The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 52 First Exploration of Dreams
Qingdao Special Abilities Research Institute.

Antisocial Personality Monitoring Group.

Office of the person in charge, Chen Xingyang.

A member of the inspection team was standing at the door reporting:

"Boss, according to the movement trajectory provided by headquarters..."

"We still haven't found any valuable clues."

"Look..."

Chen Xingyang rubbed his temples, as his migraine symptoms had worsened due to lack of sleep.

Faced with questions from the members of the inspection team, he was completely clueless.

When Chen Xingyang obtained Zhao Yongxuan's movements over the month leading up to his death last night, he felt that the case was now in the bag.

However, after an all-night analysis, they still couldn't find the source of the drug, not even the slightest clue.

After a moment's thought, he spoke:
"Let's take it one step at a time."

"Let's first visit Zhao Yongxuan's social circle. He doesn't have many friends, and he doesn't have much contact with his family. His workload isn't heavy."

"Find a few experienced people to go and take a look."

The member of the inspection team snapped to attention: "Yes, sir!"

However, just before he left, Chen Xingyang called him back:
"and many more!"

"..."

"Remind the brothers going on the mission to be careful. Everyone knows Zhao Yongxuan's situation at that time, so don't take any risks."

"If you find any problems, call for backup."

Inspection team member: "Yes!"

Chen Xingyang was the only one left in the office. He watched as his brothers went out one by one to carry out their missions, and he also decided to set off.

The inspection team is currently facing a heavy workload and a severe shortage of manpower.

The list of Z-series personnel on the questionnaire clearly had significant omissions. The number of people going to the neurology department for examinations has been increasing recently. To ensure safety, they need a large number of people working in shifts at various hospitals. Even many people from the Qing City Institutional Network Group have been temporarily transferred to the monitoring group... but there are still not enough people.

The investigation into that drug has now completely stalled.

Coupled with a shortage of manpower, these numerous obstacles made Chen Xingyang feel increasingly overwhelmed.

He took a deep breath.

"We can't rush things..."

"Haste makes mistakes."

He looked at the documents in his hand, and at Zhao Yongxuan's movements over the month before his death.

How exactly was the 15,000 yuan spent on medicine?
Where did he come into contact with this drug seller?

Why do drug sellers completely disappear after selling their drugs?
Chen Xingyang knew that as long as there was a breakthrough in any of these three questions, or even just the slightest clue, everything would be pieced together, and the drug seller would definitely be caught.

But here's the problem: they currently have no leads.

Chen Xingyang continued to ponder:

"What is the purpose of selling medicine? To generate profit? No, if it were to generate profit, then sales would not have stopped..."

“If he doesn’t stop selling, our surveillance at the hospital will definitely find some clues.”

"If it's not for profit... then it's to alleviate Zhao Yongxuan's symptoms of schizophrenia?"

"But it was ultimately proven that the reason Zhao Yongxuan lost his mind and merged with his awakened memories... was because that drug played a crucial role."

Why is there such a contradiction?

I had no clue what to do, and I had other work to do.

He had to interrupt his thoughts and refocus on processing other files.

The follow-up to this drug case can only be determined by the results of today's visit.

"Hopefully, I'll gain something from this."...

……

After returning to his dormitory, Jiang Chuan immediately sat down in front of his computer. He quickly brought up the interface of a short video app and prepared to "review" Li Yu's course "An Initial Exploration of Dreams".

A dream interpreter is undoubtedly the most authoritative person to interpret a dream.

He slowly dragged the progress bar, and the feeling of memory explosion he had experienced in the mental power course yesterday surged through his brain again.

"Dreaming is a normal physiological phenomenon in humans."

"It's not difficult to accurately control yourself in your dreams, but it does require some techniques."

"First, it's about realizing that you're dreaming."

"Through personal experience, everyone should know very well that when you are in a dream, you are rarely aware that you are dreaming. You usually only realize it after you wake up."

"To control dreams, you must first be able to distinguish between dreams and reality."

"The simplest way is to record your dreams."

Those fragments of knowledge began to connect, and more and more keywords were extracted, forming a network like a tree diagram.

Record your dreams, write down the dreams you usually have, and let your body remember the feeling of dreaming. You can then use this feeling to determine whether you are dreaming or not.

"To make this progress, there is a little trick: you can record your dreams during your afternoon nap."

"According to modern science, dreaming often occurs during the REM sleep stage. If you skip the REM stage and enter deep sleep, you are very likely to forget the dreams you had. However, a nap usually only lasts for one sleep cycle, which can improve efficiency."

"Once the first step is completed, controlling dreams becomes relatively simple."

"Whatever you want."

"You are the master of your dream world."

……

"But it is meaningless to merely become the master of illusion. The core function of this course is to serve the awakening of memories."

"Dream exploration can effectively uncover deeper secrets hidden within awakened memories, making original abilities stronger and even finding pathways that are more compatible with awakened memories."

……

"I must emphasize that dreams need to be controlled. Unrestrained venting of desires can lead to personality changes, or even mental illness. There have been cases where cognitive problems have occurred."

“The initial training is not very risky, but once dependence develops, it is essential to seek assistance and psychological counseling. Zen Buddhism and Taoism both have methods to deal with this situation.”

"It must be noted that, apart from dreams brought about by awakened memories, all other dreams experienced by an individual are illusions and should never be explored in depth."

The knowledge that bursts forth is automatically organized in the brain.

Jiang Chuan, however, frowned.

A problem occurred.

He never dreamed.

It wasn't just the past life dreams that awakened his memories; he had never had any ordinary dreams from childhood to adulthood.

What's the point of discussing dream exploration then?
Jiang Chuan originally thought that he could achieve the same dream entry ability as Li Yu through the course and see what his dream world was like.

However, the course does not teach how to become a dream interpreter, but rather provides awakened individuals with a way to deeply explore their abilities.

Jiang Chuan thought helplessly, "This method is completely useless for me..."

But just as Jiang Chuan was thinking this, he suddenly thought of something else.

Although the video playback had been paused, Li Yu's voice could still be heard:

"Once one's mental strength reaches a certain level, one can easily achieve lucid dreaming even without dream training."

"Dreams ultimately originate from the brain and are inseparable from the strength of one's mental energy."

"If you can achieve complete control over your dreams, you can begin to explore the dreams brought about by awakened memories. This lesson will then be considered a comprehensive understanding."

"After you have done this, if you are still interested in dream manipulation, you can proceed to the next lesson, 'The In-Dream Master's Guide'."
