Chapter 551 Strange Patient
We discovered that he had some problems with dreaming.

How should I describe it... When he sleeps, he often dreams of another bizarre world, and then after waking up, there will be a period of time when he cannot distinguish between dreams and reality.

I want to emphasize that he is not suffering from hallucinations and unable to distinguish between reality and dreams. Instead, he is clearly aware of the difference between dreams and reality, but feels that what happened in the dream is real. He believes that dreams and reality exist in parallel and are two equally real worlds.

For example, if you can transform into Ultraman in your dream, then most people, after waking up, will definitely think that the dream is just a product of the combined effects of the brain's subconscious mind, and not an objective reality.

But that patient was different. He felt that the world in his dreams was indeed real. There really was such a place, and he could become Ultraman there.

And because in his logic, the influence of dreams and reality on each other is completely separate, his idea is unfalsifiable, just like the fire-breathing dragon in the basement garage.

Generally, this situation will last for a while after waking up, but after a few days, his sense of reality of the things that happened in the dream will decrease, and finally he will become like ordinary people, believing that dreams are illusory products of brain consciousness.

After he woke up, we asked him what he thought, and his answer was: "It's so real."

Netizens must be familiar with the brain in a vat theory. Just like if I tell you now that the reality you are in does not exist at all, you will certainly not admit it because you have absolute basis, which is the feeling that you think is extremely real.

His case gave me some thoughts. Perhaps what determines whether reality is real is not the objectively existing material, but one's own feelings. Just like we cannot recognize the dream itself in the dream, ultimately everything is based on feelings.

The same thing happened to that patient. Everything he encountered in his dream was exactly the same as what happened in reality after he woke up. This sense of reality took quite a long time to fade away.

Up to this point, the nurse has not mentioned anything about Su Yue. From the thousands of comments below, it can be seen that netizens are already impatient.

Then on the 38th floor, the host got straight to the point.

[Now I want to talk about this patient. This patient stayed in our hospital for a period of time, but one year ago, when there was a typhoon in the summer.

Local netizens should have the impression that the typhoon was bigger than in previous years. For some reasons, some patients in our hospital ran to the streets on a windy day, causing quite a commotion.

That was the day when the patient disappeared. Everyone was very busy at the time, and he, as one of the few normal patients who could communicate with the doctor normally, helped manage other patients that day (I know what you want to say, but that was the situation at the time and everyone was too busy).

Then, when we came to our senses, we couldn't find him anymore, and finally found a lot of blood in front of the grocery elevator, and then after the typhoon stopped, we found a severed hand and a severed foot in the control room near the parking lot.

By then, it was already the next day.

This incident was reported at the time, but two mentally ill patients who ran out of the hospital were hit and killed, and there were some other incidents, so this incident did not cause much of a sensation and was left unresolved anyway.

This is the end of the story of Patient X. What follows is about Su Yue.

When Su Yue came to our hospital, I had no contact with her, but she took the initiative to find me and asked me about Patient X. In addition to this, she also asked for the addresses of Patient X's family members.

Su Yue asked very detailed questions, and she knew about Patient X’s condition from the beginning. She was very concerned about Patient X’s description of his dreams and wanted to read the patient’s own diary (yes, that person would write a diary, and he clearly knew that he had symptoms of treating dreams as real, but after waking up after an attack, the sense of reality could even overwhelm these rationalities).

But the patient's diary had long been lost, as if it had been damaged by other patients. Only a little bit was left. I took a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments, so maybe I can still find the photo. Jiang Wengao quickly slid the mouse and scrolled down.

Below are a lot of comments from netizens.

[Anonymous user 465436: Hurry up! Waiting online! ]

[Feng Conglong: What this beautiful lady said should be true. I live in the area. Anyway, what she said matches the news at that time. Moreover, my brother lives in the community in Xinjiang City. He said that he once saw someone who looked like Su Yue wearing a mask and came to their community. I didn’t believe it at that time.]

[Taoist Yunshi: @White Angel, OP, the family of your patient X, don’t you think they live in the new residential area in Xinjiang? ]

[Anonymous user 35465: It must be made up. ]

【The second one: @Anonymous user 35465, brother, whoever dares to spread rumors at this time can just come up with conspiracy theories. The guy who said it so seriously last time has been invited to have tea. 】

After a long string of comments, the key photo finally came. The poster released the photo, which showed a crumpled piece of paper with only half of it left.

[This is the photo I took last time. After he woke up, he couldn't find his diary, so he asked me for a notebook and wrote down what happened in his dream. It took him several hours, but now only this photo is left.]

Jiang Wengao frowned, double-clicked the picture, enlarged it, and then saw the scribbled words on it.

[What you wrote down now is all true. You are now in another world supporting King Arthur to become King Arthur. When you return to the real world, Alice will help you continue to support Arthur, and you have to kill someone in reality.

If nothing unexpected happens, that person should look like this, and his name should be Van Cleef (if he hasn't changed his name). You have to kill him, and then Alice can let the Dreambird summon you back to that world.

you……】

The bottom part is missing.

Then there are the parts on the edges and corners.

[You must kill Van Cleef! Only in this way can you save them! Only you can do it, Alice, Arthur, Guinevere, they all count on you...]

These are the only words that can be seen clearly. Netizens’ comments all indicate that this patient X has a very poor imagination. Although he is very immature, the content of his dream seems to be quite conventional and unoriginal.

But soon, the topic was brought back on track by the host.

[Angel in White (original poster): When he woke up, he actually drew a portrait, but it was very ugly. He was not very good at drawing, so he was very irritable.

In addition, he was thinking seriously about how to find someone whose name and appearance matched the person he saw in his dream among so many people in the world, and then kill that person. 】
