Chapter 73, The Anchor of the Mind

"Any more questions?" He asked in surprise.

Zhang Baoren explained, "Compared with the last time in the dream, it was very difficult to wake up this time, until finally I woke up because of the stimulation of seeing myself."

"It even gives people a feeling that they almost can't wake up."

"It seems that the depth of the dream is much deeper than last time."

"If it happens again, I'm really worried that I will get lost in the dream, turn into a butterfly and fly away, and never wake up again."

"That's a real problem."

He nodded his body, and then the buzzing motor in his body started.

"Well...according to the knowledge I found on the Internet about this."

"Any exploration of dreams is from shallow to deep. At the beginning, it is like the first time you are in the dream. You can easily find it in the dream, but you cannot easily escape from the dream."

"Then as you actively or passively go deeper into the dream and get closer to the essence of the soul, this will slowly become what you are this time, almost lost and unable to find reality."

"In other words, my dream went deeper this time?"

"No, it's not just that simple."

"According to them, the summed up experience is that the human mind is an ocean composed of countless memories, emotions, and thoughts."

"Normal people's daily life is all on the surface of the sea. Entering a deep dream is like entering the water. Someone who accidentally enters a deep dream while sleeping is accidentally falling into the water."

"And the deeper dream is to dive into the depths of the ocean. People of that school firmly believe that if they dive to the bottom of the ocean of the mind, they can touch the essence of the mind."

"For this reason, they created various tools such as "Zhilong's Sleep", and moved towards the depths of the soul."

"However, every time they explore, they must gradually progress from the shallow dreamland, enter the water from the surface of the water, and then dive into it, no matter how deep they go, this is a necessary step for normal 'swimming' and 'diving'. "

"And you..." He paused.

"If you bring your situation into this kind of assumption, you will skip the step from the water surface to the deep and enter the deeper sea."

"It's as if the first layer of your seawater has disappeared, and the original second layer has become the current first layer, but the concentration of seawater in the second layer has not changed."

"That's the problem now."

"We don't know whether the disappearance of the first layer of sea water is related to the first dream before, let alone whether the second layer of sea water has disappeared now."

"So not only can you not try randomly, but you also have to be careful and try not to enter the dream again, so as to prevent that after entering the dream, there may be a third layer that is deeper than before."

Zhang Baoren nodded, "Before we can't really be sure whether every dream will be so progressive and in-depth, we must be cautious about entering the dream, otherwise we will really enter the so-called third layer. Based on the current situation, it is estimated that we will really enter the dream." I can't wake up."

"But verifying whether the chip can capture thoughts and turn them into dreams is also related to the in-depth exploration and experimentation of the chip's function. This is a subject that must be carried out, so this problem still needs to be solved."

"The psychological school of 'the connection between psychology and dreams' can discover the model of the sea of ​​mind, so do they have a way to deal with getting lost in the deeper sea?"

He searched for a while with a buzzing breath, "Well, I found it - for any dream explorer, the biggest problem encountered after gradually deepening into the sea of ​​mind is 'lost mind'."

"They call the state of being unable to wake up 'lost mind'. According to them, the deeper you go into the sea of ​​mind, the farther away you are from the wall of reason, and the easier it is to lose your heart."

"'Broken Heart' is the greatest difficulty facing all the psychiatrists—dream explorers. The stronger it is, the deeper it dives into the sea of ​​mind, the more dangerous this level will be."

"So they thought of a lot of ways to fight against the state of frustration."

"The most common ones are drugs. According to experiments, some drugs for treating schizophrenia, or anti-amnesia, if taken in excess, will have a significant delaying effect on the superficial dementia state."

"Shallow layer? What about the deep layer? Is the third layer deep or shallow?"

"I don't know how your third layer compares with others' depth, but according to your description, it shouldn't be too shallow."

He said in one mouthful: "If you want to fight against the state of distraction in depth, simple drugs... Well, the drugs based on the existing medical and biological research results can no longer play much role."

"Because that's too far away from realistic rationality."

"The method they thought of was to train people's spirit and mind through self-hypnosis, visualization, and meditation on some complex and strange patterns that fit with spiritual fluctuations."

"They think that the reason why they will lose their minds if they stay away from the strong wall of reason is because there is no reality to anchor the soul, so they can just find another thing as an anchor to maintain reason."

"According to the philosophy of my school, if the deepest part of the sea of ​​mind contains a person's most fundamental spiritual light and soul essence, I and the others are looking for this kind of thing."

"Then using it as an anchor is perfect."

"The specific model is like this - the top layer is the sea surface of the rational wall, the middle is the sea of ​​mind composed of memory fragments and subconscious, and the bottom is the light of the soul hidden in the bottom of the sea."

"If you want to find the light of the soul, you need to go through the sea of ​​​​the soul, but when you dive down into the sea, the farther and farther away from the sea surface, you will break the anchor, and then in order to prevent losing your mind, you have to drop an anchor again, and the only thing that can The only place to drop anchor is the bottom of the ocean."

"It just so happens that the light of the soul is the goal, and it can also be used as a lighthouse as an anchor point, and because it is at the bottom, there is no need to worry about breaking the anchor again as it goes deeper."

"In the end, I was able to verify the correctness of my theory in reverse - being able to anchor it proves that the light of the soul does exist."

"It can be said to serve multiple purposes."

"It is indeed a bold and subtle method." Zhang Baoren nodded and said.

"Is there any concrete result?"

"Yes, and you know it too."

Zhang Baoren asked curiously, "What is it?"

"It's another exercise other than the 'Zhilong Mian' that I told you about before——"Huangliang Zhixuan Chapter"."

"It's it..."

Zhang Baoren frowned and turned back.

"I remembered that you said before that this practice is to question the soul through hypnotic meditation to enter the deep dream. I didn't expect that its specific source is to fight against loss of mind."

"However, from this point of view, this exercise is much more important than the "Hidden Dragon's Sleep". Why do you say that the two exercises are the most classic existences side by side?"
