I had a dream where I lay on a poolside lounge chair, waiting for everyone to gather. There was a teenager nearby, seemingly waiting for family members.
Suddenly, a woman who looked like Margot Robbie walked in and approached me, launching into an exaggerated monologue about herself. I attempted to interject, informing her that her son had already briefed us on the matters she was discussing, and they had been resolved. There was no need for her to worry.
The woman looked embarrassed and mentioned how fortunate she felt to have her son taking care of her all these years.
The scene then shifted to a conversation between me and my younger brother, Ivan. I asked him if he'd like to join us for Lunar New Year celebrations at my place. He eagerly agreed, admitting he felt awkward asking since I hadn't extended a direct invitation.
Reflecting on this, despite the somewhat distant relationship with my brother, the bond of family remains. As the eldest sister, I felt it was my duty to help keep the family connected.
我夢見我躺在泳池邊的躺椅上,等著大家集合。旁邊有位青少年,似乎在等家人。
一位長得像 Margot Robbie 的女人走進來,來到我身旁,用很誇張的方式在講她自己的事。我試著讓她停止繼續講,並告訴她她的兒子都已經告知我們這些事情,也已經處理好,請她勿需耽心。
女人面露尷尬的表情。她說還好有這個兒子,這些年反而都是兒子在照顧她。
場景突然變成我和大弟 Ivan 在講話。我問他過年要不要到我家來一起過。他說當然好啊!因為我沒邀他,所以他也不好意思問。
我在想,雖然和這個弟弟平時關係疏遠,但畢竟還是一家人。我是大姊,還是應該扛起把家凝聚起來的責任。
