catch the dream

"It's really cold." Fu Liqun followed behind, wrapping his scarf around Yu Hao.This action instantly pulled Yu Hao out of the emptiness and loneliness. He smelled the warmth of the unfamiliar "other boyfriend" on the scarf, which reminded him of Zhou Sheng. Baoding guessed it would be cold today, no Know how Zhou Sheng's business trip is.

Yu Hao asked: "Are you hungry?"

Fu Liqun said: "I ate some stewed vegetables with Mr. Jin."

In Xiaoxue, Fu Liqun was dragging the suitcase with one hand, carrying the two bags of himself and Yu Hao on his shoulders, and holding an umbrella in the other hand, but Yu Hao didn't need to carry anything, walking on the quiet street, the street lamps were shining yellow .

"Teacher Jin would actually talk so much to you," Yu Hao said with emotion, "It's really unbelievable."

Fu Liqun said blankly: "Huh? He seems to know me and what happened to Nanlu years ago. We were chatting, and I said I play basketball. He used to be the captain of the basketball team in the factory, so we started chatting. He usually talks Is it very little?"

"He talked a lot," Yu Hao said, "but he never mentioned his past."

Fu Liqun said: "Occasionally I want to talk about the past, I just happened to meet."

Yu Hao's understanding of Jin Weicheng's glorious history is limited to the rumors that he won awards and beat up a certain leader of the Qinghua Times.Today's facts are too complicated, Yu Hao feels that he needs a day or two to sort out his thoughts and find some kind of truth hidden under this intricate matter.

But in any case, Fu Liqun's arrival made him very happy, he could temporarily forget some troubles, and talk about some unnutritious but interesting things.Fu Liqun returned his house in Ying City, and decided to enroll in a German class in Beijing, complete the exam, and apply for studying abroad.After discussing with Yu Hao, Zhou Sheng decided to take him in for free, even if he is willing to pay some rent.

Fu Liqun naturally asked to share the rent, so Yu Hao's financial pressure was relieved by a large part. The rent of this house is really too expensive, and the problem of eating is just an extra pair of chopsticks.

"Wow, that's not bad." Fu Liqun said, "It's similar to the layout at home! The kitchen is open!"

"You can only sleep in the living room." Yu Hao said, "The sofa can be pulled out and used as a bed, anyway, it's only half a year, let's make do with it. If I'm on a business trip, you and Zhou Sheng are allowed to sleep on the bed together."

"Hey." Fu Liqun said, "You never pick the little ones. Can I climb into your bed when the young master is away?"

"Uh." Yu Hao said, "It's better not to, I'm afraid that I'll sleep drowsily and treat you as Zhou Sheng..."

Fu Liqun laughed, and Yu Hao said angrily, "It's really nothing to sleep together, it's just a matter of habit..."

"Can you hug people like Xiao Ou?" Fu Liqun said solemnly, "Xiao Ou only hugs people and doesn't kick them."

Yu Hao didn't understand the meaning of Fu Liqun's words, so he replied, "Oh, then what?"

"Why did Kaikai say that a person who sleeps and doesn't kick will kick?" Fu Liqun said seriously.

"Brother, you're too gossip!" Yu Hao changed his mind, "But why? Let's hear it."

"Because Xiaoou didn't kick him." Fu Liqun said, "I must have accidentally hugged him when he fell asleep. Kaikai was afraid that you would associate it, so he hurriedly said that he was kicked out of bed, and just covered it up."

Yu Hao said: "If you have something in your words, your life must be too complicated!" After thinking about it, he said, "I'll make you a midnight snack. Zhou Sheng made a lot of dumplings before going out."

Fu Liqun shook out the tablecloth he brought from home and spread it out. Yu Hao himself realized that, before he knew it, his home in Beijing was more and more like his home in Yingshi.

Zhou Sheng finally called and asked him if he was back home, and to talk about the matter with Huang Ting in detail. Yu Hao started the video and showed Zhou Sheng the pot of dumplings and Fu Liqun. Fu Liqun was also videoing with Cen Shan, so Yu Hao Hao and Fu Liqun put the two phones facing each other and let them chat, Fu Liqun went to take a shower, and Yu Hao went to cook the dumplings.

"What the hell!" Zhou Sheng said in FaceTime, "How did it become me and my sister-in-law video? Two phones away, what about people? Wife, are you crazy?"

Cen Shan: "Crazy, I'm dead, go to bed early, it's almost twelve o'clock in China."

Yanqing, late at night.

Huang Ting was brought into the underground research center. Zhao Liang walked in front, and his assistant led the way. Huang Ting stopped in front of a huge computer.

With his legs slightly apart, he stepped on the steel plate in front of the instrument.

"When did you set up this device?" Huang Ting said in a deep voice.

Zhao Liang replied: "Two years ago, when I left the investigation team, only a few people knew about the cutting-edge technology borrowed from STA."

Huang Ting was wearing leather pants and boots, and was wrapped in the down windbreaker. Zhao Liang explained: "In the beginning, this instrument was used for brain wave analysis and research. There are only two in the world. The integrator is proposed. After using it, STA was very supportive and shipped the instrument here, hoping that we can get this epoch-making research result.”

Huang Ting walked to the instrument, observed the two reclining chairs, then turned around and saw a small magnetic levitation platform.

"As long as we fetch things," Zhao Liang said, "we will soon draw many conclusions, and these conclusions are of special significance to China, and even to all mankind."

Huang Ting glanced at the researchers passing by, and then looked at the records displayed on the console. There were five desks around, and there was a complex small computer in front of each desk, which was doing data analysis.

Huang Ting said: "Teacher Ren didn't agree with your proposal at the beginning, I really can't help."

"Huang Ting." Zhao Liang said, "You can't be pedantic. You are a sensible person. You should stay here for a few days and think about it."

Huang Ting frowned, and Zhao Liang said, "By the way, I will treat your illness, and I must take good care of my body." Then he patted Huang Ting's shoulder and left.

Fu Liqun and Yu Hao finished eating a bowl of dumplings. Yu Hao felt that every time the three of them ate together, it was like feeding pigs. The bowls and bowls were all large.After eating, Fu Liqun consciously washed the dishes, mopped the floor, and cleaned up the slightly messy home.Yu Hao didn't go to work tomorrow, but Fu Liqun was tired all day, so he let him go to bed early, then he went to bed, turned on the computer, and began to read the documents downloaded today.

The collective unconscious, the deepest of the three layers of the personality structure.The surface consciousness, the deep consciousness which is the subconscious, and the bottom layer of the collective consciousness... The paper was written by a Polish psychologist, citing Jung's description.Jung compared the spiritual world of all people in the world to countless small islands, and the islands on the sea are just the surface consciousness of people.The near land area, where the tide ebbs and flows, is the deep consciousness.

And deeper, there is a vast world submerged in sea water. Whether it is human beings or animals, life forms with independent consciousness and the spiritual world are all connected to each other under the seabed.

This is really a very metaphysical theory. In the Jungian psychology course, this paragraph is not specifically mentioned. Most theories believe that the collective subconscious is innate, that is, part of the historical experience of the ethnic group that is engraved in the genes.It never acts directly on everyone, but it plays an imperceptible role in the behavior of many groups, such as religion, art, culture and so on.Humans identify themselves as connected to the world through the collective unconscious.

is it possible?Yu Hao glanced at it once before, but didn't take it to heart. After all, the exam doesn't test these contents. In the field of materialism, scholars obviously don't agree with Jung's view that tends to be mystical.But isn't the deepest layer of the dream, the deepest part of the conscious world they have ever reached, the ruins of memory?

Could it be that under the ruins of memory, there is another world?

Yu Hao thought about it carefully. The second page of the Jinwulun analysis report that he briefly saw at Huang Ting's home, Huang Ting was obviously restricted by his profession and didn't realize the importance of the second page, but Yu Hao knew it just by glancing at it. This report is very important.

Although it has never provided an answer to the origin of the Golden Crow Wheel device, it has put forward a possible guess about its operating mechanism. This guess coincides with a deduction made by him, Zhou Sheng, and Chen Yekai.That is: the Golden Crow Wheel is an instrument that intervenes in the collective subconscious.Through the connection between everyone and the collective subconscious, another completely independent of reality is formed, which is transformed into a brand new dream world after being processed by real experience.

The report uses another metaphor to describe this situation, calling dreams a "giant tree". Everyone's dream is a leaf on this tree, and the dreams of people are all connected.In theory, as long as a suitable medium is found, everyone can go to any leaf through the branches and branches, or even the veins on the trunk.

This medium is the Golden Crow Wheel.

【Have you brought the Golden Crow Wheel with you? 】Yu Hao sent Zhou Sheng a WeChat message.

Zhou Sheng sent a video, Yu Hao answered it, and turned up the bedside lamp a little.

"Not asleep yet?" Zhou Sheng was smoking outside the express hotel.

"No." Yu Hao said, "I got some information from Huang Ting, which may inspire me a bit."

Zhou Sheng confirmed that Yu Hao was not held hostage, and replied, "In the old place."

Yu Hao said "hmm", and Zhou Sheng asked again: "What did you find?"

Yu Hao originally wanted Zhou Sheng to do an experiment with him at night, but since the Golden Crow Wheel was at home, he had to wait until he came back.Yu Hao hung up the video and recalled the content of the report, which also mentioned "spiritual channel".But that is for the individual, after passing through the subconscious world, at the farther end of the subconscious is a part of the collective subconscious of human beings.

But theoretically, no one can get there.The author of the paper combined Freud's dream theory for analysis, and the leapfrogging of consciousness can only achieve a single-layer effect, just like when a person reaches a limit when diving, he can no longer dive.

When awake, most people can only go beyond the surface consciousness and touch the edge of dreams, that is, rely on "daydreams" to let their thinking go and be active in the conscious world.

In sleep, some people can occasionally enter the subconscious world for a short time.It is no longer possible to break through the boundaries of subconsciousness and enter the collective subconsciousness of mankind.Jung, Freud and a certain kind of analyst have all tried to find the mysterious channel in the deepest part of the subconscious, but they all failed in the end.

It is not ruled out that some people have arrived there briefly in history, but limited by memory, impression, and many limitations of physical conditions, no one can clearly explain what it is after waking up.It was finally embellished by metaphysicists, who put forward the metaphysical statement of "world consciousness"...

"Brother!" Yu Hao jumped out of the bed and pushed the door to go out. Fu Liqun was lying on the sofa with earphones on, looking at his mobile phone. He was still asleep, so he glanced at him, patted the place beside him, and signaled him to come and sleep.

"What?" Fu Liqun took off his earphones and asked, "Can't you sleep alone?"

"I remember, in Loulan's dream, you were unconscious for a while?" Yu Hao asked while sitting by the bed.

Fu Liqun replied: "Yes, what?"

Yu Hao said: "What kind of experience is it like to be unconscious in a dream?"

Fu Liqun thought for a while, put down his phone, and looked puzzled.

"Forgot." Fu Liqun said.

Yu Hao: "Try to recall, is there still a dream in the dream? What kind of place is it? Have you met anyone?"

Yu Hao discussed with Zhou Sheng. The original source of the discussion was "how to wake up a person who is asleep in a dream", but he remembered that the concept of "dream within a dream" had no necessary connection with the layers of passages in the conscious world. A person is still in a dream after waking up from a dream, and is still in a dream after waking up again, one layer after another, and each dream has a unique scene.

"Dream within a dream?" Fu Liqun said a bit confused, "It's not a dream within a dream, I had a dream within a dream, and the situation was different from that day."

"What's the difference?" Yu Hao asked again.

Fu Liqun said: "I am in a very empty place."

"Is there light?" Yu Hao said, "Is it the sea, the desert, or the fog?"

Fu Liqun recalled with difficulty, saying: "Let me think about it, there was nothing there at the beginning, and I didn't know who I was, I couldn't even see myself... just..."

Yu Hao asked: "You can only feel the existence of 'I', but you can't feel the entity?"

"Yes." Fu Liqun said, "Although they are all from the first-person perspective, you can feel the difference. That is, the body is nowhere to be found, and only the consciousness is floating around."

"What about when you come back?" Yu Hao asked.

"There's a golden flame ahead." Fu Liqun remembered it clearly, "It's like a door opened and sucked me in."

"How did you get into this... space in a coma?"

"Where did you find me?" Fu Liqun asked back.

Yu Hao described the details of the day when he found Fu Liqun, and Fu Liqun replied: "That's it. I dreamed that I was in the gym, and I was thirsty and hungry that day. I couldn’t get out no matter how I walked, the gym kept sinking…the floor was all separated, like a monster trying to eat me.”

Yu Hao pondered for a moment, then Fu Liqun snapped his fingers and said, "I talked about this feeling with Kaikai later, and he said that he once had a dream: at the bottom of the well in Chichen Itza, there was his home. But no matter how he ran, he couldn't get out."

"Hmm..." Yu Hao frowned and nodded.

Fu Liqun asked: "Did you find anything?"

Yu Hao shook his head and said, "Good night, brother."

When he returned to the bed, many complicated dreams and materials were entangled with real thoughts. In a hazy moment, he always felt that there was a very crucial clue, but he couldn't catch it.

He turned off the light, put one hand under the pillow, touched the Golden Crow Wheel that Zhou Sheng stuffed at the bottom of the pillowcase, and took it out to have a look.In the dark night, the Golden Crow Wheel didn't shine, and when it wasn't in Zhou Sheng's hands, it was almost indistinguishable from a handicraft.The only difference is that Yu Hao is the only one who can feel that it is it, Ou Qihang, Chen Yekai, and Fu Liqun can't do it.Every time when Zhou Sheng passed the Golden Crow Wheel to them, the friends didn't have Yu Hao's intuitive perception.

In other words... he has also established a certain connection with the Golden Crow Wheel: an area between Zhou Sheng who can directly activate it and has no awareness of it.

"Its fluctuations have not been detected for quite some time."

In the north of Yanqing, in the underground conference room, Zhao Liang was having a meeting with several researchers.

Zhao Liang: "This time is inaccurate. Before losing the signal, they activated the brain wave integrator at least once in the southern land."

The researcher said: "Maybe it's because the distance is too far to capture."

Zhao Liang flipped through the report and said, "They were intercepted in the hotel. They must still be using it that day, otherwise they would not have been caught right away."

The report showed that the last time the integrator was detected to be turned on was in Beijing. Zhao Liang even sent someone to install a receiver while they were on a business trip. As long as Zhou Sheng used it at his residence in Beijing, the research center would immediately get the signal. .And for a period of time in the middle, the distance was too far, which caused great interference to the receiver.

In the end, Huang Ting unexpectedly acted first and broke the previous agreement.

"Let's all go out." Zhao Liang said, "Pay close attention to the receiver."

The researchers left the conference room one after another, leaving Zhao Liang and his assistants.

The assistant said: "The things are now in Mr. Ren's hands, and Huang Ting is unwilling to cooperate. It is very difficult to get them again."

Zhao Liang replied: "One person, one piece of equipment. The equipment was taken away, but the person is still there. Huang Ting is a stubborn guy. How about Zhou Sheng? How would you like to talk to Zhou Sheng?"

"Teacher Qin takes him very seriously." The assistant replied, "It's not easy to get in touch with."

Zhao Liang thought for a moment, then shook his head: "We must find a breakthrough. If there is no opportunity, we must create an opportunity."

The assistant flipped through the files in his hand, the files of Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao were in the folder, and replied: "Maybe Yu Hao can communicate better than Zhou Sheng."

"His vigilance is higher than that of Zhou Sheng." Zhao Liang said, "We don't have many resources to use right now. If Yu Hao is unwilling to cooperate, it will be even more troublesome."

The assistant said: "Where is Chen Yekai? Try to start with him?"

"He is very close to Huang Ting, I suspect he has been bought by Lao Ren." Zhao Liang said, "However, you can give it a try."
