Chapter 3, The Interpretation of Dreams: A Strange World Deep Within the Soul
Dreams are an extension of the soul's activities, and one's own dreams represent the "deep consciousness of the soul," recording all memories since birth
Pfft
He suddenly couldn't help but lift the swaddled baby high above his head, experiencing an unprecedented feeling that he could not quite articulate, "In the past, I must strive..."
As he thought this, he looked around and felt as if he were in an endless, profound sea of dark fear, like a diver continuously swimming in the altitude of his mind, constantly entering the boundless, shadowy deep sea
Boom
Zhu Zhengwei watched his own birth in the dream.
He is a boy
That is the dream of an ordinary person
Looking at the newborn self in the swaddling blanket, this adorable baby who is sound asleep evokes a strange sense of inexplicability
Endless white blinding light surged out from the gap in the door
Continue to dive
... ...
Cough cough cough
The crack in the door is gradually widening, ultimately resulting in a thunderous break.
Entering the dreams of others is certainly intriguing, but it is also too absurd
Light
The infant version of oneself suddenly bursts into tears
I have no dream? I have leaped over the unconscious surface of dreams
It is fortunate that it was just a dream
Zheng Wei opens his eyes
Zheng Wei was stunned and had not yet had the chance to react
dive
Time is flowing backward
After waiting outside for a while, taking advantage of the absence of others, Zhu Zhengwei quietly entered the room
An ordinary birth, an ordinary family
One moment it is a villa, the next it is a swimming pool, a kaleidoscope of wonders
My eye corner
What have I seen?" Zhu Zhengwei stared wide-eyed in disbelief, "My birth?"
Unlike others, my dream is fixed; it can even be said that it is not a dream, but a segment of fundamental memory, involving the essence of the soul, fully recording my past life
Puff
He began to look strange, returning to the past of his dreams, speaking motivational yet toxic words to his infant self, only to end up hurting himself instead
Is it possible that due to one's own uniqueness, one's dreams differ from those of others
However, he increasingly erupted with an idea
"Whose dream shall we travel through on a budget tonight?"
Zheng Wei calmly gazed at the two ordinary individuals in the countryside
During the era of reading, in elementary school, in the almost blurred childhood period, even as the carousel of memories continued to spin, Zhu Zhengwei found that he had actually seen the scene of his own birth
He looked at his biological parents whom he had never seen before
Suddenly, Zhu Zhengwei felt a sharp pain in the corner of his eye
Although I once indulged in a youthful fantasy of my parents being wealthy, the twenty-year period has now come to an end, and the scenario of the young master returning has unfolded
The entire morning class has passed. Since last night, when he delved into the unconscious and the random dreams of others without sequence, at noon, Zhu Zhengwei turned off his computer in the dormitory and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling
Wow wow wow
Everything returns to its source, and Zhu Zhengwei has seen the initial fragments of his life
This is a chaotic brainstorming session, an activity of conscious engagement of the cerebral cortex, where anything can happen
Wow!
The eldest child is already too much to support, and if the second child is truly ill, we might as well secretly dispose of it; after all, if hidden well, only a few neighboring families in the village know that I am pregnant.
Since childhood, I have never had much feeling for what is called parents, but seeing them now from the depths of my memory inevitably stirs many emotions
A baby was born in the countryside
Bang
Zhu Zhengwei hurriedly placed the baby back in its original position and left through the window
In the world, apart from the legendary hyperthymesia patients, there are essentially no individuals who can recall the images of themselves as infants just after birth
Accompanied by the noise, Zhu Zhengwei crouched beneath the window of weeds outside the house, eavesdropping on the scene, witnessing his own birth from the perspective of an onlooker
Amidst the boundless radiance, he instantly entered within, and before his eyes, a profound clarity emerged, revealing the deepest layers of consciousness and dreams that humanity had never ventured into.
Deep and dark, one cannot see their own fingers when reaching out
Zhengwei Zhu begins to sleep
Having traversed the surface of the unconscious dream, having passed through the illuminated zone of the hundred-meter ocean, I have entered a realm where sunlight does not reach, deep and dark!
Perhaps it is different
But what about entering one's own dream
tear mole
And yet, I am able to see in this deep dream?
But soon, Zhu Zhengwei had a suspicion
Embracing this increasingly curious thought, during the lunch break, Zhu Zhengwei began to dream again
Push it away forcefully
These are my parents
The sound of splashing or crashing
What is my dream like...
One is an orphan
It won't be like Da Wa who is sick, right
You are truly unfortunate, but the days ahead will be better
What the hell! How did the child stab the pencil? Soon, an angry roar came from inside the room
He painfully covered the corner of his eye, "Could it be that..."
Suddenly, the pencil holder on the shelf was knocked over, and a pencil fell, its sharpened tip pricking the corner of the baby's right eye
Blood spread into a blood flower at the delicate, fair skin of the infant's eye corner, surging endlessly
Creak!
He recalled the pencil that had just been stuck in the corner of a newborn's eye, and hurried to the bathroom. Unsteadily lifting his head to look in the mirror, he saw a dry and resolute face, on which a tear mole gradually emerged beneath the corner of his eye, exuding an oddly ethereal and dreamlike beauty
However, he found that after falling asleep, he had no "surface activities of the soul's unconsciousness" at all
Countless brain matter and neural cells streaked past like shooting stars, while strange neural tendrils spread out, releasing a deep-sea consciousness world suddenly engraved deep within the genes, as if it had been violently pierced by itself
Boom
The lights of the farmhouse were suddenly illuminated, and hurried footsteps approached
Due to the limitations of the times and medical care, it was quite common to be abandoned in those uncivilized rural mountainous areas of that era
Abandoned due to genetic disease
The baby has been born
One sees the deeply rooted area of consciousness that lies at the very core of the soul, which records all information and codes from its deepest origins. Rather than being a dream, it is more accurately described as the deepest activity space of the soul's fundamental roots
dive
Soon, in the midst of complete darkness, he felt as if he had inadvertently collided with some kind of barrier, a mysterious door adorned with the textures of flesh and brain, which had already begun to crack.
