Chapter 94: Empty Dream Land
Qin Zhiyu waited quietly, making sure that there was really no sound around her, and temporarily gave up the idea that someone might see her, save her or hurt her.
The soul seems light and airy, but it cannot float around like in the movies and become a ghost.
Qin Zhiyu felt that if the state of separation of soul and spirit continued for too long, she might become a vegetable.
She tried to take back control of her body.
Start by moving your fingers.
The usual action of curling fingers becomes extremely difficult at this time. How can we get our body moving?
A vague sense of familiarity flashed through Qin Zhiyu's mind.
Qin Zhiyu tried hard to move his fingers and toes and tried hard to open his eyes, but none of the items went as he wished.
I can’t move, and I can’t get up even if I want to... It’s like, it’s like sleep paralysis!
Suddenly, Qin Zhiyu understood why this situation seemed familiar.
To put it simply, sleep paralysis is a condition in which a person is conscious but unable to move his body while sleeping.
In reality, this phenomenon occurs because during sleep, a person's subjective consciousness has awakened, but the brain tissue that controls the body is still in a dormant state. At this time, the muscle strength of the limbs is also in a state of low tension and is not controlled by consciousness. There is a phenomenon of separation between sensation and action, so temporary paralysis symptoms appear. Generally, the symptoms will gradually disappear after a few minutes.
While this is a normal physiological phenomenon, and most people may have experienced it, and it has no adverse effects on their health, it is unusual for it to occur after a war. Could it be that after falling into the abyss, she broke her spine? This is not sleep paralysis at all, but paralysis?
Qin Zhiyu couldn't help but recall that there were always people in prison who had done too many bad things or were not liked by others, which led to poor sleep quality and prisoners often suffered from sleep paralysis at night.
Some people even tried to ask her to hire a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, but of course she firmly rejected such a superstitious request.
She once gave a popular science lecture. To avoid this phenomenon, one must pay attention to a regular schedule, not stay up late, exercise properly, and maintain a calm mind. The prisoners would just think she was farting. How many people can keep their minds calm after entering prison?
If this phenomenon occurs repeatedly and for a long time, and the six senses cannot be calmed, she knows that oral tranquilizing and brain-tonifying liquids, Bailemian capsules, etc. can relieve the symptoms.
So who can express some medicine to her? Qin Zhiyu was amused by herself.
She felt that she hadn't felt this kind of pleasure of lying down and letting it go for a long time. Happiness came late but it did.
While thinking and smiling, Qin Zhiyu felt that his eyelids seemed to move. It was no longer a piece of unconscious flesh. It was a good sign!
Qin Zhiyu continued to work hard. She wanted to quickly restore her muscle tension. It was good to play badly, but it was not good to be a living dead.
She blinked quickly and hard, and her eyelids felt heavy, but after blinking a dozen times, even if she still couldn't open her eyes, she could always move her eyelids once or twice.
Qin Zhiyu felt that he might not be able to open his eyelids for a short time, so he changed the task and began to rotate his eyeballs, using some techniques to make his eyeballs move in a circular motion, moving them up and down, left and right.
After repeating this over and over again and her eyeballs moving freely, she contracted the muscles around her mouth, moved her jaw and tongue, and slowly felt the muscle tension begin to appear.
Qin Zhiyu took a deep breath, her soul returned to her body, her limbs seemed to fall into a quagmire, she fought against the stagnant heaviness, moved her neck, shoulders, hands, fingers, legs, ankles and toes, and finally, she sat up suddenly.
I can finally move all the muscles in my body!
