There was once a married couple living on their own.
Since about a month ago, day after day, the husband had been having the same strange dream.
He wasn't even sure if it really was a dream.
It went like this:
He would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night.
Then he would see a man, whose appearace was exactly like himself, clinging to the ceiling. This man would twist only his head around to look at him and say, "You've lived long enough, haven't you? Let's swap our places now."
So every morning it became a habit for the husband to greet his wife with the words,
"I saw that dream yesterday again."
Because it happened every day without exception, the wife began to really worry about him.
But one morning the husband got up and all he said to her was "good morning."
That took the wife by surprise and she asked him straight away, "didn't you see that strange dream yesterday?"
The husband replied:
"What are you talking about?"

On a different note, this story really does its intended job. The twist is predictable, but it explores our fear of losing loved ones. To think she might never get to see her real husband again is pretty unnerving.
Well, it's cryptic anyway , so there could be more than one possibility
O [] O;
Interesting story! (^.^)

This is my first comment in here though. I've been an avid fan for like a year now.
makes you wonder what would happen next.
@SAYA - what do you think about the strange dream?
Thanks for translating it!
@HN3: aww you're a man of action! lol
@nid: How can you sleep soundly right after reading the stuff on this blog? Because I can't! XD
@Diogo: true, the divorce papers are the last thing I'd think about if I were her! XD
It does play with our fear of losing our loved ones. Well said, Diogo!
@KC: At a first glace, this seems pretty straightforward for a cryptic story, but as you say there might be other explanations, you never know!
@Time Waits & Nanami: Yep! I'm glad it gave you girls chills! lol
@Princess: Your Royal Highness is always positive, expecting a happy ending to everything! :D
@unicorn: she and her husband look alike are going to live happily ever after! I dunno XD
@Paan Ovrd: Oh that sounds like a very cool story! I'll have a look at it now! Thank you!
It's very nice of you to comment, Paan. I'm glad I've come back to give you more stories to read! :D
@ryuu: I can't think of any other interpretation of the story, dear. As I said above this seems to be a pretty straightforward story, but there might be other possibilities!
@Anon: you're very welcome, dear :D
D: they changed bodies! how could he be so stupid! Dx!!!!!*facepalm and explotion*
*FATALITY!*
@Niya Kokoro: Thank you dear for your nice comment.
Unbeknownst to some people, translating requires a lot of skills, and I'm glad I am able to provide people with something they regard as readable.
I hope everything goes well for your future career! Always have faith in yourself and always listen to your heart, no matter what, and your wish will come true.
Take care!:)
I do like a creepy story with a somewhat happy ending! (Ｔ▽Ｔ)
I really do think though that he had already changed bodies, it all depends on looking at the line "you've lived long enough haven't you?"
If anyone lent their body to someone they'd obviously haunt them and ask for it back as much as possible...(・ω・)
The site's real!(｀・ω・´)” eeeek!
But this could be a very funny joke to play on your husband/wife/family member- especially if they are susceptible! Although, if they are too susceptible, they might never trust you again...
Very creepy!
