Dreaming will become a reality, but it is only a faint feeling. I want to ask why this is, is it a scientific category?

"Genius is on the left _ Madman is on the right" has such a description. Maybe you can find inspiration from it.

Article 34 "About foreseeing the future"

Although he was wearing a corset, I was a little nervous actually sitting in front of him. Because the warned patient has a serious manic tendency, it is still the kind with irregular onset.

I looked at his corset: "It seems a little tight, doesn't it?"

He: "Nothing, I like it. I asked for it on my own initiative, fearing to scare others. "

I nodded blankly: "Oh ..."

He is very direct: "I can predict the future, but I can't judge what a clue is."

Suddenly I was shocked to hear this sentence, and I quickly looked down at his message: "What do you mean? Future? Without this part ... "

When I looked up, I noticed that he raised his lower lip slightly.

The patient is a former civil servant, about thirty years old. Observe carefully, and you will find that the lines on his face are clear and tough. However, there is fatigue and anxiety in his eyes-it looks like a state of long-term ideological struggle. In fact, it is said that he only woke up for more than an hour.

He once again stressed: "I can foresee the future."

Me: "fortune telling or astrology?"

He: "No, it was a direct prediction, but I didn't know what it was before it happened."

Me: "What?"

He licked his lower lip uneasily: "For example: 9. 1 1, the one in America, you know?"

Me: "Yes, what's wrong with that?"

He: "A few days before 9. 1 1, I don't know why I searched a lot of information about the twin towers of the World Trade Center. In fact, I didn't look at it seriously, but I searched a lot. "

Me: "Coincidence? If you do statistics, there may be thousands of people in the world who have done that-unconsciously. "

He: "that's just an example, an example you know, and there are many more."

Me: "Really? Tell me about it. "

He: "I inexplicably bought a cup in the supermarket, which looks like home." I don't even know why I bought it. A few days later, the old cup was broken. " Sometimes I choose the work of a particular artist, but I don't really like it. I just killed time and didn't think much. In a few days, the artist will die or have an accident. When I am sorting things out, I may leave useless things at hand, and I will definitely use them in a few days. When I suddenly think of a friend or something related to him, the person I miss will contact me soon, not more than 5 days; Or I unconsciously see a building, I imagine it is on fire, and in a few days, the building will be on fire ... This kind of thing happens too much. Moreover, this premonition originally extended from the dream. "

Me: "Er ... what will happen in a dream?"

He: "Yes, it will happen in a few minutes."

Me: "I don't understand."

He: "I dreamed that the phone rang in my dream, and then I would wake up at any time, and then the phone really rang." Convergence is so fast that the other party doesn't even believe that I was sleeping half a minute ago. "

Me: "Just for the phone?"

He: "No, anything that will sober me up." In fact, anything or anything that can wake me up can't wake me up, because I will wake up about half a minute early. "

Me: "No need for an alarm clock ... or indirectly?"

He: "Yes, including someone waking me up or someone knocking at the door."

Me: "Since when?"

He: "I can't remember, it was like this when I was young. Moreover, it was originally limited to dreams, but it continued to reality from a few years ago, although I can't predict what will happen. "

Me: "I see, that is to say, it is not meaningless until it really happens that you remember what you have done and imagined."

He: "That's it, it's not as specific as in the dream."

Me: "Did you tell the doctor? I don't think so, don't my data ... "

He: "I told the first doctor that I knew it through his expression." It's no use telling him this. "

Me: "Then why did you tell me?"

He: "You are not a doctor, you are not a psychologist, and you are not even from the hospital."

Me: "How do you know?"

He: "I don't know, but I made up my mind a few days ago." I will tell those who believe in it. I can see the future. " I even rehearsed what I was going to say in my mind. "

I feel a little uneasy.

He: "When you sit in front of me, I know that day is not my imagination, but also a kind of foresight."

Me: "How did you do it?"

I know it's silly to ask, but I still can't help asking.

He: "if only I knew, that kind of situation doesn't happen every day, sometimes it doesn't happen once a month, and sometimes several things in a week make me doubt."

Me: "Er … do you remember what happened when you were manic?"

He: "Part of it."

Me: "ask a ridiculous question: is it you?"

He: "It's me. I have no symptoms of division. "

Me: "So, does your foreseeing the future have anything to do with your mania?"

He was a little impatient: "Maybe? I'm not sure, maybe those are not my hallucinations, but real information. "

Me: "Really?"

He looked at me for a while and said, "Maybe it will happen suddenly. Suddenly, a lot of information flowed in front of me, but it was chaotic. Or I didn't see any rules ... those messages were mixed with words, words, symbols I didn't know, and sporadic pictures. I think it's understandable, but I can't capture it. Too fast! "

Me: "Are you trying to say that's why you are manic?"

He: "Maybe, I want to catch some of them, but I can't."

Me: "Wait a minute, let me interrupt. Do you know your performance after being manic? "

He: "Isn't it arresting people?"

Me: "Not only that, it seems to tear each other to pieces, but also ..."

He: "Then what?"

I hesitated for a few seconds: "Like a wild animal."

He paused: "so that's it ... my memory is to capture the information people say I saw ... it's so broken that I can't remember it."

Me: "Is the state of a lot of information you said consistent with the starting time of your realistic prediction of the future?"

He thought seriously, "I think so, right?" I can't remember the details. At first, I emphasized to myself that it was a coincidence, but after too many things happened, I couldn't convince myself that it was a coincidence. "

Me: "and you can't prove it to others."

He: "Well, I was really skeptical for a while. Can you imagine that state? I am very confused about what I have done, and sometimes I even think that everything is a foresight of the future, but I can't be sure. The more so, the less I know what to do. However, there are always some casual things that happen, let me confirm again: it is another kind of foresight. "

Me: "suppose that's really a coincidence?"

He: "I have ruled it out. Because it won't be a coincidence again and again. Things that are not so coincidental will happen many times. "

Me: "Let me see, did you unconsciously capture all kinds of information that flashed in front of your eyes, so you did that?" I mean your vision. "

He: "Maybe. But they said that after hypnosis, I said a lot of things that others didn't understand, saying it was chaos. "

I'm a little surprised that he thought of hypnosis.

Me: "Well, I listened to the recording. It's true. The doctor didn't lie to you. "

He: "Well, I think I figured it out."

Me: "What kind?"

He: "Maybe we can all encounter many things, but what happens is too small, and some of them belong to strangers, so there is no way to be sure."

Me: "You mean that everyone can foresee the future direction of something, but because what happens to him is not the future, there is no way to know that it is actually a foresight?"

He: "Yes."

Me: "But others don't have that dream, and there is no information flow in front of them."

He: "Maybe they have another way?"

Me: "well ... you see, it's like this: if you say this is an example, I might believe it." But if this is a common phenomenon, I think there is at least a lack of investigation basis. "

He: "You are absolutely right, but who would do such an investigation?" Who can know the connection of many things? Maybe every thought I have is actually something that will really happen in the next few days. But it didn't happen around me, it happened in the United States, it happened in Australia, it happened in Britain, so I can't know. What if it's small? It's impossible to record what happened to everyone, is it? Even if it is recorded, it is impossible to collect it all and find foresight from the vast ocean of ideas, right? If that kind of foresight is random, then in the next few days, more than a dozen people around the world will each foresee a part. What should I do? "

I tried to pull my thinking back to my own logic: "It can be assumed, but if it is not formally determined, it can only be assumed. Besides, you think too much about this question. Don't you think so? "

He: "I admit it, but this problem is not the source that bothers me." In other words: I don't go to a mental hospital because I can see the future. I'm manic. The reason why I am manic is information. Let's just say I don't care without this information. If you foresee it, it's none of my business. But when that information appeared, I intuitively knew that it was important. Although I can ignore them, they finally appeared. I just want to catch some, but it's impossible, but they always appear. If you were me, wouldn't you want to seize the future? Don't you care? Don't you have the idea of capturing? But in the end, when you find that you don't have time to see those, will you go crazy? "

I looked at him seriously, and at the same time I was thinking about this problem seriously.

He said: "Since ancient times, people have tried to predict the future by various methods, such as divination, astrology, palm reading, and even traces of coffee stains and tea stains on the bottom of the cup, but there is no clear method or reliable means. And I suddenly had such information in front of me, but it was too fast and too much, which was beyond my ability to collect. I can only be crazy. I admit that I am in a mental hospital, but I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't get that information status. Let a wise man take it and put it on me. This is not a waste, but a torture. "

What I see in his eyes is helplessness, anxiety and fatigue.

That afternoon, I listened to the recording to my friend, who is also the patient's attending doctor. When I watched him make a backup, I asked him what he thought and whether he believed it or not. His attitude makes me nervous. He said he believed him.

I asked him what I should think of this problem if he believed such a thing as a doctor. The friend thought about it and said that he should judge for himself.

I must admit, this answer made me suffer for a long time.

The future is an uncertain number. If we add nonlinear dynamics, it will involve more, but the result is the same: there is still no clue. I even thought to myself, if it were me, could I capture the information flowing in front of me? To tell the truth, I am not timid, but if I had a choice, at most I would choose to wake up half a minute before the phone rings. I can't take it anymore.

At this time, I suddenly felt that maybe being a prophet might really be just a torture punishment, as he said.
