I have been always keen about analyzing my dreams. I have a lot of dreams, and sometimes I wrote them down. But I have never experienced something close to the movie Inception, UNTIL NOW. So last night I had this dream at 2am. First, I was driving in a parking structure with Mia. Then, there was some kind of space-time transportation and the next thing I know, I was still in the same parking garage but I don't see my car. I have my car keys in my hand, and I tried pressing the remote control but I don't hear anything. But somehow there was a GPS-like device so that I know my car is nearby, maybe on some other levels of the garage. Next scene, I was alone, I found the car! And I was driving it not in the garage but I was driving toward the exit of some residential community. I realized I didn't mean to exit, so I turn back. I was probably anxious looking for Mia, but suddenly my mind played a trick: I suddenly saw that I didn't put my car key in, and yet I was driving. I was so anxious, so realizing this fact, I quickly thought this might be a dream, and I decided I should scream so I'd wake up. And I screamed the crap out of my voice, and I did wake up! Mia was awake by my side and told me I had produced a tiny "ah~" voice like a little lamb!
This is the first time my mind had noticed a loophole in my dream and realized this might be a dream! This is exciting. You see, even though I did think this might be a dream and decided to scream, in the dream, I was pretty sure it was real - when I started screaming I didn't think it was going to work, because I was pretty sure I wasn't in a dream. It's pretty scary. This could be a step toward what they call lucid dreaming - realizing you are dreaming while you're still in there, and try twist the plot as you wish and have fun. It is said it could be used as a self-healing device, but I have never been able to do it.

我从15岁起就读/听恐怖小说。读了很多周德东,第一部是《红都剧院24排4号》, 今天,在十几年以后,又听了。最喜欢的是《我遇见了我》,不是最有名的作品,也很虚无缥缈,确十分有境界。
最近蔡骏有很多作品收到关注。听过的有《猫眼》,《夜半笛声》,还有《荒村》。不明白为什么《荒村》收到那么多关注,还拍成了电影。感觉蔡骏主要有几个弱点。第一,他的东西比较derivative,缺少更多原创的点子。比如《荒村》,我感觉就是几个其他小说元素的汇合,包括《夜半》和《猫眼》。这些元素非常典型,包括民国时代的老房子,有魔力的笛子,还有那个重阳节的鬼故事。我并不反对不同作品中出现intertext, 但是后来发现他是的确缺乏原创的点子。 第二, 他也喜欢抄一些其他小说的成功元素,比如盗墓元素,地下迷宫,古墓,军火库,这些都出现在很多小说中-而恰恰是像盗墓笔记这样的成功小说的关键元素。第三,他的套路也比较少,除了前面说的元素之外,还有情节结构,比如很多的恐怖体验都是幻觉,由某种宝石/玉石/声音等控制。第四,就情节来说,《夜半》还说的过去,但是《荒村》实在没有整体感。我对良渚文化挺好奇,但是这个情节实在和故事的整体结构没有任何关系, 最后落脚在玉矿上实在是败笔,和前面对荒村的恐怖渲染完全没有关系。试想,那么恐怖的一个地方,有那么恐怖的故事,最后的巨大的’秘密‘就是那个地方地下有很大的玉矿,这完全和前面渲染的没有半毛钱关系。就好像我给你渲染了半天我要讲一个多么恐怖,多么吸引人的故事,可最后我告诉你那都是梦,不是真的,让人彻头彻尾的失望。不过,比起电影来,这个小说还是强得多。《荒村》电影是我看过的史上最烂的电影。 |
