Chapter 38 of the Year of Tranquility
Some dreams are like being in front of you, and you wake up without knowing whether you are a guest or a dream. Ya once had a long dream, it was a quiet mountainous area, a dream of a famous school is located in it, Ya practiced hard day and night, painted a large landscape light ink paintings and thick color oil paintings, and finally entered the school without any suspense.
She also studied other courses on her own and earned more than one degree certificate. After waking up for a long time, Ya was still in a dream, and the sense of urgency in the dream was really entangled in her heart. Such dreams occur many times, why do they occur? Is it because of the desire in my heart that I have always refused to give up? Painting is a hobby that Ya has been entangled all her life since she was a child, but it is a pity that she did not continue her studies back then. Those certificates obtained in dreams are actually obtained in reality, but why do they appear in dreams again and again? Ya had a strong thirst for knowledge when she was a teenager, did she think that if she had seized the time to study like that, she might have realized her dream, and she would not have sighed for nothing today.
Sleep takes up almost one-third of a person's life. And in one-third of your sleep, you will spend a full 6 years dreaming (if you live to be 75 years old).
In dreams, some people think of interesting things and have an opinion about the problem they are facing
It's easy for us to have bad dreams because of the unpleasantness of our lives.
Dreams that can be controlled are often referred to as lucid dreams. Most people only remember about 10% of their dreams. Animals may also dream.
Dreams are symbolic, and Parker's "Complete Book of Dream Interpretation" uses some interesting expressions to explain dreams, such as saying that every dream comes from its own message.
Many dreams are very common. In many cultures, some of the most common dreams are being chased, attacked, or falling, repeating the same action over and over again, or being overwhelmed by fear, being late, and so on.
Male and female dreams are not the same. About 70% of the time men have other men in their dreams. However, in women's dreams, the proportion of males and females appearing is the same. Other males who appear in the male's dreams are usually strangers and aggressive; In women's dreams, the people they know are the main ones.
In dreams, we will only see faces that we have seen before. It turns out that the strangers in your dreams, they are actually the real faces you see in real life. Because our minds aren't good at creating new faces. So, some of those strangers who helped you open the door years ago may have appeared in your dreams.
Dreams are good for your creativity. Some experts feel that dreams have no meaning at all, while others believe that dreams are especially important for our emotional, mental, and physical health. But in any case, it is good for your creativity.
When dreaming, the brain is more active than when awake. You might think that everyone is resting at night, but in reality your brain is more active when you're asleep than when you're awake.
In your dreams you will experience sleep paralysis. One of the most interesting aspects of REM sleep is the combination of paralysis and dreaming. If you are chased in your dream, run away. At this time, the body is immobile, that is, your body does not realize the running behavior in the dream, but is actually the protective mechanism of the brain.
The brain can incorporate reality into dreams. If you are dreaming and something else happens around you, such as someone in a hole, you may start dreaming of getting a tooth filling at the dentist. Your brain can rationalize irrelevant things in your dreams.
Color TV gives color to your dreams. In studies conducted between 1915 and 1950, researchers found that the vast majority of people had dreams in black and white. But from 1960 onwards, everything was different, and people slowly began to appear in colorful dreams. Scientists believe that it may be because the invention of the color television set brought about the dream of color.
Before his son was two or three years old, he was afraid that he would wet the bed at night, so Ya always got up once or twice at night and carried him to the bathroom to pee. She slapped his little ass with one hand as she made a "shh I don't know which nerve is manipulating this.
Later, Ya found out that her son would get up in the middle of the night and go to the bathroom by himself. couldn't help but be overjoyed, so that she didn't have to worry about whether her son would wet the bed in a hazy sleep. After her son would get up in the middle of the night to pee on his own, she found that his son would also take a bath on his own. He could stay in the bathroom by himself for a long time, and when he called him out, he always said, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
But after a while, Ya found that her son had changed. In the evening, when the son wanted to go to the bathroom, he told Ya that he was scared and that he would not dare to enter until Ya stood outside the door. Let him go to the shower, he also said that he was afraid. Ya asked him what he was afraid of, and he said that there were ghost dolls in the bathroom. There was no way, Ya had to wash him.
One night, Ya heard her daughter say to her son in an exaggerated voice, "...... There is a ghost doll in the toilet hole, and when you go to the toilet, she will reach out and grab you in and eat it. There are also ghost dolls in the mirror, and she will catch you in the mirror when you take a bath...... "My daughter and son sometimes watch horror movies with their mobile phones, and the scary images and music may have entered my son's mind." The daughter made up ghost stories for him in various ways, and whenever the active son was very quiet and obedient to his daughter's words.
Ya said to her daughter more than once, "Don't scare your brother. The younger brother is too young, scared to have nightmares, and will not grow taller. The daughter smiled and said, "Our teacher said that there are no ghosts in the world at all, and ghosts are all made up by people." ”
Ya said, "Then why are you scaring my brother?" The daughter said, "When he annoys me, I tell ghost stories."
Once her daughter took a comic book to tell her brother a story, maybe there were words in it that she didn't recognize, so she simply made up the comic story into a ghost story, and Ya heard her say, "...... Xiao Ming was so frightened that he got under the bed, and when he looked up, he saw that a ghost doll with his head upside down was looking at him...... "Ya is funny that her daughter is making things up, but her son takes it seriously, and he said to Ya that there is a kind of ghost doll that grows upside down, with its feet up and head down...... Ya said: "That's my sister scared you, she made it up." ”
But the son seems to believe his sister's words more. When his sister was annoyed with him, she would say at any time where the ghost doll was, and the younger brother immediately stopped crying.
Whether there are ghosts in the world, no one knows. Even if people hear too many ghost stories, they may be in a state of half-belief. When I was a child, on summer evenings, the sky was full of stars, and the neighbors always liked to sit on the side of the road in front of their homes with their fans and chat. The most talked about are ghost stories. And they substitute themselves into the story, and the exaggerated tone and thrilling plot often make Yashin think it is true.
Whenever she listened to ghost stories, Ya would meet the ghosts of her neighbors in her dreams, and those ghosts would chase her, and she would run and scream in fright, until the adults woke her up, and she was still terrified. Some episodes even appear repeatedly, so that Ya can't tell whether it's true or false when she becomes an adult.
Ya and her sister had the same dream, and until last year, my sister told her aunt that Grandma had an empty house with a lot of puppets in it, and her eyes would be staring at you. My sister has mentioned this dream to Ya more than once since she was a child. Yaya also dreamed that she and her sister went to see a singing opera, and when they came back, there was a river blocking the way, and there was a house next to the river. Ya and her sister ran away when they saw the puppet staring at them rolling their eyes, but they were blocked by the river. There wasn't that much water in that river. Ya remembers that in the end it was the aunt who came to rescue them, and the aunt carried them across the river.
When my sister mentioned the puppet house to my aunt again, my aunt said that there was no such house. When I was a child, I didn't know whether it was true or false when I grew up.
Later, when I went to elementary school, my teacher said that there were no ghosts in the world. At that age, the teacher's words were the most credible. Even after graduating from junior high school, Ya still believes that teachers are the most perfect people. She even wrote in her composition: "The teacher is the embodiment of all the good things in the world. The teacher once wrote a comment: "Don't be too simple."
Because the teacher said that there are no ghosts in the world, the days when ghosts no longer sleep after a few years of evil. One night in the fifth grade, Ya was reading a novel, and the rain was pouring out the window, with thunder in between. Ya happened to see the same scene described in the novel as this night: at midnight, it was pouring rain, a thunderbolt flashed across the night sky, the wind lifted the curtains, a bloody man appeared in front of the window, and the protagonist of the novel screamed and fainted...... The most imaginative thing in the world is the words, and when Ya saw them, the curtains of her house were also floating wildly, and it was pitch black outside the window, but she really felt as if there was also a bloody person standing outside the dark window......
It's the middle of the night, Ya doesn't look at the curtains, she doesn't read a book, she only feels that her scalp is tight, her heart is pounding, and her family has fallen asleep. With difficulty, she moved from her desk to the bed, burrowing into the bed and covering her head...... That image has been in Ya's mind for at least a year.
Depicting realistic ghost stories, performing real ghost movies always has the power of horror. In the early years, Ya saw a ghost film, and one of its fragments still has heart palpitations: a man who does not believe in ghosts and gods found that he forgot to bring a tissue paper after entering the toilet, and then a miserable white slender hand reached in, and there was a roll of paper on it, but there was no human figure, and the man was so frightened that he ran away. I don't know if the music is too scary, or the picture is too gloomy, Ya didn't dare to go to the toilet alone at night for a long time after that.
The closest realistic ghost dream story was when she was working in Beijing and shared a dormitory with a female colleague from Northeast China. During that time, Ya held a thick detective suspense novel every night to read, and those were all independent stories. There is a story about a castle where anyone who enters it will surely die. It was the home of the earl, and he designed it for friends and family to come to a grand ball. While the ball was in full swing, the flames engulfed them, and the people died a miserable and desperate death.
The two young men did not believe in the legend and stayed at the castle together. In the middle of the night, the ball appeared, and the flames reappeared, and the Count came to them with a smirk. They drew their arrows and struck the Count...... The next day, a young man wakes up to find his friend with an arrow stuck in his neck, and his body is cold. It turned out that it was not the Count but a friend who had been shot last night, and the young man could not accept this result and killed himself. Two more corpses were found in the castle, and the horror spread even more......
After reading the story, it was about the middle of the night, and the female colleague was already asleep. Ya turned off the light and was in a daze to fall asleep. She didn't seem to close her eyes completely, and she saw a black figure with a masked face push open the door, and she walked tremblingly, like an old lady, and she actually threw herself in front of the bed. Then Ya felt that her neck was tightly clamped, and she screamed, screaming desperately, but she could not break free from those hands. As she became more and more helpless and dragged into the infinite darkness, she finally opened her eyes completely, she was gasping for breath, and she was already sweating profusely. Ya didn't dare to fall asleep again, and was in a daze until dawn. The female colleague said that she heard Ya yelling in the middle of the night, and she said that she was too scared to call Ya.
To this day, Ya can still remember that dream, but she really wonders if it is a dream or not, and why is that dream so real? Later, she no longer chose to watch books and movies about ghost stories at night. She also really admires the people who tell ghost stories and write ghost stories on the radio in the middle of the night......
Dreams have been written in the pen and read in the hearts of people throughout the ages. Dreams are a veil of fog, and when you wake up from a dream, you often feel that you don't know that you are a guest in your dream. Dreams are beautiful, dreams are prosperous, dreams are heroic, dreams are poignant. Dreams come from ancient times, singing all the way and sighing all the way......
