I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Dream Supervision Bureau, gazing at the endless stream of traffic outside, lost in thought. Since joining the Dream Supervision Bureau, my life had undergone a dramatic transformation. Once, I was just an ordinary psychologist; now, I had become one of the key figures safeguarding the Dream World.
"Gu Qing, daydreaming again?" A familiar voice came from behind me. I turned to see my old partner, Zhang Ming.
"Not daydreaming, just deep in thought," I replied with a smile. "I just wrapped up a case and was contemplating what to do next."
Zhang Ming patted me on the shoulder. "Well, you better think hard. The criminals are getting craftier by the day."
He was right. With the proliferation of Dream Technology, some unscrupulous individuals had begun to exploit this technology for criminal activities. My colleagues and I had to rack our brains to come up with various ways to combat these crimes.
Just last week, we successfully dismantled a criminal gang that was using Dream Technology for fraud. This gang infiltrated people's dreams to obtain their personal information and then executed scams. When we finally broke down the door, those criminals were still asleep in their Dream Capsules.
Watching them being escorted into police cars stirred mixed emotions within me. Dream Technology was supposed to be a tool for the benefit of humanity, yet these individuals had twisted it for evil purposes. This strengthened my resolve to establish comprehensive ethical guidelines for Dream Technology.
"By the way, Gu Qing," Zhang Ming's voice pulled me back to reality, "the director is looking for you; he said there’s something important to discuss."
I nodded, straightened my clothes, and headed toward the director's office. Pushing open the door, I saw the director engaged in conversation with several experts.
"Ah, Gu Qing, you're just in time," the director said with a smile upon seeing me. "We’re discussing how to apply Dream Technology in the field of Psychotherapy. As an experienced psychologist, what are your thoughts?"
I took a deep breath and began to articulate my ideas. "Dream Technology indeed holds tremendous potential. We can create specific dream scenarios to help patients confront and overcome psychological trauma. However, we must also prioritize protecting patients' privacy and ensuring the safety of the therapeutic process."
The discussion lasted an entire afternoon. By the time I left the director's office, we had developed a preliminary plan. We decided to conduct a pilot program on a small scale first; if it proved effective, we would gradually expand its implementation.
In the days that followed, I devoted myself wholeheartedly to this project. We helped many individuals suffering from psychological trauma emerge from the shadows and embrace life once more. Seeing the smiles return to their faces made all the hard work worthwhile.
However, the challenges were far from over. As Dream Technology continued to evolve, it began to seep into the field of education. Some proposed that we could utilize Dream Technology to create more vivid and engaging learning experiences.
This idea both excited and worried me. On one hand, it could indeed make learning more enjoyable; on the other hand, if misused, it might negatively impact students' psychological development.
To explore the application of Dream Technology in education, I began visiting various schools frequently. I engaged in deep discussions with educators, collaboratively designing dream-based teaching programs suitable for students.
Throughout this process, I increasingly recognized the importance of raising public awareness about Dream Technology. I started disseminating knowledge about it through various channels, helping people understand its potential risks and benefits.
At times, I would accept media interviews, answering audience questions on television programs. Other times, I would hold lectures in the community, engaging face-to-face with ordinary citizens. Although it was exhausting, seeing more and more people begin to understand Dream Technology correctly made it all worthwhile.
As time passed, Dream Technology became increasingly intelligent. It could automatically adjust based on users' thought patterns, creating a more authentic dream experience. This was undoubtedly a significant advancement but also brought forth more ethical challenges.
I often asked myself: do we have the right to intervene so deeply in others' dreams? How should we delineate the boundaries between dreams and reality?
In the face of these challenges, I remained steadfast in my principles, striving to guide Dream Technology in the right direction. I understood that as a guardian of Dream Technology, I bore a significant responsibility.
In my spare time, I began mentoring young Dream Regulators. I shared my accumulated knowledge and experience with them, hoping they would take on this responsibility and continue to safeguard the Dream World.
Looking into the passionate eyes of these young individuals, I saw a reflection of my younger self. I believe that with their efforts, Dream Technology will undoubtedly have a brighter future.
As time went by, the boundaries between the Dream World and reality became increasingly blurred. Sometimes, I would solve real-world problems within dreams; other times, I would bring inspiration from dreams into reality. This cross-boundary fusion opened up infinite possibilities and filled me with anticipation for the future.
Looking back, I can't help but feel a lot of emotions. Once, I fell into self-blame and despair because I couldn't save the patient. It was Dream Technology that gave me a second chance and let me find the direction of my life again. Now, I am no longer the confused psychologist, but a key figure in protecting Dream World. This role has redeemed me and helped me find my true self. Standing at a new starting point, I look into the distance. I believe that one day in the future, Dream Technology will become an important force for human progress. It will help us better understand ourselves and create a better world. As the guardian of Dream Technology, I will continue to work hard to escort the future of mankind. No matter what the road ahead is, I will go on firmly, because I know that this is not only my responsibility, but also my mission. Dreams and reality will eventually coexist harmoniously. And I will always stand at the intersection of these two worlds, guarding this hard-won balance.
