If there is no dream in life, what is the difference between it and salted fish?
But if a person dreams all day, I am afraid it is not as good as a salted fish!
The American drama "Virtual Dreams" (the first episode) tells the story of people having difficulty choosing between reality and dreams.
It is another popular high-tech era, and human civilization is highly advanced. One of the American companies named "Ollila Technology" has invented an immersive panoramic virtual perception system, which allows users to enter a room composed of the cerebral cortex in their sleep. In the subconscious space generated after stimulation.
In human words, you can make up everything in your head, and then feel free to lust.
Is it a little "Matrix + Inception" feeling? That's right!
Like all stream-of-consciousness technologies, this so-called "implicit powerhouse" black technology quickly ran into big trouble in its promotion.
Because there is no anti-addiction system, some users will never go offline once they log in.
For example, a male user repeatedly invited the beautiful woman in red to a candlelight dinner in his dream. The five-star hotel, the top-floor box, the open-air platform, the band accompaniment, and the hot air balloon with the special effect of fifty cents in the distance, it is a bit fake, but people like to live in this kind of cutout background.
In the real world, the doctor looked at the patient who had been in a coma for two weeks, and said to his family: If this guy doesn't get up, he can just pull it out and cremate it.
It is not only the family members of the patients who are anxious, but also the company "Ollila" that provides services. It is not a big problem to be addicted to playing games, but daydreaming is a big headache. The legal person of the company is sentenced to prison. The key is that the user falls asleep. It's all hiccups, who's going to pay the bills!
As a result, the company found the heroine Mara, expecting her to solve this "sleepless" crisis.
Why can the heroine be the savior?
Because the heroine is an expert in interpersonal communication. From the heroine's point of view, human beings need to learn to empathize through real observation, but now everyone has become a low-headed person. Teenagers seem to be holding mobile phones all the time to communicate, but in fact they have a certain degree of social interaction. obstacle.
After listening to the heroine's eloquent talk, the company, which was not aware of it, decided to hire the heroine to become a hostage negotiation expert for "Virtual Dreams", and persuade the users who had kidnapped them to come back one by one.
The first task is to persuade the buddy who reserved the room in the five-star hotel.
As soon as the heroine entered the subconscious of others, it was like a virus invading outside the body, which was discovered by the owner of the dream.
The two of them chased each other and escaped, walked through the weird Chinatown, turned around and returned to the top floor of the five-star hotel.
The man who didn't want to wake up shouted, "Can you still make people dream well!", while pushing the heroine down from the high-rise building, he also kicked the heroine out of his dream.
However, from the failed negotiation, the heroine found the key point for a man to indulge in dreams: a butterfly!
This butterfly is not a fairy tale of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, but a drug that men use to anesthetize themselves.
It turns out that the man's dream lover is his wife in the real world. In order to make the life of the family of three better, the man has to work hard for a long time and has to rely on drug stimulation to stay awake.
But the man who took the medicine was waiting for the end of the car accident. Unwilling to face the man who killed his wife, he chooses to sink in the dream provided by the "Ollila" company, and relive the good times when he proposed to his wife again and again.
"Virtual Dream" adopts the typical routine of "one episode, one short story, and the whole season is connected with a big conspiracy". While resolving the plight of others, the heroine Mara must always beware of the phantom in her own brain. In addition, the company is likely to hide behind the scenes. a deeper conspiracy.
If you are attracted by this setting, congratulations, then there is another drama fan in the hole dug by "Virtual Dream".
The reason why "Virtual Dreams" attracts attention is that the core "escaping shameful but useful" argument in the play has a large number of fans in the current society.
Too many people, like the users who don’t want to wake up in the play, hold their mobile phones for more than ten hours a day, and spend their time on social tools, chicken-eating games, or online celebrity live broadcast rooms.
Because only in this way, people who are frustrated and run into walls in real life can get feelings that they cannot understand, such as the sense of presence brought by swiping the screen and liking, the vanity brought by winning games, and the satisfaction brought by giving gifts and calling feel.
In my opinion, "Virtual Dreams" is not a fictional sci-fi series, but a horror warning that nightmares may come true in the near future.
The difference is that in the TV series, there is also a good-natured heroine, who can persuade the lost lambs to turn back.
In the real world, who can make you emotionally willing to put down your phone?
