[X] Dive unto the dim, warm halls, where bodies are packed, where revelry abounds, where the halls are scented with food and sweat and life. Ignore the crawling shadows, the webs spun in corners, the strained smiles. Witness Reverie
 
[X] Whirl into the glittering Gala of crystal and light, the great ballroom, under the dome of Xiangmen's crown. Ignore the tarry darkness still clinging beneath the tables, the scorch marks upon the beautiful walls. Witness Fantasia.

This one feels like an interesting contrast to the last time we visited Grandmother Dream. That was a ballroom, so I'd like to see the halls. The blocked option makes me curious but not too much because it's close in spirit to breaking our promise to Yue Shu to stay out of the depths.

We already were at one Revelry, let's see what Gala is like.
Also I don't think there is right or wrong choice, just flavor.

Both of these do seem like they are really just flavor of what we are going to see most likely, maybe give us different insights or the like. However it would be nice to see the everyman daydream, the thing that you want day to day, the stuff between survival and grand ideals. Also hoping that it challenges Ling Qi but in a good and positive way to potentially confront some of her doubts and thoughts about certain things found in this layer.

Frantic scrabbling in the dark, betraying and being betrayed. Cold and hunger and want that can never ever be filled.

Isolation and Endings.

Creation was a defiance of Isolation. It said to the world, 'Look, I am here'. It said to others 'See, I have meaning to give'.

Interesting that Ling Qi seems to be coming to similar conclusions about the power of belief to unite people as Palace of One, thanks to our work with the Dreaming Moon.

Given our stated aim of helping to develop a national identity for the Emerald Seas, our combination of Dreaming techniques and Isolation/Community core insights, and our secret goal of removing the Duchess from power, there are a lot of parallels between us and the old Hui Matriarch - but between our own insights on Truth and the reality of the streets, and the external influence of Shenhua and CRX, there should be a lot less opportunity for the Hui's delusional liminal rot to set into the Ling clan.

So maybe we can do what Palace of One was aiming for but right, without ushering in millennia of awfulness?

It strikes me as surprisingly plausible, and also pretty neat.
