The City That Dreamed of Its Citizens

Every night, a strange city dreamed. Streets reshaped, bridges curved, and buildings hummed softly. Citizens awoke feeling emotions they couldn’t explain — calm, courage, clarity — as if the city had lent them dreams of its own. Philosophers argued the city was alive; mystics argued it was compassionate. All agreed it taught a simple lesson: even structures built from stone can offer guidance to wandering souls.
