Chapter 1: Nightmares

Next Chapter

The first time Yuan Chenfei met Liu Yang was in his office.

At that time, he was wearing an old gray jacket, holding a hat in his hand, his hair was unkempt, and his expression was a little dazed.

His two eyes looked directly at Yuan Chenfei, his eyes empty and straight.

"Mr. Liu?" Yuan Chenfei took the information and shouted carefully.

Liu Yang just woke up from a dream, his eyes were a little bright, and he shrank his neck at Yuan Chenfei and nodded: "You, hello, Doctor Yuan." ”

"Hello, sit down. Yuan Chenfei pointed to the large sofa in the room.

Liu Yang sat down carefully, but his butt did not sit firmly, as if he could jump up at any time.

"You look a little nervous. But trust me, okay? You can relax with me. Yuan Chenfei said to him in the most amiable tone possible.

His attitude softened the apparently nervous man.

Liu Yang nodded.

"Then ......" Yuan Chenfei walked over, sat opposite Liu Yang, looked at the information in his hand, and said, "Mr. Liu, you said above that you have had frequent nightmares recently, making you unable to sleep peacefully, right?"

"Yes. Liu Yang nodded vigorously: "I always have the same dream, and the scene in the dream is very real, which frightens me." I couldn't sleep well every night, I couldn't rest, and I didn't have the heart to work. Always sleepy ......"

Liu Yang said, his face showing a frightened expression again.

"Then you've come to the right place, I can help you have a good dream. Yuan Chenfei took out a pocket watch from his clothes.

shook it in front of Liu Yang: "This can help you fall asleep." ”

Liu Yang's face changed suddenly: "No, I don't want to sleep, as soon as I fall asleep, I will enter that terrifying world, it's too terrifying." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not going to give you nightmares. Yuan Chenfei comforted him: "Oh, before that, can you tell me about the content of that dream?"

Liu Yang hesitated for a long time, and then he said, "It was a very terrifying dream. ”

"Horror?"

"Yes. Liu Yang looked at him with straight eyes: "I dreamed of it...... Gods and demons descended, and the world changed drastically. ”

Coming out of the office, Yuan Chenfei saw that Liu Li had finished her share of the meal and was eyeing her chicken leg rice.

"Hell!" Yuan Chenfei shouted, rushed over in three steps and two steps, and snatched the chicken leg rice into his arms.

"Stingy. Liu Li muttered dissatisfied.

"If you don't have enough to eat, you can order another one, why do you always want to rob someone else?" Yuan Chenfei looked at his assistant with a headache.

If he comes out any later, the chicken leg will probably be gone.

Liu Li pursed his lips and replied, "I don't know why, if I order another one, no matter what it is, I will have no appetite for it at all." But if it's someone else's, then I'll crave it so much. Eh, you're a psychiatrist, why don't you tell me, what kind of mental illness do I have?"

Yuan Chenfei shook his head helplessly: "This is not a disease, you are a problem." ”

Liu Li was stunned when she heard this, raised her head and laughed, kicked her feet in the air, and shouted "roar, roar, roar", like a complete madman.

After going crazy for a while, Liu Li stopped his movements to look at Yuan Chenfei, saw that he was eating very slowly, knew that he was in thought, and shouted: "Have you met a strange patient again? What is it like this time?"

Yuan Chenfei was obviously stagnant, and he thought for a while before saying:

"The patient, Liu Yang, has been having nightmares about the coming of the end since a month ago. ”

"Repeating the same kind of nightmare?" Liu Li's eyes lit up: "That shows that the dreamer has an unsolved problem in his psyche, and the term in psychology is 'complex', which is commonly known as 'heart knot'." What this complex is is directly related to the theme and mood of the same dream. For example, repeated 'exam dreams' may be related to the psychological factors of 'passing recognition' or 'anxiety......"

Yuan Chenfei smiled: "Okay, don't show off your little psychological knowledge." If it were just that, things would be simple. ”

"Oh?" Liu Li became interested: "Isn't that simple?"

"His dreams are very systematic. Yuan Chenfei replied.

"Systematic?"

"It's the kind of dream that is very concrete, very fulfilling. ”

"How specific and fulfilling?"

Yuan Chenfei replied: "Complete structure, accurate time, sufficient characters, rich plot...... It's like a movie, no, a TV series, it's all there. ”

Liu Li was dumbfounded.

It is important to know that the dream itself usually does not have a complete story, it is just an inevitable physiological phenomenon that occurs during the fast-wave sleep period, and it is an active physiological process, which is manifested in the form of superficial components, but also with perceptual memory activities and unconventional associations.

Because of this, the vast majority of dreams are fragmented and abstract, neither real nor systematic, and there will be no complete architecture and system.

And now Yuan Chenfei said that someone's dream is as specific as a TV series, and there are all kinds of time, place, characters, and plots, which is incredible.

"All dreams are like this?" asked Liu Li.

"No, it's based on different plots in the same context, it's like a person's experience in it. On the first day, he dreamed that the world had changed dramatically, and the whole world had undergone unexpected changes. The next day, he had a new encounter. The third day is an extension of the second day's dream...... He had a dream for thirty days, but he spent thirty months in the dream, experiencing ups and downs, and his life was even more miserable. ”

"The contents of all these dreams are interrelated?" Liu Li asked in surprise.

"That's right. It's like writing a novel in a dream, day after day...... I've never seen a case like this. Yuan Chenfei said with a slight excitement.

I didn't expect that less than half a year after the opening of my psychological clinic, I encountered this kind of miraculous case.

In the field of psychology, there is no shortage of magical cases, and all kinds of unbelievable mental illnesses often refresh the three views and insights of psychologists.

What Yuan Chenfei encountered was undoubtedly one of them, and if he could track down this case and make detailed records and analysis, it would undoubtedly be of great help to his future work and reputation.

Liu Lizhi seems much calmer, as a skeptic, she congenitally doubts that everything is possible.

She put on a straight face and asked, "Is it possible that guy is making up stories......?"

Yuan Chenfei interrupted her and said, "You know I can tell if a person is lying. ”

Good psychologists are often also polygraph experts, and they are good at using various clues to determine whether the other person is lying, and they are sophisticated polygraphs themselves.

As a top student majoring in psychology at Stanford, Yuan Chenfei is one of the best.

"Is it possible that he came up with this story during the day and then recreated it in a dream at night?" Liu Li still did not give up.

Yuan Chenfei smiled: "Random speculation will not help improve your psychological level. The case of this patient is very rare and it is not suitable to draw any conclusions at this time, requiring long-term observation. I hypnotized him and let him sleep for a while......"

The words are not finished.

"Ahh

Yuan Chenfei put down his meal and rushed to the office together, pushed open the door, and saw that Liu Yang had rolled from the sofa to the ground.

He clutched his neck and screamed desperately, almost strangling himself to death.

Yuan Chenfei rushed over and pulled his hand away with all his might.

He's got a lot of strength.

Finally pulled Liu Yang's arm away, Liu Yang coughed desperately, his pupils were wide open, and his eyes were full of fear.

"Liu Yang!Liu Yang!" Yuan Chenfei shouted loudly.

Liu Yang seems to have finally woken up.

There was a hint of life in his eyes.

He stared blankly at the ceiling and didn't say a word.

"Are you having nightmares again?" asked Yuan Chenfei.

Liu Yang did not speak.

"Can you tell me what happened in the dream?"

Liu Yang finally looked at Yuan Chenfei.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said:

"They...... Cut off my head. ”

————————————

After that day, Liu Yang never came to Yuan Chenfei's clinic again.
