67: Chapter 67: Plum Blossom Poems and Pancake Songs – They both depict the future, not its experiences.

Inside the living room.

It took a long time for Xiao Yu to recover from her shock.

"Brother, if that's the case..."

"When Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were deducing the future—"

"They were like ghosts, floating beside people in 2025 or even the future, observing everything?"

"Maybe not even floating, but absorbing from the zero-point field, watching the future images flash before their eyes?"

"That's fake, right? It's impossible, isn't it?"

She asked, following her previous line of thought.

"Hmm. Putting it that way isn't wrong."

Jiang Zhe smiled slightly and continued to ask.

"Xiao Yu, answer me, when you dream, what perspective is it?"

"Third... no, first-person."

Xiao Yu thought back and forth, feeling like something was missing.

"Switching back and forth between first and third-person."

Before Jiang Zhe could answer, inside the teahouse, Zhou Ming spoke up:

"Dreams are divided into reality-based dreams and illusory dreams."

"Generally, first-person is an adaptation of real events the dreamer has personally experienced."

"Generally, third-person is the dreamer's pure illusion and observation perspective."

Zheng Ming couldn't help but ask: "Is there a theory behind this?"

"There's no specific theory, but first-person is more common; for example, encountering a blizzard or a swamp, moving forward with difficulty; most of those are first-person."

"Like the apocalypse or even fantasy scenes seen in dreams—most of those are third-person observation perspectives."

"According to Xiaoyu's brother, there's a probability of absorbing information fragments from other parallel worlds or even future worlds within the zero-point field."

After he finished, Zheng Ming and Xu Mu fell into deep thought, offering no rebuttal.

Seeing Xiao Yu's look of difficulty in understanding.

Jiang Zhe spoke directly:

"Dreams related to yourself are in the first person."

"Science identifies dreams as subconscious activities, or even a patchwork of truth and falsehood."

"But whether it's a lucid dream, a nightmare, or a beautiful dream, the core perspective is locked in the [first person]."

"That's because those things are what you experience or even what you want."

"When you don't want to experience it, you will—in the dream—actively switch from the first-person perspective to the third-person. Even if the [protagonist in the dream] encounters an accident, you remain indifferent because you've switched to the third-person perspective—naturally, you won't be harmed or die."

As Jiang Zhe's analysis concluded, Xiao Yu gasped, "It really seems to be like that!"

"Yes."

Jiang Zhe's expression suddenly turned serious, "Then when is it entirely in the third person?"

Xiao Yu frowned: "Could it be... things that haven't happened?"

As she spoke, the viewers' eyes suddenly lit up as they understood something.

For things that have happened, one can switch back and forth between first-person and third-person perspectives.

One: Being the experiencer.

Two: Being the onlooker.

For example, having a delicious meal cooked by your grandmother when you were a child.

As time passed, your grandmother passed away.

But that taste remained deeply etched in your mind.

When the person grows up and gets tired, or encounters injustice...

When they dream about their grandmother again, it's mostly in the [first person]—[re-experiencing it].

"Correct, very smart!"

Jiang Zhe smiled and snapped his fingers.

"For you, things that haven't happened must be in the [third person]."

"If in a dream, no matter how realistic the dream is, if it's in the [first person], then I'm sorry!"

"No matter how realistic or mysterious it is, it is not a [prophetic dream/future dream]."

"Because the first-person perspective is already fixed—you are not having a prophetic dream."

"Just like Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang, and other great predecessors—no matter how strong they were, it's impossible for them to project their consciousness from ancient times and possess us in 2025."

"That's impossible to achieve."

"So, what is the answer?"

Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes widened as she instantly understood.

"Because future events haven't happened to us yet—and in the future world, our physical bodies don't exist; we can only observe the future from an onlooker's perspective; we cannot experience the future in the [first person]."

"Because we simply don't exist in the future!"

"Brilliant!"

As the specific analysis concluded, all the viewers felt a string in their minds snap, yet they felt clearer than ever!

"Wow!!!"

"I'm learning for the first time that no matter how realistic a dream is, as long as it's in the first person, it's definitely not something from the future."

"So profound, it feels like listening to the natural laws of the Dao."

"..."

Principal Fu, Professor Wang, and Xiao Wang looked at each other.

They all saw the curiosity on each other's faces.

Jiang Zhe answered with satisfaction:

"The correct explanation is: the future is non-directional for us, yet it is fixed."

"Therefore, you can only observe the future from a third-person perspective; you cannot experience the future in the first person."

"Just like prophets all over the world—"

"No one, not a single person, has said [they experienced the future], but rather [they saw the future]."

There are many such cases in this world as well.

Whether it's the most famous one, Baba Vanga, or others.

They all [saw the future], rather than [experienced the future].

Inside the teahouse.

Xu Mu said approvingly: "From this observation, this Xiaoyu's brother has a very high level; and what he says is correct."

Zhou Ming also agreed thoughtfully:

"My patients have also told me some things about this."

"For instance, seeing images of the future, whether it's a street or the apocalypse; it's all like movie images flashing three-dimensionally in front of them, letting them read, scan, and look down upon it."

"Rather than entering this [three-dimensional holographic future image] from a first-person perspective."

Inside the Kyoto University faculty residential area.

Professor Chen, Professor Qian, and Professor Wang looked at each other, their expressions exceptionally solemn.

"Old Chen, Old Qian!"

Professor Wang Shouren spoke with a serious face.

"Xiaoyu's brother's theory of [fixed script, free actors] reminds me of some..."

"Coincidences in history books."

Old Chen took a deep breath and responded:

"Yes, for example—"

"In his Plum Blossom Poem, Shao Yong didn't experience it personally, but rather like watching a scroll..."

"He [saw] the Northern Song's migration to the south where 'the mountains and rivers are fine but incomplete,' and the confrontation between North and South where 'clouds and mist are vast, each in its own sky.'"

"Isn't this exactly the [third-person] perspective, catching a glimpse of the [images] of the future?"

The Plum Blossom Poem is a famous prophetic poem from the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Not just Shao Yong."

Old Qian added immediately:

"An even more typical example is Liu Bowen's Pancake Song."

"The Pancake Song entire piece is composed of dialogues and prophetic omens."

"He wasn't describing the late Ming Dynasty that he traveled to, but rather looking down from a high place, saying to Zhu Chongba—"

"[What is happening on the map of the future]."

"Like 'ten thousand children and ten thousand grandchildren layered upon layers': the biological descendants of the Wanli Emperor—'ancestors on the mountain, shell and clothes walking': Emperor Chongzhen hanging himself on Coal Hill."

"And the Great Qing that Liu Bowen saw: 'Rainwater on grass, the true lord emerges; half the people on the road are monks': referring to the appearance of the common people after the Manchus entered the Central Plains."

"All of these were [seen] by Liu Bowen, not [experienced]."

Professor Chen Runzhi's eyes lit up.

Essentially, what they describe is one word: [See].

"[I observe it], [I see it], never has [I personally did it] appeared."

Fundamentally, they are all browsing the [future] whose ending has already been written.

Being a retired history professor, he understood history even better than the Sinologist Wang Chongyang!

Only then did they realize how shocking what Jiang Zhe revealed truly was!

Just then.

Xiao Yu's voice came from the screen.

"Brother, then what about past lives?"

"Are past lives in the first person or the third person?"
