Chapter One: Auditory Hallucinations

y didn't say it directly."That's great. Director Kang Shin-hyok and screenwriter Kim Eun-sook are indeed very optimistic about you. When coordinating time with the company and the crew, they were very...Bathed in sunlight, Chi Jingyuan awoke from his dream. The melody he had dreamt of still echoed in his mind, the sound circling and returning, leaving him unsure if he had truly awakened.

He frowned, supporting his temples with his right hand and gently shaking his head, trying to dispel the dizziness that lingered from his recent sleep. At that moment, the glaring sunlight outside pulled him back to reality. 。

"I dreamed of these melodies again"

"Chi Jingyuan got up and walked to the window, squinting at the outside world, lost in thought. " 。

I've lost count how many times it's happened. Ever since he was ten years old, he would have dreams about music in his sleep, sometimes just melodies, sometimes with lyrics, and occasionally even some strange film or video clips.

However, whether it's songs or video clips, they don't last long, at most a few dozen seconds, and then the dream returns to chaos. 。

People have a more vivid memory of their recent dreams when they are just waking up or about to wake up. However, as consciousness returns, the details of the dream gradually fade away, and eventually, only a general outline remains.

But the meaningless songs and fragments in Chi Jingyuan's dreams were different. They didn't fade with the memories of his dreams, but instead became clearer and clearer. He could still recall them even many days later. 。At first, Chi Jingyuan thought it was auditory hallucinations caused by learning stress and even went to the hospital for a detailed examination. 。The check-up results are unclear whether they're good or bad. Apart from some myopia, his physical condition is very good with no problems at all. He thinks the supposed nerve weakness doesn't exist. 。After that, Chi Jingyuan also went to see a psychiatrist, reportedly a rather well-known one. 。The psychologist said something cryptic with an air of complete control, then arranged a meditation therapy that made it impossible to sleep. Chi Jingyuan found the whole experience deeply impactful. 。After undergoing a course of professional psychological treatment, Chi Jingyuan's 'auditory hallucinations in dreams' did not improve at all. 。The experience was great, if he had another treatment, he would also accept it. 。

The primary treatment goal was not met, but there were other benefits. At least his sleep improved significantly during that time. Thanks to the famous doctor who sparked his intense interest in the profession of a psychologist and gave him the idea that "it seems like I could be good at this."

After much deliberation, Chi Jingyuan also gave up on medical treatment. After all, his "dream hallucinations" didn't happen frequently, and even when they did, they weren't anything major. 。Once you accept its existence, it's actually quite interesting. At least your dreams when you sleep become more colorful and multi-faceted. 。However, after a few years, Chi Jingyuan finally knew what those melodies and scenes he had heard in his dreams were. 。When he was bored watching a music show on TV, a song that came on caught his attention immediately. The chorus of the song was exactly the same melody he had once dreamt. 。Although the melody in his dream was only a short segment, he immediately recognized it as the song playing on the television in front of him. 。Then he immediately looked up information about the song. It was a song by a veteran singer who had just released it. It was said to be composed by professional music people and had just been created recently. 。But this melody, Jingyuan had already "heard" it a few years ago. 。This discovery surprised Chi Jingyuan so much that he didn't know what to say. After a fierce brainstorming session, he immediately began searching for all kinds of music and film data to verify his judgment. 。Through comparison, he found several songs with melodies similar to "auditory hallucinations," and also found some film and television clips that were similar to fragments that appeared in his dreams. 。Although not completely gathered, the findings so far are already sufficient to illustrate the problems he is facing. 。

Chi Jingyuan couldn't come to a conclusion, but he at least knew what was wrong with him.

Although his 'condition' sounds a bit scary, he has accepted its existence over the years. Even if it is strange, it's not a big deal after all. After all, only he knows about this, and when he went to the hospital for a check-up before, he used the excuse of 'feeling unwell'. Even his closest family members don't know about this.

He decided to keep this matter buried deep within himself. 。Then, Chi Jingyuan found through comparison that he had heard some songs and TV shows in his dreams. He discovered an interesting thing. 。

These melodies occasionally heard in dreams and the scenes glimpsed, as he judged, were indeed from some future songs and films and television series, but the two were different.

As for the songs, after the songs he "hallucinated" officially appeared, the quality and performance of the songs were a mixed bag. Some songs could become hits for a while, but there were also some that didn't even make a splash before disappearing. 。The contrast is very strong. You have to know that he only recently discovered a few songs about “day trips”. 。

While movies and TV shows are different. As long as he has dreamt about a fragment of it, once that movie or show appears in the world, it can achieve good results, and some even have the ability to lead trends and become a hot topic for a while.

Chi Jingyuan also didn't know what the reason was, he could only accept it. 。

This phenomenon of auditory hallucinations doesn't occur very often. Sometimes it happens only once every six months, and most of the time it involves dreaming about song melodies. Compared to this, TV or movie clips appearing in hallucinations are extremely rare. Perhaps the higher quality can be understood.

‘Hopefully this talent will help me out.’

Chi Jingyuan shook his head, trying to clear his mind. After washing up, he walked downstairs. 。

First published on Traditional Chinese Novel Network turned his head slightly and glanced at Ji Jingyuan, finding his gaze somewhat strange."Nothing, I just think the male guest isn't as handsome as you."Ji Jingyuan's eyes were fixed on the stage, but...
