Your dream seems to blend contrasts—flood and abundance, authenticity and imitation, closeness and separation—suggesting a complex relationship with boundaries, compassion, and skepticism. The two cities divided by a wall could represent contrasting aspects of yourself or your life: one side is safe and flourishing, while the other is struggling and needs help. This division may reflect an internal tension or concern for a part of you (or others around you) that needs support but feels separated or isolated. The shopping and conversation with your colleague around genuine versus counterfeit items might relate to uncertainty or doubt about authenticity. It could indicate a situation where appearances are deceiving or where you feel unsure about what’s real or trustworthy, echoing your colleague's suggestion not to "fall for it" when you find the message from the flooded city. This part of the dream could be about navigating social expectations, appearances, and sincerity in your relationships or work. The encounter with the car following you hints at feeling pressured or pursued by something. Perhaps there’s a challenge or responsibility pushing you to act quickly, even when you feel reluctant. Your choice to stand your ground and walk down the middle of the road shows resilience and perhaps a decision to face a difficult situation head-on, even if it makes you uncomfortable. When you discover the message asking for clean water, it brings out a compassionate, giving side of you, suggesting an inner desire to help or connect with others, especially those who seem distant or in need. The warnings of your colleague to "not fall for it" highlight the balance you’re trying to find between trust and caution, generosity and self-preservation. The music and the reappearance of the young woman at the end symbolize hope and restoration. Hearing the harmonious song and recognizing its rarity may reflect a longing for peace, authenticity, or a simpler time. Returning to the dream and seeing the playful young woman from the neighboring city signals renewal and resilience; things that were once difficult (like the flood) might now be returning to normal. Overall, this dream seems to explore themes of compassion, cautious optimism, and the effort to bridge divides—whether between different parts of yourself, different people, or different situations. It encourages you to stay true to your values, maintain healthy boundaries, and trust your instincts as you navigate these choices. 夢見我在一個城市，我們和另一個城市 (好像叫河口) 只有一牆之隔，他們在淹水，而我們這邊繁華如常。 下班後，我跟一位女同事去逛街。我們來到一條路上，有許多名牌店，也有不少路邊攤位。我問同事是否曾逛過這些路邊攤。 她說逛過，他們賣的商品看起來都是名牌，但她搞不清楚是正品還是仿冒品。我跟她說我也這麼覺得。我提到上次在這裡就碰到一個賣包包的，他跟我說我喜歡的那個皮包，是從百貨公司出來的貨。因為有一點狀況，所以他拿到的價格很便宜，而且這是唯一一個。我覺得價格好吸引人喔！反正我跟同事就在那裡講。 然後我們要過馬路。不知道為什麼，過了馬路後，就有一輛車跟在我們後面。這條路沒有人行道，我們靠邊走，但是那個車就是一直跟在我們後面。 我開始小跑步，但這車跟的很緊，好像就是一直在逼我走快點。後來我就火大了，乾脆走在馬路中間。這是一條雙向車道，走在路中間我也有點害怕，但就是想這樣可以讓他先走。 我和同事繼續走，來到一個岔路。我看到路上有個塑膠碎片，上面有字，我把它撿起來。這小碎片是來自和我們一牆之隔，正在淹水的城市。上面是說如果我們看到這訊息，可不可以給他們一些乾淨的水。因為他們那邊正在淹水，所以沒有乾淨的水。 同事跟我說不要上當了，那是騙人的。我說可是他們那邊正在淹水，沒有乾淨水聽來也蠻合理的。而且寶特瓶裝水對我們來講很便宜，實在也花不了什麼錢。 我說我過去也曾經看過類似這樣的訊息，我都會把一些東西丟到牆的另一邊給他們。我跟同事說我會去做這事，因為瓶裝水真的也沒有多少錢。 然後我突然聽到「原野三重唱」在唱「在那遙遠的地方」我心裡想：「哇！想不到還能聽到這種合唱，真的好好聽喔！好像現在已經聽不到這種音樂了。」睡夢中還跟著哼唱，就醒了。 然後我再繼續睡，又回到這個夢裡。我看到一個小姐姐，她是隔壁城市過來的。她留著妹妹頭，看來很俏皮，還穿著洞洞裝。我看到她，心想他們應該是水退了，所以也恢復一般生活運作。

I dreamed that we had a small cabin. For some reason, a whole bunch of former high school classmates showed up at our place, like it was a reunion, but I didn’t actually know any of them. Since our place was small, it was packed with people everywhere. I noticed my desk had books and makeup on it, as if someone was saving the spot. But nobody was around, and it was inconvenient because I needed the desk to write on my computer. In the kitchen, I saw my husband. He’d made a bowl of instant noodles and placed three pieces of bread beside it, then went straight back to the bedroom to sleep. I thought, “Did he forget to eat again?” Back in the study, I noticed a fancy-looking lady trying to do her makeup, complaining that my desk was too small for her. I told her, for me, all I need is a desk and a computer, and I can get a lot done. I don’t need a big space to be productive. She looked surprised and said, “What? She needs a huge area just to work!” I explained that now many files can be stored on the cloud or computer, so I don’t need printed copies cluttering up the space. For me, just a small desk and a computer are enough for researching, writing, and doing so much in the vast sea of information online. I saw that the lady had left sticky residue on my desk from her makeup, so I wiped it off with a tissue, trying to clean it. Later, my husband and I made the bed together. I noticed one classmate’s bed looked like a giant trampoline. She was jumping on it, doing flips like a gymnast, while live-streaming on her phone for her online audience. Finally, I saw a familiar face, my friend Iris. I asked her why she was in the U.S., and she said her sister and brother-in-law had been assigned here for work, so she was staying with them. She still liked sharing her feelings on Facebook, and I’d noticed her posts had shown she was in the U.S., so seeing her today wasn’t a big surprise. In the end, our house was just filled with high school classmates I didn’t know. 夢見我們有個小木屋。不知為何，一大堆高中同校同學來到我們家，像是聚會，可是我並不認識他們。 因為我們家不大，擠的到處都是人。我注意到我的書桌，有人放了一些書和化妝品，像是佔位子。可是又沒見到人，我需要用電腦桌來寫文章也不方便。 我來到廚房看到老公，他泡了一碗泡麵，還放了三個麵包在旁邊，然後我看他直接回房間去睡覺了。我心想：「欸？他又忘記吃了嗎？」 我回到書房，看到一個貴婦太太想要化妝，然後嫌棄我的書桌位子太小。 我跟她說，對我而言，我只需要一張桌子和一部電腦，就可以處理很多事情，我並不需要大空間才能辦事。這位太太驚訝地說：「什麼？她都需要好大的位置，才能做事。」 我說現在很多檔案都可以儲存在雲端或電腦裡，真的不需要印出來佔空間。所以對我來講，真的就是一張小桌子，一部電腦，我就可以在浩瀚的網海中，找資料、寫文章，做好多事情。 我看到這位太太剛才在我桌上化妝時，還把我的書桌弄得黏答答的。我拿了張衛生紙擦拭，想把髒污刮掉。 後來我跟老公幫忙一起鋪床。我看到有個同學的床像是大型彈跳床，她在上面跳啊跳，還拿著手機直播。她還蠻厲害的，可以像體操選手那樣翻身跳，直播給線上網友看。 我看到同學 Iris，總算有個熟人。我問她怎麼會來美國，她說她姊姊和姊夫被外派到美國工作，她過來跟他們住。她還是一樣喜歡在 Facebook 上抒發心情，但我有注意到她的內容顯示出她人在美國，所以今天看到她也不太意外。 總之，就是一堆不認識的高中同校同學在我們家。

I dreamed I could write poetry and lyrics, and I was competing in poetry with the "eldest prince," who wasn’t particularly favored. The theme of the competition was related to metaphors in the subconscious. The key idea was that our subconscious can limit our perspectives, and we need to break free from this constraint, practicing different ways of thinking instead of following the crowd. Essentially, it was about developing independent thinking, unaffected by external influences. In the dream, I felt like a philosopher, effortlessly expressing unique perspectives whether I was creating or debating various theories. I surprised even myself with this ability. I thought to myself: my educational background and life experiences had nothing to do with the competition’s theme, and I hadn’t read the relevant literature. Yet, I could eloquently express unique ideas and theories related to these topics and even expand on them. Later, the government awarded me a special position where I could continue to develop these skills. I was thrilled that someone finally appreciated and understood my abilities, giving me a real opportunity to shine in my area of expertise. In that moment, I had a realization: no matter how capable I am, doing work I’m not suited for will never gain me recognition. A boss only values the skills they need, so even if my overall capabilities far exceed others, if they don’t align with what the boss is looking for, they’re irrelevant. Then, the scene shifted, and I arrived at an unfamiliar place to park. In the dream, I kept reminding myself to try thinking differently, to break out of my comfort zone and habits. This idea of thinking independently kept repeating throughout the dream. 夢見我會寫詩作詞，我跟不受寵的 "大阿哥" 在比賽詩詞。 比賽題目跟潛意識的比喻有關。重點就是潛意識會侷限我們對事情的看法，而我們就是要跳脫這個框架，練習用不同面向思考，而不是隨著大眾人云亦云。總之就是要練習獨立思考，不受外在影響。 然後我像個哲學家，如行雲流水般，在夢裡不論是創作還是各種理論的爭辯，都能夠把我獨特的觀點想法講出來，連我自己都嚇一跳，怎麼會有這能力。 我心想：我的教育背景和生活環境，都和比賽的題目無關，而且也沒閱讀過這些書籍，但我就是能夠滔滔不絕根據這些題目，講出我獨特的想法與理論，而且還可以將題目延伸。 後來政府還給了我一個特別的職位，讓我繼續發揮，我感到很高興，終於有人懂得欣賞或是理解我的能力，而且我有機會可以好好發揮，因為這是我的專長。 當下我有種領悟，即使我再有能力，但勉強去做不是我擅長的低階工作，是不可能受到重視的。因為老闆只覺得你的這些其他能力跟他無關，他不過只是要他所需要的能力的人。所以雖然我的整體能力遠超過其他人，但和老闆要求的重點不同，我的這些其他技能對他來講根本不重要，再厲害也沒用。 然後場景切換到我到了一個地方要停車，這個地點也不是我熟悉的地點。我在夢裡仍是不斷告訴自己：要嘗試用不同的思維，跳出舒適圈，打破自己的習慣。 總之這個想法，在夢裡就是不斷重複。
