Rao Yi’s article also has a Yin Yin paragraph attached to it. Ye’s talk video about “The Meaning of Dreams”.

Yin Ye also said in the video, “Dreaming is the 0.1 version of the human language universe, which is a real alpha version, because all the fantasies we generate in dreams have both the recognition of God There is also awareness of nature, and awareness between people. All the feelings we can achieve in dreams are all real.”
