嘿,纽约 Hey, New York.
清醒的生活充满了许多令人兴奋的事情 Waking life is filledwith a lot of exciting stuff.
但每晚当睡魔帮你盖好被子 But every night whenthe Sandman tucks you into bed,
你离开了理性思维的世界 you exit the worldof rational thought
然后开始做梦 and begin to dream.
如果人生像一场篮球赛 If life is likea basketball game,
那么梦就有点像中场秀 then dreams are kind oflike the halftime show.
所有的球员都离开了球场 剩下的只有你 All the players leavethe court, and you're left
用一种没有人要求的奇怪的表演 with a strange performancethat nobody asked for,
但是 你还是得到了 but, uh, you get anyway.
它总是很吸引人 因为它是一扇通向世界的窗户 It's always fascinating becauseit's a window into a world
你通常看不到的东西 that you don'tusually get to see.
我有段时间记不住自己做的梦了 I haven't been able to remembermy dreams for a while now,
我觉得我错过了什么 and I feel likeI'm missing out.
我的夜晚更像是滑冰场 My nights are morelike a skating rink
赞博尼冰川静静地修复着冰层 where the Zamboniquietly repairs the ice,
让它平滑和空白 leaving it smooth and blank
在我早上醒来之前 before I wake upin the morning.
科学家说 一般人 Scientists saythat the average person
每晚大概做四个梦 has around four dreams a night.
所以 你知道他们肯定在某处 So, you know they gottabe in there somewhere.
我甚至不确定它们是否有用 I'm not even sure ifthey would even be useful
如果我能找到的话 if I could access them.
但是 一旦某件事耽搁了足够长的时间 But, once something isbacked up long enough,
它可能会导致你意想不到的问题 it can start to causeproblems you didn't expect.
一旦你知道如何让一切重新运转起来 And once you figure out howto get things moving again,
你脑子里所有的好东西 all that good stuffin your head could
终于冲出来了 finally come rushing out and
让你的世界充满灵感 fill your worldwith inspiration.
所以 与其浪费你一半的生命在深度睡眠中 So, instead of wasting halfyour life in a deep sleep,
是时候释放你的午夜潜能了 it's time to unlockyour midnight potential
最后是如何记忆 and finally figure outhow to remember
所有那些甜蜜的梦 all those sweet, sweet dreams.
应该是你要做的第一件事 Supposedly, the firstthing you gotta do
就是在床边放上纸笔 is keep a penand paper by the bed,
这样你就能养成写作的习惯 so that you can getin the habit of writing
在你醒来的那一刻 一切都放下了 everything downthe moment you wake up.
即使你脑子一片空白 你也可以写下 Even if you draw a blank,you can just write down,
"没什么可报告的"在你意识到之前 "nothing to report,"and before you know it,
你会开始回忆小片段 you'll begin to recalllittle fragments.
一开始 一切都很模糊 Everything's reallyhazy at first.
你记得模糊的形状和颜色 You remember vagueshapes and colors,
但是 过了一段时间 but, after a while,
内容变得更加明确 the content becomesmuch more clearly defined.
有时候 你会梦到自己在飞翔 Sometimes, you dreamthat you're flying.
或者你搬到了一个陌生的新社区 Or that you move intoa strange new neighborhood
只是稍微出了点城 just slightly out of town.
有时候 你会梦到自己被人追求 Sometimes, you dreamthat you're being pursued
在高速追逐中 in a high-speed chase.
或者你必须完成的任务 Or that you have to complete
一个你不理解的奇怪挑战 a strange challengeyou don't understand.
你不确定这意味着什么 You're not surewhat any of it means,
但也许你能发现一些实际用途 but maybe you could discoversome kind of practical use
所有这些原材料 for all this raw material.
你 你在那的是谁? So, who's, who's that you got there?
这是狡猾的 This is Foxy.
非常快乐 快乐的狗 爱人类 Very happy, jolly dog who loves people.
很酷的 好吧 -那是谁?那是谁? -Cool. Okay. -Who's that? Who's that?
所以 一天晚上当我睡觉时 我做了一个梦 So, one night when I went to sleep, I had a dream.
我和侄子们在公园里 I was in the park with my nephews,
我们带着我刚养的狗散步 and we were walking with the dog that I had just gotten.
我往下看 And I looked down,
那条皮带实际上已经裂成了两半 and the leash actually had split into two.
我侄子拿着一个 我也拿着一个 So, my nephew was holding one, and then I was holding one.
这就像是在梦里的一个“啊哈”时刻 And it's just kind of an "ah-ha" moment in the dream.
所以我醒了 开始画草图 So, I woke up, started drawing some sketches.
然后我就开始主动联系了 Um, then I started pretty much reaching out
对一些制造商来说 一切都是从那里开始的 to some manufacturers, and it all took off from there.
你认为你的狗知道 You think your dog knows
它被两个人控制了吗? that it's being controlled by two people?
她喜欢它 她喜欢所有的关注 She loves it. She loves all the attention.
只是增加了与人的对话 Just increases the conversation with people
当他们散步 when they're walking.
所以现在 人们可以更多地交流 比如 So now, people can communicate a little more, like,
“我们去这里 我们去那里 ” "Let's go here, let's go there."
每个人都能享受这种经历 And everybody gets to enjoy the experience.
这是好 -This is nice.
我要说最大的障碍是名字 I will say the biggest hurdle was the name.
为什么这个名字那么难呢? Well, why was the name hard?
这个名字很难取 因为 很不幸 The name was hard because, unfortunately,
"爱"这个词有点太性感了 the word "love" has kinda been over-sexualized,
把它做成爱的皮带 and just making it a Love Leash,
我还在的时候 人们对此有不同的看法 people had different ideas about it when I was--
尤其是我想找人的时候 especially when I was reaching out to find people
用收缩膜包装盒子之类的东西 to shrink-wrap the box and different things like that.
他们很好奇这是什么 They were curious about what it is, um.
-他们以为这是性玩具吗?是的 -Oh, did they think this was a sex toy? Yeah.
我做了个梦 我坚持了下来 我相信它 I had the dream. I stuck with it. I believed in it.
我有信心 我只是继续前进 I had faith, and I just moved forward.
我认为任何人都能做到 I think anybody can really do it.
你曾经有过希望能忘记的梦想吗? Do you ever have dreams that you wish you could forget?
几 A few.
所以 看看你的梦日记吧 So, take a look inyour dream journal to see
如果里面有人们想买的东西 if there's anything in therethat people might wanna buy.
你做了个梦 You did have a dreamthat involved
某种便携式复印机 some sort of portablecopy machine.
但是 当你试着画一个原型时 But, when you triedto draw a prototype,
这看起来不太实际 it didn't seem very practical,
事实证明 and it actually turns out
这是他们发明的 that they kind of invented
已经差不多了 something like that already.
所以如果你想不出一种产品 So if you can'tthink of a product,
也许你梦想的价值在于理解 maybe the value of yourdreams is in understanding
他们能告诉你关于你自己的什么 what they can tell youabout yourself.
你的大脑似乎总是在暗示 Your brain alwaysseems to be suggesting
对你来说很奇怪 strange things to you.
很多时候 这甚至不是你想要的东西 And a lot of the time,it's not even stuffyou knew you wanted.
这种事在现实生活中也经常发生 This happens to you a lotin real life, too.
这肯定是有原因的 And there must be a reason you
继续看这样的图像 keep seeing images like this.
目标广告背后的理念是 The idea behind targeted ads is, you know,
你又不是被强迫喂食一堆无关紧要的垃圾 you're not being force-fed a bunch of irrelevant junk
你不想要的 你知道 你回想一下 that you don't want. You know, you think back
回到以前那种大目录的时代 to when you used to get these giant catalogs
都是你不想要的东西 of just crap that you didn't want.
你会收到很多广告 You'd get delivered all these ads,
就像电视上跟你无关的节目 like on TV that had nothing to do with you.
这个想法当然是正确的 So, the idea is, of course, the right one
他们想要提供与你相关的东西 where they want to deliver things that are relevant to you.
这是你使用的界面 Okay, so this is kind of the interface you use
-在Facebook上做广告?-是的 -to create an ad on Facebook? -Yeah.
正确的 我们可以在这里创造一些观众 Correct. We can create some audiences here.
感情状态…… Relationship status...
超过600万人是寡妇? Ov-over six million people are widowed?
是的 毫米 -Yep. -Mm.
哇 这是猪肉吗? Wow. Is that pork?
是的,大概 Yeah, presumably.
我们开发了什么 并获得了专利 What we developed and we received the patent on
就是能够看到一个人在网站上 is the ability to see a person going on a site,
他们真正关注的是什么 他们的意图是什么 what they were actually looking at, their intent.
你认为有了这些数据点 你可能知道吗 Do you think like with all these data points, you might know
就像用户比他们自己更了解自己? like a user better than they know themselves?
是的 因为他们实际上…… Yes, because they're actually...
你是在防火墙后面做的 对吧? You're doing it behind the firewall, right?
你是私下做的 You're doing it in private.
所以 潜意识里 这是非常不同的 So, it's very different, subconsciously,
你所做的和你所采用的模式 what you do and the patterns that you take
而不是你说的做的 versus what you say you actually do.
就像目标广告行业一样 Is like the targeted ad industry,
这真的是一个有利可图的行业吗? is that a really lucrative industry?
是的 绝对是 Yeah, it definitely is.
如果你平移到另一边 If you pan around to the other side,
我订了五辆车 I have five cars on order,
而且只有三个点 and only have three spots.
像这样的东西要50万美元 Something like this is half a million dollars
-只是为了车库 -哇 -just for the garage. -Wow.
电梯里还有10万辆 And then another 100,000 in the lifts
还有其他所有你必须放下的事情 所以… and all the other things that you have to put behind it, so...
即使是电梯 都很棒 但只是为了上车 Even the lifts, they're great, but just to get to a car,
你得把一个搬出去 再搬下来 再搬上来 you have to move one out, bring it down, bring the other one up.
-哦,是的 -这还不是最糟糕的问题 -Oh yeah. -It's not the worst problem,
但我想去地下 but I'd love to go subterranean.
哦我的上帝! Oh my god!
-发出所有正确的声音 感觉正确 神圣的狗屎 -Makes all the right noises, feels right. -Holy shit.
-是的 -这真的是一个令人惊叹的驱动器 -Yeah. -It's just really an amazing drive.
-让我系上安全带 -好主意 -Let me put on my seatbelt. -That's a good idea.
我完全忘记了 I totally forgot.
就像你的梦想一样 It seems like the stuffin your dreams might be
最真诚地表达你内心深处的渴望 the most honest expressionof all your deepest desires.
也许你也该时不时去做点什么 And maybe you should acton them once in a while.
也许你终于该买了 Maybe you shouldfinally purchase
你梦寐以求的东西 that object you'vebeen dreaming about,
或者投资一些东西 大的东西 or maybe invest in something.Something big.
如果你一直做压力梦 And if you keephaving stress dreams
关于和你的伴侣吵架 about fightingwith your partner,
你可以试着在现实生活中解决问题 you might try to settlethings in real life.
但这可能会引发更大的争论 But this might lead toan even bigger argument
他们是怎么告诉你的 where they tell you that
你做的一切都是为了你自己 you make everythingabout yourself,
他们想要一个愿意承担责任的人 and they want someonewho's ready to commit.
你不是那种人 And that's just notthe kind of person you are.
你求他们再给你一次机会 You beg them to giveyou a second chance,
但他们最终决定永远分手 but they ultimately decideto break it off for good.
所以 你只能坐在公寓里 So, you end up just sittingaround your apartment,
看了一堆电视 watching a bunch of television
为自己感到难过 and feeling sorry for yourself,
最终的转换 which eventually transitions
陷入一场全面的身份危机 into a full-blownidentity crisis.
所以 你开始锻炼 So, you start exercising
和老朋友联系 and reconnectingwith old friends
培养全新的爱好 and taking upbrand new hobbies
你以前从来没有考虑过 that you never would'veconsidered before.
过了一段时间 你开始感觉 And after a while,you begin to feel
喜欢最好的自己 like the best versionof yourself.
这一切都不会发生 And none of thiswould have happened
如果你没有听从你的梦想 if you didn't listento your dreams.
不幸的是,一些梦想 Unfortunately, some dreams
都很难理解 are really hard to understand,
你也不知道方向是什么 and you can't always tellwhat kind of direction
他们想给你 they're trying to give you.
你最近做了一个梦 You had one dream recentlywhere you walk into
你家附近的自助洗衣店 a laundromat inyour neighborhood.
但当你进去的时候 But when you get in there,
不是用洗衣机刷墙 instead of washing machineslining the walls,
都是炉子 还有 it's all stoves, and
人们正在做饭而不是洗衣服 people are cooking insteadof washing their clothes.
差不多就这样了 That was pretty much it,
你也不确定上面写的是什么 and you're not reallysure what it says
关于你和你的欲望 about you or your desires.
- -
你试着和一些人谈论它可能意味着什么 You try to talk to a handful ofpeople about what it can mean.
我在城里走一圈 就发现 I walk around the city, and I find, like,
就像个自助洗衣店 it's like a laundromat,
但是里面没有洗衣机 but there's no washing machines in it.
但是 每个人似乎都不感兴趣 But, everyone seemedkind of uninterested
我想转入下一个话题 and wanted to move onto the next subject
尽可能快 as quickly as possible.
里面没有洗衣机 There's no washing machines inside.
-里面只有炉子 大家都在做饭 -是的 -It's just stoves inside, and everyone's cooking. -Yeah.
当人们参与进来时 And when people did engage,
他们只想告诉你他们的梦想 all they wanted to do wastell you about their dreams,
你也觉得哪个很无趣 which you alsofound uninteresting
也很难与人沟通 and had a hard timeconnecting with.
我 我只是坐在银行边上 I-- I was just sitting on the side of a bank,
月亮出来了 and the moon was out,
还挺酷的 呃… and it was relatively cool and, um...
我只是在另一个风景中 I was just in another landscape.
我在开飞机 或者只是在飞 I'm flying a plane, or just flying,
或para-gliding, or para-gliding,
或者在热气球里 or in a hot air balloon,
或者迷失在太空中 就像在太空中遨游 or lost in space. Like, flinging through space.
这实际上是梦的前一部分 This is actually the earlier part of the dream,
更多的生物在哪里 where more of the creatures
——还在屋顶上 -嗯 -were still up on the, on the roof. -Uh-huh.
还有 呃 有几个像这样的类人机器人 And, uh, and there were a few humanoids like this,
虽然他们中的大多数 一般来说 although most of them were, generically,
事情是什么样的 what things looked like.
你为自己的缺乏兴趣而感到难过 You felt kind of badfor your lack of interest,
但也许这是有逻辑原因的 but maybe there'sa logical reason for it.
当有人向你描述一个梦 When someone describesa dream to you,
他们让你关心一些事情 they're asking you tocare about something
这从来没有发生过 that never actually happened.
你可以试着抓住小细节 You can try to grasponto little details
你可以感同身受 that you can relate to,
但为了欣赏它 but in order to appreciate it,
你需要愿意让自己沉浸其中 you need to be willingto immerse yourself
在幻想的世界里 in a fantasy world,
也许你不是那种人 and maybe that's just notthe kind of person you are.
在我小时候 Back when I was growing up,
我的朋友们经常玩《龙与地下城》 my friends would playDungeons and Dragonsall the time.
我一直想加入 但他们不让 I always wanted to join,but they wouldn't let me
因为他们说我不会认真对待 because they saidI wouldn't take it seriously.
我被逐出了天堂 I was ejected from paradise,
我完全拒绝幻想 and I completelyrejected fantasy
从那里开始 from there on out.
我开始只读关于真实事物的书籍 I started to only readbooks about real stuff
并痴迷于真实性 and became obsessedwith the authenticity
纪录片的电影制作 of documentary filmmaking.
我看小说的时候 When I watched fiction stuff,
我无法相信 I could neversuspend my disbelief
让自己完全沉浸在这个世界中 and fully immerse myselfin the world.
我甚至对梦境序列感到沮丧 I even got frustratedwhen dream sequences
会打断节目的情节 would interruptthe plot of a show,
尽管这是全部 even though it was all
一开始就完全是瞎编的 completely made upto begin with.
当其他人都去动漫展的时候 And while everyone elsewas going to Comic-Con,
我开始上法庭电视节目 I started goingon court TV shows to
填补留下的空白 fill the voidthat was left behind.
-好吧 约翰 你姓什么?威尔逊 -Okay, John, what is your last name? -Wilson.
-威尔逊 你多大了?-我16岁 -Mr. Wilson, how old are you? -I'm 16.
这种痴迷会持续到成年 This obsession lastedwell into adulthood,
但它开始产生负面影响 but it started to take a toll
在我的很多关系中 on a lot of my relationships.
威尔逊先生 你是摄像师? Mr. Wilson, you're a videographer?
-我是个自由制片人 -嗯, -I'm a freelance filmmaker. -Well,
自由制片人先生 你要起诉被告 Mr. Freelance Filmmaker, you're suing the defendant
2000美元 因为根据你的投诉 for $2,000 because, according to your complaint,
他雇你做一些自由电影制作 he hired you to do some freelance filmmaking,
-然后他没给你钱!-是的 -and then he didn't pay you! -Yeah.
这些年来我赢了几千美元 I won a few thousanddollars over the years,
但我所做的主要是 but mostly all I did was
让敌人 just make enemies.
我认为这是各地自由职业者的胜利 I think it's a victory for freelancers everywhere.
他只是想占我便宜 He was just trying to take advantage of me.
他只是想拿到那笔钱 All he was trying to do was get that money.
我觉得你这么说很蠢 I think that's a moronic thing to say.
我希望我能找到价值 And I kind of wishI could find value
在我们脑子里编出来的东西里 in the stuffwe make up in our heads.
但是 当你继续记录你的梦想时 But, as you continueto record your dreams,
他们只是…似乎更可怕了 they just...seem to get scarier.
而不是给你提供美好的想法 And instead of providingyou with nice thoughts
那根棍子整天跟着你 that stick with youthroughout the day,
每天晚上开始感觉就像 every eveningbegins to feel like
8小时噩梦 an eight-hour nightmare
你就是做不到 that you just can't
想办法关掉它 find a way to turn off.
有一天 当你离开你的梦想日记 And one day, when youleft your dream journal
打开在桌子上 on-- open on the table,
你的女朋友经过 your girlfriend walked by
读你做的关于前任的梦 and read about a dreamthat you had about an ex.
她很生气 She got really upset,
这引发了一场大争论 and it kind of ledto a big argument.
你告诉她这不重要 因为那不是真的 You told her it didn't matterbecause it wasn't real,
但她仍然有不同的感觉 but she still felt otherwise.
也许这不是个好主意 Maybe it's not a good idea
试着记住你的梦 to try to remember your dreams
因为一旦你把你的潜意识 because once you bringyour subconscious
进入现实世界 into the real world,
它会对你爱的人造成伤害 it could do real harmto someone you love.
也许你应该回到你的舒适区 And maybe you should justgo back to your comfort zone
在你造成更多伤害之前 before you doany more damage.
当你想放松的时候 Whenever you wanna relax,
你喜欢打开调幅收音机 you like to turn on AM radio.
您最喜欢的站点是1010 WINS Your favorite stationis 1010 WINS
因为这些都是事实 because it's all facts,all the time.
对于非小说爱好者来说 这感觉就像 And for nonfiction lovers,it can feel like
洗个热水澡 settling into a warm bath.

看到这个地方的运作很酷 It was cool to see howthe whole place functioned,
但不管你觉得这地方有多纯净 but no matter how pureyou thought this place was,

漫画店的人告诉你的 The guy fromthe comic store told you
他们有个活动 that they, um,were having an event
在市中心的一间会议室里 up at a conferenceroom in Midtown.
他们用电影里的一堆东西装饰了这个地方 They decorated the place witha bunch of stuff from the movie
或者受到它的启发 or maybe inspired by it.
