Chapter 5: The Dream Bearer
"It's not like that!" A voice came from behind Zhuo Zi and Zhuo Yong, it turned out that at some point, the man in white walked out of another door, he closed the door and continued: "Everyone dreams every night, the reason why some people feel that they are not dreaming after getting up is for two reasons, one is a natural phenomenon, people actually have two memory modes, one is short-term memory, the other is long-term memory, short-term memory is used to store some unimportant things, and they forget it after a while, Long-term memory is to keep something in your mind for a long time, for example, you may not remember your final exam results in the first grade of primary school now, but you will remember who your teacher was in the first grade of primary school, this is the difference between short-term memory and long-term memory. And dreams are the same thing, when you dream, you happen to be in long-term memory, you will remember what you dreamed, and on the contrary, in short-term memory, you will forget what you dreamed after waking up, so this is why some people will feel that they are not dreaming after waking up, or forget what they dreamed when they open their eyes. This is a natural phenomenon, and the second is artificial, some people will dream of something they shouldn't know in their dreams, or the dream is too terrifying and illusory by the virtual wanderer, in short, it is a dream that should not be remembered by him, so the dreamer will use this thing to erase all the memories in his dream. The two points I mentioned above are the reasons why people feel that they don't dream at night. ”
Saying that, the man in white took out a dagger from his pocket, and Zhuo Yong said in surprise when he saw it: "I'm going to you!" The grip of the dagger you are holding is exactly the same as the memory erasing device in "Men in Black", is it a flash of light when you erase your memory......"
"Well, that's right, the script screenwriter of "Men in Black" was created by Dream Executive." The man in white said unabashedly.
"Cripple, that's a bit of, isn't it? You've definitely watched too many movies, you, what you should do with your dreams, it's quite like it, this is a hole for me! Said impatiently.
Zhuo Yong was stunned and said, "Your sister, this is in your dream tonight, not mine." This man in white came to our dream for the second time, he has been to mine and yours, and I feel that things are a little reliable. ”
When Zhuo Yong was talking to Zhuo Yong, the man in white looked around with his back hand, looked at the surrounding doors, the corners of his mouth showed a strange smile for some reason, and he walked to each door and took a closer look, but when he walked to two of the doors, his expression changed slightly, and then he seemed to have figured out something, and his face hung the smile that seemed to be everything planned.
After turning around, the man in white looked back at Zhuo Yong and asked, "How is it, you two have also learned a lot, are you interested in joining the ranks of our dream bearers?" ”
Zhuo Yong just wanted to answer, but was stopped by the man, who preemptively said: "This Oba, you wait first, you appeared so suddenly, and then said a lot of what kind of vain wanderer, dream bearer, blabla, how do we know if what you said is true, how can we determine whether you are a good person or a bad person, even if we believe that you have joined the dream man, then will there be any rules that you are brothers when you join the religion, and you will be exterminated if you leave the religion?" If you want us to join, at least let us know more about you dream holders."
Zhuo Yong looked at the man, feeling as if he had changed as a person, although the sentences were unreliable, but the purpose was very clear. The man in white also stared at the man for a long time, and then laughed out loud. "Hahahaha, young man, good. Thoughtful and thoughtful. This is my first time bringing a newcomer, so some things are not very clear and not very systematic. Well, there's still a lot of time tonight, so I'll tell you all about the Dream Bearer in detail. Then you decide if you want to join us Dream Bearers. ”
As he spoke, the man in white stretched out his right hand, and at this time a white door appeared again, he opened the door and walked in, and Zhuo Yong and Zhuo Zi also followed him into the door. They are greeted by the fragrance that comes to their faces, a piece of green to the edge of the sky of the vast grassland is presented in front of them, what else in this world can match the power of nature, at this moment, as if given life by this magical nature, the breeze is like a child playing on the grassland, mixed with the fragrance of the grass, blowing up layers of waves on this vast grassland, bathed in this breeze, as if silk crossed, refreshed, relaxed.
The man in white took the two brothers to a relatively flat place, where a two-meter-square tatami mat has been placed, there is a tea table in the middle of the tatami mat, and the tea set full of tea is placed on the tea table. The man in white walked to the tatami mat and sat down on the tea table, then stretched out his hand to signal Zhuo Yong and Yuzi to sit opposite him. After the two sat down opposite the man in white, the man in white took a sip of the teacup, cleared his throat and said: "I feel more suitable here, so I will explain it to you in detail, because I am not very good at talking, so the explanation may not be so organized, what you think of and say, you listen carefully and then digest it slowly." ”
Seeing that Zhuo Yong and the others nodded, the man in white began to narrate: "As for the origin of the Dream Holder, I have already told you before, and now I will talk about our current situation and system in detail." At first, the Dream Bearer was just a group of righteous people who spontaneously got together, and later due to the growth of the team, the system came into being, and the Dream Holder's system was similar to the army, soldiers, lieutenants, school officers, and generals. Managers obey orders and listen to commands just like troops. However, due to the large number of personnel, just relying on official positions to manage in dreams can no longer have the effect of restricting everyone, so the senior management has also set up a company in real life, first, to set up a law enforcement team in real life, to punish some dream holders who have violated the rules and regulations, and secondly, to give some economic rewards to dream holders in real life. Because in the process of law enforcement in dreams, there are often glimpses of some personal secrets, such as the password of the safe, the bank password, the rise and fall of stocks, etc., in order to avoid the dream holder in the face of huge interests and apostasy, so in real life the dream holder will have a certain amount of money return, just like the salary, basically a high salary to maintain integrity. And our real-life company, I don't think you can guess if I don't say it, right? ”
Zhuo Yong immediately replied, "It's DreamWorks, Dreamworks?" ”
The man in white nodded with a smile and continued: "Hahaha, that's right, it's DreamWorks, because we will see many people's dreams, and dreams are a good script, with science fiction, plot, action, and horror, so the high-level people established DreamWorks, which can be regarded as a legitimate and legal use of dreams to make money and maintain the system and loyalty of Dream Executives, of course, now DreamWorks is not only making movies, but also involving many other fields, such as real estate, e-commerce, hotels, etc. Of course, DreamWorks is just the name we face in the world, and internally we call our system - Dream Enforcement Bureau, but few people call it that, and everyone is still more accustomed to calling themselves Dream Persistents.
In addition, there is a special existence in our system, it is a secret force in the Dream Law Enforcement Bureau, known as the Soul Ripper, this force is not known, they act quite secretively, and its functions are two, the first is to supervise the law enforcement activities of the Dream Breaker, if there is a Dream Breaker who violates the law or uses his potential to enrich his own pockets, then the Soul Ripper will punish them, this function is basically similar to your Chinese supervision. The other function is relatively more intuitive, which is to kill some vicious Void Wanderers, but this operation is carried out in real life, and no one knows how to execute and operate. In general, the Soul Rippers are the equivalent of the Special Forces of the Dream Breakers, and their markings are different from the Dream Breakers, whose mark is a cross and clouds, and their mark is a combination of a skull and a cross. ”
"The above is basically the whole system of the dream holder, and then I will tell you about the responsibilities and regulations of the dream holder, the responsibilities in the dream world are very simple, just a few points:
First, the dreamer must prevent the wanderer from maliciously altering the dream of the dreamer's dream for his own selfish desires or conspiracy.
Second, the dream holder needs to spare no effort to protect the secrets of the dream owner's subconscious in the dream. This includes personal, other, corporate and even national.
3. The dreamer needs to change some dreams that should not be known to the world or delete the dream record from the owner of the dream, and for the specific dreams of special people, the dreamer needs to follow the instructions of the superior to deal with them. ”
The man in white picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and continued: "As for the regulations of the dreamer, there are a lot of contents of the dreamer, which is basically similar to the law in reality, although the content is much less, but it probably means to regulate your behavior and prevent you from apostasy or do anything deviant, I won't say much here, all in all, you can rest assured, the most severe punishment is to erase all your memories of the dreamer and the potential you have developed, and become an ordinary person, But if you kill a companion when you're idle, in reality, you also destroy the system of the Dream Rider for evil, in short, if you do all the bad things, then don't come to raise the bar with me, it must be erased by the soul ripper in reality. ”
At this time, he seemed to be interested, and he also took a sip of tea from the movements of the man in white, and then said: "We basically understand the regulations, we are not big traitors, I believe there will be no violations." But as for duties, the first two can be understood, what does the third article mean, what is unknown to the world, and what is the specific dream of a special person? ”
The man in white explained: "I can only lay a foreshadowing here for things that are not known to the world, because you are not a member of the Dream Bearer and are not subject to the Dream Holder's regulations, so I can't reveal too much." As for the special dreams of special people, I can explain it to you. As we said earlier, the subconscious mind is a considerable treasure trove of energy, and the subconscious developed by each person is different, and there are only a handful of people who can freely control the developed subconscious, but in the dream world, people occasionally get this power, but after waking up, they don't realize that they have special abilities, and most people just think they have a bizarre dream. To give you an example: former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, he had a dream a few days before the assassination, in the dream he heard a whimpering cry in bed, so he got up and went downstairs to find the source of the cry, and finally found the crying crowd in the East Hall of the White House for a long time, and everyone was gathered around a coffin at this time, Lincoln stepped forward to ask, who died in the White House? One of the guards replied to him: It's the president. A few days later, President Lincoln was assassinated in a box at the Opera House. This is the specific dream of a special person, because this dream foresees the future. ”
The boy continued to ask: "Then how do you dream holders tell whether a dream foresees the future, and when you encounter such a dream, you say you have to follow the instructions of your superiors, how do you usually deal with it?" ”
The man in white replied: "You can see the dream of foreseeing the future at a glance, I told you before that when people are dreaming, the things and people around them will be slightly gray or blurred, as if seeing things through gauze, and when you meet the dream of the future, the characters in it are the same as what you see in reality, the colors are bright, so the dreamer can easily distinguish whether this dream has opened the subconscious ability to make predictions about the future." When encountering such a dream, the instructions of the superiors are usually to erase the memory of the dream, because people have to settle their own destiny, so they should not go against God's arrangement because they have opened their subconscious. However, it is not 100% feasible to erase the memory, and if the Divine decides that he can avoid the disaster, then the person will recall the predictions in the dream. Some psychologists say that people have the ability to foresee the future, which is usually reflected in dreams, but most people will lose the memory of dreams or the memory of dreams has been fragmented, but if some scenes in reality confirm dreams, some people can regain their memories and avoid disasters. For example, there is a person who dreamed that a group of people drove a carriage into the sky, he was far away from the carriage in the dream but could remember everyone's face, and soon after he took the elevator, he suddenly found that the people in the elevator were the same as in the dream, so he did not get on the elevator, and the elevator really had an accident. In the words of you Chinese, it is not to be killed. ”
Zhuo Yong asked, "Then did you have the act of erasing Lincoln's dreams?" ”
The man in white turned his head to look at Zhuo Yong and said: "The instructions of the higher authorities are not to erase, because Lincoln is the special person I just said, he is one of the greatest presidents of the United States, although he supported the non-emancipation of slaves at the beginning of history, but after listening to the correct opinions of the opposition, he changed his mind and implemented the policy of emancipating slaves throughout." Lincoln was a great man for the black slaves and for the country, so the Dream Hunter superiors at that time ordered not to erase the memories of Lincoln's dreams that foresaw the future. Although Lincoln was assassinated in the end, it only means that it was providential. This kind of special case is very rare in our dream people's daily work, because if this thing is publicized, it will be a very strange story, right? And if everybody finds that they can see the future, then too many people will join the unearned race, and what the world will look like, I don't think I need to say more, you can imagine it. ”
The boy nodded and continued: "Oh, we almost know about the Dream Bearer, I still have a small question, after listening to what you just said, you Dream Bearer should receive the task every night, but what if you have insomnia, or if you can't sleep on time for something?" ”
The man in white listened to this question, obviously did not keep up with his rhythm, because the jump of this sentence was too big, but fortunately this question was not difficult to answer, he smiled and said: "Insomnia is impossible, if you join the dream man, we will engrave the dream man's mark on you, this mark will prompt you to fall asleep at a fixed time every night, it should be regarded as the effect of sleeping pills, so there will be no insomnia." In addition, if you can't sleep at a fixed time, you need to ask your superiors for leave in advance, and after getting approval, the Dream Holder Headquarters will cancel the validity of your Dream Holder's Mark on the same day, and that's basically it. ”
After the man in white finished speaking, he took the teacup and drank it all, and then lifted the teapot to fill Zhuo Yong's cup and his own cup with tea again, at this time he deliberately quieted down, giving Zhuo Yong and his own cup time to think, and the two did fall into contemplation, after a while, when the man in white poured tea for himself again, he asked: "Having said so much, you have also thought about it for a long time, how about it, are you interested in joining us and becoming an unsung hero working in other people's dreams?" ”
Zhuo Yong was still a little hesitant, turned his head to look at the picker next to him, and the picker seemed to be still thinking at this time, he lowered his head and looked at the teacup, and after a while he slowly lifted the teacup and took a sip, and then turned his head to meet Zhuo Yong's gaze, Zhuo Yong saw that the boy frowned slightly, and his expression was very serious and firm. At this time, the boy nodded, but this simple action seemed to give Zhuo Yong a reassurance, although he was still a little hesitant, but when he saw the reaction of the child, he also made a decision. The two exchanged glances, looked at the man in white, and then said their decision together: "We have decided to join the Dream Bearer and become one of you!" ”
