做夢使我們每一個人在一生中的每一個夜晚，都可以安靜的、安全的發瘋 “Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives” — William Dement
睡眠與夢境 Sleeping and dreaming
焦傳金教授
Professor Chiao
我是一個愛作夢的人，晚上容易作夢，而也會記得夢了什麼。也因此我特別關注跟夢境有關的書，在這邊想要分享兩本小說中提到與「夢境」有關的書。
第一本是眾所周知的哈利波特，在第五本「鳳凰會的密令」中，佛地魔入侵哈利波特的夢境，試圖影響他的判斷，而石內卜努力教他控制大腦，排除佛地魔的思想；再來則是「修煉五部曲」中出現在第三部以及前傳的「夢蝶」，書中說明其為神異界負責透過人類夢境去得知物人界的消息的生物，書中也有一說是:如果作夢時特別注意一下，就可以發現夢蝶在旁邊，更有可能的是控制自己的夢境發展，避免傳遞不想傳遞的訊息給夢蝶。
上面兩本述說的控制夢境其實都很像教授說的「清明夢」，雖然是處於做夢中但是卻可以非常清楚的控制夢境，而也有實驗證實清明夢是可以訓練的，也因此知道石內卜給哈利波特的訓練是可以練習起來的，只要波特不要帶有成見的面對這堂課程；在修煉中的在夢境中控制自己的思想，破壞夢蝶營造的夢境，也是有可能在現實生活中成功的!
Speaking of dreaming, I want to share two books that there were some chapters were related to this theme of the class this week, as I am a person who loves dreaming and often can remember what I have dreamed at night.
The first novel is the fifth series of Harry Potter, called ‘’ Order of the Phoenix’’. As for Harry was disturbed by the Voldemort who wanted to affected his judgments by controlling his dream. While professor Snape tried to teach him the way to control his brain to keep Voldemort’s disruption.
And the second novel is the third and prequel series of the Practice novels. In the story, there were a herd of animals live in the magic world that they rely on the dreaming butterflies to get the news from human world by observing people’s dream. It is said that we can pay attention when dreaming, so that we might find a butterfly in our dream. Moreover, we perhaps can control our dream in order no to release some messages to the butterflies.
Above those ways said to control the dream are like the ‘’ lucid dream’’ that the professor said. Whereas there was also an experiment proved that the lucid dream is capability to be control by human. Accordingly, we can have a conclusion that the way Snape taught Harry and the means to keep butterfly observe our secret through the dream is possible in the reality.
