I was stuck there for so long, it literally felt like years. And then I suddenly woke up, jumping out of my bed. The Astral Plane isn't really dangerous unless you stray too far off your physical body and of course stay away from entities that distort your perception. You've got to see why you are afraid, not of lucid dreaming, but at all. What gives birth to your fear? Is it even real fear or fear of being afraid? Those are thing you've got to figure out on your own. Meditate upon your Will, my friend. And some days we shall see one another in the Astral Plane.

[@bowenfeng9750]

Its because North Korea still uses one of the most severe punishments used by ancient China, the "kill nine families". Basically in ancient China if you commit a serious crime (e.g sexually assaulting the Emperor's family) then not only does your family gets executed, up to 9th related relatives gets executed. So your cousin's cousin's cousin's cousin's cousin's cousin's cousin's cousin's cousin's family gets executed and everyone in between. To put in context, every descendent of your ancestor living in the 18th century will get executed. So basically by defecting, you are literally risking a small genocide (if you have a large family). If you miss a couple shots, then maybe you get tortured for a couple weeks and small chance you get killed but that's about it, nobody else probably gets killed. People like him who defected either don't have any family (only child, both parents passed away) or they don't really have a good relationship with them. Its sad but it is also very effective in keeping people in North Korea.
