Chapter 14 Falling into a Dream and Untying the Knot
The next morning, my parents said goodbye to my grandparents, and the family got on the bus home. Since I didn't sleep well last night, I was sleepy as soon as I got in the car and slept until I was in my hometown.
Today, on the third day of junior high school, my parents in the township bought things to go to the grave and went to the grave for my grandfather. On the way back to the village, we got off the tractor at the fork in the road a few hundred meters from the village and walked along the path to my grandfather.
After going to the grave, I returned home. I pulled out the notebook and pen I had bought when I was in school, and began to meditate on the words in those dreams.
To practice the floating dream control, the first thing is to master the key to dreaming and the key to dream control, and practice triggering the heart seal after entering the dream.
If you practice it many times, you can trigger it even when you are asleep. Most people fall asleep, but their dreams are chaotic, and the chances of relying on ordinary dreams to trigger heart seals are very slim.
The key to dreaming can speed up the speed of falling asleep, and the key to mastering dreams is to create a dream that is more likely to trigger the heart seal.
I already have a heart seal, which is the second brother I used to be. The next step is to fall asleep, according to the tips for dreaming, before dreaming, you should confirm whether the surrounding environment is comfortable and whether there are important things that have not been done.
After confirmation, close your eyes, relax your body, and isolate the sensations of your body and the hearing of your ears. Recall things related to the heart seal.
It should be noted that you can't recall it according to your memory, you can't think very subtlely, and you can't deliberately improve the degree of yang consciousness.
Add ideas beyond common sense to the imagination that is not there, do not concretize the imagination beyond common sense, and slowly extend the imagination.
Once you feel a yin dream, don't think about it, don't think about it, and keep it soft. When you haven't found the heart seal in your yin consciousness, don't rashly interrupt your controllable yang consciousness, and if you really can't sleep deeply, you can try to cut off your yang consciousness first.
When a heart seal appears in the yin consciousness, it is necessary to work hard to awaken the sleeping yang consciousness. If the dream deviates, or if the yang consciousness cannot be awakened, it will not be able to move on to the next stage of 'controlling the dream'.
At first, it was not so easy to find the heart seal and awaken the yang consciousness, even if you found the heart seal and awakened the yang consciousness, you still had to stay within the yin consciousness dream.
This is the difficulty of dreaming. It takes a lot of practice, regular practice, to exercise the connection between the heart seal and the yang and yin consciousness.
I thought about it while writing silently, then read it carefully, understood the above part, and planned to try it out tonight.
After dark, I washed up and went to bed. Lying in bed, try to fall asleep in the order understood during the day.
I thought about the road I used to go up the mountain with my second brother, and it was the feeling of that road, but I didn't think deeply about the specific tree shapes.
I walked slowly along that path, as if I had returned to that time, and as I walked, I felt that I was slowly rising, a little upward, and soon I had reached the crown of the big tree, and I had not stopped, and continued to rise, exceeding the crown.
I saw the mountains in the distance, the hazy ...... I flew slowly from the sky to the top of a mountain, down from the entrance of the cave.
Entering the stone hall, the spring water in the middle is still so clear. I fell to the ground, came to the wall, and walked forward caressing the smooth wall.
When I came to the door and looked out, I saw a familiar figure appearing by the flower bed. He said happily: "Xiaolinzi, look how beautiful this flower is!" "The moment I saw my second brother, I realized that I was dreaming.
That's when I woke up. The sentence still echoed in his confused mind: "Xiaolinzi, look at how beautiful this flower is!" Tears flowed involuntarily, and then I thought of going to my grandmother's house yesterday.
They all forgot about the second brother, and they didn't blame me. The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, the more I felt guilty, and the more I cried.
After I don't know how long I cried, I slowly fell asleep. The next morning, I wiped the tears from my face, afraid that my grandmother or mother, who had gotten up early, would see something wrong.
After meditating, I calmly recalled everything from last night, as if in the dead of night, my mind would be extremely fragile.
Even if I think about it now, I no longer want to let that memory, and I no longer want my second brother to be my heart seal, it is really painful.
I'm going back to work tomorrow, and the seven-day vacation is going by so fast. I sat at the desk where I was doing my homework at school, looking at the floating dreams that had been written silently, and suddenly I felt like I wanted to tear them off.
Recalling the dream of the day before yesterday, it was only a rough outline, and it had lost those details of the words.
I wanted to find a sense of solace, a way to face the past, but I can't.
I gave up trying to keep trying, and I won't try to dream again until I find the second heart seal.
On the third day, the little ingots still came to call me to go. Mom said they went out a few days late this year, so they weren't with us.
Two days later, in the evening, the group of five returned to the company dormitory. These days, I can't sleep well on the train, and I can't go on as usual when I meditate.
When I returned to the dormitory, I was already feeling exhausted, and I thought that I had stopped practicing for two days and started to meditate, but I was not in good spirits and fell asleep during the meditation.
In a trance, I wandered in the mountains and forests, and after a while I came to the tomb of Tusi, and the dim kerosene lamps on the ground illuminated only a small area.
I involuntarily walked in a little bit, and when I turned the corner, I saw a wide passage in front of me, and at the end of the passage there was a white light that illuminated everything around me.
As I approached the white light, the blinding white light made it impossible for me to see the innermost part. The moment I walked through the white light, the light around me seemed to be distorted, the white light was no longer white, it slowly turned yellow, then orange, and when I looked around, it seemed that there were countless figures shaking, and I began to feel scared, but I didn't know where to go.
The light in front of him was close to red, and the blood-red light shone in the spacious stone hall, and the entrance to the entrance could not be seen.
I only heard a distorted voice say, "Fenglin, you're back again!" Hahahaha, you're back! "I clinged to the hole, fear made me fumble around the wall, trying to find an exit, the gray figure next to me slowly approached me, and from a black mist stretched out a black and dry hand, I suddenly realized that it was a dream!
But the gray figures around me had already been pasted, and the black, dry hands had touched my face, and I could feel the dry knuckles and dander scraping against my face, but at this time, my legs were as if they were bound by something, and I couldn't move.
I could only tell myself desperately that this was a dream! It's a dream! I'm going to wake up, I'm going to wake up.
Just as I struggled, trying to move my legs, my body, and even my fingers. My back was empty, and I collapsed, my eyes closed.
But I didn't feel the pain of the fall, I just felt that my face was cold, as if there was water dripping on my face. Slowly opened his eyes, and a familiar appearance appeared in front of him.
"Second brother," I shouted. He wiped his hand on his clothes and said, "Xiaolinzi, why are you asleep?" I sat up and looked around, and returned to the stone hall again, where I sat on the edge of the well, and then realized that I was still in a dream, and had not woken up, and I stood up and patted my clothes.
looked up at the second brother, but found that there was no one at all, and there was no one in the empty stone hall. I was in a hurry, and just as I was about to go outside to see if my second brother was in the small garden, I turned around and saw another familiar person.
He had silver hair in a bun, a clear face, and a white robe.
"Fenglin, have you learned the trick of dreaming?" He asked. I looked at him, but I didn't feel bored, and replied, "No, I won't take the second brother as my heart." Then he looked around, and then he stretched out his head to go around his shield, and looked at the door behind him, and saw that the inside of the door was white, and he could see nothing.
"Oh, I see. You can't face him, can you? ”
"He's my second brother! Why can't I face him? I said fiercely, feeling like he was underestimating me.
"Oh! Is it? Haven't you always felt guilty that you hurt him? ”
"I... I... You have to take care of it. I was so angry that I bypassed him and walked to the door of the little garden.
"Hahahaha!" There was laughter behind me, but I ignored him. Walking into the door of the small garden, I saw the second brother after the white light, he was sitting by the flower bed at this time, and saw me come in and waved to me.
I sat down beside him, but I didn't know what to say.
"Xiao Linzi, how are you doing lately?" The second brother asked lightly. Hearing this, my nose was sore, and I hugged my second brother, and cried with a whimper, and said with a crying voice: "Second brother, I'm sorry for you." ”
"Silly boy, you didn't feel sorry for me, you forgot? I'm here with you! He said, stroking my head.
"But... But "I sobbed and couldn't speak."
"But I'm dead, right?" I nodded desperately, tears streaming down my face.
"Xiaolinzi, don't cry. If you cry again, you won't be able to see me again. He reached out and wiped my tears, saying as he wiped them.
I took a few hard breaths and stopped crying. Looking at his familiar face, tears could not be suppressed and slipped out again.
He reached out again and rubbed it for me, then pointed to the mountain in the distance.
"Xiaolinzi, look at the mountains over there, how beautiful they are!" I didn't look at it, I just looked at his face tightly and muttered, "Second brother... You don't blame me? He looked back at me and said, "Silly boy, how can the second brother blame you!" Come on, have fun with me today. I nodded desperately, holding back the tears that were about to flow, and walked towards the stone hall under his leadership...
The next morning, I woke up in bed. I felt the pillow soaked with tears, cold against my cheeks, but my heart was a lot lighter, thinking back to my childhood in my dream last night, playing around with my second brother, and going to and from school together.
I recalled the dream in bed for a while, sat up and meditated. Then I washed up and went to work, and started the first day of work of the new year.
At the door of the office, Mr. Sui was wearing a suit, holding a large stack of red envelopes in his hand, and handed one to everyone who entered the office, and they all said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Sui." "I walked up in the same way.
The work was as normal as ever, just sitting at the desk in a daze until a call came in, or Mr. Sui called me in the middle office.
Li Yuancheng is also in the office, he is responsible for the real-time tracking and regular situation report of the team, the phone is constantly calling out, occasionally coming to the general office to make a report, and squeezing with me.
Cao Yuanguo's eldest brother Cao is with Xiao Yuanbao, and Lei Xiaobao went to be a driver, he feels that driving is very chic, but due to lack of driving experience, he is only running errands with the car at present.
In the evening, after dinner in the cafeteria, I returned to the dormitory to meditate and vomit. Then I read a book or TV and go to bed between 9:30 and 10 p.m.
After what happened last night, I think I can try to learn the trick of falling asleep. When I came to the dream, I still saw the second brother and, of course, the man in the dream.
When the dreamer saw me coming to the dream again, he said, "Fenglin, it seems that you have mastered the key to dreaming. I looked at the second brother next to me, then at him and said, "Well, although the process has brought me a lot of pain. ”
"Are you ready to practice the 'Dream Harnesser'?"
"According to the text, by practicing the key to controlling dreams, you can control the realm of yin consciousness?"
"Why don't you prove it yourself?" The man in the dream touched his snow-white hair and said. I recalled the key to controlling dreams, and appeared in words in the void in front of me, stroke by stroke, word by word: dreams come true, and my heart is imprinted; Yang wakes up and dreams go.
The key to controlling dreams lies in the intention. The first cannot be attributed to reality, it is the same as the body feeling; It should be guided by the yang consciousness and carried by the yin consciousness, which is beyond the usual, and the intentional action is not intended between the lines.
One intention is reached, one intention is reborn, and it is getting deeper and deeper, and it is getting farther and farther away. If you want to feel the body, you need to focus on it and dissipate the rest...
The words that appeared in the void didn't surprise me, but I didn't know how to do it when I looked at them. How so?
I have fallen into a dream, how can I dream in a dream? I turned my head to look at the dreamer, and as if he knew what I was thinking, he said, "Aren't you dreaming now?" As soon as these words came out, I suddenly realized.
From the time I fell asleep to the present, everything is not perceived by my yang consciousness. I immediately followed his example, waved my right hand towards the void, and the Ziwei Dao Sutra appeared in front of me, and every time I finished writing a word in my mind, a word appeared in the void, and when I finished writing, these words were already densely covered with the entire void.
"Xiao Linzi, what is this?" The second brother asked on the side. I told me in detail about the experience from entering the Tianshun transport team to accepting me as an apprentice when I was old.
"Oh! You actually met a Taoist master, and I want to cultivate with you, okay? "The second brother listened to my story and said it with interest.
"Of course, let's try." I taught my second brother how to meditate, how to breathe, and then I joined him myself.
For the next few nights, I went to sleep every day and practiced with my second brother. During this period, it has also changed from walking and playing in the mountains and forests to two people flying and playing in the sky.
Although the things in the dream are illusory, I really feel those strange feelings when I wake up.
And the biggest change brought about by all this is that Master asked me to recite the Ziwei Taoist Sutra silently while meditating and breathing, and the many times I practiced in my dream did increase in reality.
In less than a week, I was able to fully grasp it. On the 10th of February, Master found me.
The first sentence of the meeting he said: "Xiaofeng, it seems that you have mastered the complete meditation and vomiting?" Although I didn't know how Master saw it, I nodded and said, "Well, I have been able to master it completely since yesterday." ”
"Hahahaha, good, good. Looks like you've worked hard! Come out with me today, I've already said that on the other side of the journey. ”
"Yes, Master."
"Now, you're going to drive." Master handed over the key, and it seemed that my breakthrough had made him a lot happier.
I drove out of the office in a Volkswagen sedan and headed towards the city center under Master's guidance.
