Chapter 19 'Dream Control Method' and 'Road Signs'
"Caron, I didn't expect that you have already stepped into the ranks of knowledgeable people."
Viadlin was playing with a small essential oil evaporator in his hand.
"Ah?" Fan Ning made a surprised expression.
But he wasn't actually surprised.
The pale golden [135/100] was still visible in front of him. He had already guessed that the feeling of something overflowing from his previous performance of "Fantasy Impromptu" was exactly what Viadlin called "inspiration."
”.
That is to say, the strength of one's own spirit is temporarily unable to be transformed into substantial power.
The means of activation is to promote the knowledgeable.
"Did you study the dream control method with Anton?" Viadlin asked, "In the dream in that high tower attic, it took you a very short time to detect the special indicators and successfully experience the dream.
And your control ability is very good in lucid dreaming."
"What exactly is dream control?" Fan Ning finally had the opportunity to ask in detail, "Looking at it now, it is indeed true. He and I both studied dream control, but I didn't know the term at that time."
"When I first learned about this word, I was reading the relic given to me by Teacher Anton. I could roughly understand what it was literally, but I didn't fully understand the meaning and function behind it."
"At first, Teacher Anton suggested that I record my dreams, saying that this would improve my chances of having lucid dreams and gain a lot of musical inspiration that I cannot experience in reality."
"But he did say that if you practice dream control to the extreme, you may get some more magical revelations."
"Dreams are inherently unconscious and easy to forget." Viadlin said, "As just mentioned, the place where dreams arrive is the astral layer, which is the fuzzy area where the appearance of the world and the will meet. People with low inspiration
Ordinary people often can only rely on their subconscious mind to roam in the star realm."
"So in most cases, you don't realize that you just had a dream until you open your eyes, and the memory is only complete at this moment, and it will be quickly forgotten. Many people forget almost as soon as they get up and wash up.
Only a very small number of dreams are so impressive that the main objects or emotions in them can be remembered for a long time.”
Viadlin paused, turned around, picked up the porcelain cup and took a few sips. The cup was almost as big as his face, and it contained fruity cold tea.
"But there is a chance to change this situation, and that is to rely on the dream control method!"
"Since this is how most knowledgeable people start, the simple dream control information can barely be regarded as a low-level hidden knowledge. There are countless versions with different details around the world, but the main steps are similar: Note
Dream, detect dreams, know dreams, control dreams.”
"Make it a habit every day. As soon as you wake up from a dream, while forgetting has just begun, recall the dream as much as possible. The more details, the better, and record the content."
"After a period of time, when you have enough recall material of the dream content, the second step can be to try dream testing."
"Summarize their commonalities and find the ones that are more closely related to reality. When you encounter these similar scenes in reality, ask yourself more questions and ask yourself whether you are dreaming."
"In addition, there are some common scenes, such as erroneous clocks, incomprehensible text carriers, objects that can be broken to the back of the hand, and objects that can be passed through with arms. Frequent attempts and questions in reality gradually form a conditioned reflex.
Habit."
"Of course, don't choose dangerous things to test your dreams. It's absolutely not advisable to use 'you can fly after jumping off a building'. Painful stimulation is useless in most cases - there are all kinds of feelings in dreams."
"When you have formed this habit in reality and reflexively ask yourself questions in a certain dream, and then suddenly realize it, you have successfully understood the dream. About 10% of ordinary people can do this. According to
According to knowledgeable people, ordinary people can enter this kind of lucid dream when they train their inspiration to three times the average level."
"At this point, there is only the last step to control the dream. You may be too excited after knowing the dream and fall back into a normal dream or wake up, or you may only be able to hold on for a few short breaths. You have no control over yourself, the environment, and the dream.
The control of the characters is not arbitrary. Sometimes the flight direction and speed cannot be controlled, and sometimes the 'superpowers' you try to give yourself cannot take effect. This depends on whether subsequent inspiration can continue to improve."
"The vast majority of ordinary people can only stop here. Generally speaking, only when the inspiration reaches ten times the average level of ordinary people, can the spirit be separated from the soul, tear open the edge of the star world, enter the migration layer, and become a knowing person."
"According to my assessment of your performance in the dream just now, the inspiration intensity should be close to this multiple."
"Especially at the end, with my help, you persisted in peeking at Yiyong for three seconds. I originally estimated it to be one second."
"It seems that you learned real musical techniques from Anton, which led to artistic inspiration far beyond ordinary people.
Fan Ning thought to himself: "Is Caroln's talent or foundation so good? No, is it possible that it is caused by the large amount of classical music in my memory after time travel? Or it is the fusion of the two."
He asked: "Did something happen to Teacher Anton when he was entering the Shifting Layer and being promoted to a knowledgeable person?"
"Not necessarily, there are many possibilities that need to be verified." Viadlin shook his head.
He raised the large porcelain cup again and took a sip of fruity cold tea: "You have to know that experiencing lucid dreams too frequently is inherently dangerous. The astral world is not completely safe. There are many nightmares and evil thoughts, and even transference.
Indescribable things from the surge layer will come to this area and can easily cause mental harm to ordinary people."
"The factor of age is also a possibility. After a person is 35 years old, the effect of exercising inspiration is far less than when he was young. If he wants to be promoted to a knowledgeable person, his chances will be greatly reduced. But Anton is actually special. He is a profound and accomplished person.
Artists have far more inspiration than ordinary people. Age is a possibility, but it is unlikely."
"There is another possibility that while he learned the information about the dream control method, he was also involved in some other hidden knowledge. Hidden knowledge is not something that can be received casually. There is no corresponding level of protection secret instrument. Higher-level hidden knowledge, you know
It’s tantamount to committing suicide.”
"It is also possible that when tearing apart the Yiyong and advancing to the Known One, there were no suitable road signs, resulting in falling into a dangerous and unknown area in the Yiyong."
"It's also possible that we encountered some other interference. There are too many reasons."
Fan Ning frowned deeply as he thought: "For example, mysterious chords? Or other hidden knowledge in the book "Sound Flow, Texture and Dreams"?"
He suddenly caught another detail: "Excuse me, what do you mean by 'appropriate road signs' just now?"
Viadlin stood up, took out a pure black small box from the dark lacquered oak cabinet against the wall, and placed it on the table with a bang.
The material of the small box seems to be some kind of wood, but from the vibration of the table, it seems to be very heavy.
"Every time a knowledgeable person enters Yiyong to explore, he needs to tear open the edge of Qingmeng's star realm, so our landing point in Yiyong is random."
"This will cause great risks. The flow is almost infinite, and not all of it is rich in brilliance and attractive gifts. If you fall into the wasteland of nothing and waste some of your inspiration, then forget it.
"
"I'm afraid that I'll see some unspeakable things, or go to an unknown forbidden place, or attract an unintentional glance from some dangerous witness masters - Caroln, you have to know that they may not intend to harm you,
But with just one look at you, or if you look at Him, it's very easy to become tainted with madness."
As Viadlin spoke, he opened the wooden box, took out four drawings engraved with mysterious symbols, and lined them up.
The color of each drawing is a dull yellow-brown, with a ring formed by several arcs of different lengths on the outside, and different symbols on the inside.
These patterns are not painted on it, but are carved into the grooves inside.
"So, we need to use the 'Yiyong Road Signs' to make our exploration paths in Yiyong relatively controllable each time and avoid risks as much as possible. Here are four road signs pointing to different locations..."
Fan Ning's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he didn't even hear clearly what Viadlin said.
These drawings are similar to the "papyrus symbols" he finally obtained from the copper box in the art museum!!
What his father left for him was a "moving road sign"!!
