Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 677: The ability to change from passive to active
This is a real benefit and a foreseeable benefit.

If the difference in the combat effectiveness of warships in different scientific fields of civilizations at the same level is the external manifestation of the power of civilization, the military performance, and the external practice, then this kind of improvement is the internal strengthening, which is the internal practice.

When two civilizations of the same level go to war, the civilization with stronger external power may certainly flourish for a while. However, if it is unable to directly defeat the opposing civilization with weaker external power but stronger internal power in one wave, then the strength of internal power will gradually become apparent. The civilization with only strong external power will find that as the war goes on, the opponent will become stronger and stronger, and may even counterattack.

It can be seen how important it is for a civilization to cultivate both inside and outside.

Human civilization has always relied on the combat effectiveness brought by the power of alloys No. 1 and 2 and mechanical proficiency, and is considered very powerful among civilizations of the same level. The Kuntai civilization and the Chiyan civilization were defeated by humans in this way.

And now, human beings have been strengthened in terms of internal strength, and the entire civilization will surely appear stronger and more solid, and will generally appear more powerful than civilizations of the same level.

Of course, other alien races also have longer awake time and shorter sleeping time. After all, it is impossible for all alien races to live 24 hours a day like humans. The work and rest schedule of each race is basically influenced by its home planet and evolved from billions of years of solar and lunar cycles of its home planet.

Therefore, it is normal for other races to have a day several times longer than humans, but similarly, their rest time will also be longer. Although this conclusion has not yet reached the point where it is universally applicable, humans have at least seen the shadow of this law in the lives of the Kuntai, Nair, Gnolls, and Red Flame civilizations.

They all have one thing in common, they are carbon-based life forms, and their resting and sleeping time is proportional to their wakefulness time.

As expected, the awakener appears in a civilized manner, so the target is also human civilization, not any individual human being.

However, what humans don't know is that this is just a benefit of the national dreaming event, just a product of the process. Moreover, the original intention of promoting the growth of human energy is not to enhance the internal strength of human civilization as humans think, but just a side effect.

Of course, humans have not discovered this problem yet, and the entire human race is still immersed in the joy brought by the benefits of these scraps until a few years later.

On this day, as perhaps the first person to discover that he was dreaming continuously, Yue Yuan found that he did not dream when he slept. This would have been a very normal thing a few years ago, but after dreaming every night for many years, it seemed abnormal to suddenly not dream.

Such a contrast immediately attracted Yue Yuan's attention. As soon as he woke up, he realized that this might be a new development in the dream event.

However, it was just one night without dreaming, so Yue Yuan did not rush to find scientists from relevant departments to discuss it. He just asked the "Light of the Sky River" to record it and wait for the next few nights. If he continued to dream, it would mean that it was just an occasional thing. If he did not dream at all, it would mean that there was a real change.

A month passed quickly, and Yue Yuan realized that changes had indeed occurred. In every subsequent sleep, he did not have any related dreams.

"Is this the end? Or is a new stage of dreaming about to begin?"

With doubts, Yue Yuan opened the network through his brain chip. After the virtual UI interface appeared, he summarized his recent experiences of related dream events into a series of lessons, and uploaded them to the human data center for others to refer to.

Yes, he did not go to find any experts. Because it has been proven many times before that in the face of this kind of phenomenon created by the sixth-level civilization, human exploration has no practical progress at all. This was the case when they explored the boundaries of this space, and it is also the case when they explore the roots of dreams now.

Humans found no trace of the awakener, nor any mechanical equipment in the void. Without discovering anything, they naturally had no way of knowing the source of the power of dreams. "It should be over! The reason why the awakener has not appeared, or the truth of the matter has not appeared in front of humans, is probably that some humans have not yet ended their dreams." After more than ten days, Yue Yuan had this thought again.

Yue Yuan felt that if mental strength existed, his mental strength had been strengthened more than ten times over the past few years. He could even stay awake for more than a month at a time, and he only needed one day of rest to replenish his mental state.

This is a gradual process.

In recent years, in addition to the feeling of being full of energy, the benefit that dream events have brought him is another ability, which is about sleep.

Yue Yuan found that he could hypnotize himself without knowing when. The method was very simple, that is, to use the subconscious suggestion in the dream to tell himself that he wanted to rest and sleep. Under this suggestion, he could quickly fall asleep after lying down.

Most people fall asleep unconsciously when they are passively sleepy from being awake. Their self-consciousness is in a passive state in this process. But Yue Yuan is not like that now. He can actively enter a state of sleep and rest.

In other words, sleep whenever you want.

Not only that, not long after discovering that he could control the time he fell asleep, Yue Yuan was surprised to discover another new ability, which was that he could use the "subconscious suggestion in his dreams" to wake himself up at a relatively accurate time before going to bed.

That is, you can actively control your sleep time without the help of an alarm clock.

On a spaceship with an alarm clock and advanced technology, this ability seems useless, but Yue Yuan, who has a good scientific literacy, knows that it is not useless. Because it involves human control over their subconscious and conscious minds, and the ability to actively and accurately control their biological clocks.

All these things are what need to be studied in the field of spirit and consciousness research, and are also one of the areas where humans explore their own biological secrets.

Of course, this ability is not effective at all times. It is ineffective when you have enough sleep and are full of energy.

Yue Yuan had read other people’s sharing of their dreams on the Internet, and he knew that he was not the only one who had this ability. Others also had it when they reached a certain stage, and he was just faster.

Yue Yuan thought that the dream was over, but he didn't expect that the surprises brought by the dream were not over yet, because he subconsciously hinted his sleeping time and waking time before going to bed one of the following times, and suddenly he thought, could he also hint at dreaming? So he really hinted at himself, and he really had a dream when he fell asleep.

After that, Yue Yuan used this method to make himself dream and it always worked. If he didn't give any hints, he wouldn't dream. Of course, dreaming in this way didn't give him the feeling of continuous growth of his mental strength.

In other words, Yue Yuan turned passive abilities such as sleep, sleep duration, dreaming, and dream control into active ones.

"Could this be the result of the universal dream time, making humans more energetic and turning many passive abilities related to dreams and sleeping into active abilities?" Yue Yuan thought.
