LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 5: Reconstructing Memories and the Mystery of Another World
Brainwave Analysis
One month later, on a Saturday, psychiatrist Masato Matsuda was listening to Kira Moroboshi describe his recent dreams.
“Doctor, lately I’ve been having extremely vivid dreams. In the dream, I’m in a completely different world, and they call me ‘Apollo,’” Kira confessed.
Masato, intrigued by this revelation, asked for more details. “In that world, the sky is much wider, and the stars seem so close that I could almost touch them. Music flows through the air like the wind, and everything feels in perfect harmony,” Kira continued.
Immediately sensing the significance of this, Masato contacted Satoshi Koizumi to share the information. The two met at the RIKEN Institute and, with Kira’s cooperation, planned an experiment using cutting-edge technology to recreate the dreams. This advanced system, developed at Osaka University, could visualize brainwave data, transforming it into video-like images, allowing them to reconstruct visual memories.
Reconstructing the Memories
The experiment proceeded carefully, and finally, the results came in. By analyzing Kira’s brainwaves and converting them into visuals, they projected a vast, otherworldly landscape. Astonishingly, the imagery matched Kira’s dream almost perfectly. Temples, the name “Apollo,” and the world he described were faithfully recreated.
“Look at this. It’s possible your memories are connected to an actual alternate world,” Satoshi said excitedly.
Takahara, equally thrilled, added, “If this is true, our research could make a huge leap forward!”
Kira’s Experience
Kira then began to describe another experience—the night of the full moon when he felt he had traveled to this other world. His eyes sparkled as he described the vivid details, explaining how it felt so real, like living through an actual adventure. He spoke of people he met in the dream and the adventures he experienced.
Satoshi, intrigued, asked, “Do you remember any specific places or people from the dream?”
Kira thought for a moment and nodded. “Yes, but the memory is hazy, like a fog… It’s as if when I try to reach for it, it slips away.”
Suddenly, Kira’s eyes widened as he recalled something. “Wait… I remember! In the dream, someone whispered, ‘Gather at the shrine on the night of the next full moon.’”
Satoshi and Masato exchanged thoughtful glances. If this was more than just a dream, what could it mean? They began to speculate, considering the potential implications of this message.
Contacting Li Wenqiang via Web Conference
Afterward, Satoshi reached out to quantum mechanics expert Li Wenqiang, who was also intrigued by the findings. A web conference was quickly arranged.
“I reviewed the data you sent. These results are fascinating,” Li said, speaking through the screen.
Satoshi shared the brainwave data, explaining, “If this is indeed a glimpse of another world, it could be a groundbreaking discovery. What are your thoughts?”
Li carefully considered his response. “It could just be part of a dream, but the data warrants serious attention. The unusual patterns we’re seeing in these brainwaves can’t be ignored. We need to conduct a more thorough investigation.”
Confirming a Scientific Approach
Masato, with his calm perspective, raised a critical question. “There’s also a chance that this is just a dream. We’ve seen cases where patients under the influence of drugs reported seeing worlds that didn’t align with reality.”
Satoshi agreed with Masato’s caution. “You’re right. We need to proceed carefully and ensure that our approach is grounded in scientific evidence.”
The group resolved to move forward cautiously, vowing to unravel the mystery of this other world step by step through further research. With renewed determination, they began planning the next stages of their investigation, aware that they were standing on the edge of something potentially monumental.
