Chapter 119

All common sense does not hold in dreams, because dreams are another dimension of space.

For example, common sense believes that people will suffocate in water. But in dreams, people will not drown, because the conscious body does not need to breathe.

But when you take this anti common sense knowledge as common sense, you sometimes make mistakes.

Aoki has made such a mistake now.

He thought he would not be drowned, so he let the perceived River flood his nose.

However, when he was relaxed, he choked.

The cold water entered his nose and lungs and made him cough all at once.

He immediately raised his head, exposed his mouth and nose to the water, coughed a few times and coughed out the water in his lungs before he felt more comfortable.

Like the crazy beggar, Aoki hung himself on the top of the cage and waited for the water level to go down.

It seems that this is no longer a dream!

But he was sure that when he entered the cave just now, he did enter a group dream. All the people in the cave are dreaming. They have built a dream together, and the dream has lasted for a long time. After the cooperation of many people, the dream space is very large, and its rules have great constraints on power.

The question is, when did you quit your dream again?

Aoki carefully recalled what happened when cuckoo withdrew, and there seemed to be no suspicious signs that space had changed.

The feeling of really soaking in the cold groundwater is not good. The muscles of the bent and suspended arms begin to feel a little numb.

Something stirred in the water in the distance, and the spray swam over. I couldn't tell what it was in the dark. I only heard the sound of water.

Suddenly, Han laizi's curse came from the nearby cage: "shit... Shit... What?... bah bah... I can't... bah... Gululu... Help... Poof... Help... Poof... Help..."

Han laizi seemed to be dragged into the water by something, and there was no sound after a burst of blisters.

Then everything calmed down.

I don't know how long it took in the dark, and the water level slowly retreated again.

Aoki rubbed his arm, and then touched every iron bar of the cage with his hand. The iron cage is welded to death. It is very firm. Except for opening the lock on the cage door, it is impossible to escape with the strength of ordinary people.

Of course, Aoki is not an ordinary person. So he tried to break the gap of the iron bar wider.

But he suddenly found that he couldn't use any strength. There was a viscous force around him, just like what pressed ordinary people in their nightmares.

Or in a dream?

That's strange.

Aoki took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and carefully recalled the details of entering the cave from beginning to end again.

The first time he felt unwell was in the rotten leaf gully behind the small wooden building, where there was a bad smell. At that time, his consciousness had been affected. Like the smell of Rhododendron, that odor affects people's subconsciousness by stimulating the olfactory center of human brain.

There should be an extension of this group's dream, which is equivalent to a connection for people from the outside world.

Next, Aoki felt a trance in the cave. At that time, I should have touched the edge of this dream. He had realized that he was about to enter a very huge dream and thought it was made by dewar.

After entering the cave, he met cuckoo. Later, he found that Han laizi and others were in a dream, and he determined that it was a group dream.

Although Dujuan didn't say it clearly, she also admitted that it was not her and her master's dream. Situ helped her activate this place, that is to say, this dream existed before Dujuan.

Was it made by situ? It's hard to draw a conclusion now.

After that, Aoki was put in a cage and the cuckoo left. There was no problem. The question is, why does the conscious body choke?

It's just that he is an ordinary person. Ordinary people's consciousness believes that they will drown because they don't know they are in a dream. When they are drowned in their dreams, the subconscious mind will directly retrieve the chest pain, asphyxia and other sensory memory from the brain. Usually, people wake up at that time.

But in group dreams, individual dreams are connected with other people's dreams, and spaces overlap with each other, which is difficult to collapse. Just like building a house, ordinary dreams are like houses in the countryside. They are independent, while group dreams are like apartments in the city. A building has dozens or hundreds of families. Unless the whole building is crossed, your home will not collapse alone.

If the dream does not collapse, it is difficult for the conscious body to leave the dream space and return to reality.

That's why Aoki thinks he has left his dream, and the performance of Han laizi next to him also confirms his idea.

But when he tried to open the iron door of the cage, the feeling of his body clearly told him that he was still in a dream.

In other words, he is now in a state of dream and reality.

In his dream, he was trapped in an iron cage by the underground river where the water level would change, and his body in the real world was in the same situation at this time.

This is a real dream, that is, the dream and reality are synchronized. What you do in the dream and what you are doing in the reality.

Ordinary people's sleepwalking is a real dream.

However, it is inconceivable to build a huge group dream, and it sounds even more inconceivable to turn a group dream into a real dream.

Most people's dreams will imitate the real environment in terms of spatial rules. Only in this way can they calmly tune out and put in many things in their memory. So general dreams have gravity, and people in dreams can't fly.

It is not easy to break through such rules, but it is not very difficult, because the rules of the real world are also changing with our exploration and cognition.

Sometimes, a person without knowledge and science is easier to achieve a breakthrough in dreams because he doesn't know the law of gravitation. Therefore, children are more likely to have strange dreams such as flying, diving and so on.

It's easiest to build a dream that conforms to the rules of the real universe. You just need to follow common sense. Usually, we don't need to do anything deliberately. At the beginning of the dream, the subconscious has determined the rules in the dream.

But as like as two peas, the "greatest" scientist in the world, so far, has limited knowledge of the world. How can he possibly construct a world similar to reality in his dream?

Just like 3D printing technology, it can confuse the true with the false in the similarity of shape and material, but it can't copy something at the molecular level, let alone the quantum level. So don't expect 3D printing to copy a person sometime.

Similarly, it is almost impossible to copy a dream exactly like the real world, which requires the dreamer to understand all the rules of the universe and the details of its operation.

Therefore, most of the real dreams depend on the coincidence of body perception.

Aoki remembered Mo Yu's sleepwalking state at that time. Those mirrors were made by situ. At that time, he was very confused. Why did situ do this?

Now I seem to understand that situ is probably doing an experiment. He is trying to create an array that allows people to enter the group's real dream - if so called.
