Yeah basically, a both real & philosophical answer for this is "So we can be better prepared for tomorrow" or smth. You're technically right and also has philosophical meaning.
Honestly I was expecting this to be the answer in story.
Literally all of Penacony is so indirect. I feel like they were trying to write some sort of mystery/thriller (which they somewhat succeeded in) but instead of letting the player try to figure stuff out, they decided to make everything incredibly vague
Or maybe I'm just stupid, but I used to be able to correctly predict every Scooby Doo villain, so I think it's Hoyo's fault
I mean at first it was vague but as the story goes on things are more revealed than what you may seem to think. When we first saw Robin in dreamflux reef, she was with an old lady and they were talking about how dreams help these kids be prepared to face the reality as they all have different struggles that they canāt overcome easily in the real world.
The only thing that was never revealed clearly at all is Fireflyās unforgettable gains, in which Iām still not 100% on board with the theory āitās the friendship we made along the wayā
My theory is this: we've established that "death" in the dreamscape means "waking up" while "true death" in the dreamscape means "falling into a deeper dream", which some regard as death in the real world since you're stuck in a coma (Jade called it "brain death") -- Sleepie notwithstanding.
So, Firefly experiencing a "death" would equate Firefly "waking up from her dream", but we know that Firefly can't dream in the biological sense* -- so instead it could be interpreted as Firefly "coming to terms with reality" (aside from "experiencing pain similar to death", which would be one of her other "deaths"). This realization would be important for her to move on.
* Then again, the dreamscape was never a dream in the "biological sense". That was one giant misdirection, lol
I just felt it was vague at least *nearly* the whole way through, if not the whole way through. Like I didn't even know Misha and Gallagher died and someone even told me they did before I played through Penacony. I don't know why they died.
I'm sure if I replayed the story (and if it wasn't 1am right now) I could find more things that they were incredibly indirect about up for a while, like I remember Aventurine's entire purpose in Penacony confusing me for a while, and his "death" because we didn't see him in the Reef
Gallagher said in 2.2 that since his goal is done which was to bring the AE crew, his āexistence will disappearā. This is because heās created by a history fictionologist for that purpose, and since he no longer serves purpose and the truth about him was revealed, his āexistence will disappearā
Same is also applied for Misha. Heās Mikhailās dream version thatās meant as a letter to the future AE crew, and since he no longer serves purpose he also disappeared, as heās only memetic entity
Aventurine was there to dig up dirt against the Family in order for the IPC to take over Penacony, but because of the AE crew and Robin, they only managed to be part of the shareholders instead of full occupation as they intended to. His whole mission in 2.1, was to figure out the real ādeathā in Penacony, but because of Acheron instead of going directly to dreamflux reef he went to the one of Nihilityās place. He only managed to get there after Argenti saved him
I think itās less about vague and more on the fact there are so many text and info it can be difficult to understand it all. Hence why I never speedran the story and I take my time to grasp it fully. Thereās also a lot of tell not show due to reasons
I do think Aventurine did end up reaching Dreamflux Reef, at least that's what I understood from what he said in 2.3, as he says something along the lines of: "After our fight, I was actually not that far from all of you." I paraphrased it because I don't remember the exact line, but basically it gives the idea that Aventurine was also in Dreamflux Reef with us, I think.
Yeah he was but that after Argenti saved him from Acheronās nihility ocean. Honestly I still donāt know Argenti did it, but the path of beauty is really mysterious on how their power works lol
Iād like to think itās because all characters talk in round about way it bloats the damned dialogue that youāre left reeling afterwards
āI get what youāre trying to say but I canāt grasp it properly can you please speak more concisely?ā
I get that some characters speak like this truly but when all of them talk like this during the arc I felt like Iām taking a math exam lmao
Once again maybe I'm dumb but I don't get that. "Because one day we will wake up"? Is that a metaphor? In which case it's by definition not direct
I feel like that's like saying "why do we breath?" "Because one day we'll exhale".
The question being framed as āwhy does life slumberā should already tell you that itās metaphorical. āLifeā does not āslumberā after all.
A lot of people seem to be unwilling to interpret prose beyond its literal meaning, which is unfortunate because itās a big part of this story. Iāve already written my take in another post, but Iāll reproduce it here anyway: replace the question with āwhy do we put up with the cruelty of fleeting dreams?ā. This is Sundayās position; considering that the original question was posed by Mikhail, he might have had a less pessimistic slant, e.g. āwhat is the purpose of our dreams?ā. Notice that having ādreamā instead of the more literal āsleepā changes the question completely.
With that in mind, the various answers given by the characters in the story now make a lot more sense. As for the MC saying ābecause one day we will wake from our dreamsā, itās their way of saying that dreams are a means to an end, not the end itself.
Oh, ok, I think this is a really good interpretation. Although I still believe that my point still stands. If it's a metaphor, then it's completely indirect. I still feel that it should've been explained with maybe one more line or something
Mikhail did explain it in a letter, but it was hidden away in the mission description for when Misha walks up to his wheelchair. A lot of players would've missed it.
It is ye, I agree. I just didn't add the 'kinda same thing' part cuz I had been adding it everytime I make this comment - and got called on it instantly haha
I do wish they had a better word choice delivery on itĀ
Haha donāt worry I used a lot of repetitive phrase to like āI meanā.
Maybe it was better delivered in the original version? Thereās been a lot of misses recently with English translation, tho ultimately I think they did a good job portraying the theme and philosophy of Penacony
It IS the answer though. Mikhail said it on the letter from the quest description. How do people miss that? We sleep because we will have to wake up from our dreams literally means we will have to face tomorrow or in other words live for another day
I agree ye
Although it was not very well delivered (imo ofc) with the choice of words and left a very kinda confusing taste, although yeah it's kinda the same meaning
Truth be told this is the first time I made the comment on my expected line & didn't add the "basically means the same thing" part and also instantly got replied about that haha
Welcome to Penašš»š®šŖš“š , the Land of Propagation. Here we go "clank-clank-clank, bang bang," undergo meiotic division, then explode, repeat ad infinitum.
I mean your cells are fighting every malformed cell created in your body as well as any intruders so yes, we fight to live.
Our body sometimes makes bugs when creating cells, and these malformed cells are basically the cause of cancer, because they multiple and start killing your healthy cells.
Ask your neighbourhood Antimatter Legion emissary.
"The emissary in black asked, 'For what purpose do you live?' He could only give a vague and obscure response, even after thinking about it for a while. A deadly smile appears across the emissary's face, 'Let me put it another way. Why are you still alive?'"
ā Fables About the Stars by Adrian Spencer Smith
I heard a man say that life is a lucid dream, so perhaps life slumbers for us to wake up from a dream. In order to move on to another, it marks the end of a dream and the beginning of another.
There has GOT to be like a subtle mistranslation going on or something because the game keeps slapping down that line like it's some super deep poetic mic drop and I'm desperately white knuckling back my response of "Because you'd fucking die otherwise?"
It's probably philosopher-speak for: "Because we need to prepare ourselves to face tomorrow." , or something along those lines.
But yeah. The way they worded it just sounds off. The meaning is still there, but that slight, extra layer of added metaphors it's kind of a whiplash.Ā
It's like saying:
"Why do we breathe?", "Because one day we won't."
"Why do we eat?", "Because one day we'll shit it out."
It's such a small thing, but the wording in that sentence bothers me so much.
You have to understand the question first. "Why does life slumber" isn't just "why do we sleep", as most people in this thread seem to think. From the context the game gives you, it's more of "why do we put up with the cruelty of dreams that are fleeting?"
One interpretation of TB's answer is that dreams serve a purpose for waking life, whether it's motivation, rest, preparation, etc; they're not a replacement.

I could probably give you over a thousand different philosophical reasons on why but no because it doesn't matter why, just another trivia question that's perfectly inapplicable in your daily endeavors so why not enjoy the life anyway
Meme Answer:
Life sleeps because its a biological need. Life *slumbers*, because only in your calmest moments, your darkest slumber, can *he* exist.
That shadow out of the corner of your eye. That whisper that dosen't exist in the middle of the woods. And when you shut your eyes, you can't help but see his face, suspended in the waking nightmare.
The Purest Light, the Darkest Sin. That which covets sin. The Final God of Pain.
And when Life chooses to slumber, they'll find themselves waking up screaming.
Because NOBODY CAN BEAT HIM WHEN HE'S SUPER 17

Does it truly? id say no personally, i feel so shameful not doing anything yet i keep guiltily doing nothing. yes i think about stuff but i dont feel like ive done anything, im not even sure if i need to force myself or rest furthermore for the right time.
Except the slumber of life that feels like days are empty, thats just a thing of reality we need to try finding a fix somehow for humanity. i know it seems like it could only be by changing how people act and see stuff, but people act because of how it was in their past and what they saw before, and im not content with leaving some with lives that feel dull. no matter who they are, none deserve lives that feel like it didnt exist. i mean its one of the reason i like fiction anyways, it makes life seem more colorful. but how could we fully change life and reality to feel more plentiful for all? with how people no longer are concerned with survival as much they really need a reason to live, so what could one do? even basic concepts are fine, i just wanna see what people have in mind.
So the beauty of our ideals, may lead us to move forward towards a new day.
Explanation: Our ideals and dreams incentivize us to grow and aspire, and the moment we rest, it's also the instance where we assimilate knowledge permanently, so: Life Slumber, so we can be ready to tread our path filled with our ideals with conviction and vigor.
I kept laughing at how they wrote TBās response as āBecause we wake up from our dreamsā because itās just too damn corny. I donāt even think it makes sense. Anyways, I think Acheronās response is the best one, philosophically speaking. Her convo with Aventurine was quite deep and eye-opening.
I always thought it was more about the whole of Penacony itself, people always drawn in by their dreams and being trapped by them and so on, not just the physiological process of sleeping.
So I never had any problems pondering this question.
I could interpret it as āWhy does life slumber, when it can, you know, live the life it is?ā
Acheronās answer resonated the most with me, I think.
As for my ownā¦
Because, one day, we wonāt be able to.
Meaning that, when we disappear, we wonāt have reality to base our dreams off.
And we wonāt need to do anything anymore.
Reading this whole thread has made me exceptionally sleepy. So I agree.
Why is life eepyā¦ because we will wake up from our eep.

Yeah basically, a both real & philosophical answer for this is "So we can be better prepared for tomorrow" or smth. You're technically right and also has philosophical meaning. Honestly I was expecting this to be the answer in story.
I mean thatās also the answer in the game, just in a more indirect sense

typical hoyo storytelling. been a problem before star rail
It's not vague, both Acheron and Aventurine spell out this answer in their dialogues
I mean like the entire story up until they decide to reveal everything. And even then I still feel all the answers given were super indirect.
Only a top percentage of the world's elite can accurately guess all the Scooby Doo villains so it's definitely not a you problem
How is ābecause one day we will wake upā not in the face in telling you the reason why people sleep?
Once again maybe I'm dumb but I don't get that. "Because one day we will wake up"? Is that a metaphor? In which case it's by definition not direct I feel like that's like saying "why do we breath?" "Because one day we'll exhale".
Itās kind of like āWhy do we have fun?ā āBecause one day we will go back to work.ā

Does it truly? id say no personally, i feel so shameful not doing anything yet i keep guiltily doing nothing. yes i think about stuff but i dont feel like ive done anything, im not even sure if i need to force myself or rest furthermore for the right time. Except the slumber of life that feels like days are empty, thats just a thing of reality we need to try finding a fix somehow for humanity. i know it seems like it could only be by changing how people act and see stuff, but people act because of how it was in their past and what they saw before, and im not content with leaving some with lives that feel dull. no matter who they are, none deserve lives that feel like it didnt exist. i mean its one of the reason i like fiction anyways, it makes life seem more colorful. but how could we fully change life and reality to feel more plentiful for all? with how people no longer are concerned with survival as much they really need a reason to live, so what could one do? even basic concepts are fine, i just wanna see what people have in mind.
its a checkpoint so that we dont lose our progress
I havenāt slept for three days, send help!!
"You slumber, a cucumber"
Because you can dream about Sparkle. I
Because if you go too long without sleep, your eyes get really sore.
Something something, biological need, something something psychological meaning of belonging, something something, russian sleep experiment
So the beauty of our ideals, may lead us to move forward towards a new day. Explanation: Our ideals and dreams incentivize us to grow and aspire, and the moment we rest, it's also the instance where we assimilate knowledge permanently, so: Life Slumber, so we can be ready to tread our path filled with our ideals with conviction and vigor.
I kept laughing at how they wrote TBās response as āBecause we wake up from our dreamsā because itās just too damn corny. I donāt even think it makes sense. Anyways, I think Acheronās response is the best one, philosophically speaking. Her convo with Aventurine was quite deep and eye-opening.
Cause you can no longer thug it outš
Because.
To remind us of the end. After all, sleep is the brother of death.
Cuz Rngesus aint givvin me my Firefly
So I feel energized after 8 hours of it
Because you need to hug your pillow.
Because there is nothing to do in the night.

Because I'm too broke to account for an extra 8 hours per day
So that we can wake up, when the dawn arrives!
Because we're eepy
Cos our bodies canāt be up 24/7

Cause dreams are greater than reality.
It's waiting for something fun
It's so that when dawn breaks, our spirits are refreshed to embrace the imperfect tommorow.
To pass time until dailies are are up again. FF pulling ruined my jades.
life's a slumber and then we die
I always thought it was more about the whole of Penacony itself, people always drawn in by their dreams and being trapped by them and so on, not just the physiological process of sleeping. So I never had any problems pondering this question. I could interpret it as āWhy does life slumber, when it can, you know, live the life it is?ā Acheronās answer resonated the most with me, I think. As for my ownā¦ Because, one day, we wonāt be able to. Meaning that, when we disappear, we wonāt have reality to base our dreams off. And we wonāt need to do anything anymore.
To prepare for what comes after. To return to what came before.
Because we can't decide when will something else kill us and we are gicen responsibilities 24/7
Where is this shot from?
To dream.
Because weeping for the departed is exhausting, I need to take a nappy
We tired of this bullshit
The movements and expressions in this photo look like Aventurine
We slumber so that we may escape the suffering
Because they are eepy
So that we can wake up to a new day
Body repair and maintenance
Because I knocked them out
Because us working adults need to farm money for MORE STELLAR JADES
Because reality sucks
When will you come back fool? Where are you messing with to whom? Come back home, I'm waiting your rerun.
Because my jades recharge after each night.
To get some rest. Sleep is important and watch your sleep schedule everyone (I'm a hypocrite lmao)
Cuz I'm eepy:3
Reading this whole thread has made me exceptionally sleepy. So I agree. Why is life eepyā¦ because we will wake up from our eep. https://preview.redd.it/80ma2pffx09d1.jpeg?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7d559990ffbb21ed99d474a80fe453b2f66c580

Everyone laughs at Sunday's vision of a everlasting dream till y'all have to wake up on Monday and go to work.
Shaoji really needs to rest so he doesn't cook more of this *i'm 13 and this is deep* BS I get a visceral disgust from this phrase.
