夢中漫步
A stroll through a dream
1/19
在上一課中，親愛的們，你們已經學到……
In the last lesson, my dear ones, you learned that...
2/19
睡眠是一種狀態，你的注意力會全然沉浸在某個「畫面」中
* Sleep is a condition in which your attention is immersed in a screen.
3/19
無論在夢境或清醒現實裡，你都可能處於睡眠或非睡眠狀態。
* You can sleep or not sleep in a dream as in waking reality.
4/19
要覺醒，你必須將注意力轉移到覺知中心。
* To wake up, you must bring your attention to the awareness centre.
5/19
你的覺知中心是個觀察點，從那裡你可以看到每一刻你的注意力指向何處、聚焦於何事，同時也能觀察你正在做什麼以及周遭發生的事情。
Your awareness centre is an observation point, from which you can see where your attention is directed in any one moment and what it is focusing on. At the same time, you see what you are doing and what is going on around you.
6/19
現在，醒過來問問自己：我在哪裡？我在做什麼？我的注意力在哪裡？此刻，你剛從睡眠狀態中覺醒，來到了覺知中心。這裡是我所在之處，這便是環繞我的現實。我意識清醒，能看見自己，也能洞察周遭。(Where am I? What am I doing? Where is my attention?)
Now, wake up and ask yourself: Where am I? What am I doing? Where is my attention? Right now, you have just woken up and found yourself at the awareness point. Here I am, and this is the reality that surrounds me. I am aware. I can see myself and I can see reality.
7/19
對你們這些珍貴的孩子來說，這是一種陌生的境界，你們只是偶爾能瞥見，而大部分時間都被內在或外在的畫面所牽制。現在，試著持續保持這種覺知狀態至少一小時，看看會有什麼新發現，你定會覺得別有洞天。
This is an unfamiliar state for you, my precious ones. You only get occasional glimpses of it. The rest of the time, you are transfixed by either the inner or the outer screen. Now, try and hold the state of awareness for at least for an hour and see what happens. You’ll find it will be interesting.
8/19
最好在你一覺醒來、精神煥發、心情愉快的早晨進行此練習；若心情不佳時嘗試，往往事倍功半。
It is best to do this in the morning after you have slept well and are feeling bright and happy. It is not worth trying it when you are in a bad mood: it won’t work.
9/19
因此，走入那個觀察點時，自語道：「我看見自己，我看見現實。」(I see myself and I see reality) 並下定意圖(Intention)：「今天我要徜徉於清醒的夢中。」(today I am going to stroll through a waking dream) 然後以這份清明的狀態外出散步，無論是去上班、上大學，還是隨意漫步。
So, get into the observation point telling yourself: I see myself and I see reality. Set yourself the intention, ‘today I am going to stroll through a waking dream’. Then go for a walk, wherever you like, to work or to university, in this state of clarity.
10/19
為了達到最佳效果，最好去一個沒有人認識你的地方，例如前往購物中心或娛樂中心的散步之旅。這將是一段自由穿越夢境的漫步之旅。
For the best effect, go to a place where nobody knows you, on a walk to a shopping centre or an entertainment centre. This will be a free walk through a dream.
11/19
當你沉浸在任何一邊的畫面裡時，你就不再是真正的自己，也無法掌控自己或所處的情境。事實上，情況正好相反：任何情境都有可能化作夢境來左右你。
When you are immersed in either one of the screens, you are not yourself. You aren’t in control either of yourself or the situation. The opposite is true in fact: any situation can turn into a dream and control you.
12/19
那麼，當你開始自覺時會發生什麼？你便解放了自己，從此無論在睡夢中或清醒時，你的夢境都將變得有意識。你不僅能掌控自己，更能逐步獲得控制周遭局勢的能力——關於這點，我們稍後再談。目前，就先出去散步，靜觀一切所見。
And what happens when you become self-aware? You free yourself, and from this moment on, your dreaming, whether asleep or in waking, it doesn’t matter which, becomes conscious. You are in control of yourself, and most importantly, you acquire the capacity to control the situation around you, but more on that later. For now, try just going for a walk and observing what you see.
13/19
例如，你啟動覺知，走進一家商店，打個招呼、四處逛逛、環顧四周，甚至詢問問題，並留意店員的反應；但千萬別讓自己又陷入睡眠。在你開口前，務必將注意力拉回中心：「我看見自己，我看見現實。」
For example, you turn on your awareness and go into a shop. Say hello, walk about, look around, maybe ask a question and observe the reaction of the shop assistants. Just don’t fall asleep. Before you speak, be sure to direct your attention to the centre: I see myself and I see reality.
14/19
你會發現周圍的人會帶著一絲好奇的目光看你，莫名地對你格外熱情友善，和往常截然不同。究竟發生了什麼改變？
You’ll find that people will look at you with a certain curiosity and for some reason be especially responsive and well-disposed towards you, in a way they were not before. What has changed?
15/19
與你不同的是，周遭的人依然處於沉睡狀態，他們的注意力被各種瑣事牽制，彷彿身處一部電影。他們的思緒模糊、行動不由自主，可以說，他們活得就像電影中的角色。
Unlike you, the people around you are still asleep. Their attention is occupied, and they are involved in their everyday scenarios, like in a film. Their thoughts are unclear and their actions non-conscious. You could say, they live as if they were characters in a film.
16/19
而你，與周遭的人迥異，已在夢境中覺醒，就彷彿從畫面中走出，步入了電影院大廳。你可以隨時離開、重返那部電影，並自由穿梭於其他角色之間，無需受限於既定的情節。
You, unlike the others around you, have woken up in the dream as if you had stepped from the screen down into the cinema hall. At any moment, you can leave, return to the movie, and walk around freely among the other characters, regardless of the narrative.
17/19
當你處於這種狀態下，可能會給他人一種異度的感覺，他們隱約覺得你身上有些不尋常，但又說不出具體是什麼。別擔心，他們並不自覺地以一種友好好奇的態度對待你，而你也不必表露出自己知道些他們所不知的秘密。
When you are in this state, you may come across to others as a little otherworldly. They vaguely sense that there is something odd about you, but cannot say what exactly. Don’t worry, they’re not aware that they are treating you with a certain friendliness and curiosity. And you don’t let on that you know something they don’t.
18/19
你可曾想過，那些對你友善的態度究竟從何而來？尤其是那些素未謀面的人，在他們眼中，你就像黑暗中一隻閃爍的螢火蟲；當你進入有意識的覺知狀態，你的能量流動便會變得截然不同——肉眼看不見，但卻能在潛意識中感受到。
Do you know where their friendliness towards you comes from, especially in those who don’t know you? To them, you are like a firefly in a land of shadows. When you are in a state of conscious awareness, your energy flows differently. It can’t be seen physically, but it can be felt subconsciously.
19/19
僅僅是在清醒夢中漫步，你至少能吸引周遭人們的關注與善意。你可以認識新朋友，享受愉快的對話；但這僅僅是個開始。聰明點，學會掌控現實；只要你不先將自己逼瘋！嘿！好了，好了，別擔心，我的小寶貝們。
Just by walking through a waking dream, at the very least you will attract the attention and good-will of those around you. You can make new friends and spend the time in pleasant conversation. But that is just the start. Be smart. Learn to drive reality. If you don’t drive yourselves mad first! Hey! Ok, ok, don’t worry, my little ones.
夢中的漫步
A stroll through a dream
1/19
在上一次課程中，我親愛的，你們學到了……
In the last lesson, my dear ones, you learned that...
2/19
睡眠是一種你的注意力沉浸在屏幕中的狀態。
* Sleep is a condition in which your attention is immersed in a screen.
3/19
在夢中或清醒的現實中，你可以選擇睡或不睡。
* You can sleep or not sleep in a dream as in waking reality.
4/19
要醒來，你必須將注意力帶到意識中心。
* To wake up, you must bring your attention to the awareness centre.
5/19
你的意識中心是一個觀察點，從這裡你可以看到你的注意力在任何時刻指向哪裡，專注於什麼。同時，你看到自己在做什麼，周圍發生了什麼。
Your awareness centre is an observation point, from which you can see where your attention is directed in any one moment and what it is focusing on. At the same time, you see what you are doing and what is going on around you.
6/19
現在，醒來並問自己：我在哪裡？我在做什麼？我的注意力在哪裡？現在，你剛剛醒來，發現自己在意識點。這是我，這是圍繞我的現實。我是清醒的。我能看到自己，也能看到現實。
Now, wake up and ask yourself: Where am I? What am I doing? Where is my attention? Right now, you have just woken up and found yourself at the awareness point. Here I am, and this is the reality that surrounds me. I am aware. I can see myself and I can see reality.
7/19
這對你來說是一種不熟悉的狀態，我珍貴的。你只能偶爾瞥見它。其餘的時間，你被內在或外在屏幕所吸引。現在，試著保持這種意識狀態至少一個小時，看看會發生什麼。你會發現這很有趣。
This is an unfamiliar state for you, my precious ones. You only get occasional glimpses of it. The rest of the time, you are transfixed by either the inner or the outer screen. Now, try and hold the state of awareness for at least for an hour and see what happens. You’ll find it will be interesting.
8/19
最好在早上嘗試這樣做，當你睡得很好並感到精神煥發和快樂時。當你心情不好時，不值得嘗試：這不會有效。
It is best to do this in the morning after you have slept well and are feeling bright and happy. It is not worth trying it when you are in a bad mood: it won’t work.
9/19
所以，進入觀察點，告訴自己：我看到自己，我看到現實。設定你的意圖，“今天我要在清醒的夢中漫步”。然後去散步，無論你喜歡去哪裡，去工作或去大學，在這種清晰的狀態下。
So, get into the observation point telling yourself: I see myself and I see reality. Set yourself the intention, ‘today I am going to stroll through a waking dream’. Then go for a walk, wherever you like, to work or to university, in this state of clarity.
10/19
為了達到最佳效果，去一個沒有人認識你的地方，去購物中心或娛樂中心散步。這將是一場自由的夢中漫步。
For the best effect, go to a place where nobody knows you, on a walk to a shopping centre or an entertainment centre. This will be a free walk through a dream.
11/19
當你沉浸在其中一個屏幕時，你就不是自己。你無法控制自己或情況。事實上，任何情況都可能變成夢境並控制你。
When you are immersed in either one of the screens, you are not yourself. You aren’t in control either of yourself or the situation. The opposite is true in fact: any situation can turn into a dream and control you.
12/19
當你變得自覺時會發生什麼？你解放了自己，從這一刻起，無論是睡夢中還是清醒中，無論哪一種，你的夢境都變得有意識。你能控制自己，最重要的是，你獲得了控制周圍情況的能力，但這稍後再說。現在，試著去散步，觀察你所看到的。
And what happens when you become self-aware? You free yourself, and from this moment on, your dreaming, whether asleep or in waking, it doesn’t matter which, becomes conscious. You are in control of yourself, and most importantly, you acquire the capacity to control the situation around you, but more on that later. For now, try just going for a walk and observing what you see.
13/19
例如，你開啟了你的意識，走進一家商店。打個招呼，四處走走，看看周圍，也許問個問題，觀察店員的反應。只是不要睡著。在你說話之前，務必將注意力引導到中心：我看到自己，我看到現實。
For example, you turn on your awareness and go into a shop. Say hello, walk about, look around, maybe ask a question and observe the reaction of the shop assistants. Just don’t fall asleep. Before you speak, be sure to direct your attention to the centre: I see myself and I see reality.
14/19
你會發現人們會帶著某種好奇心看著你，並且出於某種原因，對你特別友好和熱情，這是以前沒有的。發生了什麼變化？
You’ll find that people will look at you with a certain curiosity and for some reason be especially responsive and well-disposed towards you, in a way they were not before. What has changed?
15/19
與你不同，周圍的人仍然在沉睡。他們的注意力被佔據，像在電影中一樣，他們參與在日常情境中。他們的思維不清晰，行動無意識。可以說，他們活得像電影中的角色。
Unlike you, the people around you are still asleep. Their attention is occupied, and they are involved in their everyday scenarios, like in a film. Their thoughts are unclear and their actions non-conscious. You could say, they live as if they were characters in a film.
16/19
而你，與周圍的人不同，你在夢中醒來，就像你從屏幕走到影院大廳。隨時可以離開，回到電影中，自由地在其他角色中間走動，無論劇情如何。
You, unlike the others around you, have woken up in the dream as if you had stepped from the screen down into the cinema hall. At any moment, you can leave, return to the movie, and walk around freely among the other characters, regardless of the narrative.
17/19
當你處於這種狀態時，別人可能會覺得你有點不屬於這個世界。他們模糊地感覺到你有些奇怪，但說不出具體是什麼。別擔心，他們沒有意識到他們對你表現出某種友好和好奇。而你也不要透露你知道他們不知道的事情。
When you are in this state, you may come across to others as a little otherworldly. They vaguely sense that there is something odd about you, but cannot say what exactly. Don’t worry, they’re not aware that they are treating you with a certain friendliness and curiosity. And you don’t let on that you know something they don’t.
18/19
你知道他們對你友好的原因嗎，特別是那些不認識你的人？對他們來說，你就像陰影之地中的螢火蟲。當你處於意識清醒的狀態時，你的能量流動不同。這種能量無法在物理上看到，但可以在潛意識中感受到。
Do you know where their friendliness towards you comes from, especially in those who don’t know you? To them, you are like a firefly in a land of shadows. When you are in a state of conscious awareness, your energy flows differently. It can’t be seen physically, but it can be felt subconsciously.
19/19
僅僅通過在清醒的夢中行走，至少你會吸引周圍人的注意和好感。你可以結交新朋友，享受愉快的交談。但這只是開始。要聰明。學會駕馭現實。只要你不先把自己逼瘋！嘿！好吧，好吧，別擔心，我的小傢伙們。
Just by walking through a waking dream, at the very least you will attract the attention and good-will of those around you. You can make new friends and spend the time in pleasant conversation. But that is just the start. Be smart. Learn to drive reality. If you don’t drive yourselves mad first! Hey! Ok, ok, don’t worry, my little ones.
