A mysterious dream that has haunted me for nearly 20 years, and no one has been able to solve it so far!
For years, I have been haunted by a mysterious dream, very different from what many people call "dreams", which has lasted for nearly 20 years and has left me unable to let go. It's not fiction, it's a real experience in my life.
I started dreaming about this nearly 20 years ago, and the initial scene was when I took a boat to a peaceful village. In addition to the water, the village is also nestled next to a mountain, which is like a paradise and the scenery is intoxicating.
In the dream, I talked to the villagers for a few words, and then the dream came to an abrupt end. At that time, there was nothing special about this dream, as if it was just an ordinary landscape dream. However, strangely, a few days after this dream, I fell back into the dream and continued the plot of the previous dream.
The first dream is of a conversation with a villager, followed by walking a few steps after talking to a house to talk to another person. Then the dream gradually continued, and in a few words, the scene of this village was repeated in my dream for more than ten years.
Dreams are mostly plots that continue from the previous dream, with occasional new content inserted. Most of the conversations in the dream are short trivial things that seem ordinary. However, my subconscious mind seems to be looking for some clue, even though I don't know where it leads.
What's even more bizarre is that as this dream repeated, I became more and more impressed with it, so much so that in later dreams, I even realized that I was dreaming. However, although I knew in my heart that it was a dream, I did not want to wake up easily, and longed to find the answer to my question. However, each time the dream lasts for a certain period of time, it still comes to an abrupt end.
I was bewildered by this dream, and my desire to find answers to it grew stronger. 
Unique and strange dreams have always haunted my life, especially the first one that happened nearly 20 years ago. Completely different from what many people call "dreams", this dream has lasted for nearly 20 years from beginning to end, and has become a mystery that I can't let go.
At that time, I was living in Changping District, Beijing, and one day in 2007, after having this dream, I experienced a strange "ghost press" situation, but it was only one time, only this time.
In my dreams, the villagers often said to me, "You're here again, it's been a long time." This sentence made me feel a little scary when I woke up, but at the same time it was filled with a wonderful sense of excitement.
Since then, especially in the past decade or so, whenever I travel, I always keep an eye out for places around me that resemble the village of my dreams. I kept searching the internet for landscapes**, trying to find a place that matched the vision in my dream, but unfortunately, I never found it.
The last dream happened a few years ago, and I vividly remember that the people in the village seemed to be unhappy, as if they had something unspeakable on their minds. Then, the dream came to an abrupt end. I haven't dreamed of this strange village for years, and the sudden interruption strikes me as strange. 
Scientists tend to be dismissive of my dreams.
I've consulted with people in a number of professional fields, including experts in dream interpretation, psychology, and medicine, who may be able to give a point or two of explanation in terms of stress, pursuits, etc. However, unfortunately, no one can explain why a dream can last me for so many years, I can still be consciously in a dream, and the plot of the dream is relatively coherent.
Frankly, I'm desperate to get back to this dream right now. The dream, though eerie, is not frightening. And in a way, I feel like there's some hidden answer that needs to be revealed. Or maybe I need to meet a particular person to really get the hang of it.
I desperately want to untie this knot. Who knows how to re-enter this dream?
