Chapter 398: A novel about dreams

"Let's talk about dreams. ”

Professor Kelly of the California Academy of Arts is explaining in a psychology class, and this lesson is about dreams.

"Scientists believe that dreams are some nerve impulses released by the brain when processing information and consolidating long-term memories, just like the dust raised during cleaning or the flow of information being processed, which is interpreted by the conscious brain as a phenomenon caused by the bizarre sense of sight and hearing. However, the cause of the dream is still inconclusive. Because, we can only know that we have dreams, and it is impossible to know the dreams of others. At the same time, dreams also seem to be an ethereal phenomenon, and the debate about dreams has been there to this day. But no matter how you argue, many psychologists, scientists, including philosophers, believe that dreams have a lot to do with the psyche. ”

Huang Yifan didn't study psychology, but because the next work involves dreams, Huang Yifan planned to come to listen to the class.

In fact, when Huang Yifan was writing about the Youth School, although a lot of the content was quoted from his previous life. However, because there are a lot of plots, characters, and even religions involved in the book. In order to write this book well, and to better understand the meaning of this work. When Huang Yifan was writing about the Youth School, he also used other time to learn a lot about religion and faith.

Among them, there are also Hinduism, Christianity, etc.

Now that the Youth School has ended, Huang Yifan has started his next work.

"Dreams are magical, we can dream about anything on earth in our dreams. We can become giants, devils, heroes in our dreams, and of course cowards, villains, murderers. Sometimes, we can even clearly know that we are dreaming. We classify this type of dream as lucid dreaming.

Lucid dreaming is interesting, and when you know you're dreaming, there's a good chance you're controlling yourself in your dreams. In lucid dreaming, you are free to control your actions, and sometimes you can control the content of your dreams at will, and even the other people in the dream are completely under your control. That is, in lucid dreaming, you can be the master of the world, you can control everything.

Many psychologists believe that lucid dreaming is the dream state that can best test the human psychology.

Dreams are an interesting topic.

Dreams are also a proposition that countless scientists, psychologists, and philosophers have studied with relish.

"It has been said that dreams are a natural evolutionary fallacy, a fault of God's creation. It has been said that a dream is an ancient letter without translation. Some people say: Dreams are another cadenza of life. But no matter how you comment on dreams, the truth is that we have to dream every day. The difference is that those who know dreams will be useful for the rest of their lives, while those who do not know dreams will continue to live and do nothing. Dreams are like this, both generous and stingy, the key is ourselves. Okay, so there's a few minutes left in the end, and you can discuss it freely, and of course, if you have any questions, you can ask me questions. ”

In one lesson, Kelly's explanation of dreams is almost over.

"Hey, Pete, are you interested in embarrassing the professor?"

Under the podium, two white students were whispering.

"Edward, what the hell do you think, all the lecturers at the University of California have been cheated by you. However, this time it was Professor Kelly who was lecturing, and he was no ordinary lecturer, so don't shoot yourself in the foot. ”

"Ann, Pete, don't you know that it is the most interesting thing to tease lecturers and even these professors? Besides, didn't you hear just now, in fact, there is not a decent theoretical literature in the world about the interpretation of dreams and the like. Everyone has their own opinions on the study of dreams, and no one can convince anyone. In particular, I have just thought of a brilliant question that I am sure Professor Kelly will not be able to answer. ”

The Western style of education in Europe and the United States is very different from the way of education in China, and these students do not have the same respect for lecturers and professors as Chinese students do for teachers. A lot of times in class, there will be one or two mischievous guys like that. At this moment, after Professor Kelly finished speaking, Edward and Pete in the audience thought of a ghost idea.

"Alright, Edward, you say, I'll cheer you on. ”

“OK…… Look at mine. ”

Edward smiled wickedly and stood up, "Professor Kelly, I have a question. ”

"This classmate, if you have any questions, may I ask. ”

"Professor Kelly, you just talked a lot about dreams. However, I feel that the knowledge of these dreams is your one-sided subjective understanding. Moreover, I also feel that your theory has a lot of imperfections. For example, although you explained a lot about the generation of dreams, about the metaphors of dreams. However, what I want to ask is, how do we end our dreams when we are dreaming?"

Although Edward is a mischievous guy in class, this guy is actually quite smart. For all kinds of knowledge, the subject is also relatively good. However, it is precisely because Edward thinks he is smart and has a high IQ that he often looks down on other classmates. Even, in his eyes, some lecturers and even professors at the University of California are inferior to him.

Just like this question, Edward has previously studied some psychological questions about dreams. However, neither the professor nor the expert in psychology explained how to end their dreams. Edward knew that it wasn't these experts that the professor didn't explain, but that they didn't know either.

"Edward, you're making trouble again. Isn't it easy to end your dreams, just let others wake you up. ”

Some enthusiastic students saw Edward's question, and immediately accused Edward of saying.

"Hehe, this is just a passive end of the dream, not an initiative. In case no one wakes you up, how do you end your dreams. Haven't you ever tried to wake up in a dream and can't wake up? Although, I know that the dream will end later, but it will end naturally. Professor Kelly, what do you think is the way to actually end dreams?"

With a playful smile, Edward looked at Professor Kelly, who was stumped by himself.

It's a great feeling.

"This ......"

Faced with this question, Professor Kelly was a little embarrassed.

Yes, he really doesn't know.

Originally, he didn't want to explain dreams in psychology class, but Professor Kelly felt that psychology had been developed for hundreds of years, and there was really no place to break through. If you want to be accomplished in psychology, then choosing to associate dreams with psychology may be a major breakthrough point in psychology.

It's just a pity that dreams are too ethereal, which also causes many, many loopholes in the interpretation of dreams.

The question of how to end one's dreams has been thought about by many professors, students, and scientists. In this regard, most researchers believe that dreams cannot be ended on their own. In other words, individuals are not able to wake up from dreams on their own initiative. Anyone who wakes up from a dream is either passive, or awakened by someone else, or frightened by something in the dream, and so on.

But Kelly disagrees with this, believing that dreams can end on their own.

Especially when you are lucid in your dream, if you find that you are dreaming, you should theoretically be able to end your dream.

However, there seems to be no way to talk about how to end one's dreams.

"Edward, Professor Kelly has already said this. ”

A voice rang out in the corner, and a yellow-skinned international student stood up.

"You, who are you?"

Huang Yifan is a student of the Faculty of Arts, and of course Edward doesn't recognize Huang Yifan.

"Don't worry about who I am, but Mr. Kelly said this question just now, if you don't remember, I can repeat it for you. ”

It was naturally Huang Yifan who stood up.

Although Huang Yifan is not an orthodox European and American Westerner, he is influenced by the traditional respect for teachers, and Huang Yifan still respects his lecturers. At this time, I saw that someone was openly asking Professor Kelly to get off the stage in class, and I couldn't stand it, so I stood up.

"Good, good. ”

Looking at Huang Yifan, Edward said viciously, "Then you can say it." ”

"It's very easy to end your dreams. ”

Looking at Edward, Huang Yifan said with a smile, "A prophet once said that we can't decide our own birth, but we can decide our own death. If you want to end your dreams, you can choose to die in your dreams. Death, shattering dreams, and you can end your dreams. ”

Death.

Looking at the answer explained by Huang Yifan, Professor Kelly muttered to himself.

He pondered whether the answer was correct.

A few seconds later, Kelly looked at Huang Yifan with some fiery eyes, and his heart was very excited.

At the same time, a few minutes later, the other students reacted, and the whole classroom burst into applause.

yes.

Death.

To die is to end one's dream.

No wonder when I wanted to end my dream, I jumped off the building, and woke up from the dream.

Now I know that it is not the jumping off the building that ends the dream, but the death after the jump.

If you die in a dream, then you will be able to end your dream.

A student suddenly realized.

"Professor Kelly said something like that?"

Looking at Huang Yifan, Edward said with some uncertainty.

"Of course. ”

Huang Yifan confirmed.

"Why didn't I hear that. ”

"This can only be blamed on you for not listening carefully, I think, in the future, these students who don't listen carefully and deliberately come to make trouble should be kicked out of the classroom, what do you think?"

Huang Yifan looked at the students.

At this time, many students admired Huang Yifan's standing up very much, and they all said, "I agree with this classmate's proposal." ”

"I agree. ”

"I agree. ”

In the large classroom, more than 100 students raised their hands.

Then, at Edward, a group of students shouted, "Get out, get out, get out......" (to be continued.) )
