A Test of Trust and Boundaries 信任與界線的試煉

I dreamed that I joined a high school alumni tour group and was assigned to share a room with a few classmates. One classmate opened her laptop, leaving it on her Facebook profile page, and placed her jewelry on the table.

I suggested she put her jewelry away, but she thought I was overthinking and said the items were safe. However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it would be better to store them properly instead of waiting until they went missing, which would lead to a complicated investigation and make everyone a suspect.

She then mentioned seeing a Facebook post that seemed to reference someone. I replied, "It doesn’t name anyone explicitly, so just assume it’s not about you!"

I added, "That’s how Facebook works. If someone doesn’t want to talk about something, they won’t write it. But if they do post, it’s to express an opinion. The key is to write it in a way that makes people feel like they know who it’s about, but without directly naming names." I laughed and said, "That’s the clever part!"

The classmates laughed quietly because it seemed like someone in our group had a habit of flaunting their wealth. Yet, this roommate left her bracelet on the table the entire time, which I found inappropriate—and, in a way, it also felt like showing off.

夢見我好像參加高中校友旅遊團，和幾個同學分配到一個房間。有個同學打開她的筆電，停在她的 Facebook 個人頁面，同時還把她的首飾放在桌上。

我建議她把首飾收好，她認為我多慮了，物品很安全。可是我總覺得先把首飾收好，不要等到不見了，再來大費周章調查，變成每一個人都有嫌疑。

她提到看到 Facebook 上有一篇貼文，好像在講某某人。我說「上面又沒有指名道姓，你就當作不是講你就好了啊！」

我接著說「寫 Facebook 就是這樣子啊！不想講的事情就不會寫。寫了，就是想要表達意見，那撰寫的技巧就要拿捏好，讓大家覺得好像知道你在講誰，可是你又沒有指名。」我笑說「這就是厲害的地方啊！」

同學們都在竊笑，因為好像我們那個群裡面有人很愛炫富。不過這位室友把她的手鍊一直放在桌上，我也覺得很不妥當，而且這其實也是炫富的一種方式。
