The inspiration for Dream is from 1999 Lai Shengchuan's trip to Bodhgaya. He sat under the bodhi tree and saw people walking around it from all directions, each with his own story written on his face. He thought of what would happen if he could create a unique theater experience, treat the audience as the most sacred element, and let the actors perform beside them, so he wrote the outline of "Like a Dream".
Dreaming like a dream is a drama that attracts much attention now. The synopsis of the story is that a student who just graduated from medical college went to work in a big hospital on his first day, and five patients died in the ward on the same day. When her medical skills failed, she could only stand aside and be a helpless bystander, while these patients died in fear and panic without any inspiration and comfort.
The doctor spent a lot of energy encouraging the dying patient "No.5" to tell his story. From his story, we entered the story of Gu and their dreams. So the lives of the protagonists, even the life and death of previous lives, began to interweave, forming this epic journey.
Like a dream, the whole drama is like a huge trip, starting from the end of the protagonist's life, from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 20th century, from Asia to Europe, from birth to death, from pain to the possibility of liberation, one story after another. The story of the doctor includes the story of Patient No.5, and the story of Patient No.5 includes Gu, jumping out of the hospital in Taipei and coming to Taipei, Paris, Shanghai and Shanghai. Eight hours' journey is a story of two lifetimes.
