Chapter 1: Suspicious of dreams

Sitting in the company's office, Xu Ran is still a little confused, the last month Xu Ran feels that he is sleeping at night, dreaming of the same theme every day, the content of the dream is not the same, but the content is still somewhat related, if he is asked to recall the details of the dream now, he really can't recall it, but vaguely in the shallow consciousness feels that the things in the dream are like continuous dreams related to each other.

The thing in the dream is like some kind of game, and now I can't remember the content of the game, but I can still remember a strong feeling in the dream, that is, the theme of this game is novel, and if it can be developed well, it should have a market and make money.

"Xu Ran, the boss asked you to come over." Sun Yanyan in the company's office pushed the door to greet Xu Ran.

"Oh, okay." Xu Ran smiled at Sun Yanyan, got up and walked towards the boss's office.

Xu Ran works in a construction and decoration company, is 26 years old this year, majored in interior design in college, graduated at the age of 22, and has been working in this company for four years.

The company where Xu Ran works is Wanyang City, Central Plains Province, and its name is "Imperial Capital Decoration Company"; It sounds very loud, but the scale of the company is not large, and there are a total of 4 people in the company who are engaged in architectural decoration design, and a total of 2 people who are engaged in water and electricity design.

After Xu Ran knocked on the door and entered the boss's office, he saw that Zhao Mingxia from the company's water and electricity design department was also sitting on the sofa opposite the boss's desk.

The boss beckoned Xu Ran to sit down and said to the two of them: "The company's new 232 project is an office building on the first and second floors of the interior decoration design and construction, the construction period is relatively tight, you now go to meet with Li Gong of the 232 infrastructure office, after understanding the details and requirements, first hurry up to make the design drawings, if the time is tight, the company can increase people." ”

Remembering the phone number given by the boss to Li Gong, the two drove the company's only office van to the 232 Institute at 10 a.m. to meet Li Gong.

Li Gong is a man in his 40s, looking at the face of kindness, is a very hearty person, Li Gong introduced to the two people, "our project is a high-rise office building of the first and second floors of the interior decoration, the current building more than three floors of the powder has been basically completed, the first and second floor of the wall has been completed; The overall completion date is the end of September. ”

"Due to the tight time, I hope your design drawings can come out as soon as possible, and the leaders will look at the drawings after they come out, and they will be reviewed by the fire unit. Today is April 12th, and the design drawings are required to be produced on April 28th. ”

After thinking about it, Xu Ran and the two said that there was no problem; Li Gong continued to introduce the general requirements of decoration materials and water, electricity, fire protection and other general requirements to the two people, and provided the two people with the electronic version of the original design drawings related to civil engineering and installation, describing the functional requirements of the relevant rooms on the first and second floors.

Then Li Gongling led the two people to look at the construction site.

When the two said goodbye to Li Gong, it was already half past eleven, Zhao Mingxia invited Li Gong to have a light meal together, and Li Gong smiled and politely declined.

After driving away from the construction site, Xu Ran said, "Sister Zhao, let's have a light meal outside at noon, right?" "No, you can just send me home."

The two of them live not far from the company, and they usually ride electric cars to work.

Zhao Mingxia is 32 years old this year, married, and a beautiful jasper-type woman from a small family.

After Xu Ran sent Zhao Mingxia to the place, he said to Zhao Mingxia: "Sister Zhao, I'll come to pick you up from work in the afternoon?" Zhao Mingxia smiled and said, "Okay, then you can arrive at 1:40 in the afternoon." ”

In the afternoon, after Xu Ran picked up Zhao Mingxia on time, he arrived at the company before 2 o'clock. On the way, Zhao Mingxia asked Xu Ran whether he planned to win the civil design alone or needed to increase personnel, Xu Ran said that he had considered it and worked hard to win it alone.

Xu Ran's company's designer's treatment is the basic salary plus commission, Xu Ran's monthly basic salary is 1200, and the commission is a certain proportion of the work tasks completed.

Liu Tao, the minister of the civil engineering design department, is a man in his 40s, and the big work in civil engineering is mainly done by Minister Liu and Xu Ran, and there are two young girls in their 20s, who have worked in the company for more than 1 year after graduating from university, mainly doing some small home decoration design, and giving the two of them a hand when they are busy.

The director of the water and electricity design department is Zhao Mingxia, who focuses on pipeline design; Another woman in her 30s, Wang Caifeng, focuses on electrical design.

After Xu Ran and Zhao Mingxia returned to the company, they made a detailed report to the boss Wang Jie, Wang Jie asked about the work arrangements of the two, and explained that the two of them immediately arranged to work, and the contract had its own office to deal with it.

Electrical design: Zhao Mingxia went to arrange Wang Caifeng's design, and Xu Ran also returned to the office to collect information and Zhang Luo designed.

Speaking of which, the design task is still quite large, with a construction area of nearly 2,200 square meters on the two floors, with a height of 6 meters on the first floor and 5 meters on the second floor. The renovated rooms include foyer, restaurant, conference room, library, reception room, toilet, elevator front room, corridor, etc. According to the requirements of the owner, the ground is made of granite floor tiles, the walls are mainly made of wood decoration and granite wall tiles, and the ceiling is mainly made of mineral wool board or gypsum board ceiling.

Speaking of which, Xu Ran has not had a job at hand for a week, and after returning to the office, he looked at the electronic version of the original design of civil engineering on the computer, and copied and sketched it in his notebook.

Xu Ran's working idea for decoration design is as follows: according to the design requirements of the owner, collect the design information of similar room types, and use his brains to make design drawings with his own characteristics. Among them, the relevant national norms and mandatory standards must be observed. On the other hand, as a designer, the sense of accomplishment of trying to make a masterpiece of decoration design with his own characteristics also requires Xu Ran to use his brain to work hard.

"Xu Ran, it's time to get off work." "Oh, it's time?" Lin Lili, who was in the same office, said to Xu Ran while cleaning up the table: "It's 6 o'clock, I'm going to work overtime" "Let's go, let's go." ”

Chapter 2: Dreams are rewarding

For convenience, Xu Ran rented a one-bedroom house near the company, Xu Ran is not currently married, has no girlfriend, and lives alone.

After going home, he simply cooked and ate, Xu Ran turned on the computer and started his own decoration design work.

The decoration design he has done at work is backed up in the computer, and the decoration design pictures and information in his photos are also stored in the computer, and there are a lot of materials to choose from when he searches.

Usually, Xu Ran is ready to go to bed at 11 o'clock in the evening, but today considering the heavy workload of drawing design, he plans to do more meetings and go to bed at 12 o'clock.

Xu Ran is very serious in whatever he does in daily life, never perfunctory about his work, and pays attention to what he wants to do, and tries to do it as perfectly as possible; Sitting in front of the computer today, immersed in the outline of the design idea, Xu Ran fell asleep unintentionally.

In a trance, Xu Ran knew that he had entered the dream world again; Everyone should have experienced this experience, when something unreasonable is encountered in the dream, the brain can immediately judge and remind the dreamer that he is currently dreaming, and it does not affect the dreamer to continue to enjoy the current dream.

A group of people walked in the street, the style of the street was a little antique, Xu Ran just felt that Mu Ran was moving with him, and his thinking was obviously lagging behind his actions; The group entered the restaurant, took their seats, and then began to eat.

While everyone was eating and chatting, Xu Ran was suddenly attracted by the wooden decoration of the hotel wall, and wanted to take a closer look, and the dream self began to bow his head to eat again.

If you think about it, it's a dream, you can't do whatever you want, I just hope that the next time I look up, I can take a closer look at the style of the wooden decoration of the wall. In people's usual dreams, the more we try to see things clearly, the more we tend to see them more clearly.

Fortunately, every time he looked up, Xu Ran could take another look at the production style of wood ornaments, different from the usual dreams, every time he looked up, there was no scene change, and there was no illusory change in the wood decoration, and when he looked closely, he could see the details of the wood decoration.

Although I can't tell what is the difference between the wood decoration here and what Xu Ran usually comes into contact with, the obvious feeling is that the wood jewelry here is very novel and chic, and it is also very quaint, which will definitely help his current wood decoration design work.

Concentrate your attention, and every time you look up, you can observe the detailed style of wood decoration; When the perspective is gone, try to memorize what you see so that you don't forget what you see when you wake up. In the middle, Xu Ran's character will also talk and chat with his tablemates, but all this has nothing to do with Xu Ran, and Xu Ran's character also ignores Xu Ran's feelings and talks to himself there; The content of the speech and chat Xu Ran was even more deaf.

In the continuous observation and memory, the dinner was over, everyone got up and prepared to go out, Xu Ran wanted to go to the wooden wall to observe and feel carefully, but he couldn't do it, and he led everyone out directly in his dream.

When I think about it, I am relieved, if I dream, then I have to have the consciousness of dreaming, if I can do what I want, it is a practice; It's better to quickly memorize what you just saw, if you still haven't forgotten it when you wake up from the dream, then the dream is worth it.

What Xu Ran wants to do most now is to wake up from the dream immediately, and try to use the methods he knows to wake up from the dream quickly: pinch his thighs hard, but it is ineffective; Stiff neck straightening, ineffective; Remind yourself that you are dreaming, that you should wake up, and that you can't wake up; ……；

In a trance, continuing to go shopping and activities with everyone, Xu Ran continued to keep his eyes not squinting and turning a deaf ear, but just silently remembering the decoration style of the wood ornaments he had just seen.

Xu Ran was woken up by the cold, and when he woke up, he found that he was sitting on a chair in front of the computer desk and fell asleep, and his first reaction was that he was going to freeze and catch a cold, and then he remembered what he saw in his dream, and he didn't care about anything, and he had to write it down while his memory was fresh.

Seeing that the time was 4:15 in the morning, Xu Ran made himself a cup of hot tea, sat down at the table and picked up the pen and began to sketch.

In the past few days, although the temperature during the day can be more than 20 degrees, but at night when the temperature is low, it is only 11 or 2 degrees, and the temperature difference between day and night is still relatively large.

It was half past seven in the morning, Xu Ran was very satisfied with the results of his morning's work, although he only sketched out what he saw in his dream from memory, but he could clearly record many things Xu Ran did not expect at first, after all, it was seen in a dream, it was usually very illusory and illogical, and generally he couldn't remember much after waking up from a dream; I didn't expect to be able to bring out this useful information from what I saw in my dreams this morning; Although he has a little cold now, Xu Ran also feels that it is too worthwhile.

I wasn't ready to go to work in the morning, so Xu Ran called Minister Liu to ask for a morning off. Then go out for breakfast.

If there is a task in hand, he is not required to stay in the company every day, but he does not go to the company to ask for leave from the leader, but the leave is not deducted from the salary.

Xu Ran usually drinks beef soup for breakfast. 5 yuan of soup, 1 yuan of cakes, eat a soup and eat enough.

Go to the neighborhood pharmacy and buy a box of cold medicine, go back to the house to take the medicine, set the alarm meter, and sleep.

Chapter 3: But I want to have a dream

When he came to the company in the afternoon, Xu Ran took out what he had seen in his dream and began to think about the decoration style of this decoration design.

Speaking of decoration design, the most laborious designer brain is the determination of the decoration style, the designer's work not only to meet the requirements of the client, but also to show the designer's own characteristics, in addition to the harvest of design fees, the designer most enjoys the recognition of others for their own creative results.

Instinctively, designers want the style of their works to be unique and unique, rather than the same as others; Therefore, every design task is an opportunity for designers to show their talents.

Although Xu Ran has only been engaged in decoration design for four years, he is a professional who graduated from a university after all, and belongs to an insider with a theoretical foundation. Since it is now the information age, it is very convenient to find information and search information on the Internet, Xu Ran usually likes to collect decoration information as a knowledge accumulation, so for the decoration industry, he also has his own experience and opinions.

Xu Ran's wood decoration style sketched according to the memory in the dream is different from what Xu Ran has known before, it can be said to be a style of its own, according to the overall decoration effect that Xu Ran saw in the dream is quite chic, durable, and elegant.

In the past, Xu Ran undertook the decoration design task, usually to ponder, scrutinize for several days to preliminarily determine the style of decoration, if you plan to bring forth the new, it is a lot of brains. This time, Xu Ran decided to use the decoration style he saw in his dream as the style tone of his design, and his intuition felt that this design would definitely make the customer very satisfied.

This afternoon, Xu Ran sat in front of the computer and did not leave his seat, he has been working hard, and his work is like "reading more than 10,000 volumes, and writing like a god." "After the creative idea was decided, the computer composition was very smooth.

It wasn't until Lin Lili was talking behind his back that Xu Ran realized that it was time to get off work again.

"Yo, Xu Ran, does this idea look chic, the composition has been determined?" "Heh, it's a fool's errand, isn't this a tight task?" Xu Ran said to Lin Lili with a smile, with a hint of pride in her smile. "Rong Rong, come and have a look." Lin Lili snatched Xu Ran's mouse, operated the computer and shouted to Fang Rong, another girl in the office, Fang Rong came over to watch Lin Lili's operation, her face showed surprise, and she said with a smile: "Xu Ran wants to treat me this time, and I found the feeling so quickly." "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, when you get the money, you must please" Xu Ran got up and said, "Let's go?" It's off work. ”

Lin Lili and Fang Rong are both from this city, and when they graduated from the internship, they were in Xu Ran's company, and after graduating from the bachelor's degree, they directly applied for the "Imperial Capital Decoration Company", and the boss began to consider letting Xu Ran develop a girlfriend from the two, and then as soon as he learned that the two girls had boyfriends, he gave up.

After saying goodbye to two female colleagues at the door of the company, Xu Ran went to the supermarket to buy groceries, and then went back to the house to cook.

After eating at night, Xu Ran thought about his dream again, and was full of expectations and excitement about whether he could continue to dream tonight. Xu Ran was looking forward to discovering some useful materials in his dreams.

Xu Ran was very strange about falling asleep in the middle of last night's work, he didn't remember when he was particularly drowsy and confused last night, he thought he was in good physical condition, and he should have been concentrating on thinking about the decoration design at that time, it was impossible to fall asleep in a daze in that state, and he had never fallen asleep unconsciously at work before, he could only think that he fell asleep in an inexplicable situation.

Xu Ran's dream of the moon is still quite weird, although he can't remember the content of the dream in detail, but the general feeling is still there, just like a serial, the characters or content of the day can still be a little connected. Being able to dream continuously every day should be very rare, it can be said to be unheard of, Xu Ran only thinks that this thing is a benefit from God; Nothing else seems to explain it.

No matter how weird this incident is, Xu Ran still enjoys spending every day in a relaxed and interesting sleep; Although it's not as good as **, it's a good dream after all.

What's more, he can benefit from last night's dream, Xu Ran is a little anxious about tonight's dream.

For this period of continuous dreaming, Xu Ran is also worried that it will have an impact on the body, Xu Ran's company has an electronic scale, Xu Ran has weighed it several times, and his weight is basically 145 pounds. I feel that I have always been in good spirits.

The only thing I feel about the change is that I have become more hungry, I used to feel hungry all morning after drinking beef soup, but now I often feel hungry by 11 o'clock. Now that I think about it, it is estimated that dreaming consumes brain power and energy, and in the future, I have to add 5 yuan of meat to the soup for breakfast, at least it must be worthy of mental activity.

But I have to go to bed early today, I can't sleep in staying up late, I can't be woken up by the cold, although I have taken medicine for this morning's cold, but I can't hurt my body like this; And he also hopes to keep his current habits, as long as he can maintain continuous dreams every day, in case he can't maintain continuous dreams because of his change of work and rest habits, it will be too cost-effective.

After making a cup of hot tea after dinner, Xu Ran set the alarm on his mobile phone at 23 o'clock, sat in front of the computer and began to work on the design task.

At 23 o'clock, when the alarm went off, Xu Ran decisively saved and shut down, and went to bed after simply washing, rinsing, and releasing water.

Tonight's sleep is a little troublesome to Xu Ran, usually it doesn't take long for Xu Ran to fall asleep after lying in bed, today should be too much to look forward to falling asleep, but I can't fall asleep for a long time, and it's 12 o'clock, it's speechless.
