I dreamt that I was at home preparing food and remembered there was leftover macaroni and cheese. When I opened the fridge, there was only a little left. I thought to myself, "There should be more!" Since I had to go to work, I started getting ready, doing my makeup and changing clothes. Just then, my husband and daughter returned home. I asked them, "Isn't there more macaroni and cheese?" They opened the fridge and gave me some. I packed the macaroni and cheese in my clear lunch box without a lid and took it with me to the car. As I drove towards the office, the route felt familiar. Passing a certain point, I knew I needed to find parking. Since the parking lot was on the opposite lane, I drove to the left and made a big U-turn at a gap, knowing I had to quickly move right to enter the underground parking entrance. However, I didn't execute the U-turn well today and got stuck at the parking entrance. When I tried to reverse out to turn again towards the pedestrian entrance, a car that had been behind me suddenly cut from the side and moved ahead onto the sidewalk. I thought, "Why is this person driving like this?" We continued into the basement parking. After parking, I planned to take the elevator upstairs. We entered the elevator together, and he asked me which floor I was going to. I replied, "Seventh floor." Looking up at the mirror, I suddenly realized I had only done half my makeup—no eyebrows, no eyeshadow. Oh no! It must have been when I paused to get the macaroni and cheese, I forgot to finish my makeup. I thought I would quickly touch up my eyebrows once I got to the office. In the elevator, I continued looking at the mirror, feeling embarrassed. Accidentally, my glass lunch box fell on the floor. Because it had no lid, two pieces of square cheese fell out. I quickly picked them up and put them back in the lunch box. The elevator reached the fourth floor, someone got out, and then the elevator continued down. I thought, "Huh? Shouldn't it be going up?" The other person in the elevator told me, "This elevator has a problem. It was supposed to go to your seventh floor, but because someone got out in the middle, it thinks someone left, so now it's going down." The elevator reached the first floor, and I thought, "I'll press seven again." But somehow, I pressed six. The elevator went up, reached the fourth floor, and the door suddenly opened. I thought, "I need to quickly get out, or it might go down again later." I stepped out of the elevator, and the space felt like an industrial design. On the left was an open iron staircase going up. I climbed the stairs, turned twice, and reached the fifth floor. But there were no stairs to the seventh floor—I needed to go there! I saw some girls who seemed to be steaming lunch boxes, preparing for lunch. I wandered around the fifth floor, trying to figure out how to get to my seventh floor office. Then I overheard someone saying that yesterday was a holiday, and the building had a power outage. It turned out the security guard brought his family here because there was a large TV and no one else was here—they enjoyed watching movies. They used so much electricity that the company cut the power, and today they removed the TV. The man continued to say, "Because the location was free, he moved and then got a new computer screen from the company." I walked past him, still thinking, "How can I get to my office?" 夢見我在家要弄東西吃，想起有剩下的起司通心粉。打開冰箱，只看到一點點。我心想「應該還有啊！」因為我要上班，準備化妝換衣服，老公和女兒剛好從外面回來。我問他們「不是還有通心粉嗎？」他們打開冰箱，拿出通心粉給我。 我把起司通心粉裝在我的透明便當盒，沒蓋蓋子，就這樣子拿著上車了。 我開車往公司的路上，感覺這道路很熟悉。經過某定點，我知道我要準備找停車位。因為停車場在對方車道，我開車靠左，在一個缺口處，來個大迴轉。我知道要馬上靠右，切入地下停車場入口。 可是今天我大迴轉的角度沒有掌握好，卡在停車場入口處。當我倒車出來，想要再轉進人口的時候，原本排在我後面的車，突然從旁邊開上人行道，直接硬切到我的前面。 我心想「這個人怎麼這樣子開車？」我們繼續往地下室開。 我停好車子後，想說要坐電梯上樓。我們同時進電梯，他問我要去幾樓，我回說「七樓。」抬起頭看著鏡子，突然發現我臉上的妝只畫了一半，眉毛、眼影都沒畫。天啊！一定是出門時等起司通心粉，一分心忘了把妝化完。心想待會我進到公司後，趕快補一下眉毛好了。 在電梯我繼續照著鏡子，覺得實在很不好意思。一不小心，我的玻璃便當盒掉在地上。因為沒有蓋蓋子，掉出兩塊方形的奶油。我趕快撿起來，放進便當盒裡。 電梯到四樓，有人出去，接著電梯往下。我心想「欸？它不是應該要上樓嗎？」電梯裡的另外一個人跟我說「這電梯有問題，本來應該要到你要的七樓，可是因為中間有人出去，它認為有人出去，就變成往下了。」 電梯到了一樓，我心想「那我要再按一次七樓。」可是不知為何，我按成六樓。電梯往上走，到了四樓，門又突然打開。我心想「那我得趕快出去，不然它待會又要往下了。」 我走出電梯，這空間像是工業風的設計，左側有個開放往上的鐵製樓梯。我走上樓梯，轉了兩轉，來到五樓。可是這樓梯到五樓就沒了，但我是要去七樓啊！ 我看到幾個女生，他們好像要去蒸便當，準備吃午餐。我在五樓到處走，一直想要怎麼樣才能到我的七樓呢？ 然後我聽到有人講，昨天是假日，大樓停電。原來是大樓警衛帶著家人小孩來值勤，因為這裡有大電視，又沒有其他人在，他們全家在這裡用大電視爽看電影。因為用電太多，公司就把電停了，今天就把電視撤走了。 那人繼續說「因為電視位置空出來，他換到那裡坐，公司還配了他一部新的電腦螢幕。」 我從他旁邊走過。我還是在想「我要怎麼樣才能走到我的辦公室呢？」

I dreamed that I was involved in a laboratory project in collaboration with scientists from mainland China. Then, a female scientist was sent by the higher-ups from the mainland to our lab to introduce a new system. The meeting was held in a room surrounded by transparent glass walls. I noticed that everyone, including myself, was wearing white lab coats as we entered the room. The female scientist, dressed in a red lightweight sweater, stood outside the door and asked me if she could enter wearing red. I told her, “Of course you can!” Inside the room, there were long wooden benches arranged similarly to those in Western churches. The female scientist was preparing to demonstrate the new system. She chose a seat near the wall and placed her laptop on the bench. Concerned that she might block others’ view, she crouched down while operating the system. Standing beside her, I also crouched down to avoid obstructing the view of those behind me. I wondered, "Why did she choose a spot near the wall? That way, only people behind her on one side would be able to see the demonstration!" A tall scientist entered the room late and had to stand at the back. I asked him if he could see the screen, and he replied that he could, but barely. In the end, the female scientist and I remained crouched in the front while a large group of people stood behind us. I felt an overwhelming sense of pressure. I wanted to stand up, but if I did, I would block the view of the people behind me. I couldn’t help but think, "Why is she crouching in the corner like this to conduct the demonstration? This setup is making a lot of people feel uncomfortable!" 夢見我好像參與一個和大陸科學家合作的實驗室專案裡面。然後大陸上級派來一個女科學家，來到我們實驗室，要來講解新系統的使用。 會議安排在一個四面都是透明玻璃的房間裡。我發現我跟其他人，都穿著像是實驗室的白色袍子，一起進入房間裡。女科學家穿著紅色薄毛衣，站在門外，問我說她穿紅色可以進來嗎？我說當然可以啊！ 房間內排列著像是國外教會那種長條式的木椅。女科學家要示範新系統給我們看，她找了個靠牆的座位，把她的電腦放在椅子上。她怕擋到其他人視線，蹲下來操作系統示範。我在她旁邊，為了不想擋到後面人的視線，我也跟著蹲下來。 我心想：她為何要找靠牆的位子？這樣只有另一邊後方可以站人看操作啊！ 我看到一個高大的科學家進來，因為他太晚進來，只能站到後面的位置。我問他看得到畫面嗎？他說看得到，但很勉強。 總之，我和女科學家都蹲在前面，後面站著一堆人。這讓我覺得壓迫感好重喔！我其實想站起來，可是如果我站起來，就會擋到後面的人，他們就看不到畫面了。 我不禁想：她為什麼要蹲在角落，這樣子示範教學呢？這方式讓許多人都有很壓迫的感覺啊！

In my dream, I was reflecting on how many people misunderstand dreams, believing them to be illusory and impractical. I wanted to post on Facebook and other platforms to explain that dreams actually have a scientific basis. However, no matter how much I tried to explain these theoretical concepts in the dream, some people remained stubbornly resistant to change, clinging to outdated beliefs. I couldn't help but think: the world seems to be divided into two types of people—those who are open-minded and those who are narrow-minded. When speaking to open-minded individuals, they can consider and accept new ideas. But with narrow-minded people, no amount of explanation makes a difference; it's a waste of effort. In the dream, I told myself that I should gather more information and share it on various platforms to support and validate these theories. But then, I reminded myself once again—some people believe the world revolves around them, and there's no point in trying to change their minds. It's better to just let them live in their own world. 我在夢裡反思，主要是很多人對夢境有誤解，覺得它虛幻、不實際。我想要在 Facebook 與一些平台貼文，來說明夢境其實是有學理根據。 可是在夢裡無論我如何解釋這些學理概念，有些人的觀念就是食古不化，冥頑不靈。 在夢裡我不禁思考：世界上就是分這兩種人，一種是 Open-minded，另一種就是 Narrow-minded。和思想開明的人說明，他可以思考與接受新觀念；但和思想狹隘的人解釋再多其實也無用，就不用講太多，也是白費力氣。 夢裡我告訴自己，應該要去找更多資料分享在平台上，來支持佐證這些理論。不過在夢裡我又再次提醒自己，有些人以為全世界都是繞著他們轉，就不用花時間繼續解釋，因為無法改變他們的想法，就讓他們活在他們的世界好了…
