The world enters the age of myth

The author of the diary seemed to have suffered from a certain degree of mental illness, so much so that he gave up his last chance to survive. The nightmare curse broke out completely and he died in the city hall.

If he fled to Yanghe, he might be able to resist for a long time.

In the end, his diary was picked up by the Yunhai expedition team... It seemed like a mysterious destiny.

Without this diary, it will take a long time for Yunhai to figure out the specific truth.

Lu Yiming sighed. He carefully studied the lucid dreaming techniques in the diary, which were all exchanges of experiences between the original survivors.

However, the translation of various words may not be accurate enough to make it difficult to understand.

After a long time, a scientist sighed: "The technique of lucid dreaming can combat nightmares to a certain extent, but only to a certain extent. As the curse deepens, it will eventually be difficult to break free, and will you be... drowned alive?"

"This time ranges from about 50 to 70 days...it depends on personal talent. After 60 days, you will enter the high-risk zone."

"But how should lucid dreaming be popularized? Is it difficult for normal people to have this kind of lucid dream?"

"For a lot of people, it's just a fluke."

Lucid dreaming is not the same as daydreaming. Lucid dreaming is when the dreamer remains conscious during sleep; daydreaming is when the dreamer meditates or fantasizes while awake without entering sleep.

In school, the chance of lucid dreams occurring by chance is greater than in adulthood. Especially during naps when you are tired during classes in junior high school and high school, the probability of having lucid dreams will be greatly increased. Most people have never had this kind of lucid dream since graduating from high school, and they don’t know how to enter this mysterious and mysterious state.

This seems to have something to do with age.

Li Wei smiled and said: "I haven't done much research in this area, and it's very strange to translate these materials. So combining the information from Nightmare Continent and our own practice, we still asked the brain expert Professor Fu Go on stage and speak.”

Professor Fu is a middle-aged man in his forties. His hair is thinning and he is tending to become bald, probably because of the excessive pressure of translation in recent times.

He said in a loud voice: "There are several ways to enter a lucid dream state!"

He stretched out a few fingers and said, "The first is those with extraordinary talents. These are those who are naturally prone to entering the state of lucid dreaming and can control their dreams while in the state of lucid dreaming. In fact, controlling dreams is not a good thing. The body protects the soul. The last barrier is that if you control your dreams for a long time, you will easily develop a certain degree of mental illness."

"In this world, the natural survivors gathered in the city government should all be this kind of talented people. I believe there will be a few of us in the Sea of ​​Clouds. They don't know it themselves, and the number will definitely not be very large."

“As long as they train carefully, these people will soon stand out.”

"The second method is meditation, self-practice and self-hypnosis. As early as the eighth century AD, Tibetan Buddhists were popular in practicing a type of yoga that believed they could remain fully awake during sleep. It was called dream yoga. Of course, we don’t know much about what’s going on at the moment, so we can only read some ancient documents and hope to gain something.”

"According to our understanding, the specific principle is this: First of all, you must have the habit of recording dreams. It is best to have a pen and paper or mobile phone next to the bed, and you can record it as soon as you wake up. The more detailed the records, the better."

"Over time, you will get used to your dreams and develop a sense of immediate vision of your dreams. Then, develop your desire for things. When you can find that you are dreaming in your dreams, and your desire to do something is strong enough, You can do what you want in certain dreams..."

Lu Yiming scratched his hair and tried to remember the scene when he had a lucid dream in high school.

It happened to me once when I was taking a nap, and it felt like I was out of body...

"There is also a third method, which is to use some special drugs to enter a semi-coma state. However, these drugs are usually related to mental illness and cannot be taken for a long time."

The discussion in the conference room gradually became louder.

In the eyes of this group of scientists, dreams are indeed a virgin land that has not had time to be developed...

They began to study with interest the connection between dreams and psychic abilities. Of course, the main conflict now is still the issue of lucid dreaming.

Lu Yiming raised his hand and asked: "Professor, even if you enter the state of lucid dreaming, how should you control the dream?"

The professor replied: "Lucid dreams themselves can be controlled by subjective will, just like your fingers and your body. As long as you realize that this is a dream, you will have such authority."

"According to the information we have compiled, the first step is dream verification, which is to verify the dream. You must know that it is a dream before you can transform it into a lucid dream."

"As long as you know it's a dream, you can do things that would be difficult to do normally."

"This is equivalent to a backdoor that opens permissions. The simpler the backdoor, the better. Hint it for a long time and let it become a part of your subconscious, so that you can verify your dreams."

Professor Li said a lot of confusing things. Lu Yiming scratched his head and touched his ears. He half understood and half didn't understand. He decided to go back and give it a try when he went to bed today to save himself nightmares every day.

The other professors were even more enthusiastic about the discussion. People who didn't know it thought it was a large group of civilian scientists discussing pseudoscience.

"There are many aspects of dream detection... To give a few examples, licking your nose with your tongue, normal people can't actually lick it, right? But if you suddenly lick it, it means you may be dreaming. So you can identify it It’s a standard dream detection mechanism.”

Speaking of which, some people actually tried to lick their noses.

"The other thing is to look at the nose. In reality, you can definitely see the nose whether intentionally or not, but your brain subconsciously ignores it. In fact, you can observe it. In fact, no matter where you look, there is always a shadow at the bottom of your field of vision. That's the nose over there, but we never cared about it."

"However, in a dream, you can see the nose if you look intentionally, but you may not be able to see the nose if you look unconsciously. This is also a good method of dream testing."

"For this type of dream testing method, the simpler, the better, and only if you have long-term hints to yourself can it play a real role."

This discussion meeting eventually evolved into a teaching class on lucid dreaming.

However, everyone was listening attentively and there was no distraction.

Because, 2 months of survival time means the future fate of the Unkai!

As long as a single person can survive in the Nightmare Continent for 2 months, it means that the hibernation method can be truly implemented! !

Think about it, excluding a large number of civilians, thousands of soldiers plus some laboratory staff, doctors, etc., the total adds up to 8,000 to 10,000 people, divided into 12 teams in total, and everyone takes turns to work 1- 2 months time.

I used lucid dreaming to survive this one-month nightmare.

After one month expired, I couldn't stand it any longer and hibernated immediately.

Then let the hibernators who have just woken up take turns to work, wouldn't it be possible to get through the long night in Yanghe?

And there is no need to worry about sudden risks such as fires, power outages, etc. after collective hibernation.

Because in every time period, a certain population is awake. These awake people are technicians and soldiers, with certain combat effectiveness and the ability to maintain the Unkai.

This is much more reliable than if no one is awake!

Finally, after waiting for the dark night above Yang River to pass, Yunhai left this world and looked for the next new continent!

When the plan was discussed, everyone was excited and the discussion was so loud that even people in the corridor heard it.

Everyone thinks they have found a fairly reliable way out!

Even Lu Yiming was no exception. He participated in the formulation of the hibernation plan until 12 o'clock at night.

"It would be great if there is a way... Now the crows in the sky are constantly warning, 'Run away, run away'. We have to guard against this weird phenomenon."

In fact, some people also doubt whether the signal brought by this group of crows is a trap...

But after much deliberation, I can't find a particularly reasonable conspiracy theory.

The civilization that sent this signal may have a higher level of application of supernatural power than the Unkai, so there is no need to engage in such conspiracies.

Therefore, it is most likely a sign of goodwill.

"This hibernation plan seems more reasonable. Everyone is awake for one month and hibernates for 11 months. If you are awake for two months, there may be uncontrollable location risks, but one month is definitely a very safe time."

"Then there are the technical details of hibernation. We need to figure out all the details as soon as possible. There are no old people in their 70s or 80s on the Unkai. The average age is relatively young, but there are still some newborn babies..."

"The hibernation conditions of these infants and young children must also be taken into consideration."

When all the experts left the conference room, they were still discussing various issues.

Since he found a good plan, Lu Yiming was naturally in a good mood. He said goodbye to his companions and said, "Go to bed early."

"If there are crows flying in the sky, you can catch some more."

"Don't hurt them."

Returning home with brisk steps, I found that Jin Lili had fallen asleep quietly, and I was too embarrassed to disturb her. So after washing up, I lay on the bed and hugged her as if she were a pillow.

Jin Lili's body temperature is a little higher than that of ordinary girls. It feels soft and warm to the touch, and is very comfortable.

However, it was late at night and it was impossible to have more activities. After Lu Yiming closed his eyes, he tried the "dream control technique" he just learned today.

"Using lucid dreams to resist nightmares... it's really an interesting phenomenon."

Even if he can forcibly transform his dream into a lucid dream state through the means of mind possession, it is always good to master more skills, so naturally he cannot give up easily.

He muttered to himself: "I'm going to have another nightmare... It's really troublesome. I want to see what kind of nightmare it is this time."

Due to the influence of the mysterious curse, whenever he sleeps now, he will inevitably have nightmares, without exception. And in most cases, after waking up, you will forget what you did.

Now that you have mastered the technique of lucid dreaming, you should not be able to forget quickly.

"I don't know if it will succeed."

He lay on the bed and closed his eyes silently.
