I dreamt that I was in a high school classroom for a composition class. The teacher was at the front explaining what the content and elements of the essay should be. As the teacher spoke, I took notes.
After the teacher finished, I was ready to leave. The teacher said I couldn't leave until I finished writing! I thought to myself, "Oh no! I was just about to leave." So, I quickly started writing.
First, I needed to write the title. I used green ink and artistic lettering for the title. But I didn't plan it well, and the title was too long, and my artistic letters were too big, so there wasn't enough space.
I asked if anyone had extra paper to give me because I needed to rewrite it. Someone gave me some paper. This time, I folded the paper into quarters and started writing the title. But still, there wasn't enough space. I thought, "I've spent so much time on just the title, and I haven't even started the content!"
I asked again if anyone had extra paper. Eventually, a classmate gave me some paper, but it looked like it had been used multiple times. They told me I could tear off the top layer. I thought, "Can I really write on this ragged paper?"
As I prepared to write the body of the essay, I glanced out the window hoping for inspiration. To my surprise, all the windows were covered with opaque paper, so I couldn't see outside.
I asked, "Why can't we see out of these windows?" A classmate replied, "It's always been like this! They covered the windows so students wouldn't get distracted and could focus on class."
I thought, "Wow, was it like this when I was in class before?" They said yes, because they wanted us to concentrate on class without looking outside.
Gradually, others finished writing their essays and left. I was a bit frustrated because I didn't realize I had to finish the essay before leaving. I had some ideas, but now the teacher insisted we had to finish within a time limit before we could leave, which felt limiting to my creativity.
Now, just to leave sooner, I was thinking about what exactly to write to meet the teacher's word count and get it done.
夢見我在高中教室上作文課。老師在台上講文章要有什麼樣的內容跟元素。老師邊講，我邊做筆記。
老師講完，我準備要離開。老師說要寫完才能走喔！我心想：「天啊！我都準備要走人了。」那我得趕快來動筆。
一開始我要寫標題。我用綠色的墨水，用美術字在那裡寫標題。結果我沒規劃好，標題的字比較多，我美術字寫太大，位子就不夠了。
我問有沒有人有多的稿紙可以給我，因為我要重寫。有人給了我稿紙。我心想這次我要把位子算好。我把稿紙折了四摺，開始寫標題。結果位子還是不太夠，我心想：「光是標題就搞那麼久，我內文都還沒開始寫呢！」
我再問還有沒有人有多的稿紙。後來有個同學給我稿紙，可是它看起來像是用過的多層抹布。同學叫我可以撕掉上面一層。我心想：「這抹布看來破破的，真的可以寫嗎？」
當我準備寫文章內文時，我往窗外看去，想說看看能不能啟發一些靈感。結果發現，欸？怎麼窗戶都用紙糊起來，變成不透明的窗，無法看出去了？
我問：「為什麼這個窗沒有辦法看出去？」同學回說：「以前就是這樣子啊！」
我心想：「蛤？以前上課是這樣子嗎？」他們說對啊！因為怕學生上課會分心，學校把窗都弄成不透明，讓我們無法向外看，就會專心上課了。
後來陸續有人寫好文章離開了。我有點埋怨，沒想到要寫完文章才能走。我是有一些想法，可是現在老師規定要在限時內寫完文章才可離開，我覺得創意受到限制。
我現在為了想早點離開，在想到底要寫些什麼，才能湊到老師要的字數交差了事。
這個夢似乎充滿了壓力、期望、創造力和受限感等主題。以下是對不同元素的解釋：
在高中教室：這種環境可能象徵著回到學習場所或生活中，你被期望表現或達到特定標準的時期。高中通常代表著人生的一個形成時期，在這裡設定的夢境可以喚起那個時期的挑戰或期望的感覺。
做筆記和老師的指示：老師代表權威和遵循規則或指導方針的想法。這可能表明你有一種義務感，無論是在當前的創造性努力，還是生活的其他方面，都必須滿足某些標準或期望。它可能表明你覺得自己必須遵守或受約束特定結構，而不是自由創作的情況。
撰寫標題時遇到困難：專注於撰寫標題並努力使其合適，表明你在開始或表達你的想法時遇到困難。它可能反映了對無法完美表達你想要的東西的恐懼，或者感覺你需要比可用的更多的時間和空間。這也可能反映了你最初的想法給人留下好印象的壓力，讓你感到受到限制。
要求額外的紙張：重複需要更多的紙張，可能意味著需要更多的時間、空間或資源來充分發展你的想法。它表明渴望一個新的開始，或有機會重新建構你的想法。然而，收到一張看起來像舊布的紙，可能象徵著收到的支持或資源比你需要的要少，或者感覺可用的東西不太符合你的期望。
窗戶被紙覆蓋：無法看到外面，可能代表一種限制感或感覺與更廣闊的視角或靈感隔絕。它可能表明缺乏自由，或感覺陷入無法探索外部影響或機會的情況。被告知「以前就是這樣」，可能反映出對根深蒂固或難以改變的限制感到沮喪。
其他人完成並離開：看著其他人完成並離開，而你卻陷入困境，可能象徵著一種被拋在後面，或努力跟上別人進步的感覺。這可能與對按時完成任務或期望的焦慮有關，尤其是當你看到其他人更快或更容易取得成功時。
時間限制與壓力：在被允許離開之前必須完成寫作的想法，凸顯了在設定的時間範圍內遵守和生產的壓力。這表示你覺得你的創造力被外在壓力、截止日期或與你的自然流程或風格不符的規則所扼殺。
急於滿足字數要求：這表明你可能感到被迫更多地關注數量，而不是質量，或者你正在優先考慮完成任務，而不是充分表達自己。它可能表明履行義務和想要更真實地表達自己之間的抗爭。
總的來說，這個夢似乎觸及了創作自由與外在壓力之間的緊張關係。它可能反映了一種情況，即你覺得自己的創造力受到截止日期、期望或嚴格結構的限制。如果你目前正在從事涉及寫作或製作內容的創意專案或工作，夢境可能是表達對需要滿足某些標準或時間表的焦慮或沮喪，可能就像你您對寫作網站或 YouTube 的計劃一樣。
1. A Breakthrough of Creativity
As you struggle to find inspiration, you take a deep breath, close your eyes, and let go of the pressure to write perfectly. When you open them again, the paper covering the window has vanished, revealing a beautiful sunset outside. The vibrant colors flood the room, and you suddenly feel a surge of creativity. Words start to flow effortlessly onto the page, filling it with vivid imagery. The teacher notices your newfound enthusiasm and, seeing your focus, allows you to leave before the others, saying, "Sometimes, inspiration is all you need."
2. The Magical Window
After asking your classmates why the window is covered, you reach out and touch the opaque paper. To your surprise, it dissolves into thin air, revealing a lush, dreamlike landscape outside—rolling green hills, a sparkling river, and the golden light of a distant sunrise. As you gaze out, you feel inspired and begin to write about what you see. The words come naturally, filling the page with a story of adventure and discovery. As you finish, the teacher looks at your work and says, "This is exactly what I was looking for. You’re free to go." You leave the classroom, feeling a sense of accomplishment and freedom.
3. A Rebellion Against the Rules
Frustrated by the restrictions, you decide to challenge the teacher's rule. You stand up and say, "Creativity can't be confined by time limits." To your surprise, the teacher smiles and says, "That was the lesson all along." The windows suddenly turn transparent, letting in a flood of light. The other students, inspired by your boldness, start to write freely, without worrying about the rules. You leave the classroom together, feeling liberated and more confident in your ability to challenge expectations.
4. A Classmate’s Secret Advice
Just as you're about to ask for another piece of paper, a classmate leans over and whispers, "Follow me." You both sneak out of the classroom through a side door that leads into a hidden garden, full of blooming flowers and vibrant colors. In the garden, they hand you a fresh, clean sheet of paper. Surrounded by the scents and sounds of nature, you find yourself writing quickly, the ideas flowing easily. When you return to the classroom, the teacher glances at your paper, smiles knowingly, and says, "You found the hidden path. You’re free to go." You leave, feeling that sometimes the best way forward is off the beaten path.
5. A Time Loop Realization
As you struggle with the paper, you realize that this situation feels strangely familiar, like you’ve been through it before. Suddenly, you remember that it’s a dream and gain control over it. You decide to ignore the teacher’s instructions and walk straight out of the classroom. As you exit, the school transforms into an open field under a starry sky. You realize that all along, the only one holding you back was yourself. The stars inspire you to write a story, and this time, you do it without pressure, enjoying the process. You wake up with a sense of clarity and a renewed confidence in your creativity.
Each of these endings shifts the tone of the dream, from finding unexpected inspiration to breaking free from limitations or even turning it into a more empowering experience.
This dream seems rich with themes of pressure, expectations, creativity, and feeling constrained. Here’s an interpretation of the different elements:
Being in a High School Classroom: This setting might symbolize a return to a place of learning or a time in your life when you were expected to perform or meet specific standards. High school often represents a formative time in life, and dreams set here can evoke feelings about challenges or expectations from that period.
Taking Notes and Teacher's Instructions: The teacher represents authority and the idea of following rules or guidelines. This could indicate that you feel a sense of obligation to meet certain standards or expectations, either in a current creative endeavor or another aspect of your life. It may point to a situation where you feel you have to conform or adhere to a specific structure rather than being freely creative.
Struggling with Writing the Title: The focus on writing the title and struggling to make it fit suggests difficulty in getting started or expressing your ideas. It could reflect a fear of not being able to convey what you want perfectly or feeling like you need more time and space than is available. It’s also possible that this mirrors the pressure to make a good impression with your initial ideas, making you feel constrained.
Requesting Extra Paper: The repeated need for more paper could signify a feeling of needing more time, space, or resources to fully develop your ideas. It suggests a desire for a fresh start or a chance to reframe your thoughts. However, being handed a piece of paper that looks like a used cloth could symbolize receiving less support or resources than you need, or a sense that what’s available doesn’t quite meet your expectations.
Windows Covered with Paper: The inability to see outside might represent a sense of restriction or feeling cut off from broader perspectives or inspiration. It could suggest a lack of freedom or a sense of being trapped in a situation where you can’t explore outside influences or opportunities. Being told this was "always like this" may reflect a frustration with limitations that feel ingrained or hard to change.
Others Finishing and Leaving: Watching others finish and leave while you remain stuck could symbolize a feeling of being left behind or struggling to keep up with others' progress. It might be connected to anxiety about meeting deadlines or expectations, especially when you see others succeeding more quickly or easily.
Time Constraints and Pressure: The idea that you had to finish writing before being allowed to leave highlights a pressure to conform and produce within a set timeframe. It suggests that you feel your creativity is stifled by external pressures, deadlines, or rules that don’t align with your natural flow or style.
Rushing to Meet the Word Count: This suggests that you might feel forced to focus more on quantity rather than quality, or that you are prioritizing finishing tasks rather than fully expressing yourself. It could indicate a struggle between fulfilling obligations and wanting to express yourself more authentically.
Overall, this dream seems to touch on the tension between creative freedom and external pressures. It might reflect a situation where you feel your creativity is being limited by deadlines, expectations, or a rigid structure. If you’re currently engaged in a creative project or work that involves writing or producing content, it could be that the dream is expressing anxieties or frustrations around needing to meet certain standards or timelines, possibly like your plans with the writing website or the YouTube channel.
