After listening to Bai Ling's experience and thoughts, Xu Jiannan slowly explained: "Modern people's enthusiasm for dreams has completely declined, and even interpreting dreams is regarded as a kind of superstition. But in ancient times, dreams were a very important psychological keypoint. The ancients believed that dreams had great value and significance, and saw them as harbingers of the future. We Chinese, ancient Greeks, all ancient countries with a long history and many legends, every time there is a foreign war, there will be a dream interpreter who travels with the army. The most famous is the ancient Greek emperor Alexander, who took the country's most famous dream interpreter with him every time he went on an expedition. On one occasion, he led his army to attack the city of Tyre, which was so fortified on the island that it was so fortified that Alexander had the intention of giving up. It was because of a dream that changed his decisions and thoughts. One night, he dreamed of an orc dancing wildly in front of him, and when he woke up, he called the interpreter and asked him about the meaning of the dream. The dreamer told him that we would soon be able to break the city. Encouraged by this, Alexander ordered the siege to continue, eventually capturing the city of Tyre after a terrible battle. In the present view, the dream interpreter gave Alexander a strong psychological hint through the dream, and this kind of encouragement is much more powerful than ordinary words. You're right, dreams alone can't change reality, but it's common for dreams to change mood. When we usually dream, whether it is happy, sad, or fearful, it often continues to affect people's mood after waking up, sometimes for a day or even a few days. In this case, dreams are important. ”

Bai Ling listened carefully, very interested in the story about dreams that Xu Jiannan said, because she never dared to mention her dreams to others, as if she was right, she would be considered mentally ill. But Xu Jiannan told her that many of the great deeds of the ancients were caused by dreams.

Xu Jianan took Bai Ling to the hypnotic sofa at this time, and then asked her to naturally make the sleeping position that she usually felt most comfortable and accustomed to.

Bai Ling's curiosity was very heavy, and while she was lying down, she asked Xu Jianan, is there anything to say about the sleeping position?

Xu Jiannan watched Bai Ling lie down on his side, and put both arms in front of him, and said to Bai Ling: "The sleeping position is the body language of sleep, and it is a subconscious action with very little awareness, so the information it conveys is generally not deceptive, and it can truly reflect people's psychological state." For example, your current posture, this is called yearning. Nature is actually more cheerful, but also more suspicious, with a little bit of cynicism, often not easy to decide, but once decided, it is difficult to change. ”

Bai Ling looked at Xu Jianan in surprise, nodded again and again, and couldn't stop praising him: "Doctor Xu, you are so powerful! Can you tell me about other posture......s?"

Xu Jiannan didn't think there was anything she couldn't tell her, and for a patient like Bai Ling, cooperating with each other to make a good impression was the best way to open her heart. So Xu Jianan smiled and said, "Yes, there is no problem." For example, the fetus is and is also the most common sleeping position for people, and when sleeping, it will curl up into the fetal position, and most of these people are strong on the outside and sensitive on the inside. There is also side sleep, with the arms at the sides of the body, people in this sleeping position are easy to trust others, like to be part of the crowd, trust strangers, and are relatively easy to be deceived. There is also the soldier style, sleeping on a flat stomach, with arms on both sides of the body, people who sleep in this way are generally quieter and more forbearing, they don't like to shout, but they are quite demanding of others and themselves. Sleeping in a flat position, with arms around the pillow and face turned to one side, people who sleep in this position tend to be socially active people who do not like criticism and extreme situations. There are also starfish sleeping people, lying flat with their arms on either side of the pillow, who tend to be good friends with the public, because they are more willing to listen to others or lend a helping hand when others need it, but they don't like to be the center of attention. These are probably some of the most common sleeping positions. ”

Bai Ling looked at Xu Jianan with admiration, and lay down on the sofa very cooperatively, without Xu Jianan's guidance, he said: "Doctor Xu, in fact, most of my bedtime postures are holding my lover. ”

"Oh?" Xu Jiannan was slightly surprised. Because although Bai Ling is thirty years old, her young state, as well as the information revealed in her speech and demeanor and eyebrows, do not indicate that she has any signs of starting a family. So Xu Jiannan asked kindly: "So, is it convenient to tell me about your lover?"

Speaking of his lover, Bai Ling smiled sweetly at the corner of his mouth, and even had some embarrassed shyness. She smiled and said, "Actually, I came to see the doctor for his reasons. Because most of the dreams I have have have have to do with him. I can dream clearly, and it is very real, so real that my body can feel it, it is a real feeling. Bai Ling did not shy away from telling Xu Jiannan his private secrets.

Xu Jiannan was a little puzzled in his heart, so he asked, "Do you live with your lover?"

"Yes, living together. Bai Ling smiled sweetly.

"Even if you share a bed, do you still dream of him often?" asked Xu Jianan.

Bai Ling smiled a little shyly and nodded: "Yes." ”

This made Xu Jiannan even more interested in this case, and she also smiled and said, "Then I think your relationship must be very good." ”

"Yes, he is the whole support and motivation of my life. Without him, I don't think I would have been able to live as I am now, and I wouldn't be where I am today. Bai Ling said emotionally.

Xu Jianan nodded, and then asked, "Do you mind telling me about your life experience?Childhood, family, love, marriage, work." I know it can be a bit troublesome and complicated, but I think we can find the source of those dreams by talking about your life from the beginning. ”

"Yes, if so, that's great. Because I dream every day, and the reality of the dream is so real that I always feel that it is real. When it's serious, I can't tell if some things happened in a dream or in reality, I don't remember much. In the beginning, I told people about my troubles, but they all thought, "Writer, you have a lot of imagination, you write a lot, it's good to rest...... But I know for myself that my dreams have nothing to do with my work. Bai Ling said affirmatively, and looked directly at Xu Jianan, hoping to get her affirmation.

Xu Jiannan did give her trust and affirmation: "Yes, I have to admit that the profession of a writer does require rich imagination and unbridled creativity in order to write novel and moving stories." There are many pinnacles of the art world, but they are actually from dreams. For example......"

Before Xu Jianan finished speaking, Bai Ling rushed to say happily: "For example, the eternity of Dali's memory! That is created according to his dream! But...... Is Dalí mentally abnormal?"

Xu Jiannan smiled, thinking to herself, communicating with a knowledgeable and intelligent patient is really a test of ability. She looked at Bai Ling and said bluntly: "Everything has its characteristics, and the biggest feature of dreams is uncertainty. Medically speaking, many of the symptoms of mental disorders and fantasies come from dreams. ”

Bai Ling nodded a little disappointed and said: "This is also the reason why I have to come to you for treatment, I know clearly that if I continue like this, I will be clear, clear, and watch myself go crazy." ”

"You are so smart and self-aware that you will not get to that point if you seek medical attention in time. So, let's start with your earliest memories, okay?" asked Xu Jiannan with a smile.

Bai Ling looked at the ceiling, thought for a while, and said, "If I say that my earliest memory is about two years old, do you believe it?"

Xu Jianan replied: "Letter." To be precise, when we were still in the womb, we began to have memories, but as time slowly grew, the subconscious memories were buried and suppressed. That's the reason for prenatal education, isn't it?"

Bai Ling smiled faintly, she was very glad that her psychiatrist was so professional and could talk. If you are a doctor who is cold and blunt and has to say a few words in every sentence, then you must be one step closer to going crazy.

Bai Ling maintained a hypnotic posture of lying flat, slowly closed his eyes and said, "My earliest memory is my grandfather. At that time, I was very young, and I still needed someone to hold me. My mom was busy and didn't have much time to see me, so my grandfather became my closest person. When I first walked, he would take me to the place where he worked, where there were many, many tall trees, and we were in the grass, in the woods, playing games, playing house, and that's the earliest thing I remember. ”

"What about parents?" Xu Jianan looked at Bai Ling and shook her head helplessly, this is undoubtedly another poor girl with an "extraordinary" childhood experience. Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of her grandfather first, and she couldn't mention anyone during the whole process.

Bai Ling closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and said, "Parents...... All I remember is a quarrel. Quarrels for various reasons, endless quarrels...... Fortunately, I didn't spend much time with them, and when I grew up and was with them, their bickering stopped. ”
