[Funato] Dream Analysis

"He is the most special patient I have seen over the years."

"The patient's brain has no obvious functional damage, but he has already developed relatively serious systematic delusions and instant vision... Specifically, no matter how many times he has experienced hypnosis, he has always believed that he can see 'ghosts' in reality, And they have almost become his nightmare for a long time."

"I don't know if the names in his mouth are the same 'ghost' - after all, Chen, Xiao, and Dan all refer to similar meanings. The patient's psychological defense is strong. When I try to get a deeper understanding, his only choice is to keep silent... …It’s a headache, so it’s a headache, if you know what he’s been through, it’s fine, but as far as I know, Luo Wenzhou’s environment from childhood to adulthood didn’t have the conditions to cause him a psychological barrier.”

"The only possibility is what he has seen and heard during his tenure. There has never been a victim with the above name in the cases he handled. In which year and which case did he have a mental deviation? And when did it start?"

The moment Fei Du heard Luo Wenzhou whisper the word "ghost", he recalled the content of the call with Teacher Bai the night before the official diagnosis and treatment.In fact, Luo Wenzhou was a case he volunteered to receive from his mentor. He couldn't explain the specific reason for doing so, so he attributed them all to the broken window paper that had been frosted, rained, and sun-baked. .

"Based on current hypnosis techniques, what is the approximate probability of a cure?" he remembers asking himself eventually.

Teacher Bai was rarely silent, "...I can only tell the truth, it's very difficult."

"Then don't tell others." Fei Du said, "I will try other methods for him, I will let him see the world clearly, and I will let him be as good as before."

"How do you know he trusts you?"

"...Maybe, maybe it's because I trust him too."

When the tide was high at the pier on the island, Luo Wenzhou could see scattered stars all over the sky, and a dim lighthouse a little further away under the Silver Waterfall.

Surrounded by unfamiliar scenes, he recovered and found himself walking through a lonely street.He passed the closed grocery store, dessert shop, pet store, Fei Du's clinic, and even the closed gate of his own house, and was surprised to find that the street was so deserted that there was no life at all.

The huge port city was like a dead city with a continuous curfew. He sat on a rock on the beach and waited for a small boat that could take him close to the lighthouse, but he didn't get anything.

In the next moment, an unknown force saw the lighthouse in front of him, like a transition that can only be achieved by magic in a movie. After the folded space stopped turbulent, he realized that he was already on the winding stairs of the lighthouse.It was dark here, and he couldn't see what was covered with the walls, let alone the shadow at the top of the stairs.

"come over."

This was obviously the child's hoarse call, which shook the narrow space and lingered in Luo Wenzhou's ears.He followed the sound, only to see a flash of black shadow when he heard the calfskin shoes knock on the tile floor.

"Hurry up." The shadow urged again in a low voice.

So Luo Wenzhou took the third step and took the first step, and quickly ran up the spiral staircase.Before he had time to think about it, he heard a heart-piercing scream from the dark center ahead.

Luo Wenzhou suddenly felt that the cold sweat all over his body was almost breaking out in response to the weak and terrified scream. He stretched out his hand reflexively, and did not grasp any substance in the involuntary trembling.

Suddenly bright lightning and rumbling thunder came from outside the window. Luo Wenzhou stepped up to the gentle ground on the highest floor, and through the strange light provided by the lightning——saw an empty circular corridor.

The color tone of the corridor is indescribably depressing and malicious, which is reminiscent of the prisons used to torture people centuries ago.His back and face were drenched with sweat. At this moment, he was walking cautiously while trying to call, "Fei Du..."

"I'm here." Fei Du was pleasantly surprised that he called out his name under hypnosis.Seeing him trembling uncontrollably, he couldn't help but take off his coat and cover his trembling body, "Did you see Xiang Han clearly?"

Luo Wenzhou nodded slightly.

"What kind of person is he?" Fei Du asked.

"He's not a human being." Luo Wenzhou solemnly emphasized, "A fourteen or fifteen-year-old...ghost."

"Then do you know how he died?" Fei Du sighed and asked again.

Unexpectedly, Luo Wenzhou stopped talking again.Fei Du looked down at him, only to feel that the body in his arms had been falling into panic again and again since the moment he asked the question, "Luo Wenzhou," so Fei Du grabbed his hand, his eyebrows furrowed into a doubtful arc, and his volume increased accordingly. : "Luo Wenzhou, where are you?"

It took him a long time to reply intermittently: "I'm at the ... lighthouse next to your clinic."

A burst of terrible doubts suddenly rose in Fei Du's heart.

I am the lighthouse next to your clinic.He then recited this sentence silently, analyzing subject-verb-object and causal logic, recalling the two scenes mentioned in the speech—the clinic and the lighthouse.Fei Du's clinic on the coast is a piece of property left by his father.That's right, even though he had a cold relationship with his father during his lifetime, the building was clearly legally owned by him after his father died.

As for the lighthouse, Fei Du thought about it carefully, and finally came to the conclusion that he really hadn't paid much attention to the other landmarks along the coast.

This is where the problem lies——under hypnosis, why did Luo Wenzhou answer the lighthouse, and even deliberately emphasize the word "clinic"?

Is it implying that the dead Xiang Han is related to the lighthouse?

He didn't have time to think deeply, because Luo Wenzhou suddenly trembled exaggeratedly—he had never seen such a helpless Luo Wenzhou, his face was as pale as paper, and his rapid breathing almost turned into begging for mercy and crying in the air.So Fei Du stretched out his hand, and struggled to open his tight eyelids, "Okay, Luo Wenzhou, I want you back after the countdown. Concentrate on... three, shh, shh!"

Fei Du didn't know whether Luo Wenzhou, who was trembling violently in his arms, heard the wake-up command clearly, but the latter just kept repeating in fear like falling into a loop: "He, he brought me to the two closed doors on the left and right."

"I heard you." Fei Du frowned, while holding the back of his head to prevent him from inadvertently hurting himself, on the other hand he kept hinting, "Look directly in front of you, there is a wooden door there, open it You can come back—"

"He told me... He told me that there are two monsters with green faces and fangs locked in the two doors..."

"From now on, no matter what Xiang Han says, don't listen to him. He's dead, and what's forcibly controlling you is just a mass of illusion. You can't give in to your own illusion." Fei Du could barely hold him, and he couldn't wake Luo Wenzhou.Moreover, after uttering these words sarcastically, he realized that it was not only Luo Wenzhou who was in a bad situation, but also himself.

The forensic doctor suddenly stopped moving, and the projections that were supposed to perform their duties stopped their work, turned their necks at a strange angle, and stared at his direction without moving.The noise returned to calm, and it seemed that even dropping an embroidery needle on the ground could cause a disturbance.This is bad, because dreaming essentially takes advantage of the subconscious mind. Once the subconscious mind realizes that it is dreaming, it will follow the instinct of finding the dreamer and force him to wake up.

There is one and only specific method used by the subconscious mind: let the dreamer die in the dream.

But Fei Du reflexively refused to allow such an event to happen.

So he closed his eyes, exhaled heavily, and forcibly ordered his brain in the storm to calm down.Then he heard Luo Wenzhou muttering repeatedly, so he had no choice but to close his ears again.

"There is another door with a combination lock."

These words clearly came from Luo Wenzhou, Fei Du looked through the latter's tightly closed eyes, but his back felt numb, and he had the illusion that he was borrowing his mouth from Han.

"Where there is, the weakest man can't ask for it."

boom.

Fei Du suddenly came back to his senses, and noticed that someone threw the steel pipe straight at the wall.He raised his head, and some of them were still staring at them, motionless.

Riots are usually a harbinger of subconscious awakening.

There is no other way.Fei Du thought—although he has never advocated entering multi-layered dreams, just in case he fell into a lost realm.At this moment, the lonely doctor regrets that he started hypnotherapy on Luo Wenzhou again in the dream, but the matter has come to this point, I am afraid that only by following Luo Wenzhou into the next dream, can he be brought back intact in the twenty times longer time .

Fortunately, Fei Du never forgets to leave a gap in the corner for himself every time he designs a dream.He moved his legs that were slightly sore from being immobilized for a long time, gently placed Luo Wenzhou on the bench temporarily, then walked through the crowd, and when he came back again, there was a silver-gray aluminum box on his right hand.

He didn't pay attention to the sights behind him that almost burned through his chest, he just skillfully connected the hands of the two to the device respectively, and then glanced at Luo Wenzhou who was sleeping, and without any extra movement, he bent down and lay down beside him.

"do not……"

In the absurd dream, Fei Du vaguely discerned three unnamed figures.

"you can not……"

It seemed that a man with disheveled hair and shackles whose face could not be seen swooped in front of him.

"cannot……"

Fei Du's whole body was cold, he gritted his teeth, and felt a dull pain as if his brain was swelling again.He struggled to concentrate, but was caught off guard by fluffy waves and sent ashore.

With his strength slowly returning, Fei Du struggled to focus, and saw clearly that there was still a light like fireworks in the human world in a place far away from the sea, but by the time the light reached this place, it had already been weakened to a faint and insignificant appearance.

"Luo Wenzhou?"

He yelled, but there was silence all around, and no one answered.

TBC.
