Lucid Dream

Today is the tenth time Sazha has been rejected by the company he applied to.

That night, he looked up at the stars in the sky, even though the stars were invisible but Sazha could feel them.

Now this unemployed man just wants to sleep soundly while waiting for the announcement of job application acceptance the next day, even though now Sazha already knows the results.

"Maybe tomorrow is the eleventh." Sazha said to himself while laughing, for some reason this time his laughter felt more genuine than the laughter when HRD made his father's joke.

That night Sazha's body slept very soundly, but his brain was still working, secretly he thought about his fate in the future and thought about his childhood dreams which were now 100% impossible to realize.

After several hours of closing his eyes, suddenly Sazha's body could not be moved, even though he was still conscious.

Sazha who was used to experiencing sleep paralysis was still afraid to open his eyes, his brain always automatically imagined strange creatures, even though he had tried to empty his mind.

At that time Sazha tried to move his fingers and toes, but he seemed to have difficulty doing so.

For tens of minutes, Sazha still did that while closing his eyes—he was still afraid of ghosts, even though he was an adult.

Because he had tried but the results were still zero, Sazha tried to open his eyes—because he knew that after this he would enter a lucid dream like the one he had heard about on the YouTube platform.

Sazha's brain always thought about the things he didn't want to think about the most, so he really didn't want to enter a lucid dream—because he had never had such a strange experience and he didn't want to feel it.

His body was sweating, but there was no movement at all. He slowly tried to open his eyes while peeking at the conditions around him.

When he felt it was safe, he tried to open all his eyes, and above Sazha was seen the face of a strange creature whose face was completely destroyed.

Sazha immediately fainted at that moment, and unknowingly he entered the lucid dream world in his brain.

In front of him, stood a monkey with a terrible appearance. The monkey screamed very loudly, Sazha covered his ears and told the ugly monkey to be quiet. However, the monkey continued to scream, until Sazha's dream world began to look chaotic.

The background of the world that keeps changing randomly, he sees dragons flying with turtle-like faces, cities above the clouds, dinosaurs, round furry creatures, and many other strange things.

Until the entire dream world becomes pitch black without any light or energy, Sazha's body slowly freezes, he sees a figure flying here and there, its form is the same as a human, but his entire body does not look physically real, Sazha's brain processes the imagination that the black figure is the spirit of a teenager.

Sazha wants to pull the teenager's hand, but he has frozen first. Suddenly he wakes up, Sazha feels something stuck in his chest, he opens his shirt and peeks at his own chest.

Now on his chest there is a green diamond that is fused with the nerves of Sazha's body, when his hand touches the green diamond, he sees all the concepts, ideas, origins, and physical details of a creature that is actually human imagination, the creature is one of the ancient animals that is considered extinct, namely the Tully Monster, the ancient animal that is considered the strangest.

After he touched the crystal, Sazha's body slowly transformed into a two-legged, two-armed monster, with eyes and a mouth that resembled a Tully Fish.

Suddenly in front of Sazha appeared a real 'Tully Monster' with a shape exactly as the scientists had imagined.

"Who are you, strange creature?" Tully asked in surprise.

"Eh…" Sazha's face seemed to wrinkle.
