Chapter 41 1. A student haunted by nightmares
First, I want to say three things:
First, please believe that I have no choice but to do so;
Second, don't read this story late at night.If you don't listen to the advice and insist on doing this - I will not be responsible for the consequences;
Third, this is no ordinary story, and knowing it means you're going to be in some kind of danger.
Maybe you are listening in a cloud and don't understand what I'm talking about.Well then, let me put it a little more thoroughly - if you close the book now, go shopping and grab a snack, it's the right thing to do.
Get it - don't read this story - this is my last word of advice.
Things have to start after class that day. My occupation is a high school psychology teacher.You know, the kind of teacher who only shows up in your classroom once a week to give you a mild psychology class.My high school, like all high schools in the country, only focuses on test-taking subjects.Subjects that do not participate in the college entrance examination, such as psychology, will never be valued by the school.My career is clearly in an awkward position.But luckily, not all students think so. That day I finished the fourth class in the morning, went back to the office, sat down to rest for a while, drank a few sips of tea, and was ready to go home from get off work.Just when I was about to get up and leave, I saw Lan Tianyu from Class 12, Senior One, standing at the door of my office. He was the kind of honest student who was unknown in the class, with almost no features, and I could only remember him because he had a special last name.At this moment, he remained as shy and introverted as ever, and stood anxiously at the door of the office. I realized that he had encountered some kind of trouble and wanted to talk to me—to do psychological counseling with students, I was in school another responsibility. This is a normal thing, I receive one or two students like this every day.But I never imagined that this seemingly ordinary meeting would lead to a series of horrific and unexplainable strange events later. I sat down on the rattan chair again, and greeted the students at the door with the smile of a professional psychologist: "Come in, Lan Tianyu." He hesitated, looked at me a few times, walked in slowly, stood in front of me, bowed his head. The first thing he needs is to relax.I know. "Don't stand like you made a mistake." My tone was kind and friendly, and I dragged a chair from the side, "Come on, sit down and talk, what do you want from me?" Lan Tianyu sat in front of me with an anxious expression on his face. His eyes even conveyed a message of fear, which was different from the expression of ordinary adolescents when they encounter troubles.I speculated in my heart what happened to him, and didn't urge him to speak. After a while, he finally said, "Teacher Yu, I'm a boarding student. In the past few nights... I have encountered something incredible. I don't know how to understand it. I want to talk to you." I nod. "Say it." "It's been three days...Three nights in a row, this has happened..." He swallowed, and shivered unconsciously, as if recalling some terrible experience. I'm also a little curious now.Staring at him, he asked, "What the hell happened?" Lan Tianyu's face was pale: "It's like this. The night before yesterday, I was talking about... the early morning. I suddenly woke up from an extremely terrifying nightmare. I was so frightened that my heart was beating wildly and I was sweating profusely. Teacher Yu, I have never I had such a horrible nightmare... When I woke up, I was trembling with fright..." I understood a little bit, and comforted him: "It's not surprising, you are indeed under a lot of study pressure now, if the human cerebral cortex is in a state of tension for a long time, sometimes you will have very terrible nightmares at night..." "No, Teacher Yu, I haven't finished yet." Lan Tianyu interrupted me anxiously, "The crux of the problem is not the nightmare itself." I opened my mouth slightly: "What is that?" "I have a habit of putting my phone next to my pillow when I go to sleep. Whether I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom or wake up for other reasons. I will unconsciously look at the time displayed on the phone. That night I was haunted by a nightmare After waking up, I checked my phone as usual and realized that I woke up at 4.16am." I was stunned for a while and asked, "What's the matter? Does the time of 4:16 have any special meaning for you?" "No, no... I just glanced at it casually at the time, and didn't think much about it. But..." Lan Tianyu couldn't help shivering again, "What happened in the next two nights was simply unimaginable—— —This kind of situation actually happened continuously!” I shook my head, and I didn't understand: "You said... what happened continuously?" Lan Tianyu said in panic: "The night before yesterday, I had the same nightmare again, and was awakened again. I checked the time, and it was 4:16 again. It was still the same last night, and I woke up in a nightmare , my whole body was drenched in cold sweat, when I picked up my phone and saw the time..." "It's 4:16 again?" I asked. "yes." I stretched out my hand and compared: "That is to say, you have been awakened by the same nightmare for three consecutive nights, and the time of waking up is 4:16?" Lan Tianyu nodded vigorously, and anxiously asked a series of questions: "Teacher Yu, how could such a thing happen? I have never encountered such a strange thing in my life! What is wrong with me? This phenomenon is in the Is there any psychological explanation?" I stared at him, making quick judgments in my mind.In fact, I have roughly reached a conclusion in my heart, but for the sake of prudence, I still want to ask him a few more questions. "This nightmare you had for three consecutive days, can you describe to me the content of the dream?" To my surprise, Lan Tianyu shook his head and said, "I can't remember. Every time I wake up from that nightmare, I can't remember the content of the dream at all. I just know it's a terrible nightmare." I was keenly aware of the logical problem in his words: "Since you can't even remember the content of the dream, how do you know that you have had the same nightmare for three consecutive days?" "That's because...these three nights I woke up with exactly the same feeling. And although I can't remember what happened in the dream, I have some vague impressions...In short, I can guarantee that it is the same nightmare Seeing my questioning expression, Lan Tianyu became a little embarrassed, "I can't tell, maybe... just my intuition." "Okay." I didn't want to dwell on this issue any more, and asked again, "Apart from me, who else have you told about this matter?" "I only told it to Wu Haoxuan who slept in my bed. But he dismissed it as just a coincidence and told me not to take it to heart. But I don't think so, I know this thing must be unusual. Especially when I The third time, when I woke up from my dream last night, I had a very bad feeling... like, something is going to happen." Lan Tianyu raised his head to stare at me, and asked in fear, " What do you say, Teacher Yu? How can I explain the strange things I encountered? Do you know what this means?" Yes, I know—I thought silently in my heart—but like all experienced psychological counselors, I will not directly tell the patient about his mental illness, which may cause the patient's resentment and embarrassment. Resist mentality.I was thinking about how to use psychoanalytic therapy to treat Lan Tianyu's paranoia and obsessive-compulsive neurosis.
