地平线系列：我们为什么会做梦（2009）

broke down spectacularly.
而我只是坐在那里，他可能真的很正常
And I was just sitting there,
and he could be really normal
然后就像这样翻转
and then just flip like that
突然间，他站了起来，站在我身上，然后他就开始大喊大叫!
and just suddenly, he just got up and
stood over me and he just went whack!
直接进入，直接进入这里，然后......就像。
Right into, right into here and...
and just like,
要记住他的具体做法非常困难。
it's very difficult to remember
the exact way that he did it.
我只记得这个巨大的人在我头上晃来晃去
I just remember this great
big looming person over me
记得婴儿在那里，婴儿开始哭泣
and remember the baby was there,
the baby started crying
然后第一次撞击时，我感觉到有东西裂开了。
and then the first impact
I felt something crack,
我立即知道有什么不对劲，但我不知道是什么不对劲。
and I knew immediately something
was wrong but I didn't know what
我痛得大叫，倒在了地上。
and I screamed in pain
and fell onto the floor.
第二天，她痛苦地倒下了，被紧急送往医院。
The next day she collapsed in agony
and was rushed to hospital.
在那里，医生诊断出肋骨骨折和脾脏破裂。
There, doctors diagnosed broken ribs
and a ruptured spleen.
她当时的伴侣来到重症监护室看她。
Her then-partner
came to see her in Intensive Care.
这也真的很吓人
That was really scary as well
因为他试图让人觉得情况并没有那么糟糕。
because he was trying to make out
that it wasn't as bad as it was,
所以他告诉我他爱我，但他并不是真心的
so he was telling me that he loved me
and he didn't mean it
但随后他就会交换和改变
but then he would swap and change
并说这是我的错，因为他就是这么做的，他把我弄糊涂了。
and say it was my fault because
that's what he did, he confused me.
当我们因某一事件而受到创伤时，该记忆会被储存在
When we are traumatised by an event,
the memory is stored
在大脑中处理原始情绪的部分，杏仁核。
in the part of the brain which deals
with raw emotion, the amygdala.
记忆被定格在那里，一次又一次地回放。
The memory is frozen there
and replayed again and again.
这就是发生在莎拉身上的事情，所以她的梦想，而不是处理
This is what happened to Sarah so
her dreams, rather than processing
和解决她的记忆，只能起到加强记忆的作用。
and resolving her memories,
only served to reinforce them.
每做一次噩梦，创伤性的记忆就会变得越来越严重。
With every nightmare the traumatic
memories became worse and worse
直到它们也重新出现在她清醒的生活中。
until they reappeared
in her waking life as well.
开车时，我看着后视镜，会觉得他就在我后面。
Driving, I'd look in my rear view
mirror and I'd think he's behind me,
在我身后的汽车里，但我知道这不可能是他。
in the car behind me
but I knew it couldn't be him
但我的大脑告诉我，那是他，尽管我知道
but my mind was telling me that it
was him, even though I knew
他不能这样做，我不得不把我的车停下来。
that he couldn't and literally
I had to stop my car
而我不得不停车，因为我无法呼吸。
and I'd have to park up
because I couldn't breathe.
我想如果我不能呼吸，我就会崩溃。
I thought if I can't breathe,
I'm going to crash.
最终，莎拉被她的梦想所禁锢。
Eventually Sarah became
imprisoned by her dreams,
太害怕离开房♥子。
too afraid to leave the house.
我说服自己，我是疯了。
I convinced myself that I was mad.
我感到很生气。我所采取的一切，因为我没有睡觉。
I felt mad. Everything that I took,
cos I wasn't sleeping,
我去找我的医生，我说，"我很生气。"
and I went to my doctor
and I said, "I'm mad. "
经过三年的恐惧，莎拉终于被诊断出
After three years of terror,
Sarah was finally diagnosed
患有创伤后压力综合症。
with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
经过许多个月的咨♥询♥。
Following many months
of counselling,
她从恶梦中被释放出来。
she was released
from her nightmares.
我谈得越多，它吓唬我的力量就越小。
The more I talked about it, the less
power it had to frighten me
所以我们经常谈论它，但它似乎并不那么可怕。
so we'd talk about it quite a lot
but it didn't seem so scary.
一旦我们做了所有的谈话，就不那么有力了
Once we did all the talking
it wasn't so powerful
而且每次都感到越来越安全
and each time if felt safer and safer
就像我现在可以告诉你，只是我不觉得难过
like I could tell you now
and only I don't feel upset
而且我的手没有出汗，我不觉得有什么创伤。
and my hands aren't sweaty,
I don't feel traumatised.
这似乎只是发生过的事情，现在不再发生了。
It just seems something that happened
and it's not happening any more.
它过去了，它消失了，它结束了。
It's been, it's gone, it's finished.
莎拉的故事表明，思想的力量
Sarah's story shows
that the power of the mind
可以利用它来克服甚至是最衰弱的梦想。
can be harnessed to overcome even
the most debilitating of dreams.
看来在做梦和清醒之间有一条细微的界限。
It appears that there is a fine line
between dreaming and being awake.
是什么让他们分开
What keeps them apart
是指外部世界对我们意识的影响程度。
is the degree to which the outside
world impinges on our consciousness.
梦和意识之间的关系
The relationship between
dreams and consciousness
是我认为我们实际上可以说我们一直在做梦。
is I think we could actually say that
we are dreaming all of the time.
只是在清醒状态下，我们的梦被塑造出来了
It's just that during
wakefulness our dreams are shaped
通过我们的感官获得的刺♥激♥信息。
by stimulus information
that's coming through our senses,
而在做梦时，我们大脑中的同一意识
whereas during dreaming, the same
consciousness within our brains
不受任何外部信息的影响
is not shaped
by any external information
但它是在内部产生的。
but it's generated internally.
所以我认为，生命是一个由感官引导的梦。
So I think that life is a dream
which is guided by the senses.
清醒时，我们似乎可以控制自己的意识状态
When awake, we appear to have
control over our conscious state
但也有极少数人
but there are a rare few
能够将自己的意识控制延伸到睡眠中的人
who can extend control of their
consciousness into their sleep
并将梦境和清醒的世界结合起来。
and bring the worlds of dreams
and wakefulness together.
这些人被称为清醒的梦者。
These people are
called lucid dreamers.
对于一个有争议的科学家来说，清晰的梦境的发作
For one controversial scientist,
an episode of lucid dreaming
它是如此强大，改变了他的生活轨迹。
was so powerful it changed
the course of his life.
他的名字是斯蒂芬-拉伯格。
His name is Stephen LaBerge.
我做了几个清醒的梦，你知道的，只是自发的。
I had a couple of lucid dreams
where you know just spontaneously
我有，"啊这是一个梦，这很有趣。
I had, "ah this is a dream
and this is interesting,
"我想更多地了解它。"
"I want to learn more about it. "
我开始阅读有关书籍，发现
I started reading books about it
and found out
在70年代末，大多数睡眠研究和做梦的专家都认为
in the late '70s that most experts
in sleep research and dreaming
认为清晰的梦境是不可能的。
thought that lucid dreams
were impossible.
拉伯格着手证明专家是错误的
LaBerge set about
proving the experts wrong
并设计了一个巧妙的实验来做到这一点。
and devised an ingenious
experiment to do so.
在他的臣民入睡之前。
Before his subjects went to sleep,
拉伯格给了他们一个简单的指示--
LaBerge gave them a simple
instruction -
如果他们在梦中意识到有闪烁的灯光
if they became aware of a flashing
light during their dream
他们要移♥动♥他们的眼睛，首先向左，然后向右。
they were to move their eyes,
first left and then right.
然后在他们做梦的时候，拉贝格将一束光照在他们的眼睛上。
Then as they dreamt,
LaBerge shone a light in their eyes.
值得注意的是，做梦的人回应说。
Remarkably the dreamer responded.
一个人可以简单地向左看，向右看。
A person could simply look to
the left and look to the right,
和从左到右，这将是一个预先商定的信♥号♥♥
and left to right, and that would be
a pre-agreed upon signal
因此，这确实变成了可能。
and so indeed that turned out
to be possible.
在证明了清晰的梦境是可能的。
Having demonstrated that lucid
dreaming was possible,
拉贝格离开了科学世界。
LaBerge left the world
of science behind.
如今在夏威夷的大岛上。
Nowadays on the big island
of Hawaii,
LaBerge聚集了一批人参加清醒梦境研讨会
LaBerge gathers groups of people
for lucid dreaming workshops
他使用了一种借鉴其早期实验的技术。
and he uses a technique which draws
on his early experiments.
学生们得到了一个带有闪光灯的面具。
