Chapter 2 The Relationship between Dreams and Reality

"But then again, is it really okay with the patient just now? I think he's really tormented by his own nightmares. "During the meal, I remembered the patient in Li Jing's office just now.

"That's why I asked him if he had any brain trauma." Li Jing thought for a moment, "This is the fourth time he has come to see me this month, almost a month ago, when he first came to me, he said that he didn't sleep well. I checked his pulse, he was in good health, at first I just thought he might be dreaming because he was stressed, but as he came to see the doctor more often, it became clearer and clearer to describe the dream to me. I realized that his nightmares might be psychological. But he also said that he hadn't done anything that might cause nightmares, and I had watched the way she spoke and knew he wasn't lying, so I thought he might have forgotten something about himself. But these things are still stored in the depths of his memory, which he has recently been awakened for some reason, but he himself is not aware of it, and his brain reflects this part of the memory to him as a dream. So I very much agreed that he should see a psychiatrist and recall the original events so that he would not be haunted by nightmares again. ”

"Is there anything the psychiatrist can do?" I scooped a spoonful of the soup, and although there were some soothing herbs in the soup, it was still sweet and delicious because of the rock sugar.

"Now I can only help him do hypnosis and see if I can make him remember the past. However, some people deliberately forget some bad things in the past, or selective amnesia, if it is really hypnotic to help them remember, it is also a bad thing for patients. Speaking of this, Li Jing's voice became a little smaller, probably remembering that Cui Yuling had something to do, I knew that it had aroused his sadness, so I quickly finished drinking the soup in the bowl and volunteered to wash the dishes.

He saw my guilt and smiled; "Alright, it's all over. I don't blame you. ”

"Yes, yes, thank you for forgiving me. But the small ones haven't been so brazen as anti-customer-oriented. The little ones are counting on you to add more sugar to the small ones when you cook the porridge tomorrow. ”

"That's right." Li Jing waved his hand, sat on the sofa and began to read the news.

After washing the dishes, the news has finished broadcasting, and it is now advertising time before the weather forecast. "Have you ever heard the story of a female patient who only had smoked salmon in her dream?"

"Nope." I shook my head, what a weird story this is.

"When the patient said that he saw a fish in his dream today, I suddenly remembered it, would you like to hear it?" Li Jing used the remote control to dim the sound of the TV.

"Hmm." I nodded.

"It was a patient of Montesquieu. At that time, she spoke of her dream in order to refute Montesquieu's views. She dreamed that she was going to prepare dinner, but she only had smoked salmon in hand, and when she went to buy other ingredients, she was in time for Sunday afternoon, the shop was closed, and she called the restaurant only to have the phone disconnected. So she couldn't make dinner in the end. He used this dream to refute Montesquieu's view that 'dreams are wishes fulfilled', which should be that in the dream she did not achieve her purpose of cooking. ”

"The female patient was right, she did not fulfill her wish to make dinner in her dreams." I looked at Li Jing and I knew he would definitely contradict me.

"She just didn't fulfill the wish in the dream, but that doesn't mean that the dream doesn't show her that the wish is fulfilled." Sure enough, Li Jing retorted to me with a wicked smile.

"How?"

Montesquieu later helped the female patient to make an analysis and convinced him of his own views. Li Jing just wanted to continue, the music of the weather forecast sounded, and Li Jing turned up his voice a little higher.

"Cool down tomorrow, wear more." As soon as the weather forecast was broadcast, Li Jing turned off the TV and continued the explanation just now, "Montesquieu has been asking about the real life of the female patient. It was found that the husband of the female patient was losing weight and had mentioned that he would not go to dinner again; In addition, this female patient has a beautiful girlfriend who has always been jealous and is very thin. Fortunately, her husband likes plump women, and her jealous friend has been making herself look plump recently, and she is afraid that her husband will turn his attention to his girlfriend after he gets fat, so subconsciously this female patient hopes that his girlfriend will be angry and eat to continue to gain weight. And smoked salmon is this girlfriend's favorite dish, so she subconsciously does not make this dish, but buys other ingredients. In her dream, she set the day she would cook dinner until Sunday, when all the shops were closed and the restaurants couldn't get through the phone, so she had a reason not to go for dinner. In a sense, for him, not cooking dinner is equivalent to making his jealous girlfriend unable to eat his favorite dishes, and if he does not become plump, he can not attract the attention of his husband, so this dream is a kind of feedback to his subconscious. After analysis, the female patient agreed with Montesquieu's point of view, so you see, dreams are really a kind of fulfillment of people's realistic wishes. ”

"And what about today's patient? What does it mean when he dreams that he is eating fish in a restaurant? "Could it be because this patient has been craving fish lately?

"Do you remember when he was woken up by screams from his dreams?"

"I remember, but the two are completely unconnected." I tilted my head and thought about it for a while, but I still didn't understand.

"That's why I hesitated at the dinner table just now, and I don't think this memory is necessarily a good thing for the patient. Dishes about fish, which may be what they were eating at the time of the incident; It is also possible that the food that the person who is involved in the incident in his memory likes to eat, and he has a close relationship with this person, so there are different kinds of fish dishes. As for the scream that woke him up at the end, he didn't say that the screaming sound was familiar to him, but he could recall that it was a girl's scream, indicating that the thing he forgot should be directly related to him. Li Jing's expression is very strict every time he thinks about a problem.

Li Jing glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was almost 8 o'clock: "It's not early, I'll send you home." ”

When we were walking down the street, we talked about it again: "I just saw that your expression was very strict, did you think of something again?" ”

Li Jing rubbed his eyebrows: "It's just a little suspicious." When I asked him if he had suffered a brain trauma, I always felt that his reaction was not natural. ”

"He gave you a punch to call it natural?" I sarcastically said to him.

Li Jing rarely ignored my sarcasm: "If you just look at his reaction at the time, you can still understand it. But if combined with his previous attitude, his reaction today was abnormal. His previous reaction was relatively gentle, even when I asked him to recall whether he had some kind of dark psychology, he didn't show his aggressive behavior, but today he was just concerned about whether he had an accident, but he just slammed the door and left. This kind of behavior can only say that I touched some kind of bottom line in him and made him lose control, and this out-of-control factor is the crux of his nightmare. ”

"You're not trying to meddle in this again, are you? Explore people's ** is not good. "Knowing Li Jing's temper, I hurriedly spoke out to stop it. More importantly, if he had been involved, I would not have escaped the fate of being sent.

Li Jing said to me, I secretly said 'sure enough', and looked at him appointedly: "This chief, may I ask what you need to do for you?" ”

"I don't need it today, go home and sleep well. Don't dare to think about those who don't have it, and start waiting for dispatch at any time tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes." I saluted a non-standard salute before closing the door and saying goodnight to him.

Why should I continue this conversation with him? Remembering that it was a nightmare that I took the initiative to talk about on the road, I really had the urge to shoot myself to death.

In fact, the other person is not much better than me, and Brother Shi Hao will be howled by Li Jing at any time to help him check the information when he is lying down. Before going to bed, I swiped the circle of friends, and sure enough, I saw Shi Hao's brother complaining that Li Jing was nosy. Li Jing replied with a nose-picking expression below, and sure enough, Li Jing's EQ went up in full length.

When Li Jing sent me breakfast the next day, looking at his solemn expression, I had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

"Why are you so strong? I'm kidding you. Li Jing looked at me and laughed as if he was going to be righteous.

"I always have a bad premonition." I touched my chin, and I was so happy to have xiaolongbao for breakfast in his hand.

"Be scared of yourself. Shi Hao hasn't found out anything. Li Jing patted me on the head comfortingly.

"Oh. Then I'll go back first. "I trotted to the supermarket, I can't run slowly, it's a cold day, and the buns should be cold for a while.

At noon, my hunch became a reality, and in the morning, Shi Hao finally found out a clue. However, it is not directly related to the patient for the time being. We put the bento on the small table in the supermarket, and Li Jing looked surprised when he saw me take out the lunch box: "I really didn't expect that you would also prepare lunch for yourself." ”

"I slept a lot yesterday, but I didn't feel sleepy when I got home, because there was only chicken breast in the refrigerator, so I made a 'parent-child meal' for today's lunch. Would you like to try my craft? ”

I pushed the lunch box in front of Li Jing, and Li Jing tasted it: "It's not bad." The chicken is very tender. Li Jing praised.

"I'm still pretty good at cooking." I boasted about myself.

"Mr. Zhang, as I expected, did suffer brain trauma." Li Jing helped me put a few fried sausages in the shape of a small octopus in the lunch box. I like to eat this the most.

Because of the delicious food, I was still in a good mood: "What kind of trauma is it?" I asked, good-natured.

"Specifically, it's more like a mishap."

"Accidental injury?" I looked at Li Jing puzzled.

Shi Hao checked Mr. Zhang's medical records and found that he was hospitalized for a head injury two years ago, and the hospital diagnosed him with a severe blow to the head. But the police did not record him being attacked. So Shi Hao checked the records of other cases on the day he was admitted to the hospital, and found that there was a brawl near the hospital where he was treated, because he was not involved in the incident, but was admitted to the hospital by mistakenly injuring his head by thugs when passing by, so the police have no record of him. ”

I can't tell Mr. Zhang that he was so excited yesterday, and he was accidentally injured and hospitalized, which sounds really embarrassing.

"Isn't that the end of the matter? If you tell him about it, he'll know why he's having nightmares. Isn't your doubt opened? "I was still glad that it wasn't a big deal, but when I heard Li Jing's words later, my heart that I had just put down hung again.

"It's not as simple as you think."
