Ran Sinian didn't have the habit of setting an alarm clock, because his subconscious was his own alarm clock, even if there was a case that required him to stay up late, he could basically sleep as long as he wanted. It's just that this morning, Ran Sinian made a mistake, and he slept until half past nine in the morning.

After waking up and looking at the wall clock on the wall, Ran Sinian's first reaction was that the wall clock was broken. Looking at the phone again, he thought that maybe it happened that the phone was also broken. It's a coincidence.

No, is it a coincidence? After looking at the watch, Ran Sinian realized that it was not the wall clock and mobile phone that were broken, but his biological clock.

This is extremely rare, it has been a year and three months since the explosion, and it has never happened to him except for the nearly two months when he was hospitalized!

Getting up and going downstairs, Ran Sinian's first thought was to find Rao Pei'er, blame her for why she didn't wake herself up, and ask her if she had sent breakfast to the couple in the basement.

However, after calling Rao Peier a few times, Ran Sinian was surprised to find that Rao Peier was not at home at all, and the car downstairs was also driven away by Rao Peier.

What's even worse is that the basement is empty, where is there still the shadow of Fu Qiang and Wu Tingting?

Could it be that something is wrong? Someone kidnapped Fu Qiang and Wu Tingting, even Rao Peier was affected, and she was drugged, so she has been asleep until now?

The first thing Ran Sinian thought of in his panic was to call Rao Peier's phone, he thought that the phone would not be broadcast, but he didn't expect that the phone would be connected soon.

"Si Nian," Rao Pei'er's mother, Tao Cuifen, said in a voice from the other side of the phone, "Is there something wrong with Pei'er?" She's filming a commercial, and it's not convenient to answer the phone right now. ”

Ran Sinian was stunned for a moment, "Shooting commercials? That hemorrhoid medicine advertisement? Didn't she say that she wouldn't accept this kind of advertisement if she was killed? ”

Tao Cuifen smiled awkwardly and whispered: "No way, people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads?" Peier has had no income for several months, and finally an advertiser is willing to ask her to shoot advertisements, and she is also willing to save face and self-esteem. Alas, this kid may be too embarrassed to tell you, that's why she asked me to accompany her to the set. By the way, do you have something to do with her? ”

Ran Sinian sighed, but immediately said in a serious and urgent tone: "Aunt Tao, I have something urgent, you ask Pei'er to answer the phone immediately." ”

Tao Cuifen hesitated a little embarrassed, just in time for the director over there to shout, and was pointing out all kinds of opinions on Rao Peier's performance, Tao Cuifen couldn't look past it, and shouted loudly: "Peier, your boyfriend is looking for you, there is an emergency!" ”

After Rao Pei'er answered the phone, she just said the word "hey", and Ran Sinian asked anxiously: "Did you go to the basement to confirm that they are still there before you go out?" ”

Rao Pei'er seemed to be unable to react for a while, and was stunned for two seconds before asking, "They?" Basement? What are you talking about? ”

Ran Sinian thought that Rao Pei'er's environment was complicated and it was inconvenient to speak, so he asked again: "So, have you brought them water and food for today?" ”

Rao Pei'er laughed dryly twice, and asked loudly: "I said Ran Sinian, haven't you woken up yet?" I don't understand what you're saying at all. Do you have a pet in the basement? You didn't tell me to feed them. ”

Ran Sinian paused again, and realized that something was wrong, so he asked again: "Yesterday, two customers came to the house yesterday, do you remember?" ”

Rao Pei'er also realized that something was wrong, and said seriously: "Si Nian, are you okay?" Yesterday we weren't at home at all, we were out running around all day, did you forget? ”

A thunderbolt struck Ran Sinian's mind, and it became clear in an instant, and he was speechless for a while by the fact that he was aware.

"Si Nian, are you okay?" Rao Peier asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry." Ran Sinian muttered a few words and hung up the phone. He had to calm down and organize his thoughts right away.

First of all, he must face up to the fact that yesterday he and Rao Peier were indeed not at home, but went somewhere else; second, Fu Qiang and Wu Tingting did not hide in the basement of his house at all; Third, these two men never came to his house at all!

Because it's all he is dreaming about!

Such a complicated and lengthy dream caused Ran Sinian to sleep until half past nine! To be precise, he was doing a dream within a dream, and the second dream was a reenactment of the scene, recalling what really happened, that is, a series of past experiences when Le Van Tsi came to the counseling center for help. And the first layer of dreams is a story made up by Ran Sinian's subconscious, what Fu Qiang, Wu Tingting, helped Wu Tingting interpret the magician's dream, what private detectives, travel, camera memory cards and burglaries committed three times in a row, Qu Zichong called to want wanted thieves, etc., these are all fictional stories!

How so? Beneath the calm surface of Ran Sinian was already choppy and stormy, and he wondered how he didn't realize that everything was a dream. How so?

If it's just a short dream, Ran Sinian may not be able to realize that he is dreaming, because his subconscious will send a message: it doesn't matter if this dream is a dream, you don't know if you are dreaming or not, you can just relax.

But if it was a dream of great significance to him, and he had been doing it for so long, and the content of the dream was so complex and logical, and closely related to reality, it was absolutely impossible for him not to realize that it was a dream. Could it be that there was something wrong with his dream trigger?

Fortunately, Ran Sinian remembered the dream last night deeply, and he recorded several key points in the dream with paper money in time, corresponding to these key points, he finally sorted out his conscious and subconscious, and figured out the principle and reason why he had such a dream.

After noon, Rao Peier returned home, and the first thing she said when she entered the door was to ask: "Si Nian, what happened?" Are you hallucinating? Or do you still take your dreams as reality? ”

Ran Sinian motioned for Rao Peier to finish on the sofa opposite him, and then explained: "That's right, I didn't distinguish between dream and reality for a while. There are two reasons for this situation: first, I was too involved in the case of Li Wenci, even to the point of going crazy, and I wanted to find out the truth about the suicide case and the bombing case as soon as possible; Second, my dream trigger failed. ”

Rao Peier tilted her head and asked ignorantly, "What flight?" Is it a flight? ”

Ran Sinian smiled dumbly and patiently explained: "It's not flights and flights, it's the trigger of the gun trigger." Knowing a dream means knowing what it means to be in a dream. ”

"I still don't understand your technical vocabulary." Rao Peier made a look of expectation, expecting Ran Sinian to popularize knowledge for her.

Ran Sinian introduced: "You must have seen the movie, right? The protagonist of the movie has a spinning top, because some dreams look too real, reality and dreams are difficult to distinguish, when the protagonist needs to be sure that he is in a dream or in reality, he will turn the top, in reality the top will stop by itself after a while, and in the dream it will always rotate, never stop, by observing the spinning top you can know whether you are dreaming or not, this is the dream trigger. Another example is a habit we have always had, if something happy happens, we will say: I'm not dreaming, right? Then they will bite their fingers, and if it hurts, it proves that everything is not a dream, but a reality; If you bite your finger and you don't feel the slightest pain, it means that the happy event is just a dream. ”

Rao Pei'er suddenly realized, "So that's the case, then I understand!" You said that your dream trigger failed, could it be that the gyroscope in your dream stopped after a while? Or did you bite your finger and it didn't hurt? ”

Ran Sinian smiled and said, "Who said that there are only these two kinds of dream triggers?" I've just given two examples, but in reality, people who practice lucid dreaming will have their own dream trigger. The characteristic of the dream trigger is that it will show a completely different state in reality and in dreams. As long as everything that meets this characteristic can be used as a dream trigger, it can be a small object, a common thing, a special scene or situation, etc. Everyone can develop one or more of the dream triggers that they are used to using. And this dream trigger will gradually fail over time or under the influence of other reasons, every once in a while, people who practice lucid dreaming must replace and re-establish a new dream trigger in time. ”

Rao Pei'er seemed to be a student who couldn't understand the class, and raised her hand to interrupt Ran Sinian, "Wait a minute, you said lucid dream, what is that?" ”

Ran Sinian seemed to regret his mouthy just now, but seeing Rao Pei'er's thirsty look, he still spoke: "Lucid dreaming is also called lucid dreaming, in short, you have a dream, and you clearly know that you are dreaming in the dream, and this kind of dream is called lucid dream." Some people will inadvertently have lucid dreams, and occasionally know that they are dreaming in dreams, but most of the time, people do not know that they are in a dream, and if they want to know whether they are dreaming or not, they must establish and practice a dream trigger, and confirm whether they are dreaming or being in reality by constantly pulling this trigger in the dream and in reality. ”

Rao Pei'er asked puzzledly: "Listen to what you mean, some people are deliberately training themselves to dream lucidly?" Knowing you're dreaming, what's the benefit of doing so? ”

"The good thing is that with training, people can control their lucid dreams. Let's put it this way, the purpose of training the Dream Trigger is to be able to dream in a dream and know that you are dreaming, but this is only a premise. In fact, there is another premise before this premise, that is, the consciousness of doubting dreams, first develop this awareness, and then develop the awareness and habit of using the trigger. Only by making it a habit to doubt that you are dreaming and verifying whether you are dreaming can you habitually use the dream trigger. After knowing that you are dreaming, the dream is not completely dominated by the subconscious, and the human consciousness has been awakened to a certain extent, and through the consciousness, you can control the development of the dream. In other words, you can make your dreams develop the way you want them by constantly reinforcing your awareness and self-suggestion. For example, if you are being chased and killed in a dream, and you find out that it is a lucid dream, and then you use your consciousness to control the dream, and keep thinking, I am better than him, I can beat him, I can do martial arts, or I have a weapon, in the dream, you can really transform into a martial arts master, and you can take out an AK47 at will."

Rao Peier immediately thought of the dream she had about the train and Grandma Wolf before, and asked Ran Sinian with wide eyes, "It turns out that I wanted to repeat the dream about the train before, just trying to practice dreaming lucidly?" ”

"Not exactly, after all, when you had that dream, you didn't realize that you were dreaming, that is, your dream didn't have the link of doubting the dream and knowing the dream trigger, you directly used the intensity* in your consciousness to control your dream to a certain extent." Ran Sinian corrected Rao Pei'er.

"If I can control my dreams through lucid dreaming, why didn't you tell me to dream lucid-lucid at that time? Didn't even tell me there was such a thing as lucid dreams! Rao Pei'er glared at Ran Sinian dissatisfied. Gentlemen gather in the hall to interpret dreams
