Draining the pond to get all the fish, as the saying goes, refers to the practice of draining a body of water to catch fish, symbolizing a focus on immediate gains without planning for the future.
But what if, after every time the fish were caught, the environment would reset the next day? Just like a game refresh, every time you enter an instance, there are new monsters?
Following this logic, so-called corruption in the dream seems to make sense—
Just like cutting meat from a living donkey (Note 1), the tender and juicy meat is usually the fresh cuts, but as the number of cuts increases, the donkey's regeneration speed slows down. At that point, the donkey that can no longer provide tender meat can only be killed off.
This is probably the reason why people in the dreams of this world become numb and rigid as the number of deaths increases.
