Playing house in the anime world

What kind of ability is it that allows a person to have a dream that he or she can enjoy at will while being conscious?

Aiko Gojo knew that Saiki Kusuo occasionally had some predictive dreams, and she had also appeared in Saiki Kusuo's dreams, but this seemed to have no reference value for her own situation.

Because she had no idea that she had done this, it all seemed like she did it unconsciously.

So how does she make the unconscious become conscious?

Aiko Gojo knocked on the porthole next to her. “I want to make this pink.”

The transparent portholes remained unchanged.

The lack of change was expected, because she had tried it several times and she was not able to completely control her dreams freely. Desires like "I want to eat strawberries" and "I want to drink milk tea" were something she could control.

Although the main part of the dream is related to her thoughts and things she likes during the day, once she enters the dream, she has no way to change or control it as she wishes.

For example, if she wants to paint the glass window pink, that's not allowed, but she can ask for a pink curtain, which is okay.

She couldn't paint the floor green, but she could have a green carpet.

If she wanted to leave the submarine, she couldn't, but she could make the submarine surface.

The more Aiko Gojo studied, the less she understood what this superpower of hers was.

After all, the concept of "dream" is difficult to explain. Even Saiki K. has not done much research on dreams.

Even the Frankenstein named Saiki Sosuke didn't know much about dreams. After all, dreams are related to the human body and mind. If he wanted to study them, he might have to conduct human experiments.

Judging from her playing house, her superpowers should be related to "other world", "travel through time", and "creation".

The ability of dreams is somewhat related to "creation", but it does not seem to have much to do with "other world" and "travel".

Although she seemed to have traveled to Saiki K.'s world through a dream, she herself really had no impression of it.

If dreams must be associated with "another world" and "time travel", then could her dreams be related to an other world?

Before she summoned people, she seemed to have some special dreams, and after she summoned people, she also seemed to have some special dreams frequently.

But the content of these special dreams cannot be remembered and is forgotten after waking up.

This is different from her previous situation.

If both of these situations are manifestations of her abilities... then her ability to dream is really complicated!

Aiko Gojo's personal tendency to dream is actually another form of "playing house".

Because what was her original purpose for having these dreams? It was to get rid of the dull and boring life when she was trapped in the Gojo family at that time, so when she dreamed at night, she enjoyed herself in the dream and relaxed herself.

Although at that time, no "people" ever appeared in her dreams, she was always the only one in her dreams, and even small animals did not appear.

However, one of the main reasons for this may be that her concept of "people" at that time basically came from the teachers around her who taught her those seemingly old-fashioned etiquette, as well as the servants who delivered meals and so on.

Although she longed for a close family, she could not imagine what her family should be like, so the image of the family she longed for did not appear in her dreams.

And all the other things that she could imagine were materialized in her dreams.

Maybe this is a kind of wish come true? Whatever she wants, she has it in her dreams, and she can live in her dreams just like she does in her daytime life, and she can still remember everything that happened in her dreams after waking up.

Later on, she gradually became dissatisfied with the beautiful dream of having her dreams come true. She wanted to truly have her dreams come true and to have a real family, and then she started playing house.

If the dreams she had were really related to another world, and she could travel through it through dreams, then in a sense, her dreaming ability was just "playing house."

"Does this look like a different world?" Aiko Gojo let the submarine surface and then stuck to the porthole to observe the outside.

Although the submarine traveled on the seabed for a long time, the scenery after surfacing was always the sea and sky of the same color.

She had never seen anything except the sea and the sky and the occasional seabird flying by.

If this is a different world, there should be some different things, right?

But when she looked at the marine life on the seabed, she didn't feel that there was anything particularly like a creature from another world. The main reason was that many marine life in the deep sea were unknown.

Moreover, many deep-sea marine creatures have strange shapes.

So she had no way of telling whether the strange marine creatures she saw were from this world or not.

He also had not discovered any land such as islands, nor had he seen any human beings.

"If this is a different world... is it a more ordinary different world?"

As soon as Gojo Aiko finished saying this, the calm sea in the distance seemed to move.

The submarine also began to sink rapidly and moved to the side at high speed, as if avoiding something.

Is something finally coming?

Aiko Gojo looked outside expectantly.

After sailing for a while, the submarine surfaced again.

Aiko Gojo looked in the direction they had just come from and saw a ship sailing on the sea.

There's a boat? Then there must be people!

Aiko Gojo looked at the ship carefully, but it looked very simple and made of wood, like a ship from the Age of Discovery.

And why does this ship feel a little bit - cute?

It's the kind that's not very serious, like the cartoon style in animation.

And the pattern on the sail is actually a skull wearing a straw hat!

very strange……

Aiko Gojo watched the strange ship passing by in the distance and gradually disappear from her sight.

Skull... could it be a pirate?

But why is there a straw hat on the skull? Could it be that the pirate leader on this pirate ship likes to wear a straw hat?
