Chapter 678 The Advantages and Disadvantages of Dreams

By now, he no longer cared about so much. He just tried his best to experience the changes after each advanced dream, and uploaded his methods and precautions on how to awaken these abilities in dreams to the human database so that others could have a reference.

At the same time, after discovering that he could sleep whenever he wanted and dream whenever he wanted, Yue Yuan would enter the starry sky dream every time he went to sleep and experience the dream carefully in order to try to discover other possible abilities.

But the result was not satisfactory, he did not discover any new abilities, and his mental state was not strengthened again.

In this way, several years passed, and not only Yue Yuan, but others did not awaken new abilities in dreams. Moreover, these abilities of sleeping at any time, dreaming when they want, and switching between first-person dreams and third-person dreams at will are not the privileges of a certain person, but all human beings have them. The difference is that some people master them quickly, some people master them slowly, some people master them better, and some people master them a little bit badly.

Specifically, for example, the ability to control and create dream scenes in dreams. Some people can neatly create scenes that are very close to reality, while some people work hard for a long time and carefully come up with rather absurd scenes.

There is also the switching between the first-person and third-person perspectives. For people like Yue Yuan, he can now switch perspectives at will, but some people still need to prepare for a long time before they can make the switch.

There is another ability, which is unique to third-person dreams. Yue Yuan discovered and mastered it very early. That is, in the third-person state, as long as he hints in his subconscious mind where he wants to "see", he will clearly see the originally distant places in the dream, as well as what happened in those places.

At that time, Yue Yuan was dreaming about the scenery by the lake, and then focused his attention on the moon in the sky. This is the ability he has.

However, these are only abilities in dreams. Such fantasy abilities do not appear in reality. This is why some people said that the abilities gained from the national dream event are useless. Of course, when you reach the energetic stage, there is no such saying.

Ordinary people see it this way, but senior scientists have a completely different view on dream events. They all start from the perspective of the entire human civilization, which is what we called "practicing internal skills". This will allow humans to progress faster in the same cosmic time.

However, it is not without disadvantages. After seeing Yue Yuan upload the information that he can "sleep when he wants and dream when he wants", many scientists pointed out the disadvantages and dangers of dream events.

Especially when it comes to dreaming, they think that this is likely to cause humans to fall into a false dream, and indulge in things in dreams that are impossible to obtain or achieve in reality, such as satisfying the Creator's addiction in dreams.

People with strong dream-building abilities can achieve this, and they can also dream continuously, continuing from the place they dreamed last time. The disadvantage of this ability is that it may make humans addicted to false dreams, and over time they will not be able to recognize the difference between dreams and reality, thus causing social problems for the human group.

It is as harmful as virtual reality and the metaverse, or even more harmful than them.

People may stop paying attention to real life and regard dreams as their real world. When a person becomes addicted to dreams and cannot distinguish between reality and dreams, he or she is useless.

Once this kind of trend spreads in human society, it will be a disaster for the entire human civilization, and it is not impossible that human civilization will fall into depravity. This is something we need to be vigilant about.

Fortunately, as soon as this capability emerged, the new government’s top officials and experts discovered this drawback and had enough time to find a solution.

However, it is not easy to completely solve this problem, because it is not a technology that humans can master. Humans do not even know the reason why they dream continuously, and cannot find the scientific principles of the abilities of dreaming continuously, controlling dreams, and switching perspectives in dreams. It is just a passive change. Therefore, there is no question of preventing it through scientific means, because it is impossible.

Moreover, each person's dreams are not the same. As long as the dreamer does not want to make his dreams public, others will not be able to know what kind of scenes he has constructed in his dreams.

In this way, dreams will inevitably become everyone's own private world. On the positive side, this will become a way for everyone to vent their emotions. On the negative side, dreams and reality will become blurred, and social problems will eventually arise.

The only consolation is that the time for rest and sleep is short, and people do not have enough time to sleep all the time. This may to a large extent prevent people from falling into a state of blurring between reality and dreams.

Yes, after having so many dreams, humans discovered that at the beginning, when dreams were still uncontrolled and confused, the passage of time in dreams was very random. But when it came to lucid dreams and rational dreams dominated by subjective consciousness, the time in dreams became less arbitrary, and people felt that the passage of time in dreams was almost the same as in reality.

This is a subconscious feeling of the passage of time and does not affect the ability to change the dream scene so that new things suddenly appear.

This situation, coupled with the fact that humans are full of energy, will allow humans to know to the greatest extent that they spend a longer time in reality, thereby minimizing the blurring of dreams and reality.

Scientists believe that this is something set up by the Awakener. They believe that this magical dream is likely caused by some technology of the Awakener, which has worked on the Awakener himself before. The Awakener may have been troubled by the "blurring of dreams and reality" before, so what humans are enjoying now is the improved version, the complete version of the Awakener's technology.

From this perspective, the Awakeners are really good to humans.

From the first encounter with humans, to the care of humans by the awakener Huan. Sometimes humans can't understand why the awakeners are so good to them. Is it just because they say "We need partners in the future"? Is it really like what the awakener Huan said, because the long voyage is too dangerous, and the awakeners need partners?

But how could the weak human civilization deserve to be so valued by a level six civilization leader? What is it about humans that is worthy of the awakened one's attention?

While reaping the benefits of the dream events, the human leaders could not help but ask themselves.
