Dream Guide

All common sense does not hold true in dreams, because dreams are another dimension of space.

For example, common sense holds that people will suffocate to death in water. But in dreams, people will not drown because the conscious body does not need to breathe.

But when you treat this counter-intuitive knowledge as common sense, you sometimes make mistakes.

Aoki has made such a mistake now.

He thought he wouldn't drown, so he let the perceived river water cover his nose.

However, when he was relaxed, he actually choked on a sip of water.

The cold water entered his nose and lungs, causing him to cough suddenly.

He immediately raised his head, exposed his mouth and nose to the water, coughed a few times, and coughed out the water in his lungs before he felt better.

Like the crazy beggar, Aoki hung himself from the top of the cage and waited for the water to recede.

It seems that this is no longer a dream!

But he was certain that when he entered the cave just now, he had indeed entered a group dream. All the people in this cave are dreaming. They have built a dream together, and this dream has lasted for a long time. After the cooperation of many people, the dream space is very large, and its rules restrict the power. Very big.

The question is, when did you exit the dreamland again?

Aoki carefully recalled everything that happened when Dujuan exited, and there seemed to be no suspicious signs that the space had been transformed.

The feeling of actually being soaked in the cold underground water was not good, and the muscles of the arms that were bent and hung began to feel a little sore and numb.

Something stirred the water in the distance and floated over. I couldn't tell what it was in the darkness, only the sound of rushing water could be heard.

Suddenly, Han Laizi's curse came from the cage next to him: "What the fuck...what the fuck?...Bah, bah...I can't do it anymore...bah...gurulu...help...puff...help" ...Pfft...help..."

Han Laizi seemed to be dragged into the water by something, and after bubbling for a while, there was no sound.

Then everything went quiet.

After an unknown amount of time in the darkness, the water level slowly receded again.

Aoki rubbed his arms, and then touched every iron bar of the cage with his hands. The iron cage is welded and very strong. It is impossible for ordinary people to escape except by opening the lock on the cage door.

Of course, Aoki is not an ordinary person. So he tried to make the gap in the iron bars wider.

But he suddenly found that he couldn't use any strength at all, and there was a sticky force surrounding his body, just like something suppressing an ordinary person's nightmare.

Still in a dream?

This is so strange.

Aoki took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and carefully recalled the details of entering the cave from beginning to end.

The first time he felt uncomfortable was in the rotten leaf ravine behind the small wooden building, where there was an unpleasant stench. At that time, his consciousness was already affected. The stench is the same as the fragrance of cuckoos. It affects people's subconscious mind by stimulating the olfactory center of the brain.

There should be an extension of this group dream, which is equivalent to a guide for outsiders entering here.

Next, Aoki felt a trance at the entrance of the cave. At that time, I should have touched the edge of this dream. At that time, he had realized that he was about to enter a very huge dream, and thought it was created by Dewar.

After entering the cave, he met Du Juan, and later discovered that Han Laizi and others were all in the dream, and he determined that this was a group dream.

Although Du Juan did not say it clearly, she admitted that this was not a dream for her and her master. Situ helped activate this place for her. In other words, this dream existed before Du Juan.

Was it made by Situ? It's hard to make a conclusion now.

After that, Aoki was put into a cage and Du Juan left, which was no problem. The question is, why does the conscious body choke on water?

It would be fine if he was just an ordinary person. The consciousness of ordinary people does not know that they are in a dream, so they believe that they will drown. After they were submerged in water in their dreams, their subconscious would directly retrieve sensory memories such as chest pain and suffocation from their brains. Normally, that's when the person wakes up.

But in a group dream, an individual's dream is connected to other people's dreams, and the spaces are superimposed on each other, making it difficult to collapse. Just like building a house, ordinary dreams are like independent houses in the country, while group dreams are like apartments in the city, with dozens or hundreds of households in one building. Unless the entire building spans, your home will not Collapse alone.

If the dream does not collapse, it will be difficult for the conscious body to leave the dream space and return to reality.

That's why Aoki thought that he had left the dreamland, and the performance of Hanraiko next to him also confirmed his idea.

But when he tried to open the iron door of the cage, the feeling in his body clearly told him that he was still dreaming.

In other words, he is now in a state that is both a dream and reality.

In the dream, he was trapped in an iron cage by an underground river where the water level would change. In the real world, his body was in the same situation.

This is a kind of reality dream, that is, the dream and reality are synchronized. What you do in the dream is also done in reality.

Ordinary people's sleepwalking is a kind of real-life dream.

But it is incredible to build a huge group dream, and it sounds even more incredible to turn a group dream into a real dream.

The dreams that most people have will imitate the real environment in terms of spatial rules. Only in this way can many things in the memory be brought out and put in calmly. Therefore, ordinary dreams have gravity, and people in dreams cannot fly.

It is not easy to break through such rules, but it is not difficult either, because the rules of the real world are also changing with our exploration and understanding.

Sometimes, it is easier for a person who has no knowledge or knowledge to achieve a dream breakthrough because he does not know the law of gravity. Therefore, children are more likely to have strange dreams such as flying, diving, etc.

It's easiest to construct a dream that conforms to the rules of the real universe. You just need to follow common sense. Usually, we don’t need to do anything deliberately. At the beginning of the dream, the subconscious mind has already determined the rules of the dream.

But the "easy" mentioned here is only a relative term. Even the greatest scientists in the world have very limited knowledge of the world so far. How can they build a world in a dream that is exactly the same as reality?

Just like 3D printing technology can make fakes resemble real ones in terms of shape and material similarity, but it cannot replicate something at the molecular level, let alone the quantum level. So don’t expect 3D printing to be able to replicate a person anytime soon.

In the same way, it is almost impossible to copy a dream that is exactly the same as the real world. This requires the dreamer to understand all the rules of the universe and the details of its operation.

Therefore, most real-life dreams are coincidences that rely on body perception.

Qingmu thought of Mo Yu's sleepwalking state at that time. Those mirrors were placed by Situ. At that time, he was very confused. Why did Situ do this?

Now it seems a bit clearer - Situ is probably doing an experiment. He is trying to create a formation that can allow people to enter a group's real-life dream state, if you can call it that.

There were a little few recommendation votes yesterday. I know that the pace of these chapters is a bit slow and there are a lot of conceptual things, but it is very important for the subsequent development of the main plot. Please be patient, we will soon get to the plot of Southern Yunnan. It's coming to an end, and a climax is coming. Please vote for it. Thanks for the tip of "Murderous Look" and "God's Projection".
