I dreamt that I and another class were organizing an event outside of school to discuss life and death. As the event went on into the evening, I and the students gathered around a campfire, enjoying drinks and merriment.
At one point, a male classmate arrived, and for some reason, I took him around the campsite to a small room where I mentioned a past incident of someone hanging themselves here, showing him some details. Afterward, I returned to the campfire with the students to continue our festivities.
A female teacher arrived and asked when I learned to drink. In the dream, I told her it was during middle school when our math teacher, heartbroken, threw a party inviting us and students from the next class to drink together. I mentioned it was my first experience with alcohol. The teacher thought it wasn't bad since it provided a safe environment for students to experience drinking. I said, "Yeah, that's when I first realized what drinking was like. After the party, our parents came to pick us up directly."
Later, I went back to the small room where the past incident occurred and saw someone dressed in white, mimicking the previous suicide case by hanging themselves. I thought, "Oh no, this is bad, something's gone wrong!"
As I stood there in shock, the male classmate I introduced around earlier came in. I saw him holding funeral clothes and sackcloth, and I asked, "What? Are you planning to commit suicide here?" He said yes. I told him, "You're too late, someone already beat you to it." I urged him, "Please don't do this!" Eventually, I asked him to help me bring the person down and hand over the clothes he brought. I needed to handle the situation of the previous suicide attempt.
As it was getting close to time, I began preparing to leave, asking everyone to start cleaning up the area. I walked into another room where the male classmate who had contemplated suicide was lying down, saying he didn't want to move. I said, "Okay, you can simulate the feeling of suicide, and I'll pretend to handle your belongings later. Experiencing this might make you not want to commit suicide." Later, he lay there, and I helped him remove his clothes but worried he might get cold, so I covered him with a blanket. At that moment, another male classmate, drunk, appeared beside him. I woke him up and asked for help in cleaning up the area because we were preparing to leave the camp.
I noticed the classmate who had thought about suicide was curled up, seemingly feeling cold. I covered him with a blanket to keep him warm, thinking at least he wouldn't be cold. Later, I heard him crying, perhaps realizing the value of being alive through this experience.
Overall, I felt so busy in the dream! I was constantly moving between the campsite and the rooms, urging everyone to quickly clean up. Standing on a stone-made podium, I saw a chubby male student in a green tight suit playfully chasing people. I thought to myself, despite already calling for everyone to gather, these people were still acting crazy with alcohol, not packing up quickly enough. There was only half an hour left before we had to leave the campsite.
夢見我和另外一個班級,在校外辦一個談論生死的活動。活動到了晚上,我跟學員們聚在營火前飲酒作樂。
此時來了一位男同學,不知為何,我帶著他在營區裡繞,來到一個小房間,我提起過去這裡曾經發生有人上吊自殺的事件,並給他看一些細節。講完後,我回到前面營火那裡,跟學員們繼續飲酒作樂。
來了一位女老師,問我何時學會喝酒。夢裡我跟她說是我們國中數學老師因為她失戀了,就辦了一個派對,召集了我們跟隔壁班同學來參加,大家一起喝酒。我說那是我第一次喝酒體驗。
女老師認為這樣子也不錯,因為至少是一個安全的環境,然後又可以讓同學有機會來體驗喝酒的經驗。我說「對啊~那時候才知道原來喝酒是這樣的滋味。而且派對後家長直接來接走我們。」總之,那個女老師覺得這樣子的體驗,好像其實還不錯。
然後我走回後面那間過去發生事件的小房間,竟然看到有人穿著白色衣服,模仿過去的案例,上吊自殺了。我心想「天啊!這下慘了,出事了!」
當我站在那裡發呆的時候,之前我帶著在營區介紹的男同學也進來,我看他拿著壽衣和麻布衣,我問「什麼?你是準備來這裡自殺嗎?」他說對。我跟他說「你晚了一步,已經有人先走一步了。」我勸他「你不要這樣子啦!」後來我就請他幫我把那個人弄下來,還叫他把帶來的衣服給我,我要來處理前面輕生者的事情。
時間差不多了,準備集合離開。我請大家開始收拾整理場地。
我走到另外一個房間,剛剛想要自殺的男同學躺在那裡,說他不想動。我說「好,你可以模擬一下自殺的感覺,待會我會假裝來處理你身上的遺物。因為當你有這樣子的體驗,可能就不會想要自殺了。」
後來這同學就躺在那裡,我幫他把身上的衣物解除。可是又擔心他會冷到,就幫他蓋了一個毯子。這時候,他旁邊又多了一個喝醉酒的男同學。我把這個醉酒的男同學叫醒,要他幫忙整理場地,因為我們要準備集合,離開這裡。
我看到那個想自殺的男同學,身體彎曲,看來可能覺得有點冷。我用被子包住他,想說至少他不會冷到。後來我聽到他在哭,大概就是這樣體驗下來,他發現活著的可貴吧!
總之我覺得我好忙喔!我在營地前後往返,催促大家要趕快打掃整理場地。我站在一個石頭搭成的講枱上,看到一個胖胖的男生,穿著綠色緊身衣,像是搞笑般追著人跑。我心想我都已經喊著要集合了,這些人還在發酒瘋胡鬧,不趕快收拾東西,還剩半個小時,我們要準備離開營地了。

這個夢境充滿了豐富的象徵與原型,從榮格心理學的角度可以進行多層次的解析。以下是我的分析:
1. 生死議題的集體無意識顯現
夢中「談論生死的活動」和「上吊自殺的房間」直接觸及生命與死亡的對立統一,這可能反映夢者正在面對潛意識中對「存在意義」的探索。榮格認為,死亡在夢中常象徵「心理轉化」,而自殺場景可能暗示某部分舊有心理結構需要被「終結」以促成新生。
營火的意象具有雙重性:既是聚集與溫暖的象徵(意識的照亮),也暗示未被覺察的陰影(夜晚的黑暗)。飲酒作樂的場景可能代表暫時逃避對死亡的焦慮,或試圖以狂歡平衡對死亡的恐懼。
2. 阿尼姆斯(男性面向)的投射與陰影整合
夢中兩位男同學(一位模仿自殺、一位準備自殺)可視為夢者內在「阿尼姆斯」(女性潛意識中的男性面向)的具象化。他們的自我毀滅傾向,可能反映夢者理性層面未被整合的攻擊性或對生命的消極態度。
值得注意的是,夢者主動勸阻自殺並「處理遺物」,顯示自我(ego)正在嘗試整合這些危險的陰影內容。最後男同學因體驗寒冷而哭泣醒悟,暗示通過「身體感受」(與情感連結)可轉化理性層面的毀滅衝動。
3. 權威原型(女老師)與初次飲酒記憶
女老師的出現與國中數學老師的回憶,涉及「權威原型」的影響。夢中飲酒被賦予「安全環境中的初次體驗」意義,可能反映夢者對「突破禁忌」(如接觸危險知識或情感)的矛盾態度:既渴望探索,又需權威背書以減輕罪惡感。
這段情節也暗示「儀式性過渡」(rite of passage)的主題,飲酒作為成人禮的象徵,與夢中生死討論形成隱喻層面的呼應——二者皆涉及「意識邊界的改變」。
4. 心理自救的象徵性儀式
夢者讓男同學「模擬自殺」再親自處理後事,是一場極具榮格特色的「主動想像」(active imagination)。這過程實則展現個體如何通過「儀式化重演」創傷來實現自我療癒:
解除衣物:剝離舊有身份認同
覆蓋毯子:提供心理保護
哭泣轉化:情感宣泄導致認知重構
這種「扮演死亡後重生」的模式,與榮格分析中常見的「治癒性象徵」高度一致。
5. 末段的混亂與時間壓力
夢境結尾的匆忙收拾、發酒瘋的綠衣胖子,反映夢者意識層面對潛意識探索的焦慮。「剩半小時離開」可能暗示現實中對處理內在議題的時間緊迫感。
綠色緊身衣的滑稽形象,可能是「小丑原型」的出現,榮格認為這類意象常提醒我們勿過度嚴肅看待心理衝突。
總結與建議
此夢揭露夢者潛意識中正進行深刻的生死觀重整,並試圖整合具有破壞性的阿尼姆斯能量。自殺場景的「重演與解決」顯示自我具有強大的調節能力,而飲酒記憶的浮現則暗示可從「安全環境中的冒險經驗」汲取力量。
建議夢者可:
記錄近期對生命意義的思考
關注現實中是否過度壓抑憤怒或絕望感
嘗試透過藝術表達(如繪畫、寫作)進一步消化夢中意象
注意「冷」與「溫暖」的體感隱喻,這可能指向需要更多情感滋養的領域
夢最終指向「通過直面死亡焦慮來更熱烈地擁抱生命」,這正是榮格所說的「陰影工作」的核心價值。
這個夢境包含與死亡、重生、責任和個人轉變相關的強烈象徵元素。以下是基於榮格心理學的解釋:
1. 核心主題和符號
營地裡的生死討論
討論生與死的事件,暗示了對存在主義主題的深刻思考。營地環境象徵著一個臨時,但具有變革性的空間,代表你正在處理一些深刻事物的閾限階段 (意指通過儀式三階段(分離、閾限、重聚)的中間階段,相對於第一階段和第三階段的明確,閾限狀態是曖昧不明、充滿不確定性的階段。)。
飲酒與中學聚會
夢中的酒精,通常代表意識狀態的改變、壓抑的釋放或社會連結。你回憶起在受控環境中的第一次飲酒經歷,這可能象徵著自我探索、同儕影響的早期經歷,或對「成人」經歷的結構化介紹。
老師對這段經歷的認可,表明了對安全與不安全地接觸生活現實的反思——這種對比後來在夢中其他人危險的自殺模仿中顯現出來。
自殺室和模仿死亡
曾經有人自殺的小房間是一個「陰影」空間——一個壓抑的恐懼、過去的創傷,或未解決的情緒負擔的儲存庫。目睹某人重演過去的悲劇,表明某些循環或情感創傷,正在你的潛意識中重複出現。
你將一位同學帶入這個空間的事實,可能表明潛意識邀請你面對和處理過去的情緒負擔。然而,另一個人意外地重演了自殺事件,這讓人們意識到未經處理的創傷,可能會以新的、令人不安的方式表現出來。
干預與責任
你沒有被動地做出反應,而是積極地介入──說服有自殺傾向的同學不要這麼做,甚至為他模擬自殺經驗。這一行為表明了一種從內到外理解絕望、處理它,並最終治癒它的強烈願望。它也暗示了「受傷的治療者」的原型,即遭遇痛苦後,試圖幫助他人避免同樣命運的人。
醉酒混亂與維持秩序的掙扎
當夢境走向清理和離開階段時,你會被他人的不負責任和混亂所壓倒。穿著綠衣的胖子追人,增添了一種滑稽而又超現實的元素——也許代表了人性中,即使在嚴峻的情況下,也仍然存在的非理性,或不可預測的方面。
你在試圖讓人們組織和清理時遇到的挫折感,反映了個人的責任負擔——一種在冷漠、粗心或迷失於分心的世界中,唯一關心維持秩序的人的感覺。
2. 榮格分析與心理暗示
陰影與死亡焦慮
榮格心理學中的「陰影」代表了自我被壓抑或未被承認的面向。在這裡,「自殺室」象徵著與潛意識的一部分的相遇,潛意識中存在著過去的創傷、悲傷或存在的恐懼。
透過強迫有自殺傾向的同學,以可控的方式「體驗」死亡,你試圖重新定義痛苦——暗示潛意識努力處理深刻的情感創傷,並重新定義痛苦、失落和生存的意義。
個性化和角色指導
你扮演領導者的角色,引導他人度過情緒動盪,並在混亂的環境中保持控制。這顯示一個持續的「個人化過程」,你努力平衡個人成長、責任,和他人的不可預測性。
即使在內外混亂的情況下,承擔責任、幫助他人處理悲傷、促進有序離開的行為,也反映了成熟的心理立場。
3. 現實生活中可能的聯繫
處理過去的經驗:這個夢境可能反映了過去遇到的主題,如失落、責任,或因他人的掙扎而感到不知所措。
作為幫助者或治療者的角色:你可能自然地承擔指導他人的角色,即使以個人為代價。
對混亂和缺乏控制的挫折感:讓他人遵循指示,並準備離開的困難,可能反映了現實生活中,對他人無組織、不負責任或情感不成熟的挫敗感。
害怕被壓垮:營火、自殺現場和出發準備之間的無情移動,可能反映了現實生活中,因承擔太多責任或情感負擔,而感到的疲憊。
4 結論與反思
這個夢境代表了對生命、死亡、責任和轉變等主題的深入參與。你在幫助他人處理創傷方面所扮演的積極角色,表明潛意識中渴望引導、治癒,或恢復情緒混亂的秩序。
然而,壓倒性的責任感和讓他人遵守指示的挫折感,可能表明需要個人界線、自我照顧,以及重新評估一個人對他人的福祉承擔多少責任。
也許這個夢境不僅僅是試圖「控制」環境,而是邀請做你反思自己的極限,並在指導他人和維護自己的和平之間,找到平衡。
Here are four alternate endings to your dream, each focusing on a different theme—healing, transformation, self-realization, and collective strength—while maintaining the Jungian psychological approach you prefer.
1. The Healing Ending: Turning Darkness into Light
As you stand in the room where someone has mimicked a past suicide, you suddenly feel a shift in the air. The campfire outside flickers, casting a soft glow through the window. Instead of panic, you take a deep breath and walk toward the figure in white.
You reach out and say, "This room has carried pain for too long. Let’s change that." Slowly, the figure lowers themselves, as if waking from a trance. The classmate who was about to take his own life watches in silence, his hands trembling over the funeral clothes he brought.
You turn to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Pain repeats itself when we don’t acknowledge it. But we don’t have to carry this alone."
Instead of simulating death, you guide him outside to the campfire. The other students stop their chaotic drinking, sensing a shift in the night’s energy. One by one, they place their fears, regrets, and burdens into the flames—writing them on paper, whispering them into the embers, letting them go.
By dawn, the once-dark room is transformed into a space of remembrance, not despair. Instead of carrying the past’s tragedy, it now holds the promise of healing.
2. The Transformation Ending: Rewriting the Story
As you look at the classmate lying in the suicide room, you suddenly see two versions of reality overlaying each other—one where the room remains a place of sorrow, and one where it becomes something entirely new.
Realizing you have the power to shift the narrative, you say, "Enough. This place has been haunted by the past for too long. Let’s make it something else."
You gather the students and turn the room into an art space—a place where everyone expresses their fears through writing, painting, or music. The once-dark walls are filled with drawings of new beginnings, messages of hope, and symbols of personal strength.
The classmate who wanted to die picks up a piece of chalk and, for the first time, draws something—a small sun in the corner of the room. He looks at you and whispers, "I don’t want to die. I just didn’t know how to live."
Together, you step out into the morning light. The past is rewritten, not erased, and the room is no longer a grave but a place of creation.
3. The Self-Realization Ending: Facing the Inner Shadow
As you tell the suicidal classmate, "You’re too late—someone already went ahead of you," he looks at you with a strange intensity and asks, "And what about you?"
The question lingers in the air, heavy with unspoken meaning.
Suddenly, you realize that this dream isn’t about saving others—it’s about confronting something within yourself.
The students, the camp, the endless movement between places—they are all fragments of your psyche, playing out the tension between control and surrender, between survival and exhaustion.
You step back, looking around. The campfire burns brighter, illuminating the chaos—the drunk students, the boy in the green suit running wildly, the room of past tragedies.
But now, you see it differently. You aren’t just the one keeping everything in order. You are also the one caught in the endless cycle of fixing, saving, and carrying burdens.
Taking a deep breath, you make a different choice.
Instead of forcing order, you sit by the fire. The dream shifts. The night sky clears. The weight of responsibility eases.
And for the first time, you let go.
4. The Collective Strength Ending: Leaving the Past Behind
As you try to clean up the camp and get everyone to organize, you suddenly stop mid-step.
Something inside you shifts.
Why am I always the one trying to hold everything together?
Instead of taking charge, you look at the group and say, "If you want to leave this place, we have to do it together."
The students pause, looking at you. Something in your tone is different.
One by one, they begin helping—not out of obligation, but because they see the importance of it. The drunk classmate sobers up, the one in the green suit laughs but stops running, and even the boy who wanted to die joins in, carrying supplies.
By the time you all stand at the edge of the camp, ready to leave, you turn back one last time.
The place where pain once lingered is now just a memory—a part of the past, but no longer in control.
As the sun rises, you step forward. Together.
Conclusion
Each ending offers a different perspective on how to resolve the dream’s tension:
Healing Ending → Transforming pain into growth and community healing.
Transformation Ending → Shifting a space of tragedy into one of creation.
Self-Realization Ending → Recognizing the inner conflict and releasing the burden.
Collective Strength Ending → Moving forward together instead of carrying everything alone.
Dream Interpretation Using Jungian Psychology
This dream contains strong symbolic elements related to death, rebirth, responsibility, and personal transformation. Below is an interpretation based on Jungian psychology:
1. Core Themes & Symbols
Life and Death Discussion at the Camp
The event about discussing life and death suggests a deep contemplation of existential themes. The camp setting symbolizes a temporary yet transformative space, representing a liminal stage where the dreamer is processing something profound.
Drinking & The Middle School Party
Alcohol in dreams often represents altered states of consciousness, release of inhibitions, or social bonding. The dreamer recalls their first drinking experience in a controlled environment, which might symbolize an early experience with self-exploration, peer influence, or the structured introduction to an "adult" experience.
The teacher’s approval of this experience suggests a reflection on safe vs. unsafe exposure to life’s realities—a contrast that later manifests in the dangerous mimicry of suicide by others in the dream.
The Suicide Room & the Mimicking Death
The small room where someone previously committed suicide serves as a shadow space—a repository of repressed fears, past traumas, or unresolved emotional burdens. The act of witnessing someone reenact a past tragedy suggests that certain cycles or emotional wounds are repeating in the dreamer’s subconscious.
The fact that the dreamer brings a classmate into this space could indicate a subconscious invitation to confront and process past emotional burdens. However, the unexpected reenactment of suicide by another introduces the idea that unprocessed traumas can manifest in new, unsettling ways.
Intervention & Responsibility
Instead of reacting passively, the dreamer actively intervenes—convincing the suicidal classmate not to go through with it and even simulating a suicide experience for him. This act suggests a deep desire to understand despair from the inside out, to process it, and ultimately, to heal it. It also hints at the archetype of the wounded healer, someone who, having encountered suffering, attempts to help others avoid the same fate.
The Drunken Chaos & Struggle to Maintain Order
As the dream moves toward the cleanup and departure phase, the dreamer is overwhelmed by the irresponsibility and chaos of others. The fat man in a green suit chasing people adds a comical yet surreal element—perhaps representing the irrational or unpredictable aspects of human nature that persist even in serious situations.
The dreamer’s frustration in trying to get people to organize and clean up reflects a personal burden of responsibility—a feeling of being the only one who cares about maintaining order in a world that is indifferent, careless, or lost in distractions.
2. Jungian Analysis & Psychological Implications
The Shadow & Death Anxiety
The shadow in Jungian psychology represents the repressed or unacknowledged aspects of the self. Here, the suicide room symbolizes an encounter with a part of the subconscious where past trauma, grief, or existential fears reside.
By forcing the suicidal classmate to "experience" death in a controlled way, the dreamer attempts to reframe suffering—suggesting a subconscious effort to process deep emotional wounds and redefine the meaning of pain, loss, and survival.
Individuation & Role as a Guide
The dreamer takes on a leader-like role, guiding others through emotional turbulence and maintaining control in a chaotic environment. This suggests an ongoing individuation process, where the dreamer struggles with balancing personal growth, responsibility, and the unpredictability of others.
The act of taking charge, helping others process grief, and facilitating an orderly departure reflects a mature psychological stance, even amidst internal and external disorder.
3. Possible Real-Life Connections
Processing Past Experiences: The dream might reflect past encounters with themes of loss, responsibility, or feeling overwhelmed by the struggles of others.
Role as a Helper or Healer: The dreamer may naturally take on the role of guiding others, even at personal cost.
Frustration with Chaos & Lack of Control: The difficulty in making others follow instructions and prepare for departure could reflect real-life frustrations with disorganization, irresponsibility, or emotional immaturity in others.
Fear of Being Overwhelmed: The relentless movement between the campfire, the suicide scene, and the departure preparations could mirror real-life exhaustion from managing too many responsibilities or emotional burdens.
4. Conclusion & Reflection
This dream represents a deep engagement with the themes of life, death, responsibility, and transformation. The dreamer’s active role in helping others process trauma suggests a subconscious desire to guide, heal, or bring order to emotional chaos.
However, the overwhelming sense of responsibility and frustration in getting others to follow instructions might indicate a need for personal boundaries, self-care, and a reassessment of how much responsibility one takes for others’ well-being.
Rather than merely trying to "control" the environment, perhaps the dream is inviting the dreamer to reflect on their limits and to find balance between guiding others and preserving their own peace.
