At 5:58 in the morning, Ji Thrush's biological clock made him open his eyes on time two minutes before the alarm clock rang.
It's just that although a person wakes up, half of his consciousness is still in the dream just now.
He stared fixedly at the ceiling.
The morning light is faint.
In the hazy and dim sky, the old ceiling of the dormitory showed a kind of light gray unique to old buildings, and there was a round ceiling lamp in the middle, which was nothing fancy, like an old plate upside down above the head.
Ji Thrush: "..."
He just lay on his back on the bed, staring at the old ceiling lamp that was so plain and worthless for a moment, not knowing where he was.
The dormitory is surprisingly quiet, only the low snoring of teammates in the neighboring bunk and the humming sound of ventilation coming from the air outlet of the central air conditioner.
At this time, the mobile phone alarm clock "beep beep" rang, breaking the silence in the room.
"Hmm..."
The roommate turned over, uttered vague dreams, covered his head with a thin quilt, and soon fell asleep again.
With a jolt, Ji Thrush woke up suddenly, raised his hand to stop the alarm clock, got up and got out of bed.
Another familiar and ordinary morning.
Because he didn't want to wake up his roommates, Ji Xiaoniao didn't plan to use the private bathroom in the dormitory, so he quickly packed the washbasin, toothbrush and towels, went downstairs, and walked to the water room on the first floor.
Along the way, Ji Thrush was in a trance.
He is still remembering what he saw in the dream.
As a sports student who practiced recurve bow since childhood, Ji Xiaoniao practiced hard every day, exhausting a lot of physical energy and energy. Every day when she lay in bed, she was so tired that her whole body was limp and unable to move. She could almost fall asleep with her eyes closed. I don't know what kind of experience "insomnia" is.
But for some reason, it seems that from a certain day, although Ji Thrush can fall asleep quickly, he always has some strange dreams.
These dreams are terribly real, almost as if they have been experienced in person, with bright colors, complete scenes, and shocking details.
There is an old saying, "thinking by day, dreaming at night", and Freud once said, "Dreams are the fulfillment of unrealized and repressed wishes in reality".
It stands to reason that Ji Thrush, a young man in his early eighteen years, lives in the school dormitory training ground at three points and one line every day, and his living environment is so simple that it can be called "boring". , or go home to eat such trivial things as the loving feast made by the old sister.
But the things he had dreamed about recently did not play out according to common sense. Not only was it not normal at all, but it was very weird.
So far, Ji Thrush still clearly remembers the scene he saw when he had this kind of strange dream for the first time.
In the dream, he was running in a city.
The empty streets have scenes he is familiar with, and it is the city where a training base he has been to is located.
But at this time, this big city with a population of nearly tens of millions was not only empty, but also completely covered by falling ash. The sky was covered with lead clouds, and fine pieces of ashes continued to fall from the sky, like snow.
The quarter-thrush even thought he could smell the sulfur that filled the city.
Next, he dreamed that he was running for his life in the city.
There are certain dangerous creatures in the city, such as dragonflies that can turn human bodies into ashes, or lizards that melt people into skeletons alive, and huge owls with wings patterned like human faces, and a dog-headed monster. Apes and more.
The season thrush in the dream fights against these monsters with two partners, trying to break out a way of escape.
Both companions gave him a feeling of incomparable kindness.
For some reason, Ji Thrush knew that he should trust them, rely on them, and fight side by side with them.
It's just a pity that when Ji Xiaoniao was awakened by the alarm clock and his consciousness was forcibly separated from the dream, no matter how hard he thought, he still couldn't remember the faces of those two people.
Recalling this, Ji thrush clenched his fist with his right hand and "knocked" twice on his forehead.
At first, Ji Xiaoniao thought that the reason why he had such a strange dream was because he spent half an hour before going to bed to watch a low-cost horror experimental movie.
He secretly reminded himself that it is enough to watch some funny cute things before going to bed. Such exciting things really affect the quality of sleep, so he put this matter behind him.
However, Ji Thrush never expected that this was just the starting point.
Because from that day on, the thrush began to dream frequently.
Sometimes it happens once every two or three days, and sometimes it happens two or three days in a row.
The dreams are long and short, and the scene is no longer fixed in that uninhabited city full of sulfur smell.
Or it should be said that the various scenarios are so rich that they are a bit fucked up.
As far as Ji Thrush can remember clearly after waking up, there are at least ten places.
He dreamed successively that he was dealing with monsters with only skeletons and brains left in a research institute; playing hide-and-seek for a limited time in an ancient mansion full of monsters; A poker board totaling twenty-four points...
When the weird dreams happened again and again, Ji Thrush had to face the reality, and could no longer use "it was just a sequelae of watching some horror movies" as an excuse.
He began to search the Internet for keywords such as "how to sleep well".
With the development of science and technology, online consultation has become quite common.
Ji Thrush secretly called the sleep department, and after chatting with a kind-hearted old doctor, the doctor felt that there was nothing wrong with him. It was probably just light sleep and dreaminess caused by young people's energy and rich imagination. You can observe first. Observation, there is no need for further examination for the time being, let alone taking medicine, and gently suggested that he can try to drink some milk before going to bed, and listen to light music or white noise to relax.
Ji Xiaoniao did so.
However, things didn't get much better.
He still has some strange dreams irregularly.
The self in the dream seems to be always facing the challenge of life and death, almost all the time either desperately, or on the way to desperately.
And there are more and more teammates fighting side by side with him, especially a few people, who always make him feel extra warm and familiar.
… No, or more than just “kindness.”
While walking, Ji Thrush recalled the scene in his dream, his eyes were empty, his footsteps drifted, like a wandering spirit.
Relying on the memory of his body, he walked all the way to the water room at the end of the first floor of the dormitory, put the washbasin under a faucet, and stood still.
—Yes, the "companion" in the dream can no longer be described with simple words such as "kind" or "familiar".
For Ji Xiaoniao, the companions who have fought side by side with him all the way are already equivalent to "relatives".
As long as Ji Thrush thinks of them, he will feel a warm feeling in his heart.
but…
Ji Xiaoniao stood in front of the faucet, frowning slightly.
—Why... I just can't remember what they look like
Yes, Ji Thrush couldn't remember what the person in the dream looked like.
Perhaps many people have had this experience.
In a dream, we may meet someone—this person may be your acquaintance, or it may be just a stranger who has never met before.
But in any case, even if the person's face is blurred, or if we wake up with no memory of his face, we will have a clear awareness of who the other person is.
Whether the other party is your parents, teachers, classmates, security staff, colleagues and bosses... or just a nurse in the hospital, or a policeman in the street, in the dream, they will all have a clear identity.
Such is the case with the quarter-thrush now.
He knew that those people were his companions.
In the dream, they fought by his side, cooperated seamlessly with him, and deserved all his trust.
However, he just couldn't remember the appearance of these people...
Obviously the scene in the dream is so specific, so detailed that even the details can be seen clearly, how can it be so fucked up that you can't even see your companion's face clearly!
"Hey!"
At this time, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.
"Little bird, what are you doing?"
Ji Thrush suddenly came back to his senses.
He looked back and found that it was Sun Ming, the eldest brother of the shooting team next door practicing ten-meter air pistol.
"I see you have been standing there for a minute? What are you thinking?"
While talking, Sun Ming walked to the faucet next door, took off the towel wrapped around his neck, turned on the water, and winked slyly at Ji Thrush:
"Could it be that you are thinking of some beautiful girl?"
Although Ji Xiaoniao is young, he is a celebrity in the training center. The coaches, team doctors, athletes, and even the aunts in the cafeteria can all recognize him by name.
There are three reasons, one is that the child has good grades at a young age, the other is that he has a good temper and self-discipline, and there is another point that everyone tacitly, this child has a cute face, looks obedient and lovable, especially won Dear sisters, sisters and aunts.
Sun Ming alone knew that there were two newly selected girls in the women's shooting team who had a crush on Ji Thrush.
So on the other hand, for a popular guy like Ji Thrush, it's quite normal for him to see the right girl.
Unexpectedly, Sun Ming just made a joke, but Ji Thrush's reaction was fast and swift.
"certainly not!"
Ji Xiaoniao shook her head vigorously, denying it very simply, without even a second of hesitation:
"I'm not thinking of any pretty girl!"
He paused, and then emphasized:
"I haven't met anyone I like yet!"
Sun Ming: "??"
The eldest brother held a wet towel in one hand, and maintained a gesture of wiping his face, with a slightly dazed expression.
He just said casually, why Ji Xiaoniao reacted so much like a cat whose tail was stepped on!
And from what Ji Thrush said, why does the child seem to have a clear ideal object? Could it be a female star or a little idol who has a crush on it
"This... It's good for the young man to pursue..."
Sun Ming could only nod his head, and replied:
"Anyway, you're still young, don't worry, just look around, and you'll definitely find someone you like!"
"Well, I thought so too."
Ji Thrush responded according to Sun Ming's words, forced the strange sour feeling in his heart back to the bottom of his heart, stopped thinking about his dream last night, and went to wash himself off.
