I dreamed that we developed a device intended for installation at the Dharma Drum Mountain monastery. This device works by spraying you once, which makes you tell the truth, allowing us to gauge your level of Buddhist knowledge. Another spray then generates a series of courses and learning steps to guide you in improving your practice.
Meanwhile, a monk seemed to be organizing an event, and I was helping out. The monk explained the main concepts of the event to me. I thought it was great and realized how meticulous the monk was in planning the event.
The scene then shifted to the promotion of a project called "Zero," which is centered around the concept of achieving net zero and requires everyone's participation.
I saw a sister and asked if she could come to Dharma Drum Mountain to help. She said she could since she had more free time during the summer vacation, but mentioned she might not be very skilled. I then saw her talking with the monks, and it seemed they were praising something...
At that point, I seemed to be trying to hold onto two things to maintain balance. One was "hope," and I forgot the other one. For some reason, I suddenly wanted to find the answer. As I turned around, I fell heavily. Fortunately, nothing broke and no one was hurt.
夢見我們開發了一個設備 ，想安裝在法鼓山的道場。這設備功能是當它對你噴一下，你就會說實話，我們就可以知道你佛學的程度。再噴一下，就會出現一連串的課程跟學習步驟，告訴你可以如何來精進。
然後法師好像有活動要推動，我在幫忙。法師跟我講解活動主要的核心概念。我覺得很棒，原來法師辦活動，可是一點也不馬虎的喔！
場景切換到有一個 Zero 專案要推動。Zero 就是淨零的概念，需要大家來執行。
我看到一個師姐，我問她可不可以到法鼓山來幫忙。師姐說可以，反正夏天暑假比較有空，但他技術可能不熟。然後我看見她和法師們在講話，好像在誇讚什麼事...
然後我剛剛好像想要抓住兩項東西，來維持平衡。一個是「希望」，另一個忘記了。不知道為何，突然想要去尋找答案。一轉身，卻摔了一大跤。還好東西沒摔破，沒出事。
Ending 1: Enlightenment and Success
As you turn around to search for answers, you come across a serene meditation space. Sitting down to meditate, you experience a moment of enlightenment, realizing the importance of inner peace and mindfulness. When you get up, you find a guidebook filled with answers to your questions. With newfound clarity, you confidently move forward, knowing exactly how to balance "hope" and the other essential element.
Ending 2: Community and Support
Turning around, you stumble but a group of monks and the senior laywoman catch you before you fall. They help you up and together you discuss the challenges you face. With their support and collective wisdom, you feel empowered and realize the strength of community. Together, you create a plan that seamlessly integrates "hope" and the forgotten element, ensuring a balanced and successful path forward.
Ending 3: Self-Discovery
Instead of falling, you find yourself in a beautiful garden. As you walk through, you encounter various symbols and objects that represent different aspects of your life and aspirations. Each object provides a clue, leading you to a hidden scroll with answers. You discover that the key to maintaining balance lies within self-discovery and embracing both your strengths and vulnerabilities.
Ending 4: Technological Breakthrough
Just before you fall, the device you developed activates and projects a holographic mentor who guides you through your dilemma. The mentor helps you understand that the second element you forgot is "wisdom." With "hope" and "wisdom" in hand, the mentor provides a step-by-step plan to maintain balance and achieve your goals. The device then offers continuous support, ensuring you stay on track.
Ending 5: Spiritual Guidance
As you begin to fall, a monk appears and gently catches you. He takes you to a sacred altar where you perform a ritual that enhances your spiritual awareness. During the ritual, you have a vision revealing that the second element is "faith." With "hope" and "faith" harmonized, you feel a profound sense of peace and purpose, knowing that you have the spiritual guidance to navigate your journey.
Ending 6: Reflective Retreat
You manage to steady yourself before hitting the ground and decide to take a retreat at Dharma Drum Mountain. During your time there, you engage in deep reflection and meditation. You realize that the second element is "courage." The retreat gives you the time and space to integrate "hope" and "courage," providing a clear path forward filled with strength and determination.
Dreams can be highly personal and their interpretations can vary depending on the individual's experiences and emotions. Here’s one way to interpret this dream:
Development and Innovation
Device Development: This could symbolize a desire for new methods or technologies to aid in spiritual or personal growth. The device that reveals truth and provides a learning path might represent a wish for clarity and guidance in your journey.
Dedication and Attention to Detail
Monk's Event: Your admiration for the monk’s meticulous planning could reflect your own values or a desire to approach your endeavors with similar dedication and thoroughness.
Environmental Responsibility
Zero Project: The "Zero" project suggests a consciousness about environmental issues and the need for collective action. This could symbolize a growing awareness or involvement in sustainability and ecological balance.
Seeking Help and Collaboration
Senior Laywoman: Asking the laywoman for help indicates a recognition of the importance of community and collaboration. Her willingness but lack of skill might reflect a need to support and train those around you, even if they are not yet proficient.
Balance and Hope
Maintaining Balance: Trying to hold onto "hope" and another forgotten element suggests you’re striving to balance important aspects of your life. The fall could symbolize the difficulties and setbacks you encounter while trying to maintain this balance.
Search for Answers
Seeking Answers and Falling: The sudden urge to find answers and the resulting fall could indicate the challenges and risks involved in seeking deeper understanding or solutions. The fact that nothing was broken implies resilience and the ability to recover from setbacks.
Overall, this dream seems to touch on themes of innovation in spiritual growth, meticulous effort, environmental responsibility, collaboration, balance, and resilience in the face of challenges.
