If your secondary is mostly default grays and flat colors, P2000 | Lifted Spirits (CN: 升天, internal cu_p2k_flying_dream) is one of those eco-round guns that actually carries a mood. It dropped January 20, 2022 with the Dreams & Nightmares update, sits in the Nightmare Collection, and rolls as Uncommon with a custom hand-painted finish—not a sticker stack, but a painted idea: souls drifting up from under the forest.

Workshop artist Des kept the motif simple (woods, spirits, ascent) and left room for your own read, which fits the case’s dream/nightmare pairing. The flavor line lands with a wink: many lost souls do not wish to be found—the art pulls upward while the copy tells you not to stare too hard.

Where it comes from

• Dreams & Nightmares Case
• Nightmare Collection

When you’re opening or backfilling inventory, match both labels so you don’t grab the wrong sibling skin from the same case line.

Inspect & wear (0.0–1.0)

Full float range means Factory New and Battle-Scarred are different skins in practice. Before you spend:

1. 3D inspect in-game (or high-res preview on Steam / C5GAME).
2. Watch how the forest and soul shapes sit on the slide, grip, and frame.
3. On high wear, hand-painted edges often soften and base metal peeks through; low wear keeps the palette cleaner and the “rising” read sharper.

Uncommon rarity pushes it toward set/theme collecting rather than top-tier cash-out liquidity—but if you’re finishing Nightmare pages or want a P2000 with narrative weight, pricing and recognition usually land in a sensible middle.

Shopping verdict

Buy direct if you already know the float band you like (often mid–low wear for this art). Open the case only if you want Nightmares drops broadly and treat Lifted Spirits as a bonus. Compare wear tiers and recent sales on Steam Market and C5GAME, then commit—don’t impulse on the first listing.

Editor’s take

I treat this skin like a short story on a pistol: no neon, no robot parts—just upward motion and trees. The ironic flavor is half the personality; if that line annoys you in preview, you’ll tire of it in spawn. If it clicks, it’s a cheap way to make force-buy rounds feel intentional. Not a flex piece for traders; a good keep for players who care how a gun feels.
