Chapter 13 Insertion—The Hastiest Dream
He dreamed of returning to his distant childhood, squatting at the door of an old mud house; In the quiet night sky, a bright moon hangs; Under the moon is a mist like a light veil; It's as hazy as a fairy tale. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The unique coolness of the moonlit night is like a sweet spring flowing into his heart.
Everything is so peaceful.
Ignorantly, he grabbed some loose paper beside him, threw it into a paper tray in front of him, and then lit it again.
As the flames flickered, his body magically soared into the air, floating lightly in the direction of the moon.
As if wandering in a wonderful fairy tale world, he flew to the hazy Moon Palace and looked around in amazement......
It was a distant and hazy dream.
When you see this dream for the first time, you may be confused and unable to understand the meaning of this dream at all.
Because dreams are really the best interpretation of imagination.
If you only stay at the stage of common sense, you will only think that this child's wish is to fly to the Moon Palace.
It's like a child often talks about - I want to fly.
And then to think that this is the most simple and innocent fantasy of children, there is nothing strange at all.
However, the truth is not so obvious.
Or rather, not so one-sided.
There is another layer of more important meaning hidden in this dream.
That is, why wait for the loose paper to burn before he can fly?
What does loose paper symbolize?
From the memories of the dreamer, it is known that the loose paper was specially burned for the deceased.
If you look at the two together, it is - in the child's concept, death is just a flight to the magical Moon Palace, and there is not too much fear.
As Sigmund Freud once explained, a little girl was playing with her friends on the prairie, and suddenly all of her friends flew away with wings like butterflies.
As a result, Freud speculated that the little girl had heard adults say that people would turn into butterflies and fly away after death.
This dream is much the same.
Dreamers may have heard stories told by adults (most likely parents) that when people die, they fly to the moon palace.
That's what this dream means.
In short, in the child's mind, death is only so hazy and strange, not as sad and hopeless as adults think of it.
Perhaps, it is more appropriate to say that death was so obscure in the first conception of man.
Because the dreamer is already an adult, the dream is only evoking his original memory.
Perhaps, people will think that this dream is worthless.
Because the child's concept is obviously very naïve.
Adults can't be as naïve as children.
However, this is just common sense.
As mentioned earlier, a famous quote by Sigmund Freud was mentioned that man either does not believe in death or subconsciously believes that he is immortal.
The concept of death is so clear and clear in everyday life that it is even joked, but subconsciously it is not.
Just like a brave warrior, it is not that he is not afraid of death, but he has a hazy belief that he will not die.
This belief in immortality was best displayed in this dream.
Ladies and gentlemen, there are so many pains to go through in this life: the separation of loved ones or serious illness, the approach of external dangers, the occurrence of disasters......
All of them are related to death.
At its root, these sufferings lead directly to depression, obsessive-compulsive ...... Emergence of mental illness.
For example, as mentioned earlier - premature defense.
When a gun or a knife approaches someone, if that person defends himself too early, the personality will invisibly merge with the attacker; In order to escape the threat of death; As a result, they form a personality and attack themselves.
So, in the future, he may develop a bloody compulsion - when he sees a knife, he will be forced to imagine that the knife has been inserted into his body.
This can be described in a figurative process: when the knife approaches someone, if he defends himself too early, the knife is still far away from him, and he has imagined it to be very close; The closer the knife was, he had imagined it into his body.
Defending too early was beyond the time of his natural instinctual reactions, leading to instinctive mechanical suppression and distortion.
Of course, why defend too soon? This is not innate, and the serendipities and accidents have been discussed in detail above.
The aging of relatives can easily make a sentimental person sad and unable to extricate himself.
This can be the basis for depression.
Like a depressed person, his happiness is lacking because of instinctive courage to suppress it harshly.
Doing anything that makes him happy is too much to worry about.
For example, when riding a bicycle, I dare not let go of my hands and feet, and enjoy the feeling of unrestrained and enjoyable.
Because he is afraid of bumping into others, the compensation is huge, and the parents are implicated, making it impossible for them to survive.
Do something, don't dare to take a stroll.
Just like an accountant, he is extremely afraid of making mistakes, and he is afraid that if the number of hundreds of thousands is wrong, he will have to take responsibility; Then the parents are associated; It is enough to make parents overwhelmed or even crushed to death by the burden.
In this way, most of the lightness and happiness are ruthlessly suppressed.
He himself was unaware of it, despairing that there was no more joy in this world.
Don't think it's ridiculous to think that you have made mistakes, to take responsibility, and then think that your parents have to bear it too.
This is the secret hidden in the heart of people with mental illness.
The concept of obscurity can dilute people's fear of death, so that they dare to explore boldly and continue to obtain happiness.
If you think this vague concept is really valuable, the concept of death is so clear now.
So, please recall the first time you heard the story in your mother's arms.
No matter how scientific the argument about death or terminal illness is, it will gradually fade. (To be continued.) )
