I dreamed that I was working for the Kuomintang (KMT). Because I often follow international news, I noticed that the United States was constantly discussing the development of the Taiwan People's Party (TPP), unlike the news in Taiwan, which was mainly focused on Ko Wen-je's issues. The U.S. coverage seemed to focus on broader topics like the potential impact of the disappearance of third-party forces and how it could affect Taiwan's political landscape.
In the dream, I was in a multi-story parking garage looking for my car. I remember it being daytime because the sun was shining. As I walked through the garage, the scene shifted, and I found myself in an office.
I recall that the KMT and TPP shared the same workplace. As I was working for the KMT, I passed by Huang Shan-shan's desk and said, "Shan-shan!" She looked up, and I mentioned that international news outlets were currently racing to cover the situation of the TPP. Foreign experts were analyzing the impact on Taiwan's political scene from a broader perspective.
I thought that since there was increasing international attention on the TPP, it could use this opportunity for promotion. It’s a great marketing opportunity, gaining natural publicity without needing to buy ads, and could help regain control of their messaging. Personally, I felt it was a valuable chance for the TPP to spread its ideals globally.
As I shared my thoughts with Huang Shan-shan, a male assistant from the TPP overheard and seemed surprised since I was from the KMT. My perspective probably differed from theirs, which made the situation a bit awkward for them.
I said, "Actually, since I’m a member of the KMT, I was hesitant about whether I should share this with you. But I believe it’s good for the country, so I wanted to let you know. This is a rare opportunity for the TPP to strengthen itself."
Huang Shan-shan agreed to look into it, while the other TPP members continued chatting casually about trivial things like bubble tea flavors and lunch options.
The scene then shifted to a joint meeting between our two offices, where we gathered for a committee meeting. A man announced, "We’re going to promote an initiative called 'Do Good Deeds, Speak Kind Words,' so let’s stop the bickering."
Since they were starting the meeting, I went to the restroom. It was a bit dirty, so I wiped the seat before using it. While I was in there, I overheard discussions outside about the "Do Good Deeds, Speak Kind Words" campaign.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and I responded, "Occupied." But they kept knocking, and I repeated, "Occupied," becoming a bit annoyed. Eventually, I heard someone outside say, "Oh, someone’s in there." Meanwhile, the office outside was lively, like they were hosting an event. The committee leader kept promoting, "Let’s all do good deeds and speak kind words, okay?" The entire office was buzzing with the campaign.
I couldn't help but think that I always view things from a broader perspective. If people noticed my abilities, my promotion should be swift! I thought I should find ways to make my skills more known, to impress people and introduce myself more. That way, when opportunities arise, they would think of me and recommend me.
夢見我在國民黨上班。因為我都會關注國際新聞，我注意到美國一直在討論民眾黨的發展，不像台灣這邊新聞只放在柯文哲的案件上。美國看國際新聞會著眼在討論第三政黨勢力消滅，會如何影響台灣的政治生態等問題。
然後我在一個立體停車場裡，要找我的車子。我在停車場裡走。我記得是白天，因為有太陽。走著走著，就變成我在辦公室裡。
我記得夢裡國民黨跟民眾黨在同一個工作地點。我在國民黨上班，我經過黃珊珊座位的時候，我跟她說：「珊珊啊！」她抬起頭來，我說我看國外新聞，現在正好都在爭相報導民眾黨的狀況，國外專家用宏觀視野來分析對台灣政局的影響。
我覺得既然國外對民眾黨現在有更多的關注，民眾黨可以利用這機會來宣傳，是一個很好的行銷方式。不需要投放廣告，就有自然人流，可以藉此拉回行銷宣傳的主導權。我個人覺得這是一個很好的機會，來宣揚民眾黨的理念到全世界。
當我在跟黃珊珊分享我的想法時，旁邊剛好有位民眾黨的男助理，他有點愣住，因為我是國民黨的人。然後可能我的視野跟他們不太一樣，讓他們的立場有點尷尬。
我說：「其實因為我是國民黨員，我本來還在掙扎說要不要跟你們講。我覺得這對國家都是好事，所以把它提出來，讓你知道一下。這是難得的機會，民眾黨可以把握來壯大自己。」
黃珊珊說好，她來注意一下。然後其他民眾黨的人繼續在辦公室瞎聊，像是珍珠奶茶喝什麼，便當吃什麼，這些小不拉嘰的問題。
然後場景切換到我們兩邊辦公室，聚在一起開福委會議。有個男生宣佈：「我們現在要來推行一個運動，就是『做好事，說好話』，大家不要再罵來罵去。」
因為他們要開會，我就先去上廁所。廁所有點髒，上廁所前我先擦一下坐板上的尿液，同時聽到外面大談「做好事，說好話」運動。
這時候突然有人來敲門，我回應：「有人。」然後有人繼續敲門，我又回應：「有人。」就是有人一直來敲門，我回應的有點煩。後來我聽到外面有人說：「喔！裡面有人。」外頭辦公室像是辦活動很熱鬧。反正我就一直聽到主委不斷宣傳：「我們大家一起來做好事、說好話，好不好？」整個辦公室沸沸揚揚，都在宣傳。
我不禁想，其實我都是從宏觀的角度來看事情。如果有人注意到我，我的晉升應該要很快啊！我在想應該要想辦法讓更多人知道我的能力，引起大家的驚豔，要多多介紹我自己，讓更多人知道我。如此未來若有什麼機會，就會想起我，並引薦我。
這個夢想似乎充滿了身份、野心和社會動態的主題，尤其是在你的職業生活和更廣泛的政治或社會景觀的背景下。這是一個可能的解釋，分解了關鍵要素：
1. 為國民黨工作及國際意識
政治認同：為國民黨工作，可能象徵著與台灣的某些傳統價值或制度保持一致。由於你關注的是國際新聞，這表明你希望超越本地視角，尋求更具全球性或策略性的視角。
美國關注民眾黨：此夢顯示國際觀察家比台灣媒體更關注民眾黨。這可能反映出一種感覺，即外部視角往往更廣泛、更細緻，也可能象徵著你自己的感覺，儘管你擁有寶貴的見解，但在當地卻被忽視或不被賞識。
2. 停車場和到辦公室的過渡
在停車場中搜尋：停車場通常代表一個過渡空間——你在目的地之間尋找特定的東西，也許是方向或清晰度。陽光明媚的事實，表明了這次探索的希望或樂觀。
轉移到辦公室：從停車場轉移到辦公室，可能象徵著從尋找方向，到生產力和行動空間的轉變。它表明你正在朝著你認為可以有所作為或具有影響力的方向前進。
3. 與黃珊珊及民眾黨同事互動
跨越黨派界線分享想法：儘管是國民黨黨員，但與黃珊珊分享你的見解，表明你願意跨越分歧，以實現更大的利益。它可能代表對合作和開放思想的渴望，甚至可能感覺你的想法可以彌合不同觀點之間的差距。
民眾黨助理的尷尬：他的驚訝，可能表明在忠於自己的團體，和為他人提供有益的見解之間，存在著緊張關係。它可能反映了你內心的掙扎，即分享可能有益於他人的想法，即使它們與你目前的角色或身份並不完全一致。
4. 行銷機會與自然宣傳
看到機會：你提出關於民眾黨應利用國際關注的想法，表明你具有戰略思維意識和發現機會的技巧。這可能反映出你渴望在現實生活中，因這些策略見解而得到認可。
定位為樂於助人的局外人：你提到，作為國民黨成員，你對分享猶豫不決，但覺得這對國家有利。這可能表明你渴望為更大的事業做出積極貢獻，即使它與你的直接關係或角色並不完全一致。
5. 委員會會議暨「做好事、說好話」活動
活動的訊息：積極行為的倡議，可能象徵著維持某種形像或從事「安全」行為的內部或外部壓力。這可能反映了你的職業或個人圈子中的社會規範或期望，其中強調友善或仁慈。
洗手間場景：骯髒的洗手間和需要自己水清理，可能象徵著在處理某種情況之前，需要先解決不愉快的方面。當你試圖滿足個人需求時，敲門聲和打擾可能代表外部壓力或干擾。
6.渴望得到認可和晉升
宏觀視野：你對被視為具有大局觀的人的想法，表明你希望因你廣泛的理解和策略願景，而受到重視。
渴望得到認可：這個夢暗示著你的能力被驗證和認可的願望。你希望其他人看到你的潛力，並因你的才能而獲得機會。這可能反映了現實生活中進步的野心或望，以及從人群中脫穎而出的願望。
整體解讀：
這個夢境似乎圍繞著駕馭複雜的社會和職業環境的主題。它表明你希望自己的想法和策略思維得到認可，即使它們與你當前的角色或隸屬關係並不完全一致。這個夢凸顯了保持對一個群體的忠誠與追求更廣泛、也許更進步的想法之間的抗爭。它還強調需要對你獨特的觀點和貢獻進行認可和驗證。
它還可以反映出一種更深層的信念，即真正的進步來自協作和理解，即使在不同的意識形態之間，並且從更大的全球視角來看，你的技能可能會得到最好的應用。
1. A Collaborative Turnaround
As the dream continues, Huang Shan-shan becomes more engaged with your ideas, and the atmosphere shifts from casual conversations about food to a serious discussion about the TPP's future. The TPP assistant, initially awkward, joins in with questions about international perspectives, and the conversation deepens.
Inspired by your insights, both the KMT and TPP decide to collaborate on a joint initiative to promote Taiwan's interests abroad. This unprecedented partnership becomes a symbol of unity in the office, leading to new policies that benefit both parties and Taiwan as a whole.
As the office becomes more collaborative, you find yourself taking on a leadership role in this new effort, earning the recognition you longed for and reshaping the political dynamics within the workplace.
2. Recognition from Unexpected Places
When you leave the restroom, the TPP assistant pulls you aside and thanks you for sharing your perspective. He admits that the TPP often struggles with strategic thinking and that your advice could be pivotal. He suggests that the TPP could use someone like you to help shape their international messaging.
In an unexpected twist, he offers you a chance to work with them in an advisory role, making you question where your loyalties truly lie. As the dream ends, you find yourself at a crossroads, pondering whether to stay with the KMT or seize this new opportunity that could propel you into the spotlight.
The final scene is of you standing at the office window, looking out at a sunny skyline, weighing the decision that could change your career path.
3. Taking Control of the Narrative
After the meeting, you return to your desk and decide to take matters into your own hands. You write a detailed report on how the TPP can use the international attention to their advantage, outlining strategies for digital marketing and media engagement. You send this report not just to Huang Shan-shan but also to KMT leadership, emphasizing the need for both parties to understand the changing political landscape.
Your report goes viral within the office, sparking debates and discussions. Suddenly, everyone, including the previously dismissive TPP members, is talking about your ideas. They even invite you to present them in a larger meeting.
The dream ends with you standing confidently at the front of a conference room, finally feeling the recognition and respect you’ve been seeking, and realizing that you have the power to influence the direction of both parties.
4. A More Introspective Twist
After the "Do Good Deeds, Speak Kind Words" announcement, the lively office scene begins to quiet down. You return to your desk and look around, noticing that the energy has shifted—people are reflecting more deeply on their roles and responsibilities. Huang Shan-shan approaches you, thanking you for bringing a different perspective, and she asks for your thoughts on how to improve the working culture.
You share ideas about fostering a more open and collaborative environment where different viewpoints are respected, even across party lines. The office slowly becomes a place where people genuinely listen to one another, and tensions between the KMT and TPP begin to ease.
As the dream concludes, you realize that while recognition is important, it's equally valuable to be in a space where people genuinely understand and appreciate each other’s contributions. You wake up with a sense of peace, feeling more grounded in your own values.
5. A Sudden Disruption
Just as the "Do Good Deeds, Speak Kind Words" meeting reaches its peak, the office lights flicker, and an earthquake begins to shake the building. Everyone, including you, rushes out to the parking garage for safety. In the chaos, you and the TPP assistant end up stuck together in an elevator, forced to wait for help.
During this time, the assistant asks why you shared your ideas despite being from a different party. This leads to a candid conversation about the bigger picture and how Taiwan’s political landscape needs fresh perspectives to face future challenges.
By the time the earthquake subsides, the two of you have a new respect for one another’s viewpoints, realizing that shared challenges can bring unexpected allies. As you both step out of the elevator, you sense that the office dynamics will never be quite the same, and that new alliances are forming.
Each of these endings shifts the focus of the dream—from professional recognition, collaboration, personal reflection, to navigating challenges in unexpected ways—offering different resolutions to the underlying themes of ambition, identity, and the desire for connection.
This dream seems rich with themes of identity, ambition, and social dynamics, especially in the context of your professional life and broader political or societal landscapes. Here's a possible interpretation, breaking down key elements:
1. Working for the Kuomintang (KMT) and International Awareness
Political Identity: Working for the KMT might symbolize being aligned with certain traditional values or institutions in Taiwan. Since your focus was on international news, it suggests a desire to look beyond local perspectives, aiming for a more global or strategic view.
Focus on TPP in the U.S.: The dream suggests that international observers are paying more attention to the TPP than Taiwan's media. This could reflect a sense that outside perspectives are often broader and more nuanced, and it may symbolize your own feelings of being overlooked or unappreciated locally despite having valuable insights.
2. Parking Garage and Transition to the Office
Searching in the Garage: A parking garage often represents a transitional space—you're between destinations and searching for something specific, perhaps direction or clarity. The fact that it’s sunny suggests hopefulness or optimism in this search.
Shift to the Office: Moving from the parking lot to the office could symbolize a transition from searching for direction to a space of productivity and action. It suggests you are moving towards where you feel you can make a difference or have influence.
3. Interaction with Huang Shan-shan and TPP Colleague
Sharing Ideas Across Party Lines: Sharing your insights with Huang Shan-shan, despite being a KMT member, suggests a willingness to reach across divides for the greater good. It could represent a desire for collaboration and open-mindedness, perhaps even feeling that your ideas could bridge gaps between differing perspectives.
Awkwardness of the TPP Assistant: His surprise might indicate a perceived tension between staying loyal to one's group and offering beneficial insights to others. It may reflect an internal struggle within yourself about sharing ideas that might benefit others, even if they don’t align perfectly with your current role or identity.
4. Marketing Opportunity and Natural Publicity
Seeing Opportunity: Your idea that the TPP should leverage international attention suggests a sense of strategic thinking and a knack for identifying opportunities. This might reflect a desire to be recognized for these strategic insights in your waking life.
Positioning as a Helpful Outsider: You mention that as a KMT member, you were hesitant to share but felt it would be good for the country. This may suggest a desire to contribute positively to a larger cause, even if it doesn't align perfectly with your immediate affiliations or roles.
5. Committee Meeting and the "Do Good Deeds, Speak Kind Words" Campaign
The Campaign's Message: The initiative for positive behavior could symbolize an internal or external pressure to maintain a certain image or to engage in "safe" behaviors. This might reflect social norms or expectations in your professional or personal circles, where being agreeable or kind is emphasized.
Restroom Scene: The dirty restroom and needing to clean it yourself could symbolize the need to address less pleasant aspects of a situation before engaging with it. The knocking and interruptions might represent external pressures or distractions while you’re trying to take care of personal needs.
6. Desire for Recognition and Promotion
Macro Perspective: Your thoughts about being seen as someone who looks at the bigger picture suggest a desire to be valued for your broad understanding and strategic vision.
Wishing for Recognition: The dream hints at a desire for validation and acknowledgment of your abilities. You want others to see your potential and to have opportunities arise because of your talents. This could reflect ambitions or desires for advancement in real life, as well as a wish to stand out from the crowd.
Overall Interpretation:
This dream appears to revolve around the theme of navigating complex social and professional environments. It suggests a desire to have your ideas and strategic thinking recognized, even if they don't align perfectly with your current role or affiliations. The dream highlights a struggle between maintaining loyalty to a group and wanting to pursue broader, perhaps more progressive ideas. It also emphasizes a need for acknowledgment and validation for your unique perspective and contributions.
It could also reflect a deeper belief that true progress comes from collaboration and understanding, even across different ideologies, and that your skills might be best applied when seen from a larger, global perspective.
