Synopsis

“Several assaults and murders have recently taken place in our city. We urge all residents to avoid going out alone. If you must go out, please be careful.”

Hong Yue looked at the 2D cat on the bed, dancing upright on its two feet, one paw covering its nose and the other waving around.

“This... I think I'd better go to the hospital!”

Hong Yue took her last 400 yuan and went out.

That night

“A Level Two Nightmare Incident has occurred at the city's psychiatric hospital.”

1. Memory is the reappearance in the brain of experiences from the past.

2. Memory is a mental activity built upon perception and thought. It involves three basic processes: encoding, retention, and retrieval.

3. Dreams are like fiction. Built upon forgotten memories, imagined events that we have never experienced firsthand fill in the gaps.

4. In a dream, we feel that all those eerie things are real, that they truly exist. It's just like patients with mental illness who have lost insight and believe their hallucinations and delusions are objective reality.

Therefore, “If we're in a dream, can we say that we're all mentally ill?”

“Or are people with mental illness in the real world simply having a lucid dream?”

Books That Leave You Mentally Unwell After Reading

Are there books that leave you feeling mentally wrecked after you finish them, like making you depressed? It's not that there's something wrong with my brain. I just haven't found a book that really gets to me emotionally. Even tragic stories don't make me cry.
