After reading some comments, I have some understanding.
Humans have two systems, the social system and the happiness system. When Dominic was young, he chose the materialistic self, that is, letting the social system dominate his happiness system. In his later years, he felt that he was a loser who neither pursued the true meaning of knowledge nor lost his most beloved woman. This is the premise and context of the story. And the whole story is a dream of Dominic when he was 70 years old. He dreamed that he was struck by lightning and unexpectedly rejuvenated, and he had superpowers such as learning in dreams, and he also met love again, etc. The most important thing is that in the dream, he The choices he made were different from those he made when he was young. When he was young, he gave up love for the pursuit of knowledge, but in a dream, he made the opposite decision, chose love, defeated the self, and obtained the ultimate comfort.
I remember that I often had some weird dreams when I was a child, especially when I took a nap in the afternoon on weekends. The dreams were very interesting and fantastic, but when I woke up, I sighed that I had to accept the reality to go to school and do my homework. At that time, the dream was already the best way to entertain yourself while studying, which made people feel that life was still colorful. Now think about it, in fact, life is like a dream, why care if it is a dream or reality? In a dream, you won't know that it's a dream. This is the basis of the dream and the reality. The past reality is like a dream. You can't touch it, you can't go back, it's just an experience, and the meaning of life is not the same. Is it just experience?
