It is now the past, 16 years in the past to be more exact. Back to adolescence and during the time when other Sects attended Cloud Recesses for schooling and education.
It was during this time that I first met Wei Ying in my dreams where he along with the others of the Jiang sect could not enter due to losing their invitations however it would seem my brother took pity and allowed the majority in save for Wei Ying. His entrance would come later, sneaking in after curfew with Emperors Smile. It is safe to say that my dream!self is less than amused.
This was also where the issue with undead corpses began.
I do not know if the dreams will continue in the past or will return to the future/present, but only time will tell.
