Digital Kingdom

Zhao Ziming woke up from his sleep, the sky was bright, and the morning light shone through the gaps in the curtains and sprinkled on the ground and bed.

Looking at the time, it’s already seven o’clock. This is the first time he has slept for so long. Li Rongrong cuddles in her arms, occasionally frowning on her beautiful face, which makes people feel pity. Last night’s carnival has exhausted her energy. , By the time it became clear, still drowsy.

Zhao Ziming looked at his lover tenderly, his hair messy but glamorous. Although he was sloppy outside, he still had a sincere heart for Li Rongrong. After all, he had come all the way from university and supported and supported each other.If there are no special circumstances, the habit of going home and rest will never change.

Li Rongrong may be aware of the romance of men. Don't underestimate the shrewdness of women in this area. However, when the body is weak and it is difficult for a person to satisfy his lover, she remains silent.

Although it sounds a bit shameful, this is life. If the couple's life is not harmonious, the relationship will be difficult to stabilize. Li Rongrong has been working hard, exercising, exercising, and studying.

Although it's late, Zhao Ziming doesn't want to get up. He hasn't slept in for a long time. Indulgence occasionally is a new experience.

He embraced his lover in his left hand, and touched his fingers unconsciously. The mind was empty. Last night's dream appeared clearly. The stimulus before going to bed dyed the whole dream crimson, from reality to illusion, the wine pond flesh forest, extremely corrupt.

However, Chunmeng is not the key. The key is that what he was doing was "lucid dreaming". When he fell asleep, he woke up in the illusory world, and then he became autonomous, knowing that he was dreaming and knowing that he could wake up at any time, even though Now, I can clearly remember the face of the person in my dream.

"Lucid dreams", Zhao Ziming only had one or two experiences in high school and college. Since he started to meditate, let alone "lucid dreams", he rarely does dreams. No matter how stimulating the day is, he can never sleep overnight. dream.

The reason for having another experience this time is all artificial stimulation.

Zhao Ziming looked at the black bracelet on his wrist, and remembered Gao Yongyan's words yesterday:

"Although we have not yet understood all the principles of dreams, we have successfully developed a bracelet that can "control dreams", Instadreamer (direct dreams). As long as you wear it for more than three hours, you can pass it. To control your dreams. The most incredible thing is that your dreams will be "lucid dreams", that is, you know that you are dreaming and can control the content of the dreams."

At that time, Zhao Ziming was surprised and unbelievable.

Although the "dream control system" has been researched and invested heavily; although the "brain portal system" has made breakthroughs and has achieved results; although...

However, it is still far away from success. The most optimistic estimate will take more than five years of accumulation. I did not expect to get the finished product so soon.

Not to mention other things, the appearance of the product alone has undergone tremendous changes, from gloves to bracelets, more than a little progress.It can be carried with you and will not disrupt sleep like the eye masks, electrode stickers or light and sound used in other products. From a commercial point of view, this is a leap of genius.

The "Direct Dreamland" bracelet, like an alien product, just appeared out of thin air. Zhao Ziming's first reaction was suspicion. After all, science is logical and impossible without warning. An epoch-making product must have long-term accumulation and requires countless people. It’s impossible to show up in one stroke of his head.

However, according to Gao Yongyan’s explanation, he learned that people have been conducting scientific research on lucid dreams since the 1960s.In the 1980s, a psychophysiologist named Stephen LaBerge proposed a technique to induce lucid dreams.

This technology can track a person's eye movements to determine when he is in a rapid eye movement state, and use a low tone or flashing red light to signal to the sleeping participants that they are dreaming, thereby achieving a "lucid dream" state .

Gao Yongyan has been interested in this since he was a child, has been exploring and researching, and even delayed his studies. There was no conditions before, but now with the strong support of the laboratory, he has become more powerful and influenced by Stephen, and quickly made breakthrough results.

Zhao Ziming leaned his hand ring in front of him and observed it carefully. The black wristband plus an electronic component the size of an index finger cover, looks just like a normal bracelet, without any high-tech features.

According to Gao Yongyan, the bracelet also has functions such as heart rate monitoring and step counting.But the difference is that there is no need to enable any Bluetooth WiFi, there is a 100% independent device (offline), once the network that the phone can access is detected (the phone will be automatically shared), the data will be uploaded to the phone).

Zhao Ziming is very curious, how does this little thing realize the function of science fiction?

You know, in the actual scientific basis, there is no scientific evidence to prove that the product is feasible.

Gao Yongyan explained a lot. The complexity of the principle is not clear from Zhao Ziming's mind, but it can be explained in one sentence:

"The operation of the product is based on Pavlovian conditioned reflex (slobbing subconsciously when you hear the sour plum). Simply put, when you have a lucid dream, you will know that you are in a dream."

The reason why it is required to wear for more than three hours is to detect various physical indicators and use artificial intelligence simulation calculations to adapt to individual needs. At the same time, during the wearing process, there will be occasional vibrations to let the subconscious adapt to "this is in real life. in."

When going to bed at night, the bracelet guides people into the dream state through a specific frequency. When the REM (rapid eye movement) state is detected (indicating that they should be dreaming at this moment), it immediately vibrates to "half wake" the person. He doesn't wake up completely, but it is enough to make people realize in the dream that this is a dream.But the dream continues.

Zhao Ziming remembers clearly that Gao Yongyan called this stage "reality check". When he gets used to it after repeated use, one person can easily control the dream.

"Is this thing really a chicken rib?" Zhao Ziming's thoughts were flying wildly.

If you can control and design dreams, then you really mean "inception of dream space" and you will become the master of dreams.

Thinking about the market prospects is enough to make people crazy. Who doesn’t have any illusions, such as becoming a president, or a celebrity, dating your dream lover, actually dating, violent venting, erotic carnival... it sounds true It's a bit too exaggerated!

All human fantasy can be realized one by one!

Flying into the earth, omnipotent!

He even thought of the advanced sequence of Pirates in just one second: entering a dream-phantom dream-building a dream-stealing dream-primordial spirit-everything.

It is a pity that ideals are full, and reality is very skinny.

According to the experimental data of the Y1 team, only experimenters who have worn the bracelet for more than a month can construct a simple dream, such as an empty room, simple animals, water, fire, etc. No matter how complex it is, it is impossible.

As for creating people in dreams, you can only make rigid toys. If you have to make them and keep working hard, the dream space will be broken and you will wake up completely.

Gao Yongyan guessed that it may be the consciousness in the state of "lucid dream", unable to take on too complicated things.

Currently, his team has not found the practical use of Instadreamer, which seems a bit tasteless.Just like the popular ppt entrepreneurship, the future is very strong, and the prospect is very NB. You can see the goddess in your sleep, but you can't find a place to stay.

Yesterday at Dream, the researchers in the Y1 project team were a little frustrated. If they don’t experience much fun in their dreams, what's the point of doing "lucid dreams"?

On the contrary, it may affect the rest of the next day, resulting in malaise during the day.

Even if an energetic person like Zhao Ziming overslept after a night of spring dreams, and even forgot the daily meditation morning class, most people can imagine that a night of "lucid dreams" might cause a headache.

Experimental data shows that the longest lucid dream record is only forty minutes, and if it is longer, the brain will automatically activate the defense mechanism.

Moreover, according to Gao Yongyan, the bracelet can only assist the consciousness in designing simple dreams. What dreams do and how to do it is completely personal.

But on the other hand, individual differences have little effect on the results of the experiment. Almost everyone’s dreams are very simple.

It doesn't matter whether it is wearing a bracelet for 30 days or 300 days, whether it is an ordinary person or a professional trainer, there is not much difference.

The team did a control test at that time.

30 people who were tested, 15 of them were trained to strengthen physical exercises, learn related skills, and improve endurance before using Instadreamer. They were fully prepared for "lucid dreaming", but the results of the experiment were almost No difference.

It may also be because the sample data is too small and the result is not accurate.However, Gao Yongyan judged that it is almost impossible to increase the complexity and reality of dreams through acquired training.

He tried many methods, including experimenting with people with rich imagination and a stronger sense of space, but he still didn't have any clue.Although it allows people to control dreams, they cannot create dreams like "Inception". If this problem is not solved, the dream control system will not have much prospects.

The experience of "lucid dreaming" can be experienced once in a while. No one wants to stay in the boring illusion all the time. The reality is already boring enough, and it is horrible to continue in the dream.

Moreover, according to the calculation of related costs, the bracelet will almost have to be sold for 240 US dollars (nearly 1,600 yuan) in order to not lose money. Except for some geeks, no one would spend so much money on something that is almost useless.

You can imagine Gao Yongyan's frustration. He finally made a major breakthrough. He thought that Genesis was right in front of him. He was ecstatic, but he found that there was no way forward, and he was extremely desperate.

Zhao Ziming noticed something was wrong and went to the laboratory. Although it was not helpful, he could do it by giving everyone a holiday and encouragement. By the way, he could take the ring home and experience it for himself. It is also a kind of spirit. stand by.

Zhao Ziming took his lover's hand off his body carefully, as if feeling something, Li Rongrong rolled over inadvertently, exposing a large area of ​​white skin, which was greedy.

If you want to exercise, and for fear of hurting the opponent's body, you can only converge your mind, put your attention in front of you, step on the thick carpet barefoot, and walk to the French window.

The sun is shining and the weather is rare.

It's a bit strange to say, why did my dream last night come alive, as if it were real?

Is it because of long-term meditation that causes energy to be different from ordinary people?Otherwise, he couldn't think of a good explanation.

He who has experienced mysterious things is neither unfamiliar nor entangled with these mysterious things. Among hundreds of millions of people, there are always one or two with special constitutions.

Since meditation, he has never met anyone with the same experience. Although there are many people who meditate and meditate, a trend has gradually formed from the West to the East. Even within the company, there are many enthusiasts who are good. , The next will be very Yan.

However, after a little contact, Zhao Ziming knew that his experience was unique. Others were just a kind of self-cultivation and even self-fantasy. They had never had the mysterious experience he experienced.

According to the information he found, from ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of people who have had mysterious experiences.

While this makes him happy, there is also a sense of loneliness. If, as he guessed, a mysterious illusion is created with the help of the bracelet, then he may be the first to discover the benefits of "mysterious experience" in all ages. people.

According to the famous book "The Varieties of Religious Experience" by William James, the first American psychologist, although "mysterious experience" brings practitioners closer to their gods, it has no other use for the time being, that is, a kind of harmony between nature and man. 1. The experience of returning ten thousand laws to the clan.

According to Gao Yongyan’s tips, the greater the external stimulus, the easier it is to create related situations in dreams. For example, riding a horse during the day, creating a pony at night is easier, staying in an empty room during the day is easier to create an empty room at night .

He naturally didn't have much time to ride a horse, stay alone, simply drawing on the spot, deliberately carnival indulgence, without restraint, and finally created a reality in the illusion, with some unknown experience.

Judging from the experience last night, the "real dream" is likely to be achieved by people who meditate for a long time and achieve mysterious experiences.

However, the sample is too small, almost negligible, and even a second test product cannot be found. Perhaps some ascetics have the same experience, but to find such a person is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Even if they are found, how can they be persuaded to cooperate with the experiment? We must know that people who have had a "mysterious experience" have extremely firm belief in them and will not be moved by any foreign objects.

Let them use them as guinea pigs and tell them that your so-called "gods" can be explained by science, no less than denying their beliefs. Just think about it, it is better to kill them.

Zhao Ziming drank his mouth water, walked to the retreat room, and started daily practice.
