The body, soul, and spirit diagrams separated from one another under the fairy's control, and she flew over to hover above them.
"This is the physical body, and yes, I was interacting with you through my physical body on the outside," the fairy snapped her fingers and two words appeared above the diagram—Astral Projection.
Then, she moved over to the second diagram which represented the soul, and as she snapped her fingers, two words appeared above it—Spirit Body.
"The spirit body is the common vessel used in lucid dreams, as it is deeply intertwined with the seven emotions and six desires of intelligent creatures, and this is the part responsible for things like intuition or dejavu."
The fairy didn't want to explain more, quickly moving to the last part, which was ironically called the spirit, and only one word appeared above it this time—Consciousness.
"I don't need to explain much about this one, do I?" Asked the fairy while floating back to Louis' shoulder.
"Be it the main consciousness or the subconscious mind, human studies have accomplished enough for a layman to understand. In any case, active or passive consciousness consumes the least energy, which is why I can appear in your dreamscape."
Then, as if recalling something, the fairy was quick to add, "Oh! If you interact with someone's consciousness and not their spirit body in the dreamscape, then they'd most likely forget the experience in the dream the moment they wake up."
Louis took a moment to absorb all of this information while experimenting with the dreamscape.
He realized that while within his dreamscape, anything his consciousness or subconscious mind registered in the past could be brought out with a thought.
He soon contributed this phenomenon to the active participation of his spirit body—as the fairy described it.
While his consciousness couldn't handle the strain of processing too much information, thus actively eliminating whatever his subconscious deemed unnecessary, this wasn't an issue for the spirit body.
With a thought, Louis conjured up a library filled with books, and these books contained everything related to his curriculum in high school—especially for the subjects of the upcoming finals.
Looking at the rows of books he could access with a thought, Louis was stunned.
"Could this be considered as photographic memory?" Louis was excited, although he knew this was far from photographic memory.
However, if he could enter Julie's dreamscape and read all her notes–… No, if he could enter the dreamscape of his cold and beautiful teacher, couldn't he get both pussy and the answers to the exams?
That's the definition of two birds with one stone!
For a moment, Louis regretted using the dream seed so quickly. Next time, he should always keep a dream seed saved up for such crucial moments.
Anyway, according to Fairy, while the spirit body is limited to lucid dreams, the same cannot be said about the consciousness.
Thus, he needed to make sure to drag the target's spirit body into the dreamscape in the future if he wanted the events of the dream to be reflected in reality, especially the aftermath of extremely intimate moments.
As for the consciousness, that could be drawn in when Louis is planning to explore their memories, search for answers, or just mess around without worrying about leaving any traces behind.
It could also be helpful if Louis wanted to do something extreme—like orchestrating a nightmare experience.
Damage to the spirit isn't something to be taken lightly, and Fiary couldn't stress enough the danger of such pranks.
If he wanted to be unhinged, better not to involve someone's spirit body into the mess.
After Louis promised that he completely understood, he continued to experiment with his dreamscape.
He built himself a paradise as described in myths and legends, a huge castle with hundreds of lavish bedrooms, a massive throne in a grandiose hall.
He wanted to create animals and servants, but Fairy said they will be no more than empty shells unless he wanted to waste dream points just to grant them a sliver of monotonous, subconscious train of thoughts.
Obviously, Louis refused.
"Can I drag the spirit bodies of others into my dreamscape in the future?" Louis suddenly asked, feeling curious.
"Yes," Fairy answered, seated on the armchair of Louis' throne with her feet dangling about. "However, your level isn't there yet. I also don't know when that feature will become available—you'll intuitively know when the time is right."
Louis nodded. He didn't ask further because he didn't doubt Fairy.
When she created the system, she only had the time to set the general framework and foundation, and so she could only provide so much help.
If it was something like metaphysical general knowledge or mysticism, she was glad to explain.
However, the limits of the system were a mystery even to herself—she only knew that Louis, the system, and herself shared a three-way mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship.
All three of them had something to gain from the other two, and this delicate balance was beautifully maintained with Louis taking the helm.
After finally grasping the ins and outs of his dreamscape, Louis closed his eyes and ended the dream.
The next moment, he opened his eyes in his bedroom, stretched, and walked downstairs.
The food was probably cold already.
Moreover, the garbage bags were left waiting in the welcoming corridor, and Louis couldn't keep them there forever.
Louis decided to get rid of the garbage first and then go eat. As he went outside to the local garbage disposer, he looked in the direction of the Greenwoods, but he didn't see his dear Auntie.
Smiling to himself, Louis returned to his house, locked the doors, had his lunch meal, and hopped on the sofa in the living room.
On a whim, he checked his available dreamscapes. To his surprise, Julie's status was online?
Louis checked the backlog, and as it turned out, she was having an afternoon nap.
Without thinking much, Louis closed his eyes and entered her dreamscape, interested to find what scenes he would encounter in this dream.
