Chapter 401 (1/2)
There is no essential difference between fainting and falling asleep. Both are for the body's self-protection to give a certain degree of rest to the consciousness and brain.
When people are awake, they can't be idle for a moment. The activity of consciousness leads to the tension of the body and brain all the time. Long term tension and excitement will make some functions disordered. At this time, the body will adjust itself, which can also be regarded as a kind of self-protection. By blocking the connection between consciousness and body, people will enter a state of sleep and let the body relax completely. In this relaxed state, life can better adjust the environment to obtain the opportunity of evolution.
When the body is stimulated by external forces, drugs or some special circumstances, the brain will also protect itself and block the connection between sensory nerves and consciousness. Sometimes it is to make the body better self-regulation, sometimes it is purely to make the brain feel no pain. Of course, sometimes the brain makes mistakes, which belongs to misjudgment.
In either case, whether sleeping or fainting, the human subconscious still has the opportunity to move. The subconscious mind arranges and classifies information by accessing people's memory, and puts useless and harmful information into the insensitive areas of the cerebral cortex. Whether or not people wake up and when they wake up are also judged by the subconscious mind.
The information storage mode of human brain and computer is different. Theoretically, as long as you remember something, it will never disappear. Subconsciously processed information that is considered meaningless will be sent to the landfill like urban garbage. There is a mountain of garbage. The longer the landfill time, the harder it will be to find. You often feel that you remember something, but you can't remember it. That's because those things are buried too deep.
When the subconscious mind processes memory information, the most priority will be to deal with things with short time, high frequency and high mental intensity in the process of memory, which is the reason for ”thinking every day and dreaming at night”.
If you are doing something or thinking about a person all day, your subconscious will deal with the matter and the relevant information of that person first, and judge the usefulness of this information very objectively according to your situation, whether to load it into the garbage truck or put it in the urban exhibition hall.
When it is difficult to judge, the subconscious can even organize memory materials and perform various deduction in the dream space like an excellent screenwriter and detective. This is why some people say that dreams have the function of predicting the future, because a script arranged by the subconscious may be surprisingly similar to his real life.
Of course, this is extremely rare. On the one hand, if the subconscious finds the script unreasonable after deduction, it will try its best to help you avoid this kind of thing in reality. Therefore, people sometimes make strange decisions that are completely inconsistent with their temper, and even feel inexplicable. This is actually the role of the subconscious.
On the other hand, most people forget their dreams, even if they remember them, they are fragmented, because there is no one-way axis of time in the dream space. After waking up, people's apparent consciousness must transform the contents of dreams into stories that occur in a coherent three-dimensional space-time, which is very difficult. The deduction of the subconscious is very complex, and often countless possibilities are carried out simultaneously. The fragments can't be broken anymore, and it also consumes mental energy extremely. Therefore, it's very tired to have such a dream, and sober dreamers try their best to avoid it.
Su Huilan looked at the two aborigines lying on the ground and said, ”your feet are cruel enough. Will you cause a concussion if you faint severely?”
Aoki smoked and kicked around the scene. Then he leaned lazily against a tree and said, ”don't worry, I have a sense of propriety under my feet. If they kick too lightly, they may wake up before they have time to dream.”
Su Huilan said anxiously, ”I'm afraid the people of their tribe will come to reinforce.”
Aoki said, ”it's better to come. We attract them and the two people who escaped will be safe.”
”How do you know it's two?”
”Guess. The bound man can't escape by himself. His companions must have come to save him.” Qingmu said, pointing to the corpses on the ground and the messy grass. ”The aborigines on the island don't wear shoes. There are two groups of shoe prints on the ground, in addition to ours. The big one came from there.”
