Dream About Sect Leader Reincarnation

This dream was about

The scene changes and I'm at a lake, or moreso standing ON the lake It's foggy, it's cloudy, and there are a few characters I know from a few fictional Chinese Xianxia/Wuxia fantasy works that I like One of the characters who is the head of a sect is being interviewed by his disciples and his sect's men as to why he successfully managed to 'come back from the dead' when he was found missing for more than a few weeks, last seen in a dangerous mountain range with known sightings of ghouls and energetic disturbances He goes on the explain that he saw the lake he is currently standing on there, and that a sage offered two tasks to complete: 1. Travel to another world, accompany a day-trip of a girl(which happens to be me) and fulfill the itinerary And 2. Get your yupei(jade pendant with his sect's crest, a very important item) and your life taken to die and be reincarnated with the person vou claim you hate but secretly envy and admire, to be seen as someone on an equal level in the way you want to be seen The person being his fellow disciple in his martial arts The sect leader says he'd do both, accompanying me on a trip through the regions of the country where I used to pass by on a train to go to therapy The area is almost entirely sunken under the ocean, with the train running on the railway raised up from the waters by bridges and the remaining parts of the cities He becomes anxious when I don't show signs of getting off the train when I said I will, but I assure him and use an alternate route to get all of them back where they came from by the end of the trip He comes back to his home world and the sage does a ritual to send his soul to the afterlife, putting the sect master in the lake His jade pendant gets dismembered, and the beads and the gems that makes it are given to the sage The sect master is relieved that his wish finally comes true, but then has a lingering thought about something about his life that he's attached to, which is the person he's trying to follow into the afterlife Then the jade pendant assembles itself right back and he's dragged back to the world of the living, the person he wanted to be with getting reunited with another person the sect master doesn't like but the person he liked does Now the scene's back to the present, and his current disciples are sort of baffled, being at a loss of reaction at the fact that their sect master is bitter that he didn't get to die, while the man himself has a hissy fit, pleading to the heavens addressing the sage by all his former titles(e.g. '...th General of the ...., ... 'Keeper of the gems/artifacts') to give him another chance The scene is somewhat comedic despite the sad undertone of what had transpired
