Chapter 1: A Dream Within a Dream

Even dreams with painful content can be explained by the fulfillment of desires. The interpretation of this type of dream will definitely involve many things that we are unwilling to talk about or think about. Everyone has some privacy that they don't want to tell others, or even admit it themselves. But if it appears in a dream, it is not just a coincidence of chance. The painful feelings evoked in dreams are precisely meant to prevent us from discussing those painful things.

- Sigmund Freud, "The Interpretation of Dreams"

Rao Peier was running at full speed as hard as she could, stepping on the railroad sleepers with every step, and she was chasing the train that was gradually speeding up in front of her.

At the end of the train, there was no longer the little boy eating ice cream, Rao Peier was a little surprised, and then reacted that she was still dreaming! Now that the little boy who eats the ice cream has been deciphered to represent the key, there is no need for him to appear again.

Rao Pei'er suddenly thought of something, yes, it was the backpack behind her! She had to throw her backpack away right away, or Grandma would get out of her backpack and bite off her hand and swallow her ticket!

Rao Peier quickly threw out the backpack behind her as if she had dropped a bomb that was about to explode, and did not forget to look back, the backpack was normal, and this time grandma was not in it.

Oops, the train was going faster and faster, and Rao Peier was getting farther and farther away from the train, so she couldn't catch the train at all. Thinking in such frustration, Rao Pei'er cried out in a hurry, she thought, if her legs can be longer and longer, then wouldn't she be able to catch up with the train in a few steps?

That's right, didn't Ran Sinian say it? In dreams, as long as you are reinforcing and confident enough to identify something, that thing will happen in the dream. So as long as Rao Peier firmly believes that her legs will get longer and longer, then her legs will definitely get longer.

In this way, Rao Pei'er's legs suddenly tripled, but she still moved freely, and she caught the speeding train in a few steps and stepped on it.

Finally got on the train, Rao Peier couldn't wait to cheer. She opened the door at the back of the carriage and entered. Great, what happens on the train? Who will she meet? What will happen? What kind of truth do these people and events symbolize and point to? What are the truths that are sealed in my memory?

While thinking, Rao Peier shuttled through the carriage, as if she wanted to go from the last carriage of the train to the front of the train. There weren't many passengers in the train, sitting in hard seats in twos and threes, surprisingly quiet, they didn't talk to each other, not a single one! Rao Pei'er stopped to observe them carefully, all of them were bloodless and their eyes were glazed!

Rao Peier felt the weirdness of the atmosphere, and couldn't help but weaken her legs, she suddenly felt that the people in this car were not people, but ghosts! The end of this train is not the truth, but death!

"Check the ticket." A cold, eerie voice suddenly entered Rao Peier's ears.

As soon as Rao Peier raised her head, she didn't know when a tall figure appeared, wearing the costume of a flight attendant, but the uniform of this attendant was different from that on ordinary trains, and the color was pure black, which reminded Rao Peier of the black coffin.

"Check the ticket." The man stood in front of Rao Pei'er and emphasized coldly again. The brim of his hat was pressed so low that people couldn't see his face clearly, but this voice actually felt a little familiar to her.

Rao Peier mechanically took out the ticket in her pocket, the one with only six o'clock and ten o'clock, and handed it to the flight attendant.

The flight attendant took the ticket, staring at the ticket with cold eyes, his face changed instantly, the brim of his hat slowly slid back, and an angry face appeared. It was this face that made Rao Peier almost scream out loud.

"Dad, Dad?" Of course Rao Pei'er knew this face, how could she forget her father's face? Even if my father has been dead for twenty years? The father in my memory is still the young and handsome person he was back then.

The flight attendant who was called Rao Pei'er's father glared at Rao Pei'er viciously, and then tore the ticket to shreds, threw it out through the open window, and said in a low voice: "Your ticket is a forgery, there is no ticket, you must get off the train for me immediately." ”

"Daddy?" Rao Pei'er grabbed the man's sleeve and asked with trembling lips, "Aren't you already dead?" Could it be that this car is really, really a car to the underworld? Am I dead too? ”

The man grabbed Rao Pei'er's shoulders, lifted her up, and was about to throw her to the car window, he leaned into Rao Pei'er's ear and whispered seriously: "If you don't get out of the car, you will really die!" ”

"No, don't—" Rao screamed to grab her father's hand, but the whole person was already in the air and thrown out of the window.

"Ahh With a short exclamation, Rao Pei'er's whole body was agitated, her body lost her balance, and the feeling of weightlessness and falling became more real. She actually slipped off the table, and the moment she slipped down, her brain suddenly returned to her senses. I had a dream, a nightmare.

After settling down, Rao Peier realized that she was still sitting on the train. The train swayed and made regular sounds, and the carriages were noisy and full as far as the eye could see, with passengers chatting, playing poker, and walking in the aisles shouting "borrow".

Rao Pei'er exhaled deeply, this is a normal train, isn't it? The dream she had just had was terrible, and it was like a ghost train to the underworld.

"Girl, are you having a nightmare?" An old woman beside Rao Pei'er smiled kindly at her, "Why don't we change places, you can sit by the window and blow the wind." ”

Rao Peier was indeed a little out of breath because of the nightmare just now, so she thanked the old woman and changed seats with her.

As soon as I sat down, the train entered the tunnel, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness, absolute darkness. Although Rao Pei'er was frightened by the sudden darkness and gasped, the noisy human voice in her ears still made her feel at ease.

Rao Peier adjusted her sitting posture, and immediately felt that she was sitting on something, it was estimated that something had fallen out of the old woman's package, and she couldn't see it if she wanted to see it, so she reached out and touched it, it was fluffy and warm.

"Oops." The old woman groaned.

"What's the matter, old woman? Feeling unwell? Rao Peier asked with concern, wondering if she would change her position back.

"It's okay, it's okay." The old woman's voice came closer.

Rao Pei'er was curious, so she raised her hips slightly, pulled the fluffy thing underneath, and thought, maybe this is the old woman's plush chair cushion, and she has to return it to the old woman.

"Oops!" The old woman next to her screamed again.

Rao Pei'er still didn't care, she felt that the old man's body was a little uncomfortable, especially when the train was bumpy, there was nothing wrong with moaning twice, so she wanted to pull out the chair cushion quickly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull it out, as if the chair cushion was hooking something.

Rao Peier continued to exert herself, she stretched her hand in, and she actually touched a round piece of something in the fur, pinched it hard, and could also touch a section of bone joints in the flesh.

"Oops, oops." The old woman next to her screamed even louder.

Rao Pei'er tried to pinch the thing harder again, and the old woman screamed even louder, and even the thing moved.

Between the lightning and flint, Rao Peier finally realized that what she touched and pinched was the old woman's tail! Big fluffy tail!

But how do humans grow tails? What is the old woman sitting next to herself?

With a "boom", the train drilled out of the tunnel, and the light came instantly, shaking Rao Pei'er couldn't open her eyes. When she got used to the light and looked at it, she only saw a bloody mouth in front of her, and the terrifying fangs were close at hand!

Where is the old woman, what is the old woman, she has become a wolf grandmother in the clothes of an old woman! I was about to swallow her in one bite!

Rao Peier wanted to get up and run away, but she was forced in the corner by Grandma Wolf, the opening of the mouth increased several times, her chin was already on the seat, her throat and even her esophagus were clearly visible, and she was about to swallow Rao Peier whole.

Rao Peier finally realized later, why did Grandma Wolf take the initiative to change her position just now, this is tantamount to sealing her escape route, and she has nowhere to escape!

Is there no way back? At this moment, the sound of "checking tickets" was heard in the distance, and a man in a pure black flight attendant uniform walked towards them. Rao Peier had an idea, yes, she still has a way to escape.

Rao Pei'er stepped on the seat with one foot, climbed on the other foot, and the whole person jumped and flew out through the open window, at the same time, she heard the sound of the wolf's grandmother's bloody mouth biting hard, as long as she was one second late, the consequences were unimaginable.

With a "poof", Rao Peier rolled off the spacious double bed and slammed into the ground, the pain in her body finally made her completely sober. In order to confirm that the moment was not a dream, she also slapped herself hard.

"A dream within a dream?" In the living room, after listening to Rao Peier's full devotion and dancing, Ran Sinian asked curiously, "And Grandma Wolf?" ”

Rao Pei'er nodded heavily and said with emotion: "Yes, I have never had such a terrible nightmare, it is terrible!" ”

Ran Sinian pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "I see." ”

"How? What is the meaning of this dream? Rao Pei'er asked eagerly, "My mother and I just went to my grandmother's hometown yesterday, and when we came back, did it mean that I had discovered something in my grandmother's hometown in the countryside?" ”

"The subconscious reflected in dreams is also hierarchical, layer-by-layer. What dreams within dreams express is a deeper level of subconscious, that is, the deepest and most imperceptible subconscious. Therefore, theoretically speaking, the more layers of dream-within-a-dream, the more he has excavated the deeper the subconscious, and through the interpretation of dreams, he has a deeper understanding of himself or the surrounding environment. And the dream within your dream, which is the deeper subconscious that appears in your deceased father, means that your father is closely related to the memory you lost. Through this trip to the countryside, you have peeled off a layer of shell, that is, the shell of the secret related to your grandmother, and saw a deeper level of truth, that is, the secret is related to your deceased father. The two most crucial characters in this dream are your father and Grandma Wolf," Ran Sinian said slowly, "Your trip to the countryside has undoubtedly awakened some memories in your subconscious, or rather, it can be said that it activated the one that someone placed in your subconscious - Grandma Wolf." ”

Rao Pei'er was stunned, stunned for a few seconds before she reacted, jumping on her toes and screaming: "Someone put a wolf grandmother in my subconscious? ”
