MAY-THAVEE NAYAMAPHA'S LANDSCAPE OF THE MOON Recurring dreams so real that one can feel pain and pleasure, eventually lost any sense of reality within one ’s own universe, and disappears as if never existed. Such symptoms of mythical illness called “Moon Zero Syndrome”, popular among catholic schoolgirls in the Eastern Seaboard region during 2000s, early days of web board, self published and fan fiction. The story, possibly created to accompany an urban legend “rock from the moon” that existed long before. The myth gradually lost popularity as new generations move on... Once a person’s wishes fulfilled, there would be sacrifices in exchange. There’re reports that some girls experienced symptoms of what could be called Moon Zero Syndrome. However, most cases were dismissed as vivid dream or lucid dream. In serious cases involved fatality would be regarded as drug related. By the time GeoCities (web hosting) became inactive in 2009, and local web hosting service in Thailand moving on to the next phase of technology, all data are lost. Although some may be stored in archive or deep in blockchain somewhere, it’s still beyond end user’s reach. |
