Dream Interpretation

亲爱的朋友,感谢你与我分享这个简短却充满丰富隐喻的梦境。得知你在醒来时感受到一种“神秘”的情绪,这让我觉得非常迷人。通常,当我们的物品在梦中受损时,人们会感到焦虑或沮丧,但你感受到的却是“神秘”。这种情绪本身就是一个强有力的线索,说明你的潜意识并不是在向你发出危险的警告,而是在邀请你透过一个“全新且略带残缺的视角”去观察你的生活。

让我们像拆解一个精美的心理学盲盒一样,一起慢慢探索这个梦境背后可能隐藏的深层含义。

🔮 Symbols & Themes (符号与主题)

在这个梦境中,有几个非常具体且引人深思的核心符号:

* 高端智能手机 (iPhone 15 Pro Max): 在荣格心理学中,现代科技产品往往是我们心理功能的延伸。手机,尤其是像 iPhone 15 Pro Max 这样具有极高像素和强大功能的设备,象征着我们与外在世界的连接、我们的记忆库,以及我们的“人格面具”(Persona)——即我们向世界展示自我的方式。你梦到的具体型号暗示了你对“高清晰度”、“完美”或“高质量”生活状态的追求。它是你用来“捕捉现实”的最优工具。

* 被碰掉一小片的镜头玻璃: 相机镜头是梦境中经典的“眼睛”原型。它代表着你的视野、你的洞察力以及你观察世界的角度。玻璃是一层保护膜,也是一层介质。一小片玻璃被碰掉,可能意味着你心理防御机制上的一个小缺口,或者是你原有的完美视角被意外打破了。它不再是无缝的,而是带有了某种脆弱性。

* 上方的变形与模糊: 这是一个极其精确的细节。在梦的象征学中,画面的“上方”通常代表着心智(头脑)、未来、理想,或者是权威与更高的目标(而下方则代表潜意识、基础或本能)。导致上方“变形和模糊”,或许暗示着你在看待未来的某些愿景、长远目标,或是某些高层级的概念时,失去了以往的绝对清晰度。你的视角被加上了一层不可控的“滤镜”。

🌊 Emotional Landscape (情感图景)

你提到醒来时的情绪是“神秘的”,这一点非常值得玩味。

如果在梦中发现昂贵的手机损坏,我们通常的本能反应会是心痛、懊恼或焦虑。然而,“神秘”这种情绪表明,你的内在自我并没有将这次“损坏”视为一场纯粹的灾难。相反,你的心灵对这种“变形与模糊”产生了一种好奇。

这种情感图景可能反映了你在现实清醒生活中的某种状态:你或许刚刚经历了一次视角的转变。某件原本你认为自己看得很清楚的事情(也许是某段关系、某个工作项目或对未来的规划),突然出现了一个小插曲(镜头被碰掉的小片)。这个插曲改变了事情的原本面貌,让一部分变得不那么清晰了。但你并没有因此感到恐慌,反而觉得这种“看不清”或“变形”的背后,隐藏着某种你尚未理解的深意或新的可能性。它打破了你对“绝对掌控”的执念,为你带来了一种略带诗意和未知的神秘感。

🧠 Subconscious Insights (潜意识洞察)

从潜意识的深处来看,这个梦可能正在处理几个重要的心理主题:

1. 对“完美主义”的温和解构

iPhone 15 Pro Max 代表着一种极致的工业设计和完美的成像追求。你的潜意识可能正在通过打破这层完美的玻璃,来教导你接受“侘寂”(Wabi-sabi)之美——即接受事物的不完美、无常和残缺。也许在现实生活中,你对自己或他人的要求非常高,总是希望一切都能“高清呈现”。这个梦在温柔地提醒你:即使镜头有缺损,照片依然可以拍出来,只是它具有了另一种独特的、变形的艺术感。

2. 认知滤镜的显化

我们每个人都是透过自己内心的“镜头”来看世界的,但我们常常忘记这层镜头的存在。当镜头完好时,我们误以为自己看到的就是绝对的客观现实;而当镜头破损、画面变形时,我们才突然意识到:“哦,原来我一直是通过一个介质在看世界。”这个梦可能标志着你自我意识的觉醒,你开始意识到自己的某些偏见、情绪或过去的经历(那个小缺口),正在如何影响你看待特定事物(尤其是“上方”的未来或理想)的方式。

3. 容忍未知与模糊的能力

上方画面的模糊,意味着你无法看清全貌。在心理成长中,能够容忍模糊性(Tolerance of Ambiguity)是一种非常高级的心理成熟标志。潜意识或许在告诉你:不需要把每件事都看得清清楚楚,有时候,允许一部分生活保持“变形和模糊”,反而能给你带来意想不到的灵感和神秘感。

💭 Reflection Questions (反思与提问)

为了帮助你将这个梦境与现实生活建立更深的连接,我为你准备了几个问题。你可以找个安静的时间,带着那份“神秘”的感觉在心里默默咀嚼它们:

1. 最近生活中,是否有一件看似微小的意外或插曲(就像那个小缺口),悄悄改变了你对某个重要事情的看法?

2. 梦境中照片“上方”的模糊,让你联想到现实中的什么?是关于未来的某个计划变得不确定了,还是你对某个权威人物/更高目标的看法发生了动摇?

3. 你是否在生活的某个领域过度追求“高清晰度”和“完美掌控”?如果允许这部分生活保持一点点“变形和模糊”,你会感到害怕,还是会感到一种神秘的解脱?

4. 如果这张上方变形、模糊的照片是一件艺术品,你觉得它想向你传达什么独特的信息?

亲爱的朋友,梦境是我们内心最真诚的来信。那个受损的镜头并没有剥夺你记录生活的能力,它只是赋予了你一种全新的、独一无二的视角。去拥抱那份神秘感吧,看看这种新的视角会带领你发现怎样不同的风景。祝你拥有充满洞察与平和的一天。

A Perilous Elevator Ride at the Japan Immigration Bureau and Dusk by the Sea

Because a colleague had once caught a fish, another colleague and I accompanied him to the Japan Immigration Bureau to testify. The staff member there was an older woman with a very pleasant demeanor. After the other colleague (who was a manager) signed the paperwork and handed it to her, she told the fish-catching colleague, 'We will forgive you this time, but you must not catch fish again.' Afterwards, she walked us to the elevator. My colleague and I stepped inside, and the doors closed. I figured it was fine if the two of us went down first, but once the doors shut, the buttons became unresponsive, and the elevator began a relentless descent. We were incredibly tense, but all we could do was stare, terrified of a sudden crash. We seemed to have called the company. They could track our location on their end, viewing a cross-sectional diagram that showed the elevator shaft stretching from the above-ground Immigration Bureau office deep into the earth. The underground portion was immensely long. I watched the little dot representing our elevator descending at a steady pace until it finally came to a halt, and we felt no impact whatsoever. I then began to feel relieved that the elevator wasn't situated right by the ocean, sparing us from flooding. On the right side of the cross-section, the sea was visible, sloping deeper and deeper. However, since it was coastal water, the seabed shown on the diagram did not reach as deep as the bottom of our elevator shaft. The scene then cut to a sandy beach at dusk. My colleague's manager was there, guarding a sandcastle to keep a group of children from destroying it.

Falling Into the Abyss and Thrown Out: A Surreal Sphere Journey

I fell from a tall building. Below was an abyss, and the abyss was like a reverse black hole. After I fell in, I was thrown out from another direction, thrown out just like a drop of dye dripping into a glass of water. Then I entered a transparent sphere. As I entered, it felt as though my body were being pressed against a plastic film, my body merging bit by bit into the gas inside.

A Stress-Relief Trip to Xuanwu Lake Under Exam Pressure

I dreamt of taking the college entrance exam, and I didn't know anything at all. Work was really frustrating. I went for a stroll around Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, sat on a bench drinking beer and eating skewers, feeling the breeze, looking at the lake, surrounded by blooming tulips.

Dream Adventure: A Healing Journey Through Bottles of Light, an Odd-Eyed Cat, and a Twin-Moon Wheat Field

Last night I dreamed I was in a huge supermarket, but the shelves were completely filled with transparent bottles containing different colors of light. I wanted to buy an orange one, but the clerk told me it required a reservation, and then handed me a business card with my own name written on it. I walked out of the supermarket and found it was raining outside, but the ground was dry. Looking up at the sky, the raindrops vanished in mid-air. By the road, a cat was sitting on top of a traffic light looking at me; one of its eyes was blue and the other was gold. Then, somehow, I ended up in the neighborhood where I lived as a child, but the buildings had grown incredibly tall. I counted and there seemed to be hundreds of floors. I took the elevator up. A very soft piano melody was playing inside. When it reached a certain floor, the doors opened to reveal a wheat field outside. As I walked into the wheat field, I suddenly felt so sleepy that I just lay right down. The wheat was very warm. There were two moons in the sky, one large and one small. I wanted to take a picture, but when I pulled out my phone, it had turned into a cookie. I took a bite and it was actually quite tasty—matcha flavored. Later, someone called my name, but I couldn't make out their face. He said, "It's time for you to go back." I asked, "Back where?" And then I woke up.

The Fear of a Cruise Ship Exploding and Sinking

I dreamed I was in class. Outside the classroom window was an endless sea. I saw an incredibly beautiful cruise ship passing by and called everyone over to look. The cruise ship was tiny in the distance, shining brightly in the sun, and the sea was sparkling. As soon as the classroom window was opened, the sea breeze blew in. It was perfectly beautiful. Then we saw that beautiful cruise ship suddenly speed up and leave, so we went back to class. Next, our class also organized a vacation on a cruise ship. It was an ordinary cruise ship, but still very nice. Even though our living quarters weren't even as big as our school dorms, everyone was very happy. Then we encountered that incredibly beautiful cruise ship again. For some reason, it was very close to us, spinning rapidly in place. The people on that ship were terrified, but the cruise ship showed no sign of slowing down. Then, that beautiful cruise ship suddenly exploded. After the explosion, it began to slowly sink, but for some unknown reason, our cruise ship also began to uncontrollably speed up and circle the exploding ship. This even caused the secondary and tertiary explosions of the sinking ship to almost catch us in the blast. But in the end, we made it away from there. No one escaped. No one made it out of that exploded cruise ship. Everyone's mood grew very heavy. Our ship stopped for some unknown reason and had to remain stalled on the sea for the night. I was deeply uneasy, so I didn't stay obediently in my room; I kept trying to find official staff, like stewards or something. Midway, the cruise ship even lost power for a few minutes and took on water once. Finally, I found a few stewardesses. I asked them: is the ship really going to explode. They just awkwardly told me not to make such dangerous jokes, but I could see they were still a bit scared. Yet they didn't know the answer either, and then I truly fell into despair. I already felt like I was just waiting to die on the ship, and now, after running around for so long, I had only deepened this suspicion—neither confirming it nor dispelling it. I felt so helpless. I thought of the cruise ship that had already exploded. On that ship, some people were there to work, some were there to vacation, and some had spent their entire life's savings just to see the sea once. But they all died. They might have died helplessly, they might have died painfully, or they might have been as desperate as I was, or perhaps even more desperate. Then I returned to my room, looked at the water that had already risen to my heels, climbed back into bed, ignored the voices of my classmates, and went to sleep. Then I woke up.

The Gang Boss and the Giantess: A Video Game Dream

I dreamt I was in a car, sitting in the back. There were people of all ages in the car; the person in the driver's seat was our boss, and we were a gang. The boss took us to a farm. That farm had appeared in my dreams before. I remembered that at the entrance of every enclosure where cattle and sheep were kept, there would be a small room. That room was red, dyed with human blood; many people had died here. Then I dreamt that our boss and I went into a school together. In that school, we were investigating something. Then, we split up to search all over the school for the resources we needed, though I kept following the boss. But we got separated from some people, and then they disappeared. When I turned my head, they had turned into NPCs; it seemed they were already dead. Then, I continued following the boss to find those puzzles. Then, in the first-floor lobby, we saw a giantess. That giant was truly massive; we could only see her hands and eyes, not her whole body. Her entire body seemed to be outside the building, so much so that we could only see her eyes and hands, though it wasn't to an absurd degree. We went down to the basement, and after scavenging what we needed, we quietly snuck back up to the second floor. But at a critical moment, the boss was suddenly discovered, and the few of us were all caught. Then I suddenly opened my eyes and woke up. I realized we were playing a game. Actually, all those experiences just now were just me playing a game with the boss. Then, the boss said, 'Ah, what a pity we didn't save the game.' But actually, I have a habit when playing games, which is to constantly keep saving. I had something running in the background, recording our saves at every moment, and then I copied that save file over to the boss. I said, 'Boss, I saved it. We can use my save file. You can roll back to my save, and we can keep playing.' And then I woke up.

School

I dreamed I was at school, but the school was out on the street and had no fences. I had also sneaked in my phone and computer. I dreamed my grades were terrible, and then my high school friend asked a lot of people to come tutor me, and she tutored me too. I just kept going to class, listening to them explain problems, going to class, listening to them explain problems. About three days passed, and then someone died. Everyone was very sad. Then I dreamed my friend brought a rice cooker to attend the funeral (the funeral was held in the classroom). Then I asked her for some salt to eat, and she actually gave me some, but the salt tasted awful. I asked her for sugar instead, and she gave me that too, and then I pretty much woke up.

1 Zombies 2 Overtime 3 Baffling

(Had 3 dreams last night) (The first one) There were two tall buildings, and between them was a skybridge with its stairs completely collapsed. But in the middle of the skybridge, there were a few ropes originally meant only for humans to climb up and sleep on, which the zombies had also discovered, and they were trying with all their might to climb up too. So we had no choice but to block these few entry points where they were coming up. But the zombies kept squirming up in an endless stream, so we had to abandon the skybridge. We ran to the edge of the skybridge and had a teammate open a cover on the outside of the wall, then jumped straight in. This passage led directly to the basement. I don't remember what the basement was for either, seems like some kind of dispute happened? Then I only remember running on top of a wall, a black, endless wall. I was stepping on individual bricks on top of it, running incredibly fast. (The sky was very dark then, it was almost nightfall. The sky didn't seem to have many clouds but was a hazy grey, as if it was about to rain.) (The second one) I dreamt I was a corporate drone. Everyone in our company had forgotten the deadline for a project, and by the time we all remembered, there was only one day left. But at this time, for some reason, I caused some other issues (the rather urgent kind, and this also concerned the whole company). I begged everyone in the company to come and help, and everyone did come. Then by the time my issue was resolved it was already night, and we had to submit the project the next day. Then the boss bought boxed meals and coffee for every one of us, and informed us that no one was to even think about sleeping today, everyone had to get the project done for him before sleeping, especially me, finish the work before sleeping. I sheepishly agreed. (The third dream) I dreamt I was in a high school. Originally I was just wandering around with nothing to do, and walked to a room to watch a teacher dancing a dance I really like. I was just watching him dance, but as he danced he suddenly pulled me in to dance together, saying this was the dance club and I was already a member, which left me utterly baffled. Then he suddenly said no playing on phones. I was already dancing and wasn't playing on my phone, which left me even more baffled. Then he confiscated my phone, and the phones of all the students nearby, and continued dancing. After a while a teacher appeared at the door, he checked that we weren't playing on our phones and then left, and then the dance teacher gave our phones back to us. Then most of the students left, a few were just playing on their phones, leaving only me dancing. I thought this dance club teacher was really quite pitiful, how come it was just me left, so I stayed a bit longer, and then left. Then I went out and saw it was raining outside, and the people from the school next door were preparing for exams (our school was two high schools sharing one school's grounds). Because I was wearing my own clothes, and passed by many people from the other school (their school strictly required wearing uniforms, our school wasn't that strict), I attracted a lot of attention. Then I suddenly got a message on my phone. I opened it to look, and it was sent by a principal. The principal messaged me to say: I saw the provocative post you made last week. Let's settle this once and for all with this exam! Go collect all the exam papers and put them on my desk, I will go look at them. I was very baffled, really, because I had never written a provocative post, much less would I go provoke our principal. We all called that teacher "Zhang Bo". His surname wasn't Zhang, and his name had nothing to do with Bo, it was just because he looked like a classmate surnamed Zhang, and he himself had a doctoral degree (boshi), so we called him "Zhang Bo". Who in their right mind would go provoke a teacher with a doctoral degree? Looking for death? Then I replied to him saying I had never provoked him, and I had asked around, our school didn't have any exams recently, where would I get exam papers for him to write? The teacher only replied with one word: Oh. Then he told me to find exam papers and put them on his desk. I really felt it was baffling, but still went to look. I took exam papers from the school next door and went to find the teacher's desk. Halfway there I walked into a tower, and in that tower I saw two teachers arguing. One was our music teacher, she was our student council teacher, and the other was a Crow Teacher. He wore an elegant black suit and spoke very politely, many students liked him. (Not meaning that the music teacher was unlikable, the music teacher was also very nice, she was also very liked by everyone.) Then I heard the conversation between the two teachers. Music Teacher: Why on earth did you come to our school? Because of you someone in our school even died! Crow Teacher: This matter itself has nothing to do with me, you know that. Music Teacher: Why on earth did you come to our school, because of you our whole school has been infected with bad luck! (Because Crow Teacher was our school's mascot, and other schools' mascots were all white, only our school was a black crow) Crow Teacher: You'll have to ask your principal about this matter, he's the one who hired me, I only came by invitation. Then I remembered, a short time ago it seemed a student had committed suicide by jumping off a building, but it didn't cause too much of a commotion, the school seemed to have suppressed it, not many people noticed. With the music teacher saying this I remembered, why did that student jump off the building again? I forgot. But this wasn't important either, my current task was to go deliver the exam papers. Then I seemed to have found our principal's office, but I ran into the principal on the way. Just as I was about to give him the exam papers, he asked me, do you know why I'm called "Zhang Bo"? I said I didn't know (actually I was just answering along with the teacher's question, I said it earlier. I knew the answer, I was just curious why the teacher would ask this question). Then the teacher gave an answer I never expected. He said his name's English name is actually spelled "Li pai". I was so baffled, I really had never heard this name, and no matter how you spell this "Li pai" it wouldn't be "Zhang Bo", right? Before I could interrupt, he just kept talking to himself: "Actually 11 years ago I was in a car accident. I luckily survived that car accident. At that time I was originally about to die, but at the very end I struck a 'Dog Faction (pai)' pose, and then I survived. Then I was truly speechless, so your "pai" really just means faction (pai)? And here I thought the meaning was so profound? (Translating for foreigners, pai is the pinyin for faction) And what's with this dog, he drew the original movement for me, it was just a normal body stretching forward, it had absolutely nothing to do with a dog, okay? And if we're talking about a dog, how did it become "Li" in the English name? ("Li" and "dog" have absolutely nothing to do with each other, okay?) It left me utterly baffled, and then I bafflingly woke up.

Lost-ing

I dreamed I was at a place taking a train with a lot of people (the internal structure of that very primitive train was like a subway, with a row of seats against the window, and a few carriages were even specially used to transport coal, without even a roof). My older sister and my younger sister were both on the train. When I was on the train, my younger sister bought a ticket for each of us, because we originally didn't have tickets to ride, and then she bought a supplementary one. After arriving at the destination, we got off after the ticket check. After getting off, we got lost. The place we were going to should have been a hospital. It seemed someone in my family was sick in the hospital, but I didn't know who. Then my younger sister took us wandering around randomly (we were lost). As we walked and walked, we came across a small convenience store. I picked out some snacks I liked and left. Then we went to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, we followed the road from the hospital to our home. But I accidentally got lost again, and accidentally walked to the train station. After being at the train station, I accidentally got on a train again. Then the train left. I hadn't brought my phone, hadn't brought anything, just myself. After arriving at the train station and getting off, I told the attendant that I hadn't brought my phone or anything, and I asked how I should pay the fare. Then the attendant lady scanned my face, which brought up my identity information, used my bank card to buy a ticket, and then let me get off. Then I asked again, saying I wanted to go to a hospital and didn't know the way. Then the lady printed the address on a small slip of paper for me, spent 1.7 yuan, and helped me call a cab. Then, I left. After getting out of the car, I found that I was lost again and again and again and again. Then because that train station was right next to a pizza place, that pizza place—whether it was the tables, the lights, or the chairs—everywhere was completely red. I didn't really like it there, but when I was about to leave, I suddenly saw a person, a family, who felt the pizza and things there were not tasty at all. After they ordered some things, they barely took a few bites and left, because at that time I was already a bit hungry. Then after they left, I took the leftover food on their table and ate it. Oh, my god, it sounds a bit pathetic. I really liked that pizza flavor, especially there was a double-layer pizza with cheese in the middle. Then I took two thick slices of pizza and left. Before leaving, an old woman grabbed me; she wanted to fight me for the leftover pizza from those people, but I told her I was so hungry and hadn't eaten anything. I begged her to give me this pizza. Her husband also took pity on me, pulled the old woman back, and let me go, and then I quickly ran away. After reaching the door of the shop, a staff member came in, reached out and grabbed my pizza, not wanting to let me go. He looked super suspicious of me, and then I told him it wasn't stolen, looked at him very confusedly, and then very confusedly pulled my pizza back. Then that waiter looked at me a couple of times and he left too. Um, then I got lost again and again and again and again. After leaving the pizza place, I gnawed on my pizza while walking, and while looking for the way. After I finished gnawing, I found I met some little kids. One of the kids, the pen he was holding in his hand was actually a phone. Then I said: Can I borrow your thing for a bit? I want to look at the route, I don't know the way. The kid agreed, said he would help me, and then I borrowed their phone, kept checking the map, kept looking at the route. Later, I suddenly remembered, this seems to be a phone, and then I called my younger sister, asking her to help me. Originally we were still struggling to look at that map, but they didn't really understand either, because the light was too dim, we couldn't even see clearly all along. Later we went to a brighter place to see clearly. Finally, I called my younger sister, asking her to help me call a cab. Among this group of kids, a slightly older one was very worried about me; he was afraid I was a bad guy who would kidnap them, and he was still very guarded against me. Then I dreamed of the little girl with the phone. She was the second oldest among this group of kids, and after she took the phone back, she said she would take me to the hospital. I said okay, and then before she even started taking me, I woke up.

Anxious Grocery Store Dream: Shattered Phone & Exams

I had the most frustrating dream last night. I was just at a normal grocery store trying to buy some milk. I walked down the dairy aisle but every single carton was completely blank. There were no labels at all. I asked an employee who was stocking shelves for help. He did not say a word and just gestured for me to follow him. We kept walking for what felt like twenty minutes. The store was impossibly huge. We finally stopped in an aisle that only sold loose batteries and potted plants. I turned around to tell him this was the wrong place. Suddenly he was my old high school math teacher. He handed me a piece of paper and said I was late for my final exam. I started panicking because I realized I was only wearing socks and the floor was freezing. I took out my phone to text my wife and ask her to come pick me up. The screen was completely shattered and the keyboard was just a bunch of random symbols. Then the phone started playing really loud elevator music. I tried to cover it with my hands to stop the noise and then I woke up feeling incredibly stressed.

Nested Dreams, Blurring True and False

I had a very complex dream. Basically, every time I had a dream I would wake up, but that wasn't a real awakening. I was still asleep, but I thought I had genuinely woken up, and then I would use my phone to record the dream. Halfway through, I realized I didn't seem to have ever woken up. Then I thought, the previous dreams were just too weird. I thought I had woken up again, but in reality, I still hadn't. Then I used my phone to record all my previous dreams once more, felt relieved, and went back to sleep again. Then I had another very, very long dream, a completely chaotic dream. This dream had absolutely no logic, and I don't remember it very clearly either. It was roughly like, one second I was in a cave, and the next second I ran into a flower; one moment I was clearly fighting someone, and the next second I was inexplicably chatting with them.

Mysterious

Isolated Island Academy: The Robbery

I dreamt I was going to school on a small island with my friends, and then a female bandit hijacked the entire school. If we didn't listen to her, she would kill us. At first, it was fine; she didn't have that many demands, and we got used to it. But later, people started dying inexplicably, and only then did fear begin to slowly spread and ferment. (Many people died inexplicably, but I only remember two cases.) That time, my friend and I were walking downstairs in the school normally, heading to the field for morning exercises and to listen to the principal's speech. While listening to the principal, I turned around as usual to chat with my friend. But shortly after I turned, I heard a loud bang, followed by the screams of students and teachers. My friend stood there, dumbfounded. So I asked her what happened. She told me: The principal exploded. Me: ? So I pushed through the crowd to the front, and saw the principal all over the floor of the podium. (You know what I mean.) Another time, my friend and I were lining up at the cafeteria for food, and the female bandit walked up beside our line, watching us. Then she suddenly pulled out a gun and aimed it at a male student. The male student suddenly seemed to turn into a monkey, very nimbly grabbing the edge of the window with his hands and swinging out just like that. The female bandit followed closely behind, leaping onto the window, and fired a shot at the 'monkey' in mid-air. And so, that male student turned into a red firework between the two teaching buildings. (The female bandit seemed to be using a shotgun.) People were dying completely at random. Everyone was terrified and uneasy, and we all started keeping our heads down, hoping not to be the next one. Until one time, when we were lining up again, I turned around to chat with my friend as usual. Then the female bandit suddenly started handing out flyers on the side. Although it was baffling, everyone took one anyway—who would want to risk their life? So I reached out to take one too, but right as my hand was about to touch the flyer, I suddenly froze. I don't know why, I just froze. Then I saw the female bandit pull out her gun, and my body suddenly moved out of my control, flying under the eaves to hide, just like a monkey. But while my body was out of control, I suddenly remembered something: the female bandit had never stopped us from leaving the school? Many people had wanted to leave the school before, and the female bandit never stopped them. But we never saw any rescuers, nor did we ever see the people who left again. The school clearly occupied 90% of the island, yet we never heard their voices or saw any traces of their lives. It was as if they vanished into thin air the moment they left the school. Then, as if hearing my thoughts, my body started running outward. Sure enough, the female bandit didn't shoot at me again. The moment I left the school, I regained control of my body, but it was a bit different. I noticed my body was translucent. I was dead; I was now a soul. Then I looked at the female bandit. She made eye contact with me, as if she could look a soul in the eye, and then she signaled with her eyes for me to go behind the school. So I went. There, I saw some people like me. Behind the school was a tree, and there was a lot of fruit on the tree. Someone told me the female bandit said that as long as we ate the fruit, we could leave this island and go to the outside world. So I ate it. Because the fruit was sweet and delicious, I even ate a few extra. Then I headed to the beach, where I saw someone rowing a boat to pick me up. I got on the boat, and shortly after boarding, I wanted to turn around and look at the island, but I woke up before I could turn my head.

The Mystery of the Teaching Building Wilderness and the Parallel Self

First, I was changing my bottoms in the restroom of the teaching building. I draped the pants I took off over the partition, looked at myself in the mirror above the sink: hair, face, top, bottoms, and then went out. I found the classrooms and corridors completely empty. Startled and bewildered, I walked further. Twos and threes of people appeared in the corridor. I asked them where this was, and they answered me: the wild.\nThe wild, in the wild. Is it the wild of the African savanna, or the wild of the Zhou dynasty's 'wild men'? Is it the wild of 'killing my spring in the wild', or the wild of 'the great hermit hides in the court, the middle hermit in the city, the minor hermit in the wild'? I suddenly looked down in panic and realized I had still worn the wrong bottoms, so I ran back to the restroom with all my might, only to find that the pants resting on the partition had already been swapped for the correct pair.\nAfter changing and going out, everything in the teaching building was back to normal. The bell rang; it was time for class.\n\nThen it was me sitting at my desk in the dorm, watching an instructional video on quantum physics: observation, existence, possibility, parallel universes. I turned my head and found myself in my high school uniform appearing under the opposite bed. My roommate panicked, asking what was wrong. I said it was nothing; I had also seen another me when I listened to my high school homeroom teacher talk about wave-particle duality.\nI asked myself, do you feel anything? I said, I have no memories, and therefore no feelings. I asked, then where do you come from? I answered, from a giant character 'Desolation'.\nThen it dawned on me: so it was a giant desolate wilderness! The origin is such, the destination knows neither rain nor shine, and the world is one. I said, then you should go back. The high school me looked into my eyes and said, why should it be me, why shouldn't you go back?\nSo I stood up and threw her out the window: dodging her pulling, prying apart her struggles, watching her fall. Under the ginkgo tree, she turned into a golden snub-nosed monkey.

Dreaming of Elite Animals Hunted: Maomao and Allies' Mysterious Escape

I had a dream. I dreamt that a group of bad animals was hunting down good animals. There were many elites among the good animals. In one sequence, a good animal named Maomao, skilled in martial arts, was chased and hunted down by a bad animal hunter while hauling cargo. After a scuffle, Maomao found himself at a disadvantage and quickly fled. Along the way, he drew the attention of Youyou and its micro-sprites, who collect energy, affection, and power. He also knocked open the door to the house of Hagel, the bow-hunter. But Hagel was a ranged fighter, and all the arrows he fired were dodged by the hunter. Over the course of a struggle lasting more than ten minutes, the hunter's stamina gradually waned. Finally, seizing the moment he landed on his own cargo, Maomao hastily overturned the cart and made his escape.

Dream Exploration: Recovering a Body in a Ruined Goddess Temple, Braving the Underworld to Uncover the Mysteries of Life and Death

A ruined goddess temple, covering a massive area. Upon entering, although there was a statue of the goddess, it lacked divine consciousness. While a group of girls and I were wandering around and digging randomly, we found the sealed body of the goddess. The body was in a large chest not far from the statue. After opening the chest, the goddess's body returned to its place like a soul possessing it, but the head was sealed elsewhere. We opened an area map that looked like a video game map, and then searched for the location of the goddess's head based on intuition. At this time, a group of men arrived. The leader felt like he was on the same tier as the goddess. Our intuition told us that he was the one who had beheaded her, so some of us distracted him while others continued searching for the head. The people searching for the head split into two groups: one dug into the ground, and the other destroyed surface structures. After searching for a long time (it seemed we gained magic powers after the goddess's body was restored, allowing us to move objects), I found a hoe. To avoid drawing the men's attention, I used magic to pull the hoe over. I then arrived at a place that looked like a suppression site and directed the hoe to dig. It dug for a long time with no news on my end, but the other group found the goddess's head while destroying a vertical tower. As soon as the seal was broken, the goddess sent us out of the temple. I arrived at a place like a bus stop—a canopy supported by two wooden pillars. There were three people under the canopy: a living soul, two dead souls, and me. I didn't belong to either category; I was neither a living soul nor a dead soul. It seemed that after the goddess's soul was restored, I could go anywhere with a legitimate status. The living soul was male, holding a pass in his hand (like a small stone carved with a Naruto symbol, only the size of a thumb). After he took it out, the canopy seemed to pass an authentication check and began moving rapidly as a whole. It reached the edge of a cliff and plunged straight down, seemingly arriving in the underworld. It was incredibly huge down there. The living soul and I went to the information desk. He seemed to be looking for someone (I've forgotten who), but his aura of a living soul was very obvious. The people at the desk were about to call someone to arrest him, but he presented the pass, so they told him to go to the second floor to search. I seemed to be purely sightseeing. There were many escalators in that hall. We took an escalator to the second floor, and as soon as we got up there, it felt like the Huaqiangbei electronics market, with stalls selling all kinds of products. There were many young people inside, and I sensed that they had all died of sudden cardiac arrest. After reaching the second floor, the living soul and I separated. I went further ahead to a place like a restaurant. There were quite a few people eating inside. I didn't seem to order any food; I just sat there to rest my feet. A few people at my table were chatting, so out of curiosity, I asked them which generation of iPhone they had updated to. One guy said that phones update too fast in the underworld now, and he didn't even know what generation it was anymore. Others were complaining about how quickly phones were replaced. Later, it seems I went to another place, but after recording the previous parts, I can't remember the rest.

Earth's Destruction: The Angels' Immortality Scam and Cultivating a Lonely New Home

I had a dream last night that the Earth was about to be destroyed. A group of angels disguised as humans chose me and sent me to an alien planet, which was the new home they had selected for humanity. The angels had already replicated some buildings on the planet, but they lacked someone to reclaim and cultivate the land, so they chose me. I was to cultivate the planet all alone for 144 years, until the Earth was destroyed 144 years later and all of humanity migrated over. To make me willing to come to this alien planet and cultivate it, the angels secretly orchestrated a series of events that caused conflicts and friction between me and the people around me, severing my emotional ties with others on Earth so that I would have no attachments left and could go to the alien planet without looking back. But how could an ordinary human live for 144 years? So the angels told me that although I had to farm in solitude for 144 years, they were also giving me a gift: immortality. At first, I was quite happy to hear this news; immortality was something I had always desired, and trading 144 years for infinite life seemed like a pretty good deal. But then it suddenly occurred to me: if the angels could manipulate me and sever my feelings for Earth, then my desire for immortality might also have been implanted by them. The angels seemed to wear a somewhat sly smile, silently acknowledging this. These angels were very interesting; they didn't have the wings and halos of traditional angelic imagery, nor did they have divine faces. In appearance, they were completely ordinary people wearing ordinary clothes. Not only did they look like humans, but they also behaved like human corporate drones. My first day on the alien planet was quite lively; the angels had set up some Earth-like buildings, including a fast-food restaurant, where they ate and chatted. By the second day, the angels were gone, leaving only one manager who was packing up and getting ready to leave, telling me that dropping me off meant their task was complete and they were clocking out from work. See you in 144 years.

A Security Guard Holds a Concert, and It Turns Out to Be Jacky Cheung?

I just had a dream where I was eating peanuts with some security guards. There were quite a few of them, and they said the best job in China is being a security guard. Later, one of the guards went to hold a concert, and it turned out he was Jacky Cheung.
