儿子的重大发现

儿子的重大发现

Henry Song

(2007.1.26 X5DJ)

孩子们的大脑总是充满了新奇的念头,迸发让人意外的思想.譬如,我们老大最近有了新的发现.而这种发现,估计一百个成年人不会有一个会去想到.我知道我做不到.无它,只是因为我们是以成年人的思维看世界,而成年人的思维已经被我们的生活与教育所定格,带有约定俗成的惯性,让我们变得懒惰而失去了原始的想象与创造.

其实看着孩子们的行为,听着孩子们的讲话,常会让我觉得, 相对于绝大部分的成人而言,每一个孩子都是天才.他们的行为也许幼稚,他们的语言也许常常让人觉得可笑,但他们是在用自己不受约束的大脑,创造性地认识理解着这个世界,并试图得出自己的结论.而这些理解,往往会让你听了耳目为之一新.

看看我儿子到底有什么发现吧!

老大: Daddy,我昨天晚上做了个很奇怪的梦.

我: 是吗?梦见什么了?

老大:嗯,好象我们去外面玩迷宫的游戏.我们在一个很大的迷宫里,我正在想办法出去,突然有个人出现在我面前,告诉我你和妈妈已经在外面等我了.我正觉得奇怪,你们怎么这么快就走出了迷宫,就醒了,已经是早上了.

我:嗯,听起来好象是有点奇怪.

老大: 是.不过这个梦让我有了一个重大的发现.

我:真的?什么发现?

老大:我认为梦里的一切都是慢动作的.

我:是吗?为什么呢?

老大:你看, 昨天晚上我刚睡下就开始做这个梦,一醒来已经是早上了.我的梦很短,可却用了整个一夜才做完,所以它一定是慢动作才被拉长到一整夜了.

我:噢......

我没有研究过梦,做了梦也大半醒来就忘了,即便不忘,也顶多回味一下梦到了什么.我无法解释老大的结论是否正确,但老大能从一个简单的梦,去考虑到梦的长短与时间,速度的问题,并得出一个自己的,听起来很有些道理的结论,则真是让我十分惊异.

(下面是儿子与我对话的原文)

Alex: Daddy, I had a very weird dream last night.

Dad: Really? What is the dream about?

Alex: Well, it is kind of like we were out playing a game of maze. We were inside a giant maze, and I was trying to figure out how to get out of it. Then, suddenly, there was a man showing up in front of me, telling me you and mom were waiting for me outside the maze. Just as I was wondering how you got out of the maze so fast, I woke up and it was morning already.

Dad: Well,it does sound kind of weird.

Alex: Yeah. But I made a great discovery out of it.

Dad: Really? What is that?

Alex: I think everything in a dream is in slow motion.

Dad: Really? Why do you say that?

Alex: Well, immediately after I went to sleep last night, I started to have this dream, and then I woke up in the morning. My dream was very short, but it took the whole night to finish. So, it must be in slow motion to get stretched out for a whole night.

Dad: Oh......

喜欢做梦,说梦,听梦。

小宋童鞋做个梦都有哲学深度的。
