As dusk falls upon ancient villages, shadows stretch their arms across forgotten pathways. There's a hush in the r as tales are whispered into the night wind – tales that were once part of dly life but now resonate through time like echoes off distant mountns.
Among these stories lie The Sleep Walker of Ming, an account from the depths of history where sleep ruled supreme even more than today might consider it. This was a man who lived in the grand era of Ming dynasty, whose days were spent in slumber. The narrative is as mysterious as it is captivating – a tale that has been passed down through generations with as much care as if they were handing over precious heirlooms.
One morning, this person found themselves awakened by their own voice. Where are my people? queried the man, his mind groggy and confused like a ship tossed in turbulent waters, struggling to find its footing on familiar shores. He called out agn, his voice echoing eerily within the silent chambers of his home.
No answer came from his family members – they were gone without trace, as if summoned by an unseen force or perhaps swallowed into the void of their own dreams. The man, aghast at this realization, called out once more with desperation that shook the very foundation of his existence. Yet, no one answered.
Days stretched into weeks as he remned in his sleep-induced trance, his body and mind trapped within its boundaries, unwilling to leave the haven it had found in slumber. His cries for help faded over time, silenced by the deafening silence of those who once surrounded him with laughter and warmth.
Yet this tale doesn't here – like many folklores, this one too has its own twist. The next morning came when he woke up agn. But this time was different. This time brought back his family, smiling and welcoming him home after a long absence into their dreams.
