Interpretation of Dreams

LittleMaster found himself receiving an IV drip.

The needle was stuck in the back of his hand, with red blood flowing inside the tube.

Without thinking too much, he pressed the C (pause?) key.

His breath tightened, and he suddenly felt choked, as if he were in a vacuum. The air in his body escaped through the needle hole.

LittleMaster was frightened and quickly pressed the pause key again.

After a few seconds, LittleMaster took a deep breath and finally felt that he could breathe again.

He took a few deep breaths and, unexpectedly, discovered a serious problem - he had no heartbeat.

This scared LittleMaster once again.

Oh my god, how could this happen? LittleMaster wondered. I have breathing but no pulse, what’s going on?

In the realm of elves, acute cardiac arrest is one of the main causes of death.

Fortunately, LittleMaster was in the Celestial Empire, and he didn’t give up on treatment. He started performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on himself, lying in bed at this point.

However, high-quality CPR has several key points:

• The compression rate should be at least 100 compressions per minute.
• The depth of compression for adults should be at least 5 centimeters.
• Ensure that the chest rebounds after each compression.
• Minimize interruptions in chest compressions.
• Avoid excess ventilation.

In this situation, LittleMaster’s condition seemed like a joke.

Additionally, no blood circulation meant no exchange of energy and oxygen. The body’s functions gradually ceased.

But LittleMaster was still able to move and perform chest compressions on himself, with such clear consciousness.

Although LittleMaster was confused, he did not stop his self-treatment.

After some effort, he woke up…

It was late at night, and it was quiet all around, without a sound.

Whenever he had a nightmare, LittleMaster would wake up to find that his hands were always pressed against his heart, but this time it was on the right side.

In his first year at the Mage Academy, LittleMaster was introduced to hypnosis. After each session, he would feel relaxed and comfortable. Later, he started listening to it before going to sleep every night, and his sleep quality improved significantly.

By chance, LittleMaster stumbled upon an ancient book called “Unveiling the Mysteries of the Human Mind”.

Unfortunately, the book was too thick, and when the due date came, LittleMaster had only read half of it.

But a manual is still a manual. For example, Mei Chaofeng only obtained half of the Nine Yin Manual and was still powerful enough to defeat Qiu Chuji and other old Taoists.

LittleMaster was shocked by Freud’s theory of the Oedipus complex, but he was inspired by the idea that “dreams are meant to fulfill certain desires.”

He was able to identify the reasons behind some of his dreams.

With the seemingly scientific explanation he obtained, combined with the boost from hypnosis, LittleMaster’s dreams gradually decreased.

PS: Many years later, LittleMaster read the remaining half of the book again and finally came across a description of dream control. Although it was only one sentence:

Some people can clearly know that they are sleeping and dreaming at night, so they seem to have the ability to guide their dreams with their will. For example, if these dreamers are unsatisfied with their dreams, they can interrupt the dream without waking up, and then start a new one in a different direction.

LittleMaster could only lament how life plays with people. It was so close, yet so far. If he had persisted and finished reading it back then, perhaps he wouldn’t have taken so many detours.

There is also another matter that will be mentioned later when there is a chance. [Ongoing]
