The anchor reads the classics and accompanies you to say goodnight. Hi everyone, here is Lightning Night Reading. I am Yixiao, the anchor of Wucheng Fusion Media, and I will share with you Feng Zikai's article "Morning Dream" tonight.
I often know in my dreams that I am dreaming. In the morning, when I am not awake, this situation is most common, and this is not a miracle unique to me alone, and people often express the same feeling when I say it.
Recently, I have experienced this situation in particular: my wife went to her hometown for a long time, leaving her two children here and leaving them in my hands. I sleep with them every night. They slept first, and at nine o'clock it was quiet, and I started reading and writing, often in the middle of the night, before I got into their bed. As soon as dawn broke, the child woke up, rattling like a bird in my ear, and urging me to get up. However, at this time, I was dreaming in the morning, faintly hearing their noise, and swimming in the dream. They told me not to wake up, closed their mouths to my ears, and shouted "Daddy!" Get up"! Immediately pulled me out of the dream.
Sometimes my dream is reaching the climax of my excitement, or before it is over, I reply to them, tell them to sing another song, let me sleep, quickly cover my head, and continue my sleepwalking. This will indeed continue, even two or three interruptions. But the situation at that time was very peculiar: while looking for the clues of the dream and continuing to evolve, you could faintly hear the fragments of their singing voices. That is, while enthusiastically dreaming about things, while knowing that this is an illusory dream. There is the fake self who sleepwalks, and at the same time there is the real self that accompanies the child to sleep.
But when the child cried or the dream was over, I got up resolutely. When you get out of bed and the mindfulness of "what is the priority today" condenses in your mind, the delusions in your dream are immediately discharged from the accident, and who still lingers or calculates?
"Life is like a dream", this is what the ancients have long said, and it is also recognized by all people. Then our lives are—like my morning dreams—in dreams that we know we are dreaming. Together, these thoughts of doubt and sorrow dominated me and made me finally unable to explain. Often without the courage to exhaustively investigate, they just put it aside and have to talk about it for a few days. This is not my private opinion alone, and many people must have expressed the same feelings!
Because this is one thing that everyone sees: the seven-foot body of the infinite universe, and the decades in the infinite catastrophe, and can go up to the secrets of the poor astral realm, explore the treasures of the earth, build the beautiful land of poetry, and open up the mysterious realm of philosophy. However, when this fragile shell is damaged and decayed, this great mind is gone without a trace, and there will never be such a thing again. The laughter of this "me", the longing of youth, the sorrow of middle age, reputation, property, love... How serious, how solemn at that time; However, on that day, there was no such thing as "me"! Lament, "life is like a dream"!
"Life is like a dream!" Don't take this phrase as a literary ornament! It's a stick! What the ancients said, we painfully acknowledged and acknowledged. The big dreams of our lives are—like my morning dreams—knowing in our dreams that we are dreaming. While we are enthusiastically dreaming about things, we know that this is an illusory dream. We have the false self of our dreams, and we have the true self of our dreams. When we resolutely get up, put on clothes and get out of bed, and when the mindfulness of our true self is condensed in our hearts, the delusions in our dreams are immediately put to laugh at, who still lingers or cares?
Friends of the same dream! We all have our true selves, don't forget this true self, and indulge in illusory dreams! We need to know in our dreams that we are dreaming, and we always look for this true self.
