"Wonderful experience?" Li Chuyi made a voice similar to mockery: "At first, maybe it was." But what about when your dreams become so vivid that you can't tell the difference between dreams and reality? When you want to have a peaceful sleep but you can't help but fall into a lucid dream, and you wake up exhausted like running a marathon? Or are you trapped in your dreams and can't get out of your dreams anymore? Do you still think it's a wonderful experience?"

"How can you not get out of the dream?" Jiang Qi asked: "The dream realm of the lucid dream is set by yourself, and the entire level plot of the game is out of your hands, how can you be trapped in it?"

"Maybe it's because it's too real, the dream is too real - it satisfies all your fantasies and hopes, which is what you can't ask for in real life," Lu Feiyin said: "Then you know the huge contrast between dreams and reality, are you still willing to wake up and face the real life you want to escape?"

Or maybe you set up a dream yourself, but you forgot that it was a dream and lived it as a reality. An unpredictable smile appeared at the corner of Li Chuyi's mouth: "You forgot your dream trigger." ”

"What is the Dream Trigger?" Jiang Qi asked.

"The dream trigger is a kind of suggestion, a kind of dream suggestion. Li Chuyi explained: "It is to imply that you are in a dream. You can use it to check if you're still in a dream. ”

"It's the spinning top in Inception. Lu Feiyin was a little puzzled when he saw him, so he said a simple example: "In the movie, if the spinning top keeps spinning, it implies that the protagonist is in a dream, because the spinning top in the dream will not fall, and the spinning top in reality will not rotate all the time." People who are lucid dreamers need such a trigger to make you realize that you are dreaming, after all, in lucid dreaming, everything you feel is no different from reality. ”

Jiang Qi noticed that when Lu Feiyin spoke, Li Chuyi's hands sitting on his side were unconsciously clenched together, and there were several such movements, and he suddenly felt a little hairy standing on end, especially at the moment when he talked about the dream trigger just now, this feeling was particularly profound.

I have to say that Jiang Qi's gaze was a little explicit, but he still couldn't hide his exploration of this action.

However, Li Chuyi quickly admitted: "I have been dreaming for eight years, and my dream control technology has become more and more mature and perfect. I can even create more than three dreams, and in my dreams, I build my dreams within dreams as if I had built a sevenfold paradise - I wonder how many dreams my dreams can endure, and in the last dream, whether I can see the origin of the dream. ”

"My dreams are too deep, too complicated, and too realistic," Li Chuyi spread his hands and said, "I'm also afraid that I will forget reality in my dreams, or take a certain dream as reality, so I will naturally set a dream trigger for myself." ”

"At the beginning, I usually knew that I was dreaming when I saw the unreasonable places in the dream," Li Chuyi: "It's a pity that I felt more and more that the scene in the dream was very real - even flying seemed to be taken for granted, so I had to use a wrench to verify the dream." ”

"Wrench your fingers to see if it hurts," Jiang Qi said, "This method is very effective, I think I use this method when I daydream." ”

"But now I'm a little scared," Li Chuyi wiped his face with his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "Originally, in my dreams, as long as I saw that I easily bent my fingers, I knew that it must be a dream—how could normal fingers be twisted into that arc? But as I fell into the dream, I found that the dream was becoming more and more real and full of touch. ”

"What do you say?" Jiang Qi and Lu Feiyin said in unison.

"Because now in my dreams, my fingers can't be bent—" Li Chuyi: "Just like in real life, my fingers can be twisted to a maximum of 90 degrees, and then not anymore." ”

"Sounds a little scary. Jiang Qi picked up the mug and took a sip of coffee to suppress the shock.

"I'm afraid that one day, I will be able to feel pain in my dreams that is more real than reality, and I can feel all kinds of colors, sounds, and fragrances in my dreams-" Li Chuyi: "At that time, how can I tell whether I am in a dream or in reality, is it only suicide?"

"Although you can't kill you in your dreams, you only have one life in reality. Lu Feiyin said: "I'm afraid that suicide can't be easily tried." ”

"In my dreams, I do whatever I want," Li Chuyi: "You can imagine, I wave my hand to a palace, which is full of beautiful women of all kinds of styles, and when I walk out of the palace, there is an endless beach where I can sunbathe, I can even adjust the temperature of the sun, I can call the wind and rain, I can go to the sky and the earth, and I can do everything that is impossible in reality." ”

"Such a good dream is something that everyone will indulge in, of course you will linger," Jiang Qi said: "But you also know that this is just a dream, you must wake up to a certain extent to replenish your energy, otherwise your body will not be able to stand it." ”

"Now this is the only thing that can force me to wake up from my dreams," Li Chuyi: "No matter how strong my conscious power is to control dreams, there is still a little subconscious that has not been erased, and I still know that I am in a dream." ”

"But how long can this subconscious last?" Li Chuyi: "That's why I came to Mr. Lu to help me." I hope that Mr. Lu will set a dream trigger for me, so that I can distinguish between dreams and reality. ”

Jiang Qi exclaimed in surprise: "How can this be set by others? That's your dream—how can others get in?"

"Others may be helpless," Li Chu laughed, "but for Mr. Lu, it's not impossible." ”

Jiang Qi was dumbfounded, he couldn't help but want to be sarcastic, but he heard Lu Feiyin say: "There is a concept in psychology, called empathy, empathy means to fully experience another world, and another person's emotions are the key to enter this world. Dreaming and empathy are similar, but the key to relying on them is a scientific instrument. ”

"I have a friend who works at the Academy of Sciences, I know what he's working on, and we have to go to Beijing. Lu Feiyin said: "Test the results of his research." ”

"Seriously, I think it's very hanging," and after sending Li Chuyi away, Jiang Qi felt inexplicable: "Looking at him like that, are you really afraid that you won't be able to sleep—you say there will really be someone who can't sleep? Unless it's a brain-dead vegetative person, I don't believe that if he puts an alarm clock on his bedside and does a horseback riding dance of Uncle Bird, can he still wake up?"

"He must have tried the method you said," Lu Feiyin said, "If it was useful, he wouldn't have found me here." ”

"Dying in your sleep should be the best way to die," Jiang Qi said, "What if you happen to be in a lucid dream—the dream controller sets the time of this dream to be eternal?"

"Have a never-ending dream," Jiang Qi said, "In one breath, the person in the dream seems to have passed a century—if this is the setting, if the lucid dream really makes the person in the dream have a more real experience than the real, then in a sense, the dreamer has gained eternal life?"

"The dreamer has attained immortality in his own world," Lu Feiyin looked at him and said, "But the laws of the universe tell us that there is nothing static and unchanging in this world. As the heartbeat fails and the energy available decreases, the scene in the dream will become more and more blurred and bleak, until the space that makes the dream collapses, and the protagonist of the dream will die with the dream. ”

"I said you'd rather slow down, let me rest for a while. Jiang Qi pulled a suitcase and followed Lu Feiyin and shouted: "The subway is so crowded that I didn't drink a sip of water, and my throat is smoking." ”

Lu Feiyin ignored him, he was answering a phone call, Jiang Qi went to the ticket machine to get the boarding pass, sat on the chair at the airport and drank a bottle of water in one go, and saw that Lu Feiyin would come back after answering the phone, and said: "I will go to Beijing at twelve o'clock, Li Chuyi will come to pick up the plane, and then go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences together, and we can conduct the test at night." ”

A week ago, Li Chuyi walked into the house shared by Jiang Qi and Lu Feiyin and told the story of lucid dreaming - he lost his judgment of reality and dreams, and needed Lu Feiyin to help him set up a dream trigger. After contacting friends in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lu Feiyin agreed on a specific time to go to Beijing, but Li Chuyi returned to Beijing overnight.

Jiang Qi remembered that he begged Lu Fei to bring him to Beijing to see the so-called experience, and his face was full of pride that his plan had succeeded: "Listening to Li Chuyi's clear dream, this week is a whole seven days, and I have been looking forward to having such a dream - it's a pity not to mention staying awake, every time I open my eyes, I forget all about what I dream." ”

Lu Feiyin said: "Do you really want to experience a lucid dream?"

"Of course," Jiang Qi said, "who doesn't like dreams that you can do as you like?"

"Then tonight's dream control test," Lu Feiyin said, "Just come on." ”

Jiang Qi originally took a sip of water, but coughed out suddenly, and said embarrassedly: "What did you say?"

"I said, you can enter Li Chuyi's dream through the instrument," Lu Feiyin said word by word: "Follow him to experience lucid dreaming, and then set up a dream screen for him, which can be regarded as the link between reality and dreams - you can just come out of that dream screen again." ”

"Wait a minute—" Jiang Qi said, "Isn't this what you're supposed to do?"

"I've experienced too many experiences, and although the dream is absurd, it doesn't have any special fun for me," Lu Feiyin said, "On the contrary, for you, I'm afraid it's an extremely rare and novel experience." Don't you really want to give it a try?"

Jiang Qi didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to be a witness to the lucid dream, even though his heart was already ready to move, but he still had a lot of worries.

"Before this, I had never experienced lucid dreaming," Jiang Qi said honestly: "It's even the first time I know that there is such a dream that can be manipulated - let's not talk about whether I can enter other people's dreams as you said, even if I succeed in entering, I'm afraid I will be overwhelmed, if even Li Chuyi, who constructs dreams, can't distinguish between dreams and reality, then his dreams must be very realistic, how can I get out of dreams smoothly?"

"Don't worry about technical issues, dreams can definitely be entered. Lu Feiyin said: "The rest of the questions you said are not problems. ”

"The connection between the dream controller and the dream is getting deeper and deeper, and his perception of the dream, or vigilance, is getting lower and lower," Lu Feiyin said: "But the novice is the opposite, you don't have the experience of lucid dreaming, so the first time you dream, you will retain the doubt of the dream - with this doubt, you will question the reality of the dream anytime and anywhere." When you question, anything that is unreasonable can make you realize that you are in a dream and not in reality, you will not be deceived by dreams, and you will be able to get out of dreams smoothly. ”

"Sounds like a pretty simple thing. Jiang Qi rubbed his hands excitedly: "But the dream realm will change with the change of the dreamer's consciousness, what if Li Chuyi's manifest consciousness doesn't want me to get out of the dream, what if I encounter obstacles in the dream and really can't get out?"

"Li Chuyi set up a dream triple dream realm at most, because he has more you in his dreams, and his energy consumption has become larger. Lu Feiyin patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay if you encounter obstacles in your dreams, because no matter what you see, it's all fake - everything is false, you just need to remember this sentence, as long as you realize that what you see is an illusion, you can successfully shatter this dream." ”

"Then what are you talking about Mengping?" Jiang Qi asked.

"Dream screen is a specific word used by people who dream lucidly. Lu Feiyin explained: "That is, the screen we see in front of us in the state of closed eyes, what we usually see in the awake state is a dark screen without images, but in the dream state, we can see the images, just like the screen of a movie, so it is called a dream screen." ”

"Sounds like a lot of fun. Jiang Qi couldn't help but say.

"People who want to have lucid dreams will enter the dream through the dream screen, and when this thing appears, they will know that they have entered the lucid dream. Lu Feiyin said: "They see the dream screen and fall into a dream, and we want Li Chuyi to see the dream screen out of the dream." ”

Looking at Jiang Qi's questioning gaze, Lu Feiyin said: "Because Li Chuyi didn't dream through the dream screen at the beginning, he suddenly discovered this trait of himself, and then gradually mastered the dream within the dream, so there is no dream screen in his dream, you can set up a big screen similar to a movie projection for him, when he sees this screen in the dream, he will know that he is in the dream world, and then he will be able to get out of the dream screen smoothly." ”

"According to this, this dream screen can be regarded as a dream trigger. Jiang Qi smacked his lips and said, "Why is it that what I set for him will be successful, can't he set one for himself?"

"He has set countless triggers for himself, aren't they all known by his dreams," Lu Feiyin said: "His dreams are his consciousness, so he knows all his dreams, but you are an uninvited guest in his dreams, and you are not under the jurisdiction of his consciousness - so the imprint you left on him, his dreams cannot be eradicated." ”

"Okay, it's almost time," Lu Feiyin stood up and said, "It's time to go." ”

The two came to the waiting hall, Lu Feiyin went to the toilet, Jiang Qi was bored and clicked on the stand-alone game in his mobile phone that he had downloaded a long time ago but had never played, and played for three rounds, but he died tragically again and again.

It must have been the wrong way I opened it - this is obviously a puzzle game that can be played by elementary school students. Jiang Qi fell into self-doubt, but heard a sneer in his ears: "Hey, buddy, you have roads on the left and right sides of this game, and the monsters on the right road are not KO, but drive you to the left - seriously, it's the first time I've seen someone who dares to fight the boss with only such a little blood, and this spirit is also worth learning." ”

Jiang Qi looked to the side angrily, it turned out that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old bear child who spoke, and there was a bright mockery on his face, which made it itchy to look at.

Because Jiang Qi was curled up on a chair playing with his mobile phone, and the bear child was close, Jiang Qi kept getting up, and his shoulder almost didn't hit his nose.

"Oh, be careful—" the bear child shrewdly dodged away, "I don't have enough brains, and I don't have a good body." ”

Jiang Qi's nose was almost crooked, but before that, he touched his ears first-this is the place where the bear child was sprayed just now, and it was actually cold, and that breath was like the cool air that came out of the ice cream just after it was taken out of the freezer.

Now people are generally greedy for cold, and there is not much common sense left to maintain the body, Jiang Qi felt that he had ice in his mouth, and couldn't help but think that he also liked to eat cold drinks when he was a child, until he was hospitalized with gastrointestinal discomfort and completely changed this problem.

"It's just a game, if you can't play it, your brain won't be enough," Jiang Qi said slowly: "You know, whether a game can be developed and launched on the market is not determined by the designer, but by the public evaluation rate - if there are many people like me who don't understand how to play, this game must be rubbish, even if it is barely on the market, it will not account for much market share." ”
