Chapter 686 Dream Guardian
Are there people who are so addicted to dreams that they don’t want to return to reality?
The answer is undoubtedly yes.
In the dream, I can eat whatever I want and buy whatever I want without having to face the extreme cold and hardship of the real world. Who doesn’t want to stay in this ‘new world’ in this dream?
That is to say, Purficott has amazing self-control, and the difficulties she faces have long made her indifferent to it, because she knows deeply that if reality cannot be saved, then the dream will be false no matter how beautiful it is. When you wake up everything will disappear.
Therefore, instead of building a false dream world, we should work hard to solve the problems of the real world so that it can one day return to the way it was before the apocalyptic disaster.
However, when the two of them were walking on the street, the old housekeeper noticed that some people were not muddleheaded, but maintained their work and life just like in the real world.
Although they cannot realize that they are dreaming, they must seem much more awake than others in their dreams.
When Purficott's dream was invaded, she was in this state from the beginning.
It was just that there were too many things in the dream that made her feel inconsistent, which made her gradually realize that she was dreaming.
The people in front of them are in the collective dream of the entire Beloberg people. There are very few violations here, and Purficott has no intention of controlling them. Therefore, it is almost impossible for these people to wake up completely and become conscious. I realized I was dreaming.
With Purficott's ability, it is certainly possible to keep everyone conscious, but this is really unnecessary, even more unnecessary than creating a dream world that is no different from before the disaster.
The greatest significance of the existence of the Dream Bell and the collective dream is to allow everyone to obtain dream protection and prevent their dreams from being invaded. There is no need to make too many bells and whistles.
And keep the people conscious, they are very likely to cause some trouble in their dreams.
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, these things should be saved as much as possible.
"Miss, how can this dream world protect everyone's dreams from being invaded? Can the collective dream be lower than the invasion of dream stealers?" The old housekeeper curiously asked Purficott.
Although he already understood the existence of collective dreams, he still didn't understand how collective dreams worked.
"The dream stealer affects your consciousness by weaving and modifying dreams, allowing you to tell your inner secrets, or implant certain thoughts in your heart." Hearing the old housekeeper ask, Purficott explained to him patiently: "Generally speaking, the mental intensity of dream stealers is much stronger than that of ordinary people. After all, as a transcendent, if the body is not strong enough, then the spirit must be stronger.
Therefore, they can forcibly change other people's dreams with their own spiritual power.
However, there are some problems with doing this. For example, if the modification is too outrageous or beyond the dreamer's understanding, it will make him feel that it is inconsistent, thus prompting the other party to realize that something is wrong and wake up.
Therefore, an experienced dream stealer usually will not significantly modify other people's dreams, but will weave them along with the other person's dreams.
In a sense, they should be called dreamers, but they use their abilities in the wrong place. Because the collective dream is a dream that belongs to everyone, what supports the entire dream is the sum of the spirits of all dreamers. No one can have stronger mental power than the combined energy of all the people in a city.
Therefore, they cannot make any effective modifications to the dream, which can protect most people. ”
"I see, but according to you, Miss, this collective dream seems to have flaws?" The old housekeeper heard the unfinished meaning of Purficott's words.
"Of course, the main function of collective dreams is to protect the majority of people. Dream Stealers cannot make large-scale modifications, but if it is only a small modification or impact on a certain person, it is not impossible, just like me It can change the clothes on you and me." Purficott explained to the old housekeeper, and also emphasized: "Of course, a spirit as strong as mine is just an exception, and ordinary dream stealers cannot do this. A little bit.”
"Then how can we protect individual people from such influence and completely eliminate the threat of dream stealers?" The old housekeeper asked Purficott with concern.
"This requires special protection for individual people, such as wearing props such as spiritual amulets to protect one's spirit from being invaded, or like you, Grandpa Afu, who can still stay awake in dreams." Purficott explained briefly.
She and the old butler were able to stay awake and move freely in the dream. Of course, it was not that they were gifted, but that Perfectcott had asked Foster to wear a special alchemy tool in advance, which could control the old butler's spirit. Protection, but also a continuous hint to him, so that he can realize that he is dreaming at the first time.
This is not Perficott's technology, but the trophies seized from Krillin and the captured dream stealers.
After all, dream stealers also have to guard against being dreamed by their peers, and they can weave dreams themselves, so it is normal for them to stay awake while dreaming, and then weave themselves a luxurious and enjoyable dream.
This special alchemy tool is used to do just that.
Purficott also conducted detailed research on it before giving it to the old housekeeper. The process of making it is not complicated, and it is not a problem to reproduce or mass-produce it.
Any alchemy workshop above the horizontal baseline in the North can produce something of this level, but the principle involves dreaming and the spirit, which were not the focus of the past research of Victoria's alchemists.
Of course, the cost of this kind of alchemy prop is a little expensive, and it is naturally unaffordable for ordinary people. Even if Purficott cuts off its function of awakening consciousness in dreams, it only retains its ability to enhance the spirit. The function of protecting the dream from being invaded is the same.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for this kind of alchemy tool to be used by everyone. At most, it is sold to nobles, businessmen and wealthy people in need.
Of course, government officials must be matched. After all, they hold very important information in their heads. If some confidential information is leaked, it will cause serious consequences.
And this is also the main reason why Purficott created the Dream Bell and built a collective dream.
