The second dream I had was even more bizarre, because the Rebecca I dreamed of seemed to have an inexplicable relationship with Jessica, which could be a kind of projection of my mind and thus a dream.

Could it be that this dream is trying to tell me that Jessica is actually wearing a mask, and that she is a different person?

There is also the endless grassland in the dream, and the handsome white horse, the white horse carried me to the place where Rebecca was, and Rebecca was originally going to wait there for someone, this person didn't seem to be me, but she temporarily felt that I was more suitable, so she gave up waiting for the person she was going to wait for.

So who is the person Rebecca is waiting for, and what is the special meaning of this part of the dream?

Of course, I am not a person who is good at interpreting dreams, to be honest, I have never believed that there is any special connection between dreams and reality, but after experiencing more and more things recently, I find that I have some new feelings about the world, for myself, and about human nature, perhaps in this world the real and the unreal itself are one.

Dreams do not exist alone, dreams are actually a bridge, a special bridge between reality and our minds, and the change of dreams may also be a reflection of our minds after being influenced by reality.

Maybe from this point of view, I can figure out some things, my relationship with Jessica may not seem as simple as I thought it would be, but even so, I don't want to worry about these things anymore.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, there are no smartphones to use, no Internet to browse all kinds of information from all over the world, no places to like Twitter, Facebook, Weibo, etc., and there is no way to watch videos while flying.

The only pastime left on the plane is to listen to music or read a physical book, in fact, I have tried both pastimes, although American pop music is quite high, but sometimes it is a little too high, and it is not very suitable for people to maintain a stable psychological state.

Another way to spend time is reading a physical book, which is also a great way to do it, and in addition to some magazines, some magazines are also good choices, but the book I've read the most recently is about introducing tourist attractions all over the United States, and I always think that when I travel between cities across the United States, if we can learn more about the local attractions, then Jessica and I will be able to make more effective travel plans. After all, time is too tight for us.

If it had been me in my previous life, it would have been hard to imagine the fast-paced life I have now, with constantly going back and forth to and from various cities to play, and so many extra-game exercises, from physical training to basketball skills to technical and tactical awareness training, and in addition to finding time with Jessica to explore the mysteries left to her by her grandparents and her parents.

In fact, if I hadn't known Jessica, my life might have been completely different, but I'm glad I met Jessica, he added a touch of color to my boring life, she is really becoming more and more important to me, in addition to a kind of dependence on the state of life, it seems that there is also a psychological dependence.

I can't imagine how terrible it would be if I didn't have Jessica in my life one day.

Habit is such a terrible thing, when you are completely accustomed to life full of her, then if one day she suddenly disappears completely from your life, that sense of loss may not be able to withstand everyone, if there really is such a day, will I completely collapse?

I didn't know the answer to this question, and I really didn't want to know the answer to this question, so I picked up a book about the geography of the United States, looked at the contents intently, and gradually stopped thinking about the previous dreams and Jessica.

I didn't sleep again during the subsequent flight, on the one hand, I didn't feel too sleepy, on the other hand, I didn't want to fall asleep anymore and have these strange dreams, I felt that my head was messed up enough, every time I slept on the plane, I would have some unexplained dreams, although these dreams may be related to what happened to me and the analysis before, but there are some things that I don't want to think about anymore.

Especially considering that there will be an official competition the next day, I would like to have a good night's sleep.

Fortunately, sleeping for a while helped my brain stay awake to a certain extent, and while reading the American geography book in my hand, I noticed some problems.

What is this question, at first I just had a vague feeling, and I felt that some of the places introduced in this book seemed to be impossible to find in reality.

In fact, there have been almost 20 regular season games this season, so I've actually flown around cities across the United States many times, and some cities may not have a deep understanding or go to the local scenic spots, but every time I go, I will learn about the basic situation of the local area, so I will still leave an impression in my mind.

At this point, some of the impressions in my mind began to conflict with the information recorded in the book, and I don't know what it means, at least for the time being, to figure out the key to it.

To make sure I was right, I took a quick look at the places I'd seen before, and most of the cities I looked at were the ones I'd already been to this season.

Places like Phoenix, New York, Charlotte, Toronto, Houston, San Antonio, San Francisco, Utah Salt Lake City, and Philadelphia are just some of the cities the Lakers have played on the road this season.

When I re-examined the information about these cities in the book, I finally found out what the problem was, it turned out that many of the place names and local landmarks recorded in the book did not seem to exist in the real world.

Could it be that this book also travels from another time and space? Or was it brought over from another plane by a human from the future?

I opened the first page of the book, trying to find information about the time when the book was first printed, but to my disappointment, there seems to be no record of the exact printing time in the book, which is also quite a big doubt.

I thought about it again, I didn't buy this book, it should be Jessica, so where did she buy it? Apparently he had to wait for Jessica to wake up before asking her.

Then I took a serious look at this book, hoping to remember as much as possible the content of this book, maybe at some point in the future, the content of this book can come in handy, my intuition tells me that this book is definitely not an accident, maybe someone secretly wants us to get this book, and wants us to know some information in this book, he may not be able to communicate with us directly, so he uses this book as a medium, to convey some kind of important message to us.

But is that really the case? At the moment, it seems that this is all just my speculation, but even if it is just a guess, I am willing to put the best effort into confirming their authenticity.

On the other hand, I still have no way of knowing whether the content of this book is just inconsistent with reality, or if there are some hidden messages that have not been deciphered by me, and it seems that we will have to wait until Jessica wakes up, and her way of thinking and thinking is quite different from mine, which may help us better find the real answer.

The plane finally arrived in Boston more than an hour later, and I woke Jessica from her sleep, and when she opened her eyes and saw me, her eyes were filled with mixed emotions, which I never seemed to have seen before, could it be that she also had a very strange dream, which caused her to be emotionally wrong at this time.

I didn't ask her directly, I knew that if she wanted to tell me, she would tell me even if I didn't ask, and if she didn't want to tell me, even if I did, I might not get the answer I wanted, so I just let it be, but I should have told her about the book first.

Later, after getting off the plane, on the way to the hotel, I told Jessica about the book in my hand and the strangeness of the book, and after hearing my words, Jessica fell into a long silence, as if the book brought back some memories of her past.

"Jessica, do you remember where you bought this book? Or did you get it through some other means, or did your parents leave it for you? ”

"I tried to think about it for a long time, but to be honest, I can't remember when I bought this book, it should not be a book left to me by my parents, but I don't seem to have any memory of buying this book."

"But this book is in the bag you carry with you, could someone have slipped it into your bag while you're not looking?"

As soon as I said this, Jessica's and I both looked at each other, as if we had thought of something.

"Not to mention, this possibility really exists."

"Jessica, what do you think of?"

"I'm not sure, but do you remember when we came out of the Philadelphia Library?"

"You mean the white-bearded man who accidentally bumped into you at the time?"

"I really can't think of anyone other than him who could have the opportunity to stuff this book into my bag without noticing, but that white-bearded old man doesn't look like a time traveler with immortal powers."

"Who knows, what kind of things these humans from the future can't do, and disguising themselves as a white-bearded old man is probably just a trivial matter for them."

Jessica was silent, and seemed to acquiesce that this was the most likely scenario.

Then I had some discussions with Jessica about some of the different places in the book that are different from the real world, in fact, Jessica has been to many more American cities than I did, and with her knowledge of various cities in the United States, she has found many places in the book that are different from the real world.

However, none of these differences seem to have a particularly uniform rule to follow, of course, if this book is really from the future, then these differences are the differences between the future world and the current world, and it seems very normal that there is no law to follow.

"Jessica, now we have such a book in our hands, it seems that in Boston, I don't know what reality is different from the book, after tomorrow's game, why don't we rush to Los Angeles first, and now Boston will read more."

"There are many places of interest in Boston, the most famous of which are Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which are world-renowned top universities, as well as places like the Boston Public Library, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Science, the Kennedy Library, the Benjamin Library. Franklin bronze statue and so on, we can really take a day to take a good look in Boston, anyway, there is nothing particularly important to do when we go back to Los Angeles, those videotapes at home have always been there anyway, we can wait to watch them slowly. ”

"Indeed, the Boston Celtics are also an Eastern team, which means that we only have this one away game this season, so after tomorrow's game with the Boston Celtics, we will not go back to Los Angeles for the time being, and we will go to Boston to have a good time the day after tomorrow."

Then Jessica and I went to the hotel where we stayed, but I was not particularly sleepy at this time, maybe my brain was in a state of excitement all the way, so I seemed more awake and it was not easy to fall asleep.

So I simply went to the gym in the hotel, ready to exercise before going to bed, and then take a hot shower when I was tired of training, so that I should be able to have a pretty good quality of sleep.

The hotel's fitness is also open overnight, in fact, many hotel facilities in the United States are open overnight, such as gyms, swimming pools, bars, etc.

Of course, I could have chosen to go to the bar with Jessica for a drink or two, but I think I should be more disciplined and not be able to drink too often, and I haven't been doing much systematic physical and strength training in recent times, so tonight is a good time for me to exercise my arms.

However, the hotel where Jessica and I stayed is not very large, so the equipment of the gym is not very complete, at least compared to the gym in the Staples Arena, it is too far away, but fortunately, I am not actually prepared to practice too much, just do some strength training properly, if you are too tired, it is not conducive to tomorrow's game, after all, today just ended the game with the Philadelphia 76ers, in this game my consumption is not small.

So in fact, I didn't do strength training directly, but ran on the treadmill for 20 minutes, but I did a whole body muscle stretching exercise, which is a very critical part, the fatigue of the previous race will accumulate quickly, and generally after 18 to 24 hours the soreness will reach its peak, stretching can effectively help the muscles release the harmful substances accumulated in it, speed up blood circulation and the overall recovery speed of the muscles.

Half an hour had passed since I was done, and in the end I had less than fifteen minutes to do some full-body strength training, including comprehensive strength training for the arms, back, legs, waist and abdomen.

My strength training has always been holistic, because I know that if I focus on one place for strength training, not only will it not achieve the desired results, but it will lead to an imbalance in muscle strength, which will increase the chance of injury during exercise.

Time always feels very fast when I work out, and it was already past 12 o'clock in the morning, so I decided not to practice anymore, and then went to take a hot shower and went back to sleep.

When I returned to the room, I found that Jessica had fallen asleep, and looking at her sweet sleeping appearance, I couldn't help but go up and kiss Jessica on the forehead, and then fell into a deep sleep.

I slept very well every time I went to bed after strength training, and this quality sleep helped me to recover my body and mind to the best condition, and it was really important for me to stay in this state.

Jessica and I can still take some time to visit Boston during the day, but we haven't thought about where we should go on our first stop when we come to Boston.

Several important places in Boston mentioned by Jessica yesterday, such as MIT and Harvard University, as well as the Boston Public Library, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Science in Boston, and the Kennedy Library, can all be considered to visit.

When I mentioned the library, I couldn't help but think of my previous experiences in the Free Library in Philadelphia, the mysterious archives and the strange events recorded in them, the four experiments in the desert that Sir Faustin presided over, and what the final results of these four experiments were that most likely came from four parallel worlds, and what Sir Faustin wanted to gain from these experiments, is still a mystery.

Jessica and I can also go to the Boston Library and the Kennedy Library, but we can also choose to go to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston or the Museum of Science in Boston today to see the artwork or learn about cutting-edge technology, and then tomorrow we can go to the Boston Public Library or the Kennedy Library to check out the materials, or tomorrow we can go to both libraries.

Since you're here, don't let any of them go!

After Jessica got up, we discussed it a little and decided that we would go to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston this morning, which was a rare opportunity to enjoy the artworks, which was just a good time for us to get rid of other worries and completely immerse ourselves in the ocean of art.

It wasn't half past eight in the morning when we left, and it should have just opened when we arrived at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

The entrance to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is a beautiful colonnaded portico, and when you enter, you can see a pair of bronze sculptures of baby heads, one with one eyes open and the other closed.

Jessica and I were blown away by the sheer size of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and a description of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, including its predecessor and the time of its current construction, was written at the entrance.

The above shows that the museum was officially opened to the public on November 15, 1909, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston was not originally built in this place, but the introduction shows that the original venue was opened in Copley Square on July 4, 1876, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

Jessica and I were the first to come to the sign that showed the overall distribution of the entire Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, which was undoubtedly a huge art palace, and Jessica and I had a very limited time, so it was necessary to know the distribution of the venues in advance.

The sign shows that the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has 178 exhibition rooms in nine departments: American decorative arts and sculpture, Asian art, classical art, Egyptian and ancient Near Eastern art, European decorative arts and sculpture, painting arts, printing, drawings and photographs, textiles, and 20th century art.

Among them, the largest collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is still from Asia, with bronzes, ceramics, paintings, calligraphy, textiles, sculptures from China, Japan, Korea and other countries being the main components of the collection.

On the one hand, the largest and most complete collection in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is from Asia, and on the other hand, Jessica is also very interested in Asian culture, not to mention that I am from an ancient cultural country with a very long history in eastern Asia.

I can say that I have a deep sense of intimacy with these collections, but I also feel a little pity, after all, I think that the United States can have a museum with so many and such perfect collections of oriental art, and the motherland in the previous life really can't find too many museums of this scale.

But now I don't think about that much anymore, after all, it's a matter of my previous life, and it's no longer what I should think about and care about now.

I came here for only one purpose, that is, to appreciate these works of art, as the so-called art has no borders, they belong to the common wealth of all mankind, so no matter which country they appear in, as long as the people of this country know how to appreciate and protect them, and their appearance in the United States can also better spread Asian culture.

The United States itself is a country of immigrants, so their cultural tolerance is very good, no matter where in the world the cultural treasures can be well protected and appreciated in this land, which is actually very positive, this is a very important point, it is this great inclusiveness, can give birth to such a great art museum.

Jessica and I walked in the huge venues, feeling the history and cultural heritage exuded by these cultural treasures, in fact, in the basement of Jessica's home, when I saw those exquisite historical relics, I would feel a sense of piety from the bottom of my heart, that is a kind of respect for time, time has changed everything, but it can't change the glorious culture and wisdom left by our human beings in the long river of history.

One day all of us may be wiped out, but the cultural heritage created by our human beings will not wither, they will still exist on this earth, and they bear witness to the superb artistic talent of generations of outstanding human artists.

In each of the museum's venues, there will be special people who will explain the visitors, some of them are the staff of the museum, some are volunteers and spontaneous organizations, and their presence also makes it easier for visitors to understand these exquisite cultural relics, understand the cultural heritage behind these cultural relics, and those moving stories that have been touching.

In fact, every artwork is a book, a collection of stories, but the way to record these stories is not only words, but also may be carried out in another form, such as a large number of sculptures in the classical era and the Middle Ages in Europe, they use different sculpture postures and sculpture materials to record the humanities and production technology at that time, so that people can see the leopard through this small art tube, and see the appearance of that era.

Because the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is so big, Jessica and I couldn't take a closer look at all the venues, and at first we would stop a little bit to look at the artworks, and even listen to the staff's explanations of the artworks, but then time passed so fast that we had to speed up the pace of progress, and we wanted to visit most of the important venues at least today.

Jessica and I spent the longest time in the Asia Pavilion, which has a large collection of paintings, calligraphy, ceramics, bronzes, jades, coins, precious stones, gold and silver and other historical artifacts from Asia, and many of them are said to be unique in the world and priceless.

The value of paintings, calligraphy and porcelain has always been very incalculable, even the world's most powerful and authoritative appraisal institutions and appraisers, in fact, it is difficult to judge the true value of these historical inheritance of out-of-print treasures, and it is for this reason that in various auctions, these calligraphy, paintings and ceramics always have the opportunity to fetch a very amazing price.

But to be honest, to appreciate these priceless calligraphy, painting and ceramic treasures do require quite a deep historical and cultural literacy, although Jessica and I both like these calligraphy, painting and ceramic artworks very much, but after all, it seems a bit like Ye Gong Haolong, for these precious cultural relics behind the history and culture do not know much, even after listening to the on-site explanation, there is still no way to fully understand the true value.

However, as the so-called don't understand just ask, there is nothing wrong with being modest and studious, there are so many cultural collections in this world, and it is impossible for anyone to be able to understand them all, so it is not ashamed to say that I don't know the things behind these paintings, calligraphy and ceramics, the real purpose of our coming here is actually to feel the breath of these cultural relics, be influenced by them, and improve our own artistic and cultural accomplishment, which is very helpful for me and Jessica to go around the world to understand these cultural relics in the future.

After visiting the Asia Pavilion for a long time, Jessica and I went to the European Pavilion, where the number of artifacts is much smaller than that of the Asian Pavilion, and most of the artifacts are in the form of sculptures and paintings.

There are really many works left by world-class sculpture and painting masters, and after viewing the Asian Pavilion and then admiring the European Pavilion, Jessica and I can clearly understand that in the long history of ancient times, the style of Asian painting is completely different from that of Europe.

Most of the paintings in Asia are depicting people, landscapes and some animals, and some are depicting life scenes, the style of painting is more elegant, freehand and gives people enough imagination space, and the emphasis is on the rendering and shaping of artistic conception.

Even a large number of paintings describing ancient mythological and religious scenes are painted strictly in accordance with the proportions of real people, and relatively speaking, European paintings attach more importance to perspective, but the use of color will appear more vivid and heavy, lacking a hazy beauty in oriental paintings, but it also has a special heavy texture.

The landscape painting in Oriental painting is also significantly different from the scene painting in the West, the landscape painting in the East gives people a strong sense of layering, and the primary and secondary will be more distinct, while the Western landscape painting is more inclined to the real restoration of the scene in this regard, and it will be less difficult to distinguish the primary and secondary relationship in the painting.

Of course, whether it is Asian painting or European painting, each has its own unique charm, and at the same time, it can also reflect the differences between the personality characteristics of Orientals and Westerners to a certain extent.

Of course, I won't go into more depth here.

Jessica and I went to the Africa Pavilion after a brief visit to the European Pavilion, in fact, Africa also has some very ancient and very powerful civilizations, among which ancient Egypt is the most typical representative.

Jessica and I are also very interested in the culture of ancient Egypt, especially the legends related to the pyramids, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has a large collection of stone tablets engraved with hieroglyphs from ancient Egypt, some of which may be three or four thousand years old.

As for hieroglyphs, to be honest, Jessica really knows a thing or two about this, and when we went to Sir Faustin's estate for the third time, we were impressed by the ancient hieroglyphs we saw in that old building, in that mysterious hall.

Jessica and I didn't see any relics of the ancient Celtic civilization when we were in the European Pavilion before, perhaps because the cultural inheritance of the ancient Celts was really not good enough, and their civilization was a long time ago, and ancient civilizations like ancient Egypt were much better than they did in cultural inheritance, although they were also extremely old.

There are also some ancient mummies and pharaonic tombs in the venue, but most of them are not very complete, basically some quite fragmentary collections, I know that the history museum that stores the most ancient Egyptian artifacts in the world is the British Museum, and in the United States, there are not many museums with collections about ancient Egypt, so these fragmentary ancient Egyptian collections here are also extremely precious.

One of the hooked scepters of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs caught Jessica's attention as Jessica and I both felt that the scepter representing the power of the pharaoh seemed quite familiar.

If I was the only one who thought so, I might have thought it was my own memory that was wrong, but even Jessica said so, then there was probably only one, and Jessica and I had indeed seen a similar scepter or scepter pattern somewhere.

However, as Jessica and I scratched our heads and thought about it, we found that we couldn't remember where we had seen a similar scepter.

Because you can't take pictures at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Jessica and I couldn't take pictures of the Pharaoh's scepter, but fortunately, Jessica had an idea at this time, and actually took out the small notebook she carried with her and sketched it with a pen.

Of course, the main object of this sketch is the hook-shaped scepter of the pharaoh from ancient Egypt thousands of years ago.

I found Jessica to draw quite carefully, not at all like a sketch, more like a sketch, she drew most of the details on the pharaoh's scepter very carefully, and I couldn't help but marvel at Jessica's good drawing skills.

Jessica spent a lot of time painting the scepter of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, and it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning, and Jessica and I were going to go to the American Pavilion again, after all, many American cultural products still need to be learned there.

However, the entire history of the founding of the United States is only more than 200 years, and if you count the cultural objects brought by the colonial countries in the previous history, they are only a few hundred years old, and before that, it is the cultural history of the Indians in the Americas.

But to be honest, although the United States is always saying that it is a free, democratic, and equal country, there is actually a relatively serious problem of racial discrimination, of course, in recent years, this situation has actually improved dramatically, whether it is black, Asian or Indian, the social status has been greatly improved, in general, this is a good development trend.

However, in history, there is no such harmony between the various ethnic groups in the United States, and we can see a large number of cultural works from that period in this Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and these cultural works also reflect the background of the time, it was an era full of bloody conflicts, and even in the museum, there are many quite terrible historical objects, they are like a special book, which truly records the situation of that era. Let future generations know this true and bloody history.

Jessica and I once again caught Jessica's attention with an Indian doll about the Indian voodoo arts, and the staff at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, told the story behind this seemingly inconspicuous voodoo doll.

It seems that because of her own real experience, Jessica is very interested in this voodoo doll and the story behind it, I know that she wants to know if there really is something like voodoo and magic in this world, in fact, she has encountered very strange things when she was seeking help from psychic mediums before, maybe it is because of that incident that Jessica has such an ambivalent psychological state.

According to the staff of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the history of this tattered voodoo doll can be traced back to at least 300 years ago, when the United States had not yet established a federal republic through the Revolutionary War, and the United States still had thirteen colonies on its territory, and Britain maintained long-term high-pressure rule over these colonies.

Before the Americans rebelled against Britain and other colonial powers to establish the United States, the Indians who originally belonged to the owners of this land had launched countless rebellions, but in fact, it was not the colonists' strong ships and cannons that defeated these Indians at the beginning, but some terrible viruses that could not be seen or touched.

Europe has always been a very dirty place in the Middle Ages, and most European countries have extremely poor hygiene, so it has also caused a large number of terrible and deadly plagues, these plague viruses also followed the colonists to the new continent of America, and soon these terrible viruses launched a cruel persecution of the original inhabitants of the American continent.

Because the indigenous people such as the Indians were completely incapable of resisting the foreign virus, which led to a terrible plague epidemic, the vast majority of the dead Indians died from the infection of the foreign virus, which helped the colonists defeat the Indians, seize their land, and turn them into their own slaves.

And this voodoo doll was created in the context of that era.
