Chapter 264 Where Will the Dream Go (Part 1)

As we all know, many American comics editors have the same idea. When they don't know how to express an abstract concept, they will concretize it into a character image, let them appear in the comics in human form, and give it human personality.

On the contrary, if they don't know how to make an ordinary person motivated to participate in something, they will add divinity to his personality, which is the so-called "savior's consciousness".

"Human God" and "Divine Man" are two eternal themes in American comics, and "Sleeping Man" Morpheus happens to be a member of the former.

To talk about his origin, we must start with the Endless Family.

The Endless Family is a character created by giving the imaginary concept a human form and adding human personality characteristics.

There are seven members in this family, representing dreams, death, destiny, despair, desire, madness, and destruction.

These concepts are invisible and intangible in real life, but they have a fixed image in comics, and even have their own responsibilities and personalities.

The Sandman, or the God of Dreams, is the Morpheus who now appears in front of Schiller.

It is also well known that any conceptual existence is generally very strong. Unlike those superheroes who need positive results to assess their strength, these conceptual characters are strong enough in their attributes.

The Sandman Morpheus controls all dreams. When the first creature in the universe entered a dream, Morpheus was born. He can create a thousand cats' dreams to replace reality with dreams, or make people's lives become the same as their own dreams.

Unlike Marvel, which always emphasizes the strength of conceptual existence or the difference in the field of duties, DC comics prefer to emphasize their unique personalities. For example, the Sandman Morpheus is actually the most dedicated of the seven members of the Endless Family except for fate.

It was mentioned in the comics that he was the most cautious in fulfilling his duties. Although he had great power, he never let this power cause trouble. At the same time, he was more withdrawn, had few friends, and always liked to fall into some philosophical thinking.

Because the field he is in charge of has little to do with the fields of other Endless family members, he has always been very mysterious. He has had countless external images, but he always only shows one or two of them. In most cases, he is a pale and thin man with dark blue hair and a cloak made of darkness.

The man who appeared in front of Schiller is also the same. Of course, it is more likely that everyone sees Morpheus differently. Everyone who sees him thinks he is what he is, and Schiller still remembers the image of Morpheus in the comics, so he also presents this appearance.

The original work also mentioned that the first generation of Morpheus was moody, but obviously, now he has exceeded the range of moodiness and seems a little exasperated.

He stared at Schiller with his twinkling eyes, and then said to him in a hoarse voice: "Why did you connect your dream to my dreamland, and then put in a..."

His expression at this time is difficult to describe, which is actually very rare, because even if this concept exists, even if there is a human personality, it will not really express emotions as obviously as ordinary humans, not to mention that Morpheus has always been relatively autistic, but now you can see disgust, disgust, confusion, confusion after being woken up, and anger at his home being messed up on his face.

Speaking of the dreamland, this is not difficult to understand. Everyone in the Endless Family has a unique field of their own. In this field, they are almost omniscient and omnipotent, and the field of the God of Sleep is called the Dreamland, which is a name that sounds a bit dreamy, but at this moment, it is hard to say whether the situation of the dreamland that has been splashed with shit can still meet this dreamy style.

"Before you ask me this question, I have a lot of questions to ask you." Schiller looked at Morpheus and said, "I think you should be ready to answer these questions for me, right?"

"Don't tell me that you know nothing about my situation."

"Let that lunatic leave my house first." Morpheus emphasized again: "Do you know what he did in the dreamland???"

"I can imagine that I feel very sorry and sympathize with him."

Morpheus looked at Schiller, and Schiller also looked at Morpheus. Neither of them was willing to give in, but fortunately, they were now in the dream, and the most lacking thing in the dream was time.

Perhaps the clown really did something that angered the heavens and the people, or perhaps Morpheus himself was somewhat interested in Schiller, and in the end he gave in first, saying, "What do you want to ask?" "I must tell you first that many things I know cannot be described to you humans, and the world in our eyes is different."

"Of course, of course, I know very well..." Schiller stretched out his hand and made a comforting gesture, and then let Morpheus sit on the sofa opposite him.

The globe on the table behind him kept spinning, but this time, he didn't have a globe on his head. Instead, he had a normal human image, just like in real life.

"Before I ask you any questions, I think you may have some doubts, such as why I want to find you and how I found you."

Schiller seemed very relaxed, as if he was not facing a powerful enemy, but an old friend. He explained to Morpheus: "You can control all dreams, which means you can read all my memories, including the surface consciousness space and the deep consciousness space. So I don't need to introduce too much about my origins."

"In fact, as early as the first time I had some changes in my sleep, I had doubts, because I knew that this place was completely different from the world I originally lived in. All the concepts here are controlled by you, some concepts, or gods,"

"This sounds It seems incredible, but it actually makes it easier for me to reason, because if there is a problem in a certain field, I can definitely find the person responsible for it. "

"For example, something always happens when I am asleep, so who else can I find except the sleeper?"

"Of course, I know that the fields you control are very important to this universe, so you are very busy and don't have time to explain some details to me. This is understandable, but it doesn't matter. Since you don't come to talk to me, I can also go to your door and ring the doorbell..."

Morpheus's face was very bad. Although he was always pale, anyone could see that his expression was very unnatural. He said, "Is that how you knock on the door? Put someone who is not controlled by dreams, or even dreams can't understand "Is he a lunatic who has been released from prison and put in my house? ? ? "

Morpheus' voice has some wonderful rhythm, a bit like a singer singing an aria, he said: "You have no idea how dangerous you have done. He almost made a big hole in the dreamland. Fortunately, I woke up in time to stop him. Once he succeeded, the creatures in the dreamland would run out..."

Morpheus shook his head and said: "My work for tens of thousands of years will be in vain, and it may take tens of thousands of years to make up for this accident."

"This is just an attempt of mine." Schiller did not shirk responsibility, but continued: "You have to know that I am just an ordinary human being. I don't know how loud the doorbell is to wake up you conceptual beings..."

"So you I simply put the most loud? "" Yes, when something happened frequently in my sleep, I knew who I was looking for, and then how I should find you. " It is clear that in my surface consciousness space, there is absolutely no shadow. I have a strong ability to control the consciousness space of my surface layer, including stamping more than 330 layers of thinking halls here, evolved in countless personality as residents, and set up many fields with special rules. I have a meticulous control here. Deeper consciousness "" But, in order to build the Temple of thinking, I played the foundation of my surface consciousness very firmly, which caused a very embarrassing situation. I couldn't rely on myself to pry the foundation of this layer of ground. ”

“So, when I found a wonderful drug that can affect human dreams, I had this idea. I asked a friend of mine to mix some liquids together to create a wine that can connect to human dreams...”

“Then I invited my friends to this consciousness space, and with the help of another psychologist, I dug through the foundation of the surface consciousness, allowing Jack to jump into my deep consciousness, and then kept digging down...”

“In fact, before you appeared, I was not sure whether the bottom would be your dreamland, but now it seems that my speculation is correct...”

“Reality and dreams are two sides of the same coin. If the highest point of my mind is ‘reality’, then the bottom of my deep consciousness should be your dreamland.”

“And the reason why I want to wake you up with a doorbell is that I hope you can answer me...”

Schiller looked at Morpheus and said, “What is going on with that thing that has been happening in my dreams? ””

“If I don’t answer, are you going to let that annoying doorbell keep ringing?”

“Don’t say that.” Schiller waved his hand and said, “Just like you can’t control him, I can’t control him either. Although I made a trivial little deal with him, I can’t control where he wants to go.”

“Then let me ask it in a different way…” Morpheus’ tone has always been a little cold, or the kind of emotion of resisting communication that is unique to autistic and withdrawn people.

“If I answer your question, you will have a way to get rid of him, right?”

“That’s right.”
