Chapter 14: The Levels of Dreams
Five days, how is this possible?
I couldn't believe my ears, I remembered what I had experienced before, as if it was just now, how could it be that five days had passed in the blink of an eye?
Seeing that I didn't believe it, the Taoist priest took out his mobile phone to show me, this guy didn't have a mobile phone, but in order to facilitate contact, plus his share of gold was all bet on me, I paid for him to buy one, which was used as an advance payment for those gold.
I only glanced at it, and suddenly there was a chill, only to see that the wallpaper on the Taoist phone's phone was replaced by a Japanese comic girl at some point, the whole screen was pink, full of girlish hearts, and I couldn't help but squeeze him: "I said, you're too fucking sullen, and if you don't know, you must be treated as a pervert." ”
The Taoist priest glared at me and said What do you know, this is the goddess of Lao Tzu, the lover of dreams, and in the future, the Taoist master will have to follow this standard when looking for a wife.
I recognize the girl on the wallpaper.,It's the heroine of an island anime.,It's called Qi.,When I first entered college, I once regarded her as my dream lover.。 I really didn't expect that a guy like a Taoist priest would also look at these, shouldn't Taoist priests devote themselves to cultivating in Taoist temples?
I could see the time, and sure enough, it was late November, and it had been almost five days since that night.
"You don't have to be surprised, Dao Ye has also seen some people who have entered the first nightmare before, and the one with the best situation has been asleep for half a year, and your situation is already good."
This was the second time the Taoist priest had mentioned this word, and I didn't understand it, so I asked, "Wait a minute, the first nightmare, what is that?" Listening to the name, could it be that there is a second weight? ”
"Of course!" When the Taoist priest saw that my lips were chapped, he got up and picked up the thermos on the bedside table and poured me a glass of water. I took the water glass, and he continued: "As far as Dao Ye knows, dreams are divided into five layers, the first is a normal dream; The second is a dream in a dream, dreaming that you woke up from a nightmare, but in fact you are still in a dream, and the third and fourth are only recorded in the classics, and the details are unknown. As for the nightmare, it is also a dream itself, but it is different from a dream, and the 'nightmare' is more like an existence that can interfere with the thinking consciousness of living beings, a special creature. ”
I was puzzled by this, and the Taoist priest explained to me in detail the different levels of dream meanings and the truth of nightmares.
Ordinary dreams are harmless to the human body, dreaming is also a normal phenomenon, appropriate dreams are also of great help to relax and relax, and the dream here is the first dream.
Sometimes, our consciousness is in a dream, but we can clearly know that we are dreaming, whether it is a spring dream or a nightmare, when we wake up, we think that we have escaped from the dream, but in fact we are still in the dream, this kind of dream, is the second dream, in short, it is the dream in the dream.
This kind of dream is very easy to paralyze people's consciousness, and the reason why we can wake up from the dream is because the consciousness only briefly enters a free state, which is a shallow state, so it is easy to be woken up, or wake up on its own. But after entering the second dream, the person's external perception will be completely closed, and the consciousness will also enter the deep illusion, because his consciousness has been deceived by the dream, and he thinks that he has returned to reality, but in fact he is still in the dream.
This kind of 'self-righteousness' is an affirmation of the state of being, just like facing a real tree, which can be seen and touched, and we do not doubt that it is illusory, and in the same way, in the second dream, we do not doubt the dream, and firmly believe that it is indeed in reality. This kind of self-affirmation is extremely terrifying, and once I die in the second dream, the consciousness will tell the body that I am dead, and the functions of the body in the reality state will fail, and the light one will be trapped in the dream forever, and the heavy one will die directly.
People in the second dream state cannot be woken up by external forces, and can only rely on their own consciousness to awaken and see through the dream. Most of the time, people in the second dream state can wake up normally after a period of time, because the organism's own biological clock function can stimulate the body and restore part of consciousness in the case of prolonged paralysis of consciousness.
The third dream realm and the fourth dream realm have risen to the height of metaphysics, and the Taoist priest said that there are only a handful of people who can enter the third dream realm even in the long river of history, such as Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and the dream is the future. In other words, everything that happens in the third dream is what will happen in the future.
As for this fourth layer, legend has it that only two people are suspected of entering, one is Zhuang Zhou of Mengdie, and the other is Wei Zheng of the Dragon King of Mengjinghe. Daomen does not have a specific definition of the fourth dream, because there is no relevant record at all, and it can only be speculated from history that the fourth dream is very likely to be related to a past life.
The fifth level is really just a speculative concept, and Buddhism also has different sayings, and there are actually only three man-made fivefold dreams, namely the past life, this life, and the next life.
It's impossible to verify exactly, but it's a dream, not a nightmare, and it's much more dangerous than the fivefold dream.
There is a folk saying that there are nine demons and one nightmare, which means that there are only demons born in the world, and they may not be able to form a nightmare, and the ferocity of the nine demons may not be as good as a nightmare, which is very revealing.
Let's not mention other nightmares for now, let's take the nightmares that invade dreams! Dreams are something that everyone has, and the five-fold dream realm is mysterious and mysterious, and the second dream realm alone makes many people die in dreams unconsciously.
And the nightmare's work made the first dream that was not dangerous become a place that was comparable to or even more terrifying than the second dream. In the first nightmare, the nightmare is formless and insubstantial, although it cannot control dreams, it can unconsciously lead people's consciousness into various dangers, and at the same time, it can also turn into all kinds of things that do not exist in dreams, trapping people.
However, the essence of the first nightmare is still a dream, and human perception still exists, as long as there is a strong enough stimulus from the outside world to target the nightmare, or the consciousness in the nightmare is firm enough, you can easily get out of the nightmare.
This kind of nightmare feeds on the constant fear and other negative emotions that people constantly generate in their dreams, and once they are entangled in it, unless there is the help of a superior person, few can test their consciousness to survive.
This is only the first nightmare, once the consciousness accidentally enters the second dream, the impact of the nightmare on people will increase infinitely, and it is really a god who has no power to return to the heavens.
The Taoist priest's explanation made my heart feel empty, my back was wet with cold sweat, and the water in the cup had been drunk by me unconsciously.
Seeing that I was covered in cold sweat, the Taoist priest patted me and said that after his observation in the past few days, he found that my grandmother was unfathomable, and with her, I didn't have to worry, just recuperate.
I was in a terrible mood, thinking about what he had just said, and at the same time remembering what had happened that night, how could I still listen to his consolation and ask him what had happened that night?
Speaking of that night, the Taoist priest's face became a little solemn, changed a glass of water for me, and said: "You kid is lucky, I just fainted that night, otherwise I will definitely scare you to death!" ”
I listened curiously, and asked him to elaborate on it.
The Taoist priest rarely didn't sell Guanzi, and talked about the events of that night: "Dao Ye heard you talk about mountain ghosts that day, and I was curious, and then I heard that I caught a black-haired monster, and I wanted to join in the fun, and by the way, I contacted your sister to have a relationship." ”
I glanced at him when I heard this, and said in my heart Sure enough, this hairy man really fell in love with Sister Bailing.
The Taoist priest smiled, and then his face turned straight, and then said: "But I didn't think about it, the two of us just arrived outside the ancestral hall, and we heard the noise inside, as if something had happened, just wanted to go in, a black shadow in the door stepped on the shoulder of the Taoist master and jumped out, the Taoist didn't see what it was, the people in the ancestral hall shouted and followed, let me catch the thing." ”
"I haven't reacted yet, the lark girl has already chased over, I thought that the thing might be the monster, and quickly chased after it, but the more I chased it, the more I felt that the situation was wrong, and the direction of the thing's escape seemed to be towards your grandmother's house. At that time, there were only you and the old man in the house, and the old man was still unconscious, and the Taoist was worried about your safety, so he quickened his pace and wanted to intercept the thing, but the fog rose at this time. ”
