NO.009 I'm a nightmare?

Tang Ning was afraid of death, and he couldn't have imagined that a good dream he had was guided into a nightmare by Zhang Yaoyang.

Just when Zhang Yaoyang was still thinking, Tang Ning in the dormitory suddenly let out an exclamation and suddenly opened his eyes from the bed.

"Whew, what are you doing, it turned out to be a dream...... Tang Ning gasped and rubbed his forehead, and it was only then that he realized that the sheets under him had already been soaked with sweat.

"That dream, the one in the dream who wants to kill me is him?" Tang Ning shrank his body and looked not far away by the moonlight, only to see that the newcomer named Zhang Yaoyang was still sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

"Damn, no wonder I felt familiar with this person in my dreams, it turned out to be him!" Tang Ning gritted his teeth, under the double blow of the afternoon deflated and the nightmare just now, he only felt a nameless fire in his heart that wanted to explode, but when he thought of this guy's vicious eyes, he coaxed it again.

"Forget it today, there will be an opportunity to rectify him in the future." Silently finding a reason for himself, Tang Ning twisted his body a little uncomfortably, turned around and fell asleep again.

Until Tang Ning's snoring sounded again, on another bunk, Zhang Yaoyang slowly opened his eyes, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Oh no, the other party still remembers this dream." Zhang Yaoyang frowned, his worst concern still happened.

According to the information he consulted on the Internet, everyone dreams after falling asleep, and the average person will have three to six dreams a night, but in fact, only one or two can be remembered.

However, some people have done sleep experiments and found that if people are woken up from REM sleep, people's dream recall rate can reach 90%~95%, that is, because Downing was awakened by fear, he will have a deep impression of the last dream.

One or two are just coincidences, but if they repeatedly have nightmares related to Zhang Yaoyang, then anyone will probably feel that something is wrong. In this way, one's own ability may be exposed.

What's more, even if you don't wake up the other party, if you go in and out of the other party's dreams too many times, the other party also has the possibility of remembering yourself, after all, although people dream a lot and forget a lot, there are always some dreams that can still be remembered.

In other words, if Zhang Yaoyang wants to enter other people's dreams unhindered and not attract attention, I am afraid he still needs to disguise himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yaoyang couldn't help but recall a Western myth.

He remembered that there was a monster called 'Nightmare' in myths and legends, a demon that could manipulate and travel through dreams, representing war and death.

It usually takes the form of a black fiery horse with a flaming mane and four hooves with black flames, and it always exudes an aura of fear, and people in the Middle Ages believed that the source of nightmares was caused by this demon.

According to mythology, nightmares sneak into people's dreams and give them the fear of falling into hell.

In dreams, it transforms into a part of the dreamer's dream, such as a wall, or a pedestrian, and you can barely detect it in the dream unless you pay close attention, but it feeds on human dreams.

Silently pondering these materials, Zhang Yaoyang's eyes flashed with a hint of clarity, at this time, he already somewhat understood the pattern of the legendary creature of nightmares, according to the famous sayings he had heard - the oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the unknown.

According to this sentence, only nightmares can make human beings have the strongest emotions, and therefore, only nightmares can make nightmares get the most food!

How similar is all this to yourself, the illusion value that you collect in other people's ordinary dreams is only a small point, but once you transform the other person's dream into a nightmare, then you can get a few points or even more than ten points of illusion value, isn't this exactly the same as the attributes of nightmares?

However, Zhang Yaoyang often goes in and out of other people's dreams, but there is another shortcoming that needs to be improved, that is, he must change his appearance, otherwise he will always let people see his true face in his dreams, and sooner or later he will be exposed.

It would be perfect if you could have the ability to disguise in dreams like a nightmare.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yaoyang's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly understood the effect of illusionary value, he immediately closed his eyes and began to immerse himself in sleep.

In a few moments, he managed to enter the dream.

At this time, Zhang Yaoyang had faintly realized that his proficiency in lucid dreaming was improving by leaps and bounds, as long as he was willing, he could successfully fall into a dream within a few minutes, and this ability seemed to have completely become an instinct of his.

This time, he did not fall asleep from the dream, but experienced the ghost bed state again, in fact, he was already in a dream in this state, so he just turned over slightly, and let himself sit up from the bed in the dream world.

This way of dreaming, in lucid dreaming, is called 'out of the body', which is a passive way of dreaming.

At this time, Zhang Yaoyang looked around, and the scene shown in the dream was still in the dormitory, but all the people on the beds had disappeared, but in the drawer, there was a clanging sound, as if some small animal was struggling in the drawer.

Zhang Yaoyang opened the drawer as usual, and suddenly, the weird figure jumped out of the drawer with a 'click', and the two tentacles jumped on Zhang Yaoyang's shoulder, rubbing his cheeks, revealing a look of admiration and flattery.

"I see." Zhang Yaoyang took a deep look at the figure.

This strange figure can move in his dreams, and it is obvious that it has some close connection with the monster that gave him power at the beginning, and even Li Dazhuang's death is inseparable from it......

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to let this weird figure follow me.

Zhang Yaoyang didn't think about throwing this thing away, but his ability is likely to be closely related to this weird figure, and he has a faint intuition that if he loses this figure, it may become the biggest loss in his life.

Besides, isn't this weird figure a totem?

You must know that dreams are always different from reality, even real dreams cannot achieve the same perfection as reality, just like the movie "Inception" that Zhang Yaoyang once watched, the protagonist relies on a spinning top to detect whether he is in a dream - if the spinning top just rotates for a while and stops, then it means that it is in reality, and if the spinning top rotates forever, it means that he has been imprisoned in a dream.

The essence of this method is what lucid dreams call 'dream verification'. The spinning top can determine whether the protagonist is in a dream, and the unique dream activity characteristics of this figure are also a benchmark for Zhang Yaoyang to distinguish between reality and dreams.

Zhang Yaoyang faintly felt that with his own ability, he would probably spend longer time in his dreams in the future than in reality, although he still thinks that he can distinguish between reality and dreams, but it is easy to affect the soul when he shuttles between the two for a long time, and when he is lost in his dreams, everything will be over.

Therefore, in order to avoid confusing dreams with reality, the role of this figure is very important, and it may even be the root of Zhang Yaoyang's ability to dream.

Therefore, Zhang Yaoyang understands that he must not lose this figure, even if its existence may hide some kind of fatal crisis.
