I dreamed that I was in a teahouse from the early Republican era, dressed in traditional fengxian attire, having a meal with a young man. I felt like he might like me because he was very attentive and considerate in hosting me. The teahouse was extravagant and packed with people. The young man seemed about 28 years old. I thought to myself, "Wow! He's so young!" But I couldn't figure out why he would like me. My child came over to join us for a brief chat and mentioned being 26 years old. At that moment, it hit me, "What? Am I really that old?" But I didn't feel old at all! Then I thought, "So this young man should probably be interested in someone my child's age, not me. He shouldn't like me; he should like my child." I felt a little embarrassed by my moment of self-delusion and concluded that he must be interested in someone from my child's generation. After my child left, however, the young man seemed genuinely happy to have the chance to dine and chat with me alone. Later, his family joined us. One woman in particular seemed somewhat hostile toward me at first, repeatedly questioning how we knew each other. But I got the sense she recognized me because she kept talking about her current situation and asking for my advice and opinions. I wasn’t entirely sure what role I played in this dream. I felt like I was a wise woman of some kind. 夢見我像是在一個民初時代的酒樓，穿著鳳仙裝，跟一位年輕男子吃飯。我覺得他好像喜歡我，因為他很體貼在招待我。 這是一間華麗的酒樓，座無虛席。這男生很年輕，好像 28 歲。我心想「哇！好年輕喔！」可是我不知道他為什麼喜歡我。 我的孩子過來找我，和我們聊了一下。孩子說他 26 歲，此時我突然驚覺「蛤？我這麼老了？」可是我並沒有覺得自己很老啊！ 我接著想：「所以這個男生應該是喜歡我小孩這個歲數的人才對。他不應該喜歡我，應該是喜歡我的孩子。」當下我為我的自作多情感到有點尷尬，認定他應該是喜歡我小孩那一輩的人才對。 後來我的孩子離開，可是我覺得這男生看來好像很開心，因為他可以單獨跟我吃飯聊天。 接著他家人來了，加入我們。我覺得那個女人一開始對我還有些敵意，不停追問我們是怎麼認識的。但我覺得她好像認識我，因為她一直跟我聊說她目前的狀況，問我的意見和看法。 我不是很清楚我在夢裡是什麼樣的角色，感覺像是一個有智慧的女人吧！

I dreamt that my younger brother was driving, and I was in the car. It was a rainy day, and we were on the highway. For some reason, my brother was in a rush and driving really fast. Suddenly, the car skidded, spun around, and half of it went past the guardrail, leaving us dangling over a cliff. I saw that my side of the car was hanging in mid-air, with nothing beneath us. I thought, "Oh no, this is it. I'm probably going to fall." But then, the car kept spinning and miraculously ended up back on the highway. I thought, "Wow, we really just cheated death!" When the car finally stopped, I was still shaken and said to my brother, "The way you’re driving is terrifying! I thought I was done for!" He admitted that he thought the same. I was just grateful we were still alive. I told my brother that he couldn’t drive like that and needed to be more careful. He agreed and said he was truly scared to death just moments ago. 夢見弟弟開車，我在車內。 下雨天我們來到高速公路上。不知弟弟是在趕什麼，車子開很快。突然間，車子打滑，在高速公路上轉了一圈，半個車衝過欄杆，下面是懸崖。 我看到我這一頭臨空，下方是空的，不在地面上，心想「哇靠，這下死定了，我大概就要掉下去了。」 沒想到車子繼續打轉，竟然轉回高速公路上。我心想「哇！大難不死！」 車子終於停下來。我驚魂未定跟弟弟說：「你這樣子開車太恐怖了，我以為我死定了！」他說他也以為他死定了。 我想說還好我們還活著。我跟弟弟說車子不能那樣開，要很小心！他說他知道，他剛剛真的快嚇死了。

I dreamed of seeing a little boy who refused to sleep, while his father was trying to soothe him to sleep. The boy's room was designed like a comic-style space capsule environment. The father held a comic-style egg in his hand and made a "hiss hiss hiss" sound, pretending the egg was a control button. He moved it in an arc through the air and slowly placed it in the boy's right hand. When the boy held the egg, the father's "hiss hiss" sound softened. As the boy's eyes began to close slightly, the father's "hiss hiss" sound grew louder as he deliberately moved the egg to the boy's left hand, as if to reassure him. Then the father started making "hmm hmm hmm" sounds, seemingly to let the boy know he still had control. Gradually, the little boy drifted off to sleep. I watched from the side, observing how the father tailored his actions to suit the boy's psychology, using a combination of techniques and sound effects to lull him to sleep. The entire room, with its comic-style space capsule design and depictions of the universe and planets, felt very cute and thoughtfully arranged. 夢見我看到小男孩不肯睡，他的爸爸在哄他睡覺。 小孩房間弄得像是漫畫版的太空艙環境。這位爸爸拿著一個像是漫畫版的雞蛋，口中發出 "嘶嘶嘶" 的聲音，他把這個雞蛋當作是操作按鈕，在空中弧線繞飛，慢慢把這個雞蛋放到小男孩的右手。 當小男孩握住雞蛋的時候，爸爸的 "嘶嘶" 聲變小。小男孩眼睛稍閉時，這爸爸的 "嘶嘶" 聲變大，故意把雞蛋移到小男孩左手，好像這樣子小孩子就會覺得放心。接著這爸爸發出 "嗯嗯嗯" 聲，好像這會讓小男孩知道他還有控制權。漸漸地，小男孩慢慢睡著了。 我在旁邊看著這個爸爸配合小孩子的心理，運用各種技巧動作，搭配音效來哄睡。而且整個房間就像是簡單漫畫版的太空艙，還有宇宙與星球，覺得蠻可愛，也很用心。
