Chapter 29 Breakthrough
Lin Xian felt that what Dr. Liu said was a bit alarmist.

But I can't blame others. After all, I didn't tell the truth. From Dr. Liu's point of view, I am more like a terminally ill patient.

Lin Xian felt that it would be a waste of time to continue chatting, so he might as well ask a professional question:

"Doctor Liu, I would like to consult you.

"Is there a way... that can allow me to accurately understand that my dreams are false, unreal, and completely fictitious?"

Doctor Liu smiled naturally:

"Of course there is a way. This is a very simple question. Although normal people cannot distinguish reality from dreams, they rarely cannot distinguish dreams from reality."

"The reason is... [In dreams, people you know in real life usually appear. Once you wake up and compare their behaviors, you can immediately tell who is real and who is fake.] This is also the simplest and most effective way to distinguish them."

"Let me give you an example, Mr. Lin."

Doctor Liu picked up the pen in his hand and pointed at Gao Yang:

"If one day you dream that Gao Yang has turned into a woman and is clamoring to marry you, will you still doubt that this dream is real?"

"Of course not."

Lin Xian frowned:

“It’s a nightmare.”

Doctor Liu smiled:

"Let me give you another example. Suppose you find out that your company no longer produces cosmetics, but is secretly manufacturing rockets and spacecraft. Would you think this is realistic?"

"That certainly won't happen... I'm not a fool."

At this point, Lin Xian finally understood.

I see……

Normal people do not need to consider complicated things such as waking up, pain, and feeling of weightlessness when judging the difference between dreams and reality.

They only need to wake up and open their eyes, compare the things, events, and people in their dreams with the actual situation in reality, and then they can conclude that they are dreaming in one second.

But he can't do that.

Because when he dreams... [he never dreams of people he knows in real life].

It's not like he hadn't realized this problem before, but at the time he didn't think it was important, so he didn't take it to heart.

But think about it now.

Why do other people dream about people they know in real life?

But he can't do it?

In these twenty years or so, I have never dreamed of anyone I know in real life.

Including Gao Yang, who was my best friend and whom I had grown up with, never appeared in my dream once.

Isn't this the biggest unreasonable thing in his dream?

……

Doctor Liu looked at Lin Xian and asked softly:
"Mr. Lin, you have been dreaming for so many years, have you really never dreamed of anyone you know or are familiar with?"

Lin Xian shook his head:
"No, not one... all strangers."

Doctor Liu narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Xian with a deep gaze:
"You need to think about this carefully, kid."

She spoke in a low voice, word by word:
"real……"

"Not one?"

Lin Xian was thinking hard.

No.

Really do not have.

not a single one.

From childhood to adulthood, in these twenty years or so, all the people in my dreams are strangers without exception.

Not to mention dreaming about classmates, friends, and colleagues...

Even my parents and grandparents, who I have been closest to since childhood, have never appeared in my dreams.

"Lin Xian, have you never dreamed of me once?"

Gao Yang pointed at himself:

"That's impossible? We've been playing together since we were in the crotchless pants. You can't have never dreamed of me once, right?"

Lin Xian shook his head.

It really hasn't happened even once. Gao Yang scratched his head, unable to figure it out:

"I never asked you this before, but now I think it's really abnormal! They say that you dream about something at night, and you can even dream about the Rhine cat in real life... Why can't you dream about me? Am I not as impressive as a cat in your heart?"

"That won't happen."

"I often dream about you!" Gao Yang counted on his fingers:
"You've been a frequent visitor in my dreams since we were little. We often played pranks together in our dreams. Just a few days ago, I dreamed that we made a fortune, and then I took you to play on a yacht!"

Doctor Liu also stopped writing and looked at Lin Xian with a little doubt:

"Generally speaking, I don't dream about acquaintances every day...but it's hard to believe that you haven't encountered an acquaintance in your dreams for more than 20 years."

"It doesn't have to be someone you're very familiar with. Even if it's a friend you've only met once, or a colleague you come into contact with at work, have you ever dreamed about them?"

Lin Xian shook his head:
"No."

"Then... let's think about it again. Have you ever dreamed of characters in cartoons and movies, or movie stars?"

……

The whole room fell into a long silence.

Lin Xian, Gao Yang and Dr. Liu remained silent.

"Cough cough."

Gao Yang coughed twice in embarrassment and tried to smooth things over:
"Liu... Doctor Liu, please don't be offended. It's really not that Lin Xian is deliberately not cooperating with the treatment! I have known him for a long time, and he is not the kind of person who can't tell the situation clearly."

"It's just that Lin Xian's illness may be a little different from others. It's definitely a difficult and complicated disease! I can guarantee you with my character! Lin Xian is definitely not lying!"

Doctor Liu smiled slightly.

She took off her glasses, wiped them with a glasses cloth, and looked at Lin Xian and Gao Yang tenderly:
"Don't worry, kids. I believe every word you say. I've come across many patients like Lin Xian before."

"According to my previous treatment experience, if patients are to clearly distinguish between dreams and reality and dispel such concerns, a breakthrough is definitely needed."

"And this breakthrough...is often a person that is deeply remembered, often appears in dreams, and is someone that one cannot forget."

Doctor Liu put on his glasses again and looked at Lin Xian with encouragement:

"So, Lin Xian, you must think about it carefully, think carefully, and recall it seriously..."

"Even if it's just a little clue, a little lead, or a little suspicion."

“[In your dream, is there someone who makes you feel familiar or like you’ve seen him before?]”

Gao Yang also stepped forward.

Patting Lin Xian on the back:

"Don't be impatient, think about it carefully and take your time."

Lin Xian lowered his head and closed his eyes.

He rested his arms on his knees and covered his face with his hands.

Empty your mind...

CC.

The first thing that came to his mind was the strange girl wearing an Ultraman mask.

Lin Xian didn't know what she looked like.

But the sound of her speaking...

It really gives me a feeling of déjà vu, her voice is very familiar to me.

Lin Xian must have heard CC's voice in real life, but he couldn't remember when or where it happened.

People hear so many sounds every day that Lin Xian really can’t remember them all.

What's more, Lin Xian had thought about it before. There are too many people with the same voice in real life. This is not something worth mentioning at all.

But if we follow what Dr. Liu said, and insist on finding a similarity between the dream and reality...

【CC's voice is the only possible clue. 】

……

"I understand."

Lin Xian opened his eyes:

"If I have to say, there is indeed someone who seems familiar to me. At least I think I have heard her voice before."

He has already figured out what to do.

After I fell asleep tonight, I tried to take off CC's mask...

See who she really is!
