Chapter 1, Nightmare

No, it is a different storyline based on the same background, akin to the experiences of a single individual. On the first day, he dreamed of a world undergoing tremendous changes, with unexpected transformations occurring throughout the entire world. On the second day, he encountered new experiences. The third day continued to extend upon the dreams of the second day... He dreamt for thirty days, yet in the dream, he lived through thirty months, facing hardships and enduring a life of unbearable suffering

Liu Yang nodded

Excellent psychologists are often also experts in lie detection; they excel at discerning whether someone is lying through various subtle cues, and they themselves function as precise lie detectors

"Stingy." Liu Li murmured discontentedly

At that time, he was wearing an old gray jacket, holding a hat in his hand, with disheveled hair and a somewhat dazed expression

Liu Yang hesitated for a long time and said, "That was a very terrifying dream"

"Damn it!" Yuan Chenfei shouted, rushing over in a flurry of steps to snatch the chicken leg rice into his arms

Liu Yang finally looked at Yuan Chenfei

Yuan Chenfei rushed over and forcefully pulled his hand away

There was a hint of anger in his gaze

Then, Yuan Chenfei walked over and sat down opposite Liu Yang. He glanced at the materials in his hand and said: "Mr. Liu, you mentioned here that you have been experiencing frequent nightmares recently, which have prevented you from sleeping peacefully, is that correct?"

He clutched his neck and shouted desperately, as if he were about to strangle himself.

Liu Yang! Liu Yang!" Yuan Chenfei shouted loudly

Liu Li was left in a daze

His dream is highly systematic

Yes. Liu Yang nodded vigorously: "I always have the same dream, and the scenes in the dream are very real, which frightens me. I can't sleep well every night, I can't rest, and I have no mind to work. I am always drowsy..."

It is precisely because the vast majority of dreams are fragmented, abstract, neither real nor systematic, and do not possess any complete structure or system.

Yuan Chenfei paused for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said

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

Yuan Chenfei shook his head helplessly: "This is not an illness, it is a problem"

How specific and substantial is it

Mr. Liu?" Yuan Chenfei called out carefully while holding the documents

In the field of psychology, extraordinary cases are never in short supply, and various astonishing psychological disorders frequently challenge the perspectives and experiences of psychologists

... ...

Indeed. Surprising, isn't it? It's like writing a novel in a dream, day after day... I have never seen a case like this before," Yuan Chenfei said with a hint of excitement

"Are all dreams like this?" Liu Li asked

Yuan Chenfei interrupted her, saying: "You know I can tell whether someone is lying or not"

Liu Li appeared much calmer, as a skeptic, she was inherently suspicious of all possibilities

His attitude softened this evidently somewhat tense man

It is that kind of very specific, very substantial dream

... ...

Liu Li was taken aback, then threw her head back and laughed heartily, her feet flailing in the air, while she shouted "Roar, roar, roar," resembling a complete madwoman

Oh? Liu Li became interested: "Then where is it not simple?"

As a top graduate from Stanford's psychology program, Yuan Chenfei stands out among his peers

After that day, Liu Yang never returned to Yuan Chenfei's clinic

He swallowed and said

I never expected that less than six months after opening my own psychological clinic, I would encounter such a remarkable case

It is important to understand that dreams themselves typically do not possess a complete narrative structure; they are merely a necessary physiological phenomenon that occurs during the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep phase. This is an active physiological process characterized by superficial elements, along with memory activities of a sensory nature and extraordinary associations.

Liu Yang remains silent

Ah! A piercing scream emanated from the office

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

"Experiencing the same nightmare repeatedly?" Liu Li's eyes brightened: "This indicates that the dreamer has an unresolved issue psychologically, a term in psychology known as 'complex', which is commonly referred to as 'psychological knot'. This complex is directly related to the theme and emotions of the recurring dream. For instance, if one frequently dreams of 'exams', it may be related to psychological factors concerning 'approval' or 'anxiety'..."

After going a bit crazy for a while, Liu Li stopped her actions and looked at Yuan Chenfei. Seeing that he was eating very slowly, she knew he was deep in thought and called out, "Have you encountered another strange patient? What is it this time?"

Yuan Chenfei responded: "A complete structure, accurate timing, sufficient characters, and a rich plot... just like a movie, no, a TV series, everything that should be there is present"

They ... ... severed my head

Liu Li pouted and replied: "I don't know why, but if I order another serving, no matter what it is, I will have absolutely no appetite for it. However, if it's someone else's, I will really want to eat it. Hey, you are a psychologist, why don't you tell me what kind of psychological disorder this is?"

Waving in front of Liu Yang: "This can help you fall asleep"

His two eyes stared fixedly at Yuan Chenfei, their gaze hollow and vacant

What Yuan Chenfei encountered is undoubtedly one such case. If he can trace this case and make detailed records and analyses, it will undoubtedly be of great help to his future work and reputation.

Liu Yang spoke, his face once again revealing an expression of fear

The patient named Liu Yang has been experiencing nightmares about the apocalypse for the past month

Upon exiting the office, Yuan Chenfei noticed that Liu Li had already finished her meal and was now eyeing his chicken leg rice with great interest

Liu Yang seemed to awaken from a dream, his eyes showing a hint of vitality. He shrank his neck slightly towards Yuan Chenfei as a gesture of acknowledgment, saying, "You, hello, Doctor Yuan."

Yuan Chenfei smiled and said: "Random speculation does not help improve your level of psychology. This patient's case is very rare, and it is not appropriate to draw any conclusions at this time; long-term observation is required. I used hypnosis on him, first allowing him to sleep for a while..."

Liu Yang cautiously sat down, but his bottom did not settle properly, as if he could jump up at any moment

Yes. Liu Yang stared at him with wide eyes: "I dreamed of... the descent of gods and demons, and the world undergoing drastic changes"

Systematic

Yuan Chenfei smiled and said, "Alright, stop flaunting your little knowledge of psychology. If it were just that, things would be simple."

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

"Did you have another nightmare?" Yuan Chenfei asked

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

His strength is truly remarkable

After much effort, Liu Yang's arms were pulled apart, and he coughed desperately, his pupils wide open, his eyes filled with fear

The words have not been finished

"Are all the contents of these dreams interconnected?" Liu Li asked in surprise

Horror

Hello, please take a seat. "Yuan Chenfei pointed to the large sofa in the room.

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

"Do not worry, I will not let you have nightmares," Yuan Chenfei reassured him. "Oh, before that, could you tell me about the content of that dream?"

"If you are not full, you can always order another portion, why do you always want to take from others?" Yuan Chenfei looked at his assistant with a headache

Liu Yang seems to have finally awakened

She asked with a stern expression, "Is it possible that guy is just making up a story? You know there are not a few patients like that..."

Yuan Chenfei put down his meal and quickly rushed towards the office. He pushed open the door and saw Liu Yang had already rolled off the sofa and onto the floor

"You seem a bit nervous. But please trust me, okay? You can completely relax here with me," Yuan Chenfei said in the most amiable tone possible.

However, now Yuan Chenfei claims that some people's dreams are as vivid as a television drama, complete with time, place, characters, and plot, which is truly incredible

He stared blankly at the ceiling, not saying a word

Can you tell me what happened in the dream
