After saying this, both of them laughed. Ding Qi picked up the small stone and said: "My hometown is in Wanling City, there is a river called Qingyang River in Wanling City, Qingyang River flows down into Jingyang River, and Jingyang River flows north into the Yangtze River. The upper reaches of the Qingyang River are mountainous areas, and a kind of stone is produced in the river valley, which is unique and has its own scenery, named Jingwenshi, which is a piece of Jingwenshi that I picked. ”

After the last treatment, Ding Qi gave Tu Zhi a stone and asked him to take it back to sleep and put it next to his pillow, saying that it could calm and calm the nerves. This is not the magic of the stone itself, but a means of hypnotic suggestion. It is equivalent to the pocket watch that many people are familiar with through film and television works, and the hypnotist takes out and shakes.

The use of hypnotic props and suggestion agents is not only used during the spell, but also after the spell is performed. Ding Qi is just a doctor, not a magic stick, he made it clear last time, and Tu Zhi was just joking just now.

The two laughed and chatted a few more words, seemingly casually, but Ding Qi has been quietly guiding the topic and having a relaxing effect. After a while, he asked, "Tell me more about what it feels like when you can't sleep, and what do you do?"

Tu Zhi: "I usually swipe my phone to see what everyone is talking about in the work group, and think about the progress of the project during the day. I also know that this is not good, sometimes I put down my phone and force myself to sleep, but I always can't sleep, and then I look at what time it is, and then think about what time I have to get up, thinking about how many hours I can sleep.

The more this happens, the more I can't sleep, and then the more I worry that I don't get enough sleep, I often look at the time, thinking that I can still sleep for a few hours, and the time is getting shorter and shorter, and then the sky is bright. Often, shortly after falling asleep, they are about to get up. ”

Ding Qi: "I put forward two requirements for you, one is not to do anything else in bed, and the other is that no matter what time you go to bed or what time you get up, except for the alarm clock, don't look at your watch to count the time, just sleep." Have you done it all?"

Tu Zhi: "You told me that putting that stone at the head of the bed is to fix all kinds of thoughts, I am that stone, of course, the stone does not need to look at the watch to calculate the time, I have done it." I didn't do anything else in bed, including sex. ”

Tu Zhi always likes to joke seriously. Tintze was also amused: "I told you not to do anything else in bed, except for sex, which helps with sleep." ”

"Does jerking off count as sex?" Tu Zhi still looked serious when he spoke.

Ding Qi also replied solemnly: "It's really hard to say, but it's also a form of sexual release." In this way, I will give you a simple reference principle, count before you fall asleep, and not count after you wake up. This is not a medical or physiological criterion, but rather a criterion given for your condition for the current stage of insomnia treatment. ”

Tu Zhi: "I'm not married yet, but I also have a sex life, but if you don't count jerking off, there has been no Dr. Ding since a few years ago, and you really live up to your reputation! There's one more thing I'd like to ask you for, and I'm afraid you're the only one who can help. ”

Ding Qi was taken aback: "Do you know my mentor?" Tu Zhi called Liu Feng Uncle Liu, his tone was very natural, it might be the child of Liu Feng's relatives and friends.

Tu Zhi replied: "Uncle Liu and my father are old friends, and our two families know each other very well. Back then, I also pestered him to experience hypnotism in person, and Uncle Liu hypnotized me, but I saw a girl sitting in my living room, which was amazing! I also know Mr. Ye from your hospital, and he recommended me to come to you for a meal not long ago after being introduced by a friend. ”

Ding Qi stood up, took a step forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Fortunately, Jiuyang!"

He suddenly remembered who this Tu Zhi was. When Liu Feng was teaching hypnotism, he once told a story in private, he hypnotized a child of a friend's family, and made a small joke, telling the other party that there was a beautiful woman sitting at the table, and the young man really saw the beauty, and talked and laughed with the beauty who didn't exist for a long time, and the original person was Tu Zhi.

After shaking hands, he sat down again, and asked, "Doctor Ding, have you ever had a continuous dream?"

The question was a little abrupt, and Ding Qi asked rhetorically, "What continuous dream?"

Tu Zhi: "It's like a TV series, episode after episode, I have a dream first, and then a dream after a few days, as if I can connect with the plot of the previous dream, and then I have a follow-up dream a few days later." ”

Ding Qi was a little curious: "You can remember?"

Tu Zhi: "I remember it so clearly, usually even if I can remember other dreams at the time, they will be blurred after a long time, but I have always remembered these dreams very clearly." ”

People's dreams are often absurd and scattered, and scene switching also lacks realistic logic, just like a fragmented stream of consciousness. People have a lot of dreams every day when they go to sleep, but most of them don't remember when they wake up. If a person's sleep state is observed, the eyes will move rapidly from light sleep to deep sleep, which is called the rapid eye movement phase.

If you wake up at this time, you will remember the dream you are having, and if you pass this stage, you will forget the dream and you will not know it at all when you wake up.

Even if the dream is remembered, it is a short-term memory that will be forgotten quickly, such as falling asleep and waking up almost completely forgotten. Sometimes people only dimly remember what kind of dreams they once had, but they can't recall the details.

There are many people who can remember a dream for a long time, and they can also tell all the details of the dream, which is actually a process of reprocessing, which is the "brain supplement" as the saying goes.

In this case, the dreamer deliberately recalls the dream shortly after waking up, trying to recall the clear scenes and details in it. The brain has this function, which can make up for the missing fragments of memory by itself, form a complete impression of consciousness, and form a long-term memory after reprocessing.

Interestingly, there is often a REM period when entering the hypnotic state, and the hypnotist often judges whether the hypnotization is successful by observing whether the hypnotized person's eyelids are shaking rapidly, which is very similar to letting people enter a dream. What's more interesting is that in the hypnotic state, you can also open your eyes and speak and perform various behaviors normally, a bit like the activities in a dream.

The hypnotist can make the hypnotized person forget what happened in the hypnotized state, and can also make him remember specific scenes or hints, which is modifying the person's subconscious, a bit like people's memories of dreams.

There are many theories about the causes of dreams, and until now there is no clear conclusion in the field of psychology, but there are many theories and hypotheses that have achieved a certain degree of research results. The so-called "dream interpretation", many people ignore a question, that is, first to figure out what kind of dream the dreamer has?

The process of describing dreams is a process of reprocessing consciousness, and people tell the dreams in their memories, and many scenes and details are not actually happening in the dream, but are made up by themselves through after-the-fact recollection. Therefore, the dreams that people tell reflect not only the dreams themselves, but also the state of mind after waking up.

And the dreams that Tu Zhi said are very peculiar and usually rarely happen. People sometimes experience similar dreams repeatedly, but rarely connect the plots and situations in different dreams so clearly, because the dreams themselves are not controlled by the conscious. Tu Zhi had this continuous dream several years ago, and there are three episodes in total, just like the upper, middle and lower episodes of the show.

The last time I applied it to Ding Qi, it was to treat insomnia. The cause of his insomnia is basically clear, mainly from emotional anxiety. The long-term work pressure made him subconsciously think that he still had something to do, with a sense of urgency to meet the schedule.

Ding Qi used hypnotic suggestion therapy last time, combined with behavior modification therapy, and the effect was good. As a result, Tu Zhi looked for him but had another purpose, and only after testing the level of "Master Ding" did he say it.

Tu Zhi recounted his experience, and finally said: "It is a very strange place in the dream, a bit like Xiaochishan Park in Jinghu City, but I can be sure that it is not Xiaochishan Park. I asked Uncle Liu, but Uncle Liu said that it was difficult to feel the dream through my description, unless it could really be seen. He also told me that there is one person who can see, and that is you. Interestingly, Mr. Ye and another friend of mine also recommended me to come to you. ”

Ding Qi finally understood why the mentor recommended Tu Zhi to come to him, and he asked, "Then what is your purpose?"

Tu Zhi smiled bitterly: "Actually, I can't tell, maybe I want to figure out what's going on, maybe I want to hear other people's opinions." ”

Ding Qi: "You still want to keep dreaming, don't you?"

Tu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, I do, but people don't dream what they want." ”

Ding Qi thought for a while and said, "I can try, I need your cooperation, let's do a small test first"

What really surprised Ding Qi was that Tu Zhi mentioned that the scene in the dream was very similar to Xiaochishan Park in Jinghu City, but he had also been to Xiaochishan Park and knew that there was no such place in reality. In Tian Qi's spiritual world, Ding Qi has also been to a place, the scene is very similar to Xiaochishan Park in Jinghu City, why is there such a coincidence?

The hills of all sizes are undulating, many of them like half a steamed bun that has been cut, towering towards this red stone wall at the water's edge. There is no Yangtze River in sight, only the river bank and the red stone wall, and there is a stream in front of it. The stream is shallow and clear, and you can see the pebbles and fish swimming at the bottom.

The blue sky and white clouds are drifting, the scenery is very beautiful, and the further you go, the more you can feel that there seems to be a suppressed and murderous atmosphere between heaven and earth. Ding Qi had been here before, and in Tian Qi's spiritual world, even the starting point under his footsteps was the same, but it was obvious that Tu Zhi was not on the same road, bypassing another hill and entering the hills.

There are sparse towering trees all around, and the tall canopy is open to block the sun, and the dark brown trees look a little solemn and gloomy. Perhaps it is the hint of this environment that gives people a feeling of depression and slaughter, Ding Qi also felt it in Tian Qi's spiritual world, but it was different from Tu Zhi's spiritual world.

Tu Zhi didn't have Tian Qi's tyrannical and destructive mental state, he just felt a somewhat solemn atmosphere in the environment, but more of a time enjoying the beauty of the surrounding scenery. The weeds in the forest are no longer yellow, but green and vibrant. There are sparse shrubs in the meadows, and occasionally clumps of wildflowers can be seen, which is charming and lovely.

Walk to the edge of the flower bush and apply until you gently reach out and touch the edge of the petals, looking cautious. Standing here, I no longer feel so solemn and depressed, and the fragrance of flowers in the wind makes people feel comfortable and gentle. If you tell the time, Tian Qi's spiritual world should show the scene at dusk, but here it is daytime.

Tintzi sees the world through Tu Zhi's senses and perspective, he doesn't do anything, and he doesn't spot the strange creatures like last time.

It can't be said that Ding Qi is experiencing Tu Zhi's dream, he just used hypnotic induction to make Tu Zhi's spiritual world show the scene in the dream, and then he entered the other party's spiritual world.

In this state, Ding Qi himself is sober and focused, but there is no complicated reasoning and thinking, and the conclusions drawn in his mind are like direct judgments in the subconscious. Or to put it another way, the complex reasoning and thinking process under ordinary circumstances has naturally been included, and everything lies in Ding Qi's usual knowledge reserve and way of thinking.

Ding Qi had already realized that this was a real place, and Tian Qi and Tu Zhi had both been to this place one after another.

Tu Zhi, who was standing by the flowers, suddenly felt something, turned around and looked not far away. Under another bush stood a girl with clear eyes. The girl was wearing a light blue dress, Ding Qi had seen this dress, and saw it when she accompanied Jiajia to the mall, Jiajia took it off and gestured a few times at that time, but put it back and didn't buy it.

This long dress has a round neckline, short sleeves, and a corset, without any other decorations and patterns. What made Ding Qi feel strange was that this girl seemed to have only this skirt on her, and there were no other accessories or clothes, so she should not even be wearing underwear. Although the fabric is opaque, it has outlined the contours of the body, and the breasts are soft and full

The girl was very beautiful, her skin was like snow, her hair was long and black, and even her feet were bare, and she wore no shoes. But as she stood there, she naturally gave the impression that she was meant to be that way, and that any other ornaments were superfluous.

In her surprise, the girl spoke: "Did you run out of it, you shouldn't have come here, go back quickly!"

Tu Zhi came back to his senses and said, "Who are you and where are you inside?"

Girl: "The end of the river, the world inside, do you know how to go back?"

As soon as he said this, Tu Zhi suddenly felt a cold wind coming from the back of his head, and he was about to turn his head to look when he suddenly lost consciousness, and he only heard the girl let out an exclamation.
