Volume 1: Yuan Pu Anthology A "strange dream" that I once had repeatedly

Dreams are the uninhibited manifestation of everyday desires or fears during sleep.

Sigmund Freud, the famous Austrian psychiatrist and founder of the psychoanalytic school, once said: "Dreams are the things that are raised into consciousness by the suppressed subconscious." ”

As for the repeated dreaming, it means that the dreamer has a problem in his mind that has not been solved, and the term in psychology is called 'complex', which is commonly known as 'heart knot'.

Dreams do not reflect specific things, but only express certain emotions and thoughts in one's heart. What this complex is is directly related to the theme and mood of the same dream.

Having the same dream has a lot to do with it, as the saying goes: if you think, you dream at night. Therefore, having the same dream may have a great deal to do with something that the dreamer thinks about in his daily life.

Of course, having the same dream repeatedly sometimes has a lot to do with a special episode of the dreamer's childhood, or a special stimulus that the dreamer has received.

That is to say, the dreamer may have been too young to recall the past normally, but in fact, those circumstances at that time had already left some vague and profound imprints in the dreamer's heart, and then they were naturally presented in the dreamer's dreams and repeated interpretations.

I'm going to talk about a strange dream that I've had repeatedly.

There seems to be a deep valley in the middle of the mountains, and the vegetation in the valley is also very good, a bit similar to a large canyon I have been to in reality.

I seem to walk through the valley every time, and there are two very obvious places at the entrance of the valley: on the left is a bunker-like building, and it looks very much like a lime kiln abandoned in modern times, which looks very tall anyway; On the right is supposed to be an abandoned old quarry, which is also quite large.

After entering from here, it seems that you have to walk a long, long distance, and finally* enter the heart of the mountains. There I will see a small pattern of 'three mountains sandwiched by one end', of course, I named it at random based on my own knowledge.

To put it bluntly, there is a relatively tall hill on the north and east and west sides of that place, and a slightly smaller hill on the south side of it, and the rest of the surrounding places are mostly low valleys and flats as buffers.

And the place in the middle to the north happens to be a raised platform of the four mountain arches. The platform runs roughly north-south, and at first glance it appears to be quite rounded, with some resemblance to the traditional altar. In particular, around it, the mountains and sanitation are scattered, and it also has the air of a king of the stars.

Every time I arrive at that place after the clouds and mountains are covered in fog, I can always see a small temple that looks like a very quaint from a distance, but I can only see it from a distance.

But once I got closer, the little temple was gone, so I never knew what it was.

I didn't even know if it was real or just an illusion, so I had been waking up for so long, but I really couldn't remember what it really was.

And every time I walked near the small temple, I would suddenly find a hole that appeared out of thin air, but the place where the hole appeared was different every time, and even the shape and size were different, as if it was randomly formed.

However, every time I entered the hole, it was more or less the same, first of all, it was a long downward passage, a bit like a tombway, the slope was about thirty or forty degrees, and it didn't feel very steep anyway.

That passage really looked like a tombway, and it was the kind of tomb passage with a patio, which should have the appearance of about three or four patios. It's just that the passage feels very wide, and it is relatively tall and spacious, and it looks a bit like the current subway downwalk.

Every time I descended, it was dim at first, and even a section in the middle could be said to be pitch black, but when I reached the end, it suddenly became brighter, as if there was some special lighting equipment.

Further down, you will see a pool of water that seems to be extremely deep, and the color of the water inside is also very strange, like an extremely deep dark green.

However, every time I walked to the waterhole, I would walk down the tomb without hesitation, without even thinking about it.

What is even more unimaginable is that every time my body comes into contact with those dark green pools, they will naturally retreat in all directions, making way for me to make a strange space.

It seemed like I had some legendary water dividing pill on my body, and even I didn't know what was going on, and my mind felt like it was stagnant, and my brain was blank.

I walked down like that, and I didn't know how long I had walked, when I suddenly found that I had crossed over, and suddenly returned to the surface from the depths of the earth.

At this time, I suddenly found that there seemed to be a temple hall in the distance in front of me, and there were some thick incense candles burning in the big ding in front of the door, and there were some pedestrians coming and going around the bustling, and I didn't know if they were pious pilgrims or simple tourists.

It's just very strange that they don't seem to pay attention to my existence, and even someone hits me straight at me from time to time, but fortunately I seem to be very good at light body, and I can easily avoid it every time.

What's even stranger is that as soon as I actually get to the front of the main hall, the hall and the pedestrians who come and go suddenly disappear, leaving only an empty wasteland.

However, at this moment, not far behind this wasteland, there were three brick-topped tombs that were exposed on the surface, which looked like the tomb style of the Ming Dynasty from a distance.

As I continued to walk closer to the three tombs, this time there was no more disappearance out of thin air, and it was really three ancient tombs juxtaposed with east and west.

When I looked closely, I found that the middle of them was larger, and the east and west sides were slightly smaller, but the tomb door was no longer there, leaving only the black hole of the burial chamber.

When I walked in, the ancient tomb in the west was still relatively regular, it was a standard front and rear double tomb structure, and the whole tomb was empty and there was nothing in it, and it was estimated that it had been repeatedly visited by tomb robbers many times in ancient times.

The ancient tomb in the east is a little different, although it is also the same front and back double burial chambers, but the burial chamber behind it has almost completely collapsed, and even a lot of broken blue bricks and soil have poured into the front burial chamber.

Finally, the ancient tomb in the middle is the most peculiar, although it is also the structure of the front and rear double tombs, and there is nothing in it for a long time, but in the northwest corner of its back room, there is an oval hole, in our words, it should definitely be a thief hole.

Whenever I see that oval-shaped thief hole, I can't help but go straight into it.

However, as soon as I really got into it, I suddenly found that I had entered another time and space tunnel like a science fiction film and television drama, and suddenly I had crossed into a new environment again.

In front of my eyes, there will be a situation like a large scenic spot, the entire periphery of the scenic area is the kind of fence more than two meters high, and there seem to be several barbed wire fences on top of the wall.

Not far from me, there was a very imposing gate, and on either side of the gate there were a pair of majestic lions, and there were some uniformed security guards and staff at the door, everything seemed like that.

It's just very strange that I don't seem to see any other visitors other than their own personnel, which is very different from what I saw in the front hall.

And, for some reason, every time I approached the gate, the security guards rushed over to chase me away, and I even seemed to hear some large dogs barking, but I couldn't see where the big dogs were.

What's even more incredible is that I seem to be very vulnerable in front of them, and they can easily drive me away with a random person.

At the time, even if I tried my best, it didn't seem to help.

I even felt like a five- or six-year-old urchin in front of them, and no matter how I punched and kicked me, or used an offensive weapon such as a rock, they could send me away with a slight wave of my hand.

What's even more bizarre is that no matter how desperately I tried to argue with them at that time, or shout at them angrily, I could only scream and scream in my heart, and I couldn't even make a single sound out of my mouth.

To be honest, when I encounter that situation, sometimes I even wake up screaming from my dreams.

When I saw that I couldn't get in through the gate, I looked around the surrounding wall to see if there was any place to climb over it.

Sure enough, on the west side of the scenic spot, there was a barbed wire fence on the fence that seemed to have been deliberately destroyed, and a gap of about one meter appeared.

And this place is relatively remote, like a chain of corners, which usually doesn't attract much attention, so I climbed into this place.

It's strange to say, don't look at the gate, I seem to be a naughty boy with no skills at all, but once I get to this place, I feel like I'm back to normal.

With a slight push on this two-meter-high wall, I jumped to the top of the wall without the slightest effort, which is strange.

Moreover, after I jumped, it was like a no-man's land, and I could run freely through it. Even when I occasionally encountered patrolling security guards, I would take them down as soon as I made a move, and it was like a joke.

In addition, this scenic spot is like the Suzhou garden in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes people shine, you can see pavilions and pavilions everywhere carved beams and painted buildings, winding paths and secluded places, since there is that ingenious rockery bamboo forest and small bridges and flowing water complement each other.

It's just very strange that there is no one else in this except for those security guards who patrol by from time to time.

Even the current security guards seem to have become like mechanical moving puppets, and even if I rush up and attack one or two of them, the others don't even seem to see it.

After I sneaked up on the patrolling security guards a few times in a row, I was able to take a bad breath of my own, and when I saw them like papier-mâché puppets again, I stopped retaliating.

That's when I started wandering around aimlessly, thinking about what the hell I wanted to see what weird place it was.

But when I visited almost the entire scenic area, it seemed that I still found nothing, just like playing in an ordinary Suzhou garden, but the tourists here seemed to be the only one.

In addition, I was soon surprised to find that the security guards who had been knocked down by me just now, I don't know why, they were all back to normal.

Even when we were face to face again, they didn't pay any attention to me, as if nothing had happened, or in their eyes, I didn't exist at all.

So I deliberately chased after him, knocked down the last one, and after a while, he stood up as if nothing happened, and he went straight to the front of his teammates and continued to walk forward.

Just when I was puzzled, I suddenly felt my feet jerk into the air, and before I could react, I fell straight down.

I must have passed out after falling all at once. When I woke up again, I found myself in a huge space, and to be honest, I didn't know if it was an underground cavern or something else.

I still don't understand this question, because it stands to reason that I should have fallen from above the ground, and it should have been underground. But when I look at the specific situation in it, I don't feel very similar, because the place is too big, and it is extremely luxurious and fragrant, and it looks more like a luxury club of some local tyrant.

When I calmed down a little and looked carefully, I found that this huge space seemed to run north-south, and I was probably in the southernmost position.

There are indeed a lot of people in it, and most of them are beautiful young girls, and of course there are some men who occasionally walk through them.

It's just that these people seem to be blind to me, as if I'm transparent.

That's not all, although these people are moving freely like normal people, none of them make any sound, and the whole space is quiet and scary.

I tried screaming a few times, and although I felt like I was making a normal sound, I heard a little noise.

In this way, it is as if some strange sound-canceling device has been specially installed in the whole space, and any sound is eliminated here out of thin air.

I tried to intercept a few of the men inside, but as soon as I actually got close to them and 'touched' them with my hands, they suddenly dissolved into air and mysteriously disappeared.

After I failed to intercept those men, I tried to intercept a few more beautiful women, but the result was exactly the same. And I was soon amazed to find that as long as I had 'touched' them with my hands, whether male or female, they could no longer be found.

So I simply didn't care about 3721, rushed forward and began to intercept and 'touch' them one by one, and sure enough, it didn't take long for me to be the only one left in this huge space.

After all these people were finally 'wiped out' by me, in this huge space, four large circular pools appeared out of thin air, arranged in order from south to north.

Each large pool is three or four hundred square meters, like those luxurious dance floors, but the space inside them is slowly rising by itself, and finally forming four circular platforms that are almost one person high.

Not only that, but on top of these four circular platforms, there were many different things that appeared out of thin air.

When they finally stabilized, I cautiously tried to look at them one by one, and I didn't dare to touch them easily, lest I touch them again and disappear into thin air before I could see them clearly.

The first platform resembles an oversized wine table, and in the middle of it is piled up with a variety of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and what is especially amazing is that the perimeter of this platform is like a deep groove, filled with fragrant wine.

The second platform is like a luxurious stage, on which there are countless beauties squatting, standing, lying, or lying, and I was surprised to find that some of the beauties who had disappeared just now had reappeared in it.

The third platform is even more powerful, it is actually piled up with countless gold, silver and jewelry, it really looks like a huge mountain of gold and silver.

It's just that this fourth platform makes me a little confused, there is nothing on it.

When I was about to look back at the back after looking at each other, I suddenly noticed that something seemed to have moved.

Before I could come to my senses, I saw that the things on the four platforms behind me were all rushing towards me like a sandstorm as if they had been swept by a super typhoon.

At this time, no matter how crazy I ran and screamed, and struggled desperately, it was to no avail, it could only be little by little, overwhelmed by more and more heavy things, and it became more and more difficult to breathe, but I couldn't die for a while.

In that time of extreme despair, although my mind was blank, I felt like my head was expanding and expanding......"

Every time this happens, I wake up violently. Even when I wake up, I find myself covered in cold sweat and even my pajamas are soaked.

It didn't seem like I woke up all at once, but I subconsciously went through a real struggle to finally get out of that horrible dream.

Afterwards, I myself had a bold guess that maybe the four big platforms I saw at the end corresponded to the cliché four precepts.

Exactly: the fragrance of wine is overwhelming, the color is full of ecstasy, the wealth is obsessed, and the country is broken.

As the saying goes: wine is the poison that breaks the intestines, and color is the root and seedling of trouble; Wealth is a tiger descending from the mountain, and qi is a steel knife that kills.

Speaking of which, I will say by the way that the ancients had the most classic witty anecdote on "wine and wealth".

It is said that Su Dongpo, the great writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, once went to the Great Xiangguo Temple to visit his friend Yuan (that is, the Buddha seal monk), but unfortunately the Yuan happened to go out at that time, so the presiding monk invited Su Dongpo to the meditation room to rest temporarily, and specially served fragrant tea, wine and vegetarian food.

At that time, Su Dongpo was thinking alone, and he didn't feel a little drunk, and when he looked up by chance, he saw a poem with a new title on the powder wall, which was: There are four walls of wine-colored wealth and wealth, and everyone is hiding in it; Who can jump out of the circle, not live a hundred years and live a long life.

Su Dongpo saw that although this poem was written quite philosophically, he always felt that the four major ones were empty, and the Zen flavor was too strong. Isn't the key to mastering a 'degree'?

So he improvised on the right side of the Yuan title poem and put up a poem "Poems of Zen Master and Buddha Yin". Shiyun: Drinking is not drunk is heroic, and love is not the highest; Ill-gotten gains are not desirable, and anger is not self-defeating.

It was also a coincidence, the next day, Song Shenzong Zhao Zuo, accompanied by Wang Anshi, also came to the Great Xiangguo Temple for leisure, Song Shenzong after reading the Buddha seal and Su Dongpo's inscription, felt very interesting, so he smiled and said to Wang Anshi: 'Aiqing, why don't you and a song'.

After Wang Anshi heard it, he groaned slightly, and then on the left side of the Yuan inscription, titled "Yihe Buddha Yin Zen Master Poem". The poem says: No wine is no etiquette, and no colorless road is sparsely populated; If there is no wealth, the people will not work hard, and the country will have no vitality.

At that time, after Song Shenzong saw it, he was very happy, and secretly praised Wang Anshi for being able to adapt to the situation and be clever, so he also took advantage of Xinghe and a poem, and his poem cloud: Wine helps the music club Jikang, and the color education of the soul is normal; Wealth is abundant, the family is prosperous, and the qi condenses Taiji to determine yin and yang.
