Chapter 1002 Maybe It’s because of the Unknown Dream

The man in white is sitting in front of the jade goblet. The candlelight casts a huge shadow swaying on the wall. The whole temple is silent. The huge bronze pillars are hidden in the darkness. The vine-like patterns are intertwined on the ceiling and the ground to create a Another circle symbolizing ancient mystery.

Here it comes again, here it comes again, this dream again. Standing at the edge of the candlelight, Lu Mingfei thought silently.

Wandering in the same dream countless times, you may be frightened and helpless at first, and feel sad when you wake up, but now you are slightly numb.

Lu Mingfei didn't know whether this was a good thing or not. Toyama Masashi's psychological treatment was indeed very effective. Now that he looked at his dead friend sitting in front of him, he no longer worried that he would hold him accountable. Nor will he be afraid of his true appearance under the skin.

I don’t know how many times of psychological treatment successfully planted a stamp in Masashi Toyama’s subconscious. According to Masashi Toyama, the best way to treat recurring nightmares is to first solve the knot in the heart where the nightmares originate in reality. The nightmare is solved naturally. But if there is no way to find out or solve the knot, then the next best thing is to solve the nightmare itself.

Toyama Masashi, who was uncharacteristically wearing a white lab coat, lit a candle that afternoon and taught Lu Mingfei about "lucid dreaming" for three hours. The general meaning is that people's dream activities mainly come from the subconscious mind. As long as If people can control their subconscious mind, they can control their dreams to a certain extent and achieve the effect of knowing dreams within dreams.

Lu Mingfei said that I am familiar with this. I have watched Inception. Toyama Masashi also nodded happily and said, then you must know what to do next, right?

Lu Mingfei replied hesitantly, "Find yourself a top?" At this time, he saw Toyama Masashi smiling at him and telling him that he didn't need to worry about finding a top anymore, because I am your top.

Thinking about it now, Lu Mingfei still thinks this is quite gay, but Masashi Toyama immediately explained the meaning of "I am the top". He told Lu Mingfei that the reason why most people cannot actively control their dreams is because they There is a lack of training on the subconscious mind, but even professional psychology researchers cannot fully control the subconscious mind, but they have more clever ways to exert limited control.

Plant a deeper subconscious, a "steel seal" in your subconscious mind.

Then Toyama Masashi mysteriously asked Lu Mingfei, if I talk about elephants now, what do you think of?

Lu Mingfei replied without hesitation, Crayon Shin-chan.

Masashi Toyama's expression was obviously stagnant at that time. He coughed a few times and said naturally, "Very good. You have basically understood how to counter the subconscious."

Lu Mingfei immediately complained, "Do you always say this sentence when I answer anything?"

Masashi Toyama said that is not the case. When I mentioned elephants, you thought of the protagonist of a Japanese cartoon. This means that subconsciously, you have planted a deeper subconscious, a steel seal, in the part of the "elephant". , so when you think of elephants, you will think of Crayon Shin-chan instead of the big guy in the class Mammalia, Proboscidea, and Elephantidae in nature. In the same way, if you have been having a nightmare, then we will connect some symbolic things in that nightmare with another thing that you are familiar with, and let the latter become your stamp.

Lu Mingfei felt it was a bit confusing, so Toyama Masashi gave a simpler example. He said that the concept of lucid dreaming has always been an interesting topic in psychology, because he proved that dreams are nothing more than subconscious disturbances during sleep. , has nothing to do with things like parallel universes, quantum mechanics, and predicting the future.

The original developer of lucid dreaming was a Harvard psychology professor. His method of controlling his dreams was extremely simple, that is, he added an extraneous habit to his daily life, which was to put a pill in his pocket. ring, and then more than dozens of times a day, I would reach into my pocket from time to time to make sure the ring was still there, and while touching the ring, I would silently ask myself, is the world I am in now a dream or reality?

Masashi Toyama smiled and continued. When the professor accidentally fell into a dream one day, his subconscious also asked him to do the same action. At that moment, he realized that he was dreaming, which is when the concept of lucid dreaming came into being. Beginning to spread widely in psychology.

Lu Mingfei said that he also had to prepare a ring?

Masashi Toyama shook his head and said no need, didn't I say, I am your top. I remember you described your nightmare. In the nightmare, you could always see a man in white and a candle, right?

Lu Mingfei was stunned at that time because he found Masashi Toyama in front of him wearing a white coat and a candle was lit on the table. After that, Masashi Toyama asked Lu Mingfei to take the initiative to relax, and he used hypnosis to consolidate and strengthen this impression. After a few times, when Lu Mingfei saw white clothes and candles, he would think of Masashi Toyama from the Department of Psychology, causing his subconscious mind to determine whether he was there. Dreamland.

Masashi Toyama told Lu Mingfei that under normal circumstances, if you know that you are dreaming, you can easily control your dreams. In your dreams, you can travel to various places, meet anyone you can't see, and even You can also travel around the universe and play fantasy worlds, so the so-called nightmares are naturally not worth mentioning.

Lu Mingfei was very excited when he heard this. He wished he could go home and have a dream, and do some things he understood in his dream. But as soon as he fell asleep, he realized that he had been deceived. He was not the ordinary person Masashi Toyama said. This is a general situation.

Facts have proved that Toyama Masashi's treatment was very successful, because his treatment at least changed Lu Mingfei from having nightmares in a daze to having nightmares awake.

Lu Mingfei stood in the temple, looking at the man in white in the candlelight, waiting boredly.

Countless experiences told him that no matter what he did next in this dream, it would be useless. The darkness of the temple was like an endless maze. No matter where he went, he would eventually find a light in the distance. When he got closer, he found a bright light in the distance. I found myself back where I started.

It is not advisable to take the initiative to approach the silent Dragon King, because he does not have the courage, even in a dream, he does not dare to face the Dragon King, not only because of the majesty of the other party, but also because of the majesty of the other party. Maybe the other person was also his former friend, but he was sent to hell by his own hands.

He sighed silently, and could only stand there and wait for the nightmare to end. He spent many nights like this, standing in a place where the candlelight was not visible, silently looking at this old friend who only existed in his nightmares, until The bell rang in the darkness behind him, and the old friend stood up and passed by him to go to his destined death.

But it was obvious that something went wrong. Unlike hundreds of nightmares that had remained the same, Lu Mingfei encountered some surprises or shocks today.

When Lu Mingfei was in a daze, he didn't notice that the man in white who was staring down at the candlelight suddenly raised his head. It became Bai Ci's nightmare that he had no reaction to anything around him, just like a black and white figure in a photo camera. He was doing the same actions in his trajectory, but this time, he actually raised his head and looked at Lu Mingfei in the darkness.

"Since you're here, why don't you come and sit?" the man in white asked softly.

His voice is a little inaudible, just like a person who has died of illness weaving catkins from his throat with the remaining breath. The careless words will scatter if they are blown by the wind, so you must listen carefully, even though every word is so It's light, but together it can make you feel the weight of the dying person.

A fleeting word sounded like thunder in Lu Mingfei's ears. He suddenly raised his head and met the eyes of the man in white. Those clear, molten red golden eyes were so terrifying in his eyes that he couldn't help but step back a few steps. Bu was at a loss.

The man in white was not moved by Lu Mingfei's fear. He just looked at the boy hidden in the shadow of the candlelight silently. There was no eternal rage in his molten red eyes, but only Lu Mingfei. Some incomprehensible emotions.

Although Lu Mingfei was trembling, he didn't know what had happened to this dream. For a moment, he even doubted whether he was still in the dream. He said no, right? Brother? Is this a nightmare rampage or a real supernatural event? I remember that His Highness Norton burned incense and prayed to Buddha on the first seven days, but he could not prevent the evil ghosts from visiting the grave next year to ask for his life. But if you want to ask for your life, you have to go to Lin Nian, the dragon killer, and you insist on saying so. If so, do you think you committed suicide? You can't find it on my head, can you?

His inner thoughts were instantly overloaded, and his mouth was slightly open but unable to speak. He could only stare blankly at the man who had the consciousness to talk to him for the first time in the nightmare.

"So it's you, come and sit with me, Lu Mingfei."

The man in white softly called Lu Mingfei's name. There was no order from Yi Qi, but everything he said was filled with irresistible will. It was the will of a true king in ancient times. He asked Lu Mingfei to accompany him. If he sat down, Lu Mingfei would have no choice to refuse.

So Lu Mingfei walked out of the shadows and walked into the candlelight for the first time. The light illuminated his face. In the dream, he was still wearing the same diving suit, and he was wet like a drowned rat. Some pale faces looked at the man in white in front of the candlelight jade goblet.

"Long time no see." The man in white said, or rather, Norton said this to Lu Mingfei.

But Lu Mingfei couldn't hear any nostalgia in his tone. The other party was just stating a fact, because they had indeed not seen each other for a long time, but what was the reason for this sudden "goodbye"? Did they really say "goodbye"? Isn't this all just his dream?

"Old Tang? Holy shit, aren't you already dead?" Lu Mingfei felt that there was no worse opening statement than this, but he still said it, his voice was low and somewhat muffled.

The man in white didn't answer him. He just looked at the boy in the diving suit by candlelight. His face was so white that he looked like he was the resurrected dead man. There was some timid emotion hiding in his brown eyes, like A child who did something wrong was called in front of an adult and lowered his head to await the punishment of whipping.

Lu Mingfei felt that all this was beyond his understanding. His tongue was knotted and he couldn't straighten it out. He couldn't say a serious word. He just looked at the man in white in front of him, who was also looking at him. He thought A lot, the original fear gradually subsided, and an equal amount of bitterness rose.

Dream? Or some other supernatural event beyond your imagination? He suddenly felt very tired, and his clenched fists in the diving suit loosened.

Forget it, it’s all good, it’s okay, whether it’s a dream or something else.

Until a long time, he suddenly asked in a low voice for no reason, "Hey, Old Tang, no matter what nonsense supernatural events may happen in a while, I want to ask a question first. What does it feel like to die? You appear now Are you here specifically to find me?"

"I have never been afraid of death. Death is just a long sleep for us. The real fear of death is always that it passes us by, but takes away the people around us forever, leaving us alone. ." The man in white said, "As for why I am here, wasn't it you who brought me here?"
