The visitor's brow slightly furrowed.

"I'm inside a hospital... um, a hospital."

The visitor purposely emphasized the environment. Considering the visitor's profession as a nurse, this dream scenario seemed quite reasonable.

But Nan Zhubin asked another question: "Is it the hospital where you usually work?"

He noticed the visitor paused: "No... it's not the hospital where I work."

Nan Zhubin then asked: "Do you know this hospital, or have you seen this hospital before?"

The visitor hesitated a moment before replying: "Haven't seen it... but I know it's a hospital."

This answer was quite interesting.

Nan Zhubin probed: "Can you look around and try to describe what this 'hospital' looks like?"

The visitor remained silent for a moment, as if attempting to follow Nan Zhubin's instructions.

After a breath, she slowly said: "I don't know how to move my eyes or head... no, or rather, I can't move. I can only see this part in front of me..."

Understood. After all, in the visitor's current experience, she is "watching a movie" rather than playing a first-person game, so she can't "look around."

Of course, some people's dreams also feature this sense of weak control. In such cases, the dreamer can only passively receive information from the dream and cannot control the actions of the "I" in the dream.

It's uncertain which situation the current visitor is experiencing.

Or it might be a mixed state of both. After all, psychoanalysis involving the subconscious is inherently complex.

Nan Zhubin continued: "Then can you describe the emotions you feel inside this 'hospital'?"

Upon hearing this question, the visitor was silent for a moment before saying: "...I don't know how to say."

This is normal. Though visitors in a state of hypnosis tend to follow instructions easily, it doesn't mean they become a machine that answers every question. Their expression is still limited by their knowledge level.

Visitors who are weak in perceiving their own emotions or who lack verbal skill often can't accurately express their current experience of anxiety, anger, sadness.

Nan Zhubin thought for a moment, providing a more general description: "Do you have a rough feeling? Is it a good emotion or a bad emotion?"

"...It's, probably bad. Fairly flat, but leaning towards bad emotions."

Okay, basic information collection complete.

Continue on.

Nan Zhubin said: "Alright, let's continue playing this 'movie,' tell me everything you see, can you?"

In this phase, Nan Zhubin intended to temporarily reduce his own presence, letting the visitor narrate her dream completely.

The content the visitor chooses to narrate during this process is key, as well as the visitor's expression and manner of expression.

Once her narration concludes, if possible, Nan Zhubin will replay the "movie" to enrich the consultation's needed details.

...

Nan Zhubin reopened the folder, taking out a pen and consultation record sheet to note the details related to the dream thereafter.

He noticed the visitor's breathing became increasingly steady.

"The place I'm at is very much like... a hospital's emergency room."

"There's a long corridor here, and on both sides of the corridor are many wards."

"However, the lighting here is very dim, it should be nighttime..."

The visitor slowly furrowed her brows: "And, my task tonight is to make rounds. I can somewhat hear the low sounds of crying and moaning coming from the wards..."

Uh... this description still seems rather in line with reality.

But in a certain sense, it also feels like the opening of a horror movie.

"My task tonight is... to make rounds, I have to check the ward of a little girl."

"But, I can't find her medical record, this won't do, so I must find it. I start wandering down this corridor hoping to find the girl's medical record somewhere."

Such a description feels more like a horror exploration game.

"Then, as I walked, I reached the edge of the restroom." Saying this, the visitor lifted her chin slightly, giving her throat room to forcefully swallow.

"The pipes inside seem to be broken, leaking a lot of, uh, dark-colored, flowing water... This water covers the corridor, I can't go around it."

"The scope of the water is large too, I also can't jump over it."

"With this water, I can't go further."

The visitor's hand slowly exerted force, her left hand began to rub the fabric of the sofa, while her right hand reached towards the place of her previous knife wound.

"I... observed in place for quite a while because I wanted to cross this pool of water, I must go past it since I seem to know that the medical record I'm looking for... and the girl's ward are on the other side of the corridor."

"But, I can't find a way."

"Then the sounds coming from the wards on both sides of the corridor also grew louder... I feel like I heard the little girl's crying."

The visitor suddenly sniffed.

"I'm getting anxious, wanting to turn back to find help. But... As soon as I turned around, that water... surrounded me."

"While I was thinking in place... the water spread out and surrounded me..."

The visitor's voice became murky, and her speech increasingly disjointed.

"But at that moment, my leg started to move... I can't control my body, just one foot stepped into the water, and then—"

"—I fell in."

Person stepped into a pool of water on the corridor floor then fell directly in?
