In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 264: Where will the dream go (Part 1)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman
As we all know, many editors of American comics have the same idea. When they don't know how to express an abstract concept, they will concretize it into the image of a character, let them use human The form appears in the manga and gives it a human character.
On the contrary, if they don't know how to make an ordinary person motivated to participate in something, they will add divinity to his character, which is the so-called "savior consciousness".
"Human God" and "Divine Man" are two eternal themes in American comics, and "Sandman" Murphys happens to be one of the former.
If you want to talk about his origin, you have to start with the endless family.
The endless family is a character created after the illusory concept is endowed with a human form and added with human characteristics.
There are seven members in this family, representing dreams, death, destiny, despair, desire, madness, and destruction.
These concepts are invisible and intangible in real life, but they have a fixed image in comics, and even have their own responsibilities and personalities.
The Sandman, or Oneiroi, is the Murphys who is now appearing in front of Schiller.
It is also well known that any conceptual existence is generally very strong. Unlike superheroes who need a positive record to judge their strength, these conceptual characters are strong enough in their attributes alone.
Sandman Murphys masters all dreams. When the first creature in the universe fell into a dream, Murphys was born. He can create a dream of a thousand cats to make dreams replace reality, or make people's lives Be the same as in your dream.
Unlike Marvel, which always emphasizes the strength of conceptual existence or the difference in functional areas, DC Comics prefers to emphasize their unique personalities. For example, Morpheus the Sandman is actually one of the seven members of the Endless Family The most dedicated one besides fate.
It was mentioned in the comics that he is the most cautious in performing his duties. Although he has great power, he has never let this power cause trouble. At the same time, he has a relatively withdrawn personality and few friends. And I always like to fall into some philosophical thinking.
Because the domain he works in has little to do with the domains of other endless family members, he has always acted mysteriously. He has had countless externalized images, but he always only showed one or two of them. For the most part, he was a pale, thin man with dark blue hair and a cloak made of night.
The same is true for the person who appeared in front of Schiller. Of course, it is more likely that everyone sees the Sandman Murphys differently. Everyone who sees him thinks what he is, He is what he is, and Schiller still remembers the image of Murphys in the comics, so he has this appearance.
It was also mentioned in the original book that the first Sandman Murphys was moody, but obviously, now he has gone beyond the range of moodiness, and he seems a little frustrated.
He stared at Schiller with those twinkling eyes, and then said to him in a hoarse voice: "Why did you connect your dream to my dream kingdom, and then put a..."
His expression at this time is difficult to describe, which is actually very strange, because even if there is a human character in this concept, he will not really express his emotions so clearly like ordinary humans, not to mention that Murphys has always been He is relatively autistic, but now you can see disgust, disgust, confusion on his face after being woken up, and the anger that his home was messed up at the same time.
When it comes to the Kingdom of Dreams, it is not difficult to understand. Everyone in the Endless Family has their own domain. In this domain, they are almost omniscient and omnipotent. A name that sounds a little dreamy, but at this moment, whether the situation in the kingdom of dreams that has been splashed with **** can still conform to this dreamy style is hard to say.
"Before you ask me this question, I have a lot of questions to ask you." Schiller looked at Murphys and said, "I think you should be ready to answer my questions, right?"
"Don't tell me, you don't know anything about my situation."
"You let that lunatic leave my house first." Murphys emphasized again: "Do you know what he did in the kingdom of dreams???"
"I can imagine that I am deeply sorry and sympathetic."
Murphys looked at Schiller, and Schiller also looked at Murphys, neither of them would give in, but fortunately, they were in a dream now, and the most important thing in a dream was time.
Maybe the clown really did some outrageous things, or maybe Murphys himself was a little interested in Schiller, but in the end he gave in first, and he said, "What do you want to ask?"
"I must tell you first that many things I know cannot be described to you humans. The world in our eyes is different."
"Of course, of course, I know very well..." Schiller stretched out his hand and made a soothing gesture, and then let Murphys sit on the sofa opposite him.
The globe on the table behind him kept spinning, but this time, he didn't have a globe head on his head, but a normal human image just like in real life.
"Before I ask the question, I think you should also have some doubts, such as why I want to find you and how I found you."
Schiller appeared relaxed, as if facing not a powerful enemy but an old friend, he explained to Morpheus: "You can control all dreams, which means You can read all my memories, including the surface consciousness space and the deep consciousness space, so I don’t think I need to introduce too much about my origin.”
"Actually, as early as the first time I had some changes in my sleep, I had doubts, because I knew that this place was completely different from the world I used to live in, and all the concepts here were created by you, some The concept, or the control of the gods,"
"This sounds incredible, but it is actually convenient for me to reason, because if there is a problem in a certain field, the person responsible for it must be found."
"For example, one thing always happens when I'm asleep, so who else can I go to besides the Sandman?"
"Of course, I know that these fields you control are very critical to this universe, so you are too busy to explain some details to me, which is understandable, but it doesn't matter, since you don't come to me to talk , then I can go to your door and ring the doorbell..."
Morpheus's face was very ugly. Although he had always been pale, anyone could tell now that his expression was very unnatural. Control, or rather, a lunatic who can't even understand him in dreams, put into my home???"
Murphys's voice had some wonderful rhythms, a bit like a singer singing an aria, and he said: "You have no idea what a dangerous thing you have done, he almost made it in the dreamland A big hole came out, fortunately I woke up in time to stop him, once he succeeded, the creatures in the dreamland ran out..."
Murphys shook his head and said: "My work for ten thousand years will be in vain, and it is likely to take another tens of thousands of years to make up for this accident."
"This is just an attempt by me." Schiller did not shirk his responsibility, but continued: "You have to know, I am just an ordinary human being, I don't know how much the doorbell should ring to make your concepts Sexual existence wakes up..."
"So you just put on the loudest one??"
"That's right, when something happens frequently in my sleep, I know who I'm looking for, and the next step is how I can find you."
"I think, since you are the Oneiroi, you must control the dreams of everyone in this world, including mine. The only question is, how do you control the dreams of these people?"
"I am very clear that there is absolutely no shadow of you in my superficial consciousness space. I have a strong ability to control my superficial consciousness space, including building a thinking hall with more than 330 layers here, and evolved countless Personality, as a resident, has built many domains with special rules, and I have meticulous control over this place, and I am sure that no outsiders live here."
"So, I guess, you must be in a deeper consciousness space."
"However, in order to build a temple of thinking, I laid a very solid foundation for my superficial consciousness, which led to a very embarrassing situation. I couldn't pry open this foundation by myself~IndoMTL.com ~This is as difficult as asking a person to step on the sky with his left foot and his right foot in the real world.”
"So, when I discovered a wonderful drug that can affect human dreams, I had this idea. I asked a friend of mine to mix certain liquids together to create a A kind of wine that can connect human dreams..."
"Then I invited my friends into this consciousness space, and with the help of another psychologist, I dug through the foundation of the surface consciousness, allowing Jack to jump into my deep consciousness, and then dig all the way down... ..."
"Actually, before you appeared, I wasn't sure if digging to the bottom would be your dream kingdom, but now it seems that my guess is correct..."
"Reality and dreams are two sides of one body. If the highest point of my thinking hall is 'reality', then the bottom of my deep consciousness should be your dream kingdom."
"And the reason why I wake you up with a doorbell is because I hope you can answer me..."
Schiller looked at Murphys and said, "What happened to that thing that kept happening in my sleep?"
"Are you going to keep that annoying doorbell ringing if I don't answer?"
"Don't say that." Schiller waved his hand and said, "Just like you can't control him, I can't control him. Although I made a trivial deal with him, where does he want to play?" , and I can't control it."
"Then let me ask another question..." Morpheus's tone was always a little indifferent, or it was the kind of resistance to communication that is unique to autistic and withdrawn people.
"If I answered your question, you'd have a way to get him out, right?"
"Exactly."
