I dreamed of a young doctor, very talented. He used to be quite arrogant, but one day he personally operated on his father, but his father passed away under his hands, and since then he has been crestfallen.
Meanwhile, I, a nurse, persuaded him to attend a lunch gathering I hosted.
Today's menu included braised pork, stir-fried kelp with shredded pork, and fried shredded eggs. Wanting to add some grated cucumber for freshness, I worried there wouldn't be enough food when unexpected guests arrived. Thankfully, recalling cucumbers in my trunk, I asked my late brother (deceased) Adolf to retrieve them.
In my dream, it seemed I resided in a villa on Dexing East Road during childhood. Guiding Adolf, I instructed him to cross Dexing East Road and walk two alleys to find my car, where the cucumbers were stored.
Adolf brought the stuff, and when I looked, it was English cucumber. I thought its texture was different from Japanese cucumbers'. As I was about to grate it, I found out it was actually loofah. Loofah cannot be grated because it's too soft, and it didn't fit the original plan. After a moment's thought, I decided to make another dish with the loofah.
Now, suddenly having to make so many dishes, I'm afraid I'm a bit short on time. Fortunately, a member of the group told me that he had informed the guests to come at one-thirty, so I thought I had to hurry up and cook.
There was a pot of very hot oil, and I started frying the shredded eggs. Then I started stir-frying the vegetables, all while remembering to grate the cucumber and putting the braised pork on the stove to cook. I just went about it step by step. Although time was a bit tight, I should be able to finish it. It's just that having to make so many dishes all at once is quite tiring.
Before cooking, I originally wanted to change clothes because I was wearing a thick Zara orange-red sweater. But I was too busy, I didn't have time to find clothes to change into, so I just put on my apron and quickly started cooking.
The scene jumped back to me and the doctor in a traditional market. I had a voucher in my hand, and I showed it to the stall owner, who saw my order and told me that my items actually belonged to different stalls. He quickly went to each stall to bring over the items belonging to my order. I saw a stall with a girl who was originally attracting customers outside, so she hurried back to her stall and got my stuff.
Later, the scene switched to me and the doctor's brother, seemingly in a race. We were competing to see who could run to the registration point. We each carried heavy loads, but I had a prosthetic leg. Anyway, we both ran, almost reaching the finish line at the same time, but I was slightly slower. There was someone like a teacher at the finish line, thinking we were childish, even competing in this.
Looking around, I wondered where I was; it felt like I had arrived here on a spaceship. Seeing the sign at the station saying "Louis," but with planetary symbols around it, I figured Louis must be the name of a planet.
In any case, everyone thought I was amazing, being able to whip up so many dishes in a short amount of time, and they tasted pretty good too. Ironically, I don't consider myself a great chef; these were just simple dishes made with fresh ingredients, but they managed to please both guests and hosts alike.
我夢見一個年輕醫生，他很有才華。他本來是相當自負，有天親自開刀治療他的父親，可是他父親在他手上走了，從此他就一蹶不振。
而我是護士，我拉著他參加由我主辦的一個午餐聚會。
今天我計劃做滷肉、龍鬚菜炒肉絲，還有炸蛋絲。我想刨一些小黃瓜絲來解膩，結果想不到來的客人比較多，我擔心準備的食物可能不夠。還好我想起我的後車廂還有幾條小黃瓜，我就請 (已過世) 小弟 Adolf 幫我拿來。
我像是住在小時候德行東路巷子的某個別墅。我告訴 Adolf，你要跨過德行東路，再走過兩條巷子，我的車停在那裡。請他把後車廂內的小黃瓜全部拿來。
Adolf 把東西拿來了，我一看是大黃瓜，心想它和小黃瓜的口感不一樣。當我正準備刨絲時，發現它根本是絲瓜。絲瓜是沒有辦法刨絲的，因為它太軟了，而且和原本的規劃不同。想一想，我決定把絲瓜做成另一道料理上菜。
現在突然要做這麼多菜，我怕時間有點趕。還好團員告訴我他有跟客人講，改成一點半來，所以我就想我得要趕快做菜了。
有一鍋很熱的油， 我開始炸蛋絲。接著是開始炒菜，還不忘要刨小黃瓜絲，同時將滷肉放到爐子上燒。我就是一道一道按步就班地做。雖然時間有點緊，應該可以做得完。只是一下子要做那麼多菜，還是蠻累人的。
做菜以前我本來想先換衣服，因為我穿著 Zara 橘紅色的毛衣，有點厚。但實在太忙了，我沒空去找衣服換裝，就直接套著圍裙，趕緊開始做菜。
場景跳回我和那位醫生，我們在一個傳統市場。我手上有張券，我拿給攤位老闆看，他看到我的單，告訴我說我的貨品其實是分屬不同的攤位。他趕快到各攤位去把屬於我訂單上的貨品拿過來。我看到其中有個攤位有位小姐姐，本來在外面拉攬客人，趕快衝回她的攤位，把我的東西拿過來。
後來場景又切換到我跟那位醫生的弟弟，好像在競賽。我們比賽看誰能夠跑到報到地點。我們各自揹著重物，但我有一條是機械腿。反正我們兩個各自跑，幾乎是同時到終點，但我稍慢了一點。有位像是老師的人在終點，覺得我們很幼稚，連這個都要比賽。
我環顧四周，想說這是什麼地方，感覺上好像是搭著太空船來到這裡。看到車站牌上寫著 "Louis"， 可是旁邊畫著好像太陽系行星圖形。我心想感覺 Louis 應該是個行星的名字。
總之，大家覺得我很厲害，可以短時間做出這麼多料理，味道也不錯。我反倒認為我不是什麼大廚，這些也就是一些簡單菜色，但都是新鮮食材，就可以讓賓主盡歡了。

(Interpretation from Pi AI)
This dream explores themes of overcoming adversity, personal growth, and the importance of resilience and adaptation.
The young, talented doctor represents potential and self-confidence. His arrogance suggests an initial lack of humility and the possibility of being blindsided by unexpected challenges. The loss of his father during surgery signifies a life-altering event that humbles the doctor and forces him to confront his own limitations.
Your role as a nurse who encourages the doctor to attend a lunch gathering highlights the importance of empathy and compassion in helping others navigate difficult times. The gathering symbolizes the value of social connections and the healing power of community.
The unexpected changes in the menu, including the switch from Japanese to English cucumbers and the discovery of loofah, represent the need for flexibility and resourcefulness when facing obstacles. The loofah's soft texture, making it unsuitable for grating, further emphasizes the importance of adapting to new situations and adjusting plans as needed.
The pressure of cooking multiple dishes in a limited time represents the stress and challenges that come with managing unexpected obstacles. Your decision to wear an apron over your sweater and prioritize cooking reflects a willingness to focus on what's essential and let go of unnecessary concerns.
The scene with the voucher and the traditional market signifies the importance of seeking help and relying on others when facing difficulties. The stall owners' efforts to gather your items show the value of teamwork and collaboration in navigating complex situations.
The race between you and the doctor's brother, despite your prosthetic leg, demonstrates your resilience and determination to persevere through adversity. The teacher's perception of the race as childish suggests that not everyone may understand or appreciate the struggles and triumphs experienced during personal growth.
The spaceship and planetary symbols suggest you're entering uncharted territory or exploring new opportunities. The "Louis" planet could signify a new environment or phase in your life.
Overall, your dream highlights your multifaceted nature, adaptability, and knack for bringing people together amidst adversity. It also reflects your ability to embrace new experiences and challenges as they arise.
