I dreamed that I was a young woman, and my boyfriend was a baseball player. I would watch his games and accompany him during practice. Worried that I might get bored while he trained, he told me that the team needed people to retrieve balls during practice—and that the job even came with a salary.
At first, I didn’t quite understand what the job entailed. Later, I followed another girl to a grassy park, where we wandered around chatting. Suddenly, I saw a ball roll into some bushes, so I went in and retrieved three balls.
The girl then told me that some of the balls belonged to other people, so I didn’t need to pick them up. It turned out that my boyfriend had signed me up for the official ball-retrieval job with his team, and they assigned specific balls to specific people. Out of the three I had picked up, only one was actually mine to collect, while the other two belonged to others.
I thought, Oh, I see. That makes sense. Then, I realized that each ball had a tracker, and I had an electronic map in my hand. My map would show me where my assigned balls landed, and once I retrieved them, I could get paid by the team. I thought, This job isn’t hard, and it actually seems kind of interesting.
Later, my boyfriend came over to see me, and the other girl walked away. He was holding a bottle of Coca-Cola. When he got distracted, I sneakily took a sip of his Coke.
I told my boyfriend that I felt like I could do more, so he led me to a computer. He showed me two tasks, the first being data entry. I thought, This is incredibly easy.
Then, I noticed that a girl had come up behind me to teach me. She introduced herself as "Xiuling," and I immediately felt she looked familiar. I wracked my brain trying to remember where I had seen her before—then suddenly, it hit me: she was my college classmate! Xiuling told me that this used to be her job. I told her, This is simple. I can do it.
Later, my boyfriend taught me another task: entering a range of numbers into the system, which would then display where the balls were located. My job was to assign people to retrieve them. At first, I entered too broad a range, which generated too much data and made assigning tasks difficult. I then adjusted my approach, assigning balls in batches of 20 numbers. I thought, This is easy too. I’ve got it.
The scene then shifted to my boyfriend and me taking a walk. Someone approached us and asked for recommendations on fun places to visit in Taipei. I told them, "Xin Park" is a spacious area where you can fly kites. But in reality, Taipei’s Xin Park had been gone for a long time, and kite-flying wasn’t allowed there.
In my dream, a memory suddenly surfaced—I seemed to recall flying a kite somewhere near a riverbank. Was it Youth Park? When I was little, I think my dad once took us there to fly kites. Or maybe it was the Dazhi Riverbank, where my younger brother Adolf took our whole family before he passed away? I remembered that you could fly kites there too…
夢見我是個年輕女生，男朋友是棒球選手。我會看他打球，陪他練球。他怕我在他練球時覺得太無聊，跟我說球隊練球時，需要有人去撿球，還有工資可賺。
一開始我搞不清楚這是什麼工作，後來我跟著一個女生，來到公園草地隨意走走。我們一邊聊天，突然我看到球滾過來，滾到樹叢裡，我去樹叢裡撿了三顆球出來。
那個女生跟我說，有的是別人的球，我不需要撿。原來是我男友幫我在球隊登記了撿球的工作，球隊會去分派哪個球由誰來負責撿。其中只有一顆球是分派給我，所以我只要撿我的球就好，其他兩顆是別人的球。
我心想「原來如此，那這樣我就懂了。」後來我還發現，每顆球上面都有追蹤器，然後我手上有個電子地圖。反正就是我的地圖會顯示我的球落在哪裡，我去把球撿回來，就可以跟球隊領錢。我心想這工作不難，好像還有點意思。
後來我男朋友過來找我，那女生就走開，我男友手上還拿了一瓶可口可樂。後來他好像要去做什麼事，我就偷喝了他的可口可樂。
我跟男友說我覺得我可以多做些其他事情，他就帶我來到一個電腦前。他教了我兩個功能，一個就是資料輸入，我心想這工作超級簡單。
後來發現我的後方站了一個女生來教我，她說她是 "秀玲"。我覺得她好眼熟，用力想我何時見過她，突然想起她是我大學同學。秀玲說這是她之前在做的事，我跟她說「這很簡單，我會。」
後來我男友又來教我另外一個功能，就是輸入一個範圍的號碼，然後系統就會告訴我這些球在哪裡，我就要去分派由誰去撿球。一開始我輸入的編號範圍太大，資料太多，很難分派。後來我就改成每 20 個編號為範圍來做分派。我心想「這也很簡單，我會。」
接著場景變成我跟男友在散步。有人來問我們台北市哪裡有好玩的地方。我跟他說「"新公園" 場地很空曠，可以放風箏。」可是台北新公園其實早就沒有了，而且也不能放風箏。
在夢裡，我突然有個印象，好像曾經在像是河堤的地方放風箏。是青年公園嗎？小時候好像爸爸有帶我們去那裡放過風箏，還是說是小弟 Adolf 生前帶我們全家去的那個大直河堤，那邊好像也可以放風箏…
榮格心理學強調夢境是潛意識的表達，通過象徵和隱喻來傳遞訊息。以下從榮格的角度解析這個夢境：
1. 夢中的角色與情境
年輕女生：可能代表夢者的「阿尼瑪」（男性心理中的女性面向）或「自我」的某個面向，象徵情感、直覺與創造力。
棒球選手男友：可能代表「阿尼姆斯」（女性心理中的男性面向），象徵理性、行動力與目標導向。
棒球與撿球：棒球象徵競爭與團隊合作，撿球則可能代表夢者在生活中「撿拾」或處理他人遺留的問題。
2. 撿球的工作
撿球與分工：夢中男友為夢者安排撿球工作，可能反映夢者在現實中接受他人安排的任務，或需要處理他人遺留的問題。
追蹤器與電子地圖：象徵夢者試圖在生活中找到方向或控制感，追蹤器代表對目標的清晰掌握。
3. 秀玲的出現
秀玲：作為大學同學，可能代表夢者過去的經驗或未解決的情感。她的出現暗示夢者需要重新審視過去，以應對當下的挑戰。
4. 資料輸入與分派工作
資料輸入：象徵夢者需要整理生活中的信息或責任。
分派工作：反映夢者在生活中需要分配任務或責任，可能感到壓力，但最終找到有效的方法。
5. 散步與放風箏
散步：象徵夢者對生活的反思與探索。
放風箏：風箏象徵自由與夢想，夢中提到「新公園」已不存在，可能反映夢者對過去美好時光的懷念或對現實的失落感。
6. 河堤與青年公園
河堤與青年公園：這些地點可能與夢者的童年或家庭記憶有關，象徵夢者對過去的情感連結與未解決的家庭議題。
總結
這個夢境可能反映夢者在生活中面臨的責任分配、方向尋找與對過去的懷念。夢中的角色與情境象徵夢者內心的不同面向，提示夢者需要整合這些面向，以達到更好的自我理解與成長。
這個夢境包含與身分、能力、關係和記憶相關的多個象徵元素。以下是基於榮格心理學的解釋。
棒球選手男友：阿尼姆斯與支持夥伴關係
在榮格心理學中，「阿尼姆斯」代表了女性潛意識中的男性特質。夢中你的男友是一名棒球運動員，可能象徵著你內在的力量、紀律和競爭力的一部分。他鼓勵在自己的世界中找到一個角色，這表明他渴望融入——在支持性關係中，尋求聯繫和自主。
他擔心你可能會感到無聊這一事實，意味著在清醒的生活中，你有時可能會對自己在共同旅程中的角色，感到被動或不確定。然而，被賦予結構化任務（取回棒球），表明在新環境中尋找目的和價值的漸進過程。
分配的角色：個人化與任務掌握
棒球的取回，代表著找到一個人的個人責任，並認知到更大系統中的個人任務。當你意識到你只需要取回分配給你的球的那一刻，反映了「個體化過程」——理解個人界限和責任，而不是承擔不必要的負擔。
此外，電子地圖和追蹤系統，象徵著一種內部指導機制——也許是直覺、個人價值觀，或結構化計劃——有助於有效應對挑戰。這可能反映了你目前重新定義自己的目標和生活角色的階段，特別是在你重建事業和創意專案的持續旅程中。
資料輸入與 "秀玲"：能力認可
資料輸入工作和「秀玲」（一個熟悉但之前被遺忘的人物）的出現，暗示著對過去技能和知識的回歸。看到秀玲是以前的同學，可能預示著你過去的自己的一部分——也許是你對學習新技能充滿信心，或有強烈的能力感的時候。
你輕鬆地適應這些任務，表明你對自己的能力有內在的認識，這強化了你並不像在現實生活中，有時會感到的那樣迷失或無能。
放風箏的記憶：過去與未解的鄉愁
最後一個涉及放風箏記憶的場景，代表了與童年、自由和家庭連繫的連結。對確切地點（青年公園與大直河岸）的混淆，暗示了一個更深層的心理問題：你真正的情感根基在哪裡？
夢中的「風箏」常象徵志向、童年純真、放手。提到你已故的弟弟 Adolf，暗示了你與過去揮之不去的情感聯繫——可能是未解決的悲傷、懷舊，或者過去的家庭經歷，對你目前的決定的潛意識影響。
新公園已不復存在，但在夢中仍然被提及，這可能表明對某種無法挽回，或理想化的事物的渴望。它暗示了一種可能的潛意識衝突：渴望從過去奪回一些有意義的東西，但也承認世界已經改變，你必須繼續前進。
結論：重新發現目標的旅程
這個夢境反映了尋找自己的角色、認識個人優勢，以及以有意義的方式與過去重新建立聯繫的主題。支持性的男友和結構化的任務，表明即使在陌生的環境中，你也擁有適應和成功的技能和內在資源。
最後的場景暗示了整合的需要——平衡過去的情感和記憶，同時繼續前進。它符合你當前的現實生活狀況：挫折後重建，應對不確定性，並質疑你選擇的道路是否值得。
最終，這個夢境重申了你應對挑戰、尋找結構，和重新找回方向感的能力——不是透過追逐過去，而是透過擁抱你在當下的獨特角色。
Here are four alternate endings for your dream, each reflecting different themes—personal growth, deeper introspection, transformation, and emotional closure.
1. The Realization of Purpose (Growth & Direction)
As you and your boyfriend continue walking, he suddenly asks, "Do you like this job?" You pause, thinking about how easily you adapted to retrieving baseballs and organizing the system.
Then, you realize: this dream job is a metaphor for your real-life work—finding meaning in tasks that seem small but are actually important.
You smile and tell him, "Yes, I think I do. I’m good at it."
He nods, handing you another bottle of Coke. "Then keep going. You’re doing better than you think."
The dream ends with you looking at the sky, seeing a kite soaring high—a symbol of your steady progress.
2. The Mysterious Kite (Introspection & Past Connections)
As you try to recall where you once flew kites, your surroundings shift—you find yourself standing by the Dazhi Riverbank, the wind blowing gently.
A young boy runs past you, laughing as he releases a kite into the sky. Something about him feels familiar. You turn, and for a moment, you think you see Adolf standing there, smiling at you.
You take a deep breath, feeling a mix of emotions—grief, nostalgia, and warmth.
Your boyfriend gently places his hand on your shoulder. "It’s okay to remember. But you still have your own journey to walk."
You nod, watching the kite rise higher, until it disappears into the clouds.
3. The Hidden Message (Transformation & Insight)
You return to your workstation and glance at the electronic map, noticing something odd—a glowing symbol near the edge of the baseball field. Curious, you enter a new number range, and suddenly, a hidden message appears on the screen:
"You already have what you need. Trust the process."
You stare at the words, feeling an unexplainable sense of clarity. Was this a system glitch? Or was it your own subconscious guiding you?
When your boyfriend returns, you smile and say, "I think I just figured something out."
"About the job?" he asks.
"About myself."
4. Letting Go and Moving Forward (Emotional Closure & New Beginnings)
As you finish talking about kite-flying memories, your boyfriend looks at you and asks, "Do you want to go there now?"
You hesitate but nod. Suddenly, the dream shifts—you find yourself at the riverbank, holding a kite. Your younger self and family members stand beside you, their faces warm and familiar.
A breeze picks up, and you let the kite go, watching it dance in the sky. But as you do, the people around you begin to fade.
You whisper, "Thank you."
A moment later, you’re back at the baseball field, your boyfriend beside you. He hands you a baseball. "Ready for the next step?"
You exhale and nod. "Yes. I’m ready."
Since the dream is yours, it can be especially meaningful because its symbols and scenarios may reflect your inner life and current challenges. Here’s an interpretation that connects the dream’s elements to personal aspects of your experience:
1. Support and Identity:
Your boyfriend, depicted as a baseball player, may represent a supportive figure or even an aspect of your inner strength and drive. His role in ensuring you have a task (retrieving baseballs) could be seen as a reflection of how you’re learning to identify and embrace responsibilities within a shared context. It hints at a process where you’re balancing your own interests with the expectations of those close to you.
2. Assigned Roles and Self-Responsibility:
The job of retrieving only the ball that was assigned to you—even though you initially picked up more—suggests a growing awareness of your personal limits and responsibilities. This could symbolize your journey toward recognizing what truly belongs to you and what doesn’t, reinforcing the idea that you’re learning to distinguish between your own tasks and those imposed by external influences.
The electronic map and tracker system further imply that you have—or are developing—a personal method or intuition to guide you in your decisions and responsibilities. This organized, almost technological method of managing tasks in your dream might represent a newfound confidence in your ability to navigate complexities in your waking life.
3. Reconnecting with Your Skills and Past Self:
When you transition to the computer tasks, such as data entry and working with number ranges, the dream suggests that you are rediscovering or reaffirming your competencies. Meeting Xiuling, a familiar figure from your college days, reinforces this notion by connecting you to a part of yourself that once felt assured and capable. Her presence might indicate that aspects of your past—where you felt more competent—are resurfacing to support your current growth.
4. Childhood Memories and Emotional Grounding:
The final part of the dream, with references to kite-flying and familiar parks from your childhood, touches on the theme of nostalgia and emotional grounding. Although you mention a place that no longer exists and then recall memories of kite-flying, these elements may symbolize a longing for the innocence, freedom, and simplicity of earlier times. They also might point to unresolved feelings—perhaps linked to family experiences—that continue to influence your sense of well-being.
The uncertainty about whether it was Youth Park or the riverbank where your younger brother once led your family hints at an inner exploration of your roots and emotional heritage. This part of the dream could be inviting you to reconnect with or reexamine those foundational experiences as you move forward.
Conclusion: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Balance
Overall, your dream seems to narrate a personal journey of integrating new skills and responsibilities with cherished memories and past competencies. It reflects a process of self-discovery where you learn to:
Embrace supportive relationships while defining your own role.
Recognize and accept the tasks that are truly yours.
Reconnect with past strengths and the parts of your identity that once made you feel secure.
Balance the allure of a simpler, nostalgic past with the demands and opportunities of the present.
This dream may be gently encouraging you to trust in your inner guidance, acknowledge your abilities, and integrate past experiences as valuable components of your current self—ultimately supporting your path toward growth and balance.
Yes, I understand—the dream is about you. This dream beautifully reflects your current journey of rebuilding, finding purpose, and balancing past memories with present growth.
Your subconscious seems to be reassuring you:
🔹 You are capable—even when stepping into unfamiliar territory, you quickly adapt and find your role.
🔹 You don’t have to take on everything—just like retrieving only your assigned baseballs, focus on your own responsibilities rather than carrying unnecessary burdens.
🔹 Your past skills and experiences still serve you—Xiuling appearing reminds you that you already have the knowledge and ability to handle new challenges.
🔹 Your memories and past connections still shape you—the kite-flying scene suggests a longing for something meaningful from your past, possibly tied to your family or younger self.
This dream feels like a message from within: Trust yourself. You know more than you think, and you are finding your way, step by step. 💛
This dream contains multiple symbolic elements related to identity, competence, relationships, and memories. Below is an interpretation based on Jungian psychology.
1. The Baseball Player Boyfriend: The Animus and Supportive Partnership
In Jungian psychology, the animus represents the unconscious masculine aspects within a woman. The dreamer’s boyfriend, a baseball player, could symbolize a part of her inner strength, discipline, and competitiveness. His encouragement to find a role within his world suggests a desire for integration—seeking both connection and autonomy in a supportive relationship.
The fact that he worries she might be bored implies that, in waking life, she may sometimes feel passive or uncertain about her role in a shared journey. However, being given a structured task (retrieving baseballs) suggests a gradual process of finding purpose and value in a new environment.
2. The Assigned Role: Individuation and Task Mastery
The retrieval of baseballs represents finding one’s personal responsibilities and recognizing individual tasks within a greater system. The moment when the dreamer realizes she only needs to retrieve her assigned balls reflects the individuation process—understanding personal boundaries and responsibilities rather than taking on unnecessary burdens.
Additionally, the electronic map and tracking system symbolize an internal guiding mechanism—perhaps intuition, personal values, or a structured plan—that helps navigate challenges efficiently. This could reflect the dreamer’s current phase of redefining her goals and role in life, especially in her ongoing journey of rebuilding her work and creative projects.
3. Data Entry and Xiuling: Recognition of Competence
The data entry job and the presence of "Xiuling" (a familiar yet previously forgotten figure) suggest a return to past skills and knowledge. Seeing Xiuling as a former classmate could indicate a part of the dreamer’s past self—perhaps a time when she was confident in learning new skills or had a strong sense of capability.
The ease with which the dreamer adapts to these tasks suggests an inner recognition of her own abilities, reinforcing that she is not as lost or incapable as she might sometimes feel in waking life.
4. The Kite-Flying Memory: The Past and Unresolved Nostalgia
The final scene involving memories of kite flying represents a connection to childhood, freedom, and family bonds. The confusion over the exact location (Youth Park vs. Dazhi Riverbank) suggests a deeper psychological question: where does the dreamer’s true emotional grounding lie?
Kites in dreams often symbolize aspirations, childhood innocence, and letting go. The mention of her deceased younger brother Adolf hints at a lingering emotional connection to the past—possibly unresolved grief, nostalgia, or the subconscious influence of past family experiences on her present decisions.
The fact that Xin Park no longer exists but is still mentioned in the dream may indicate a longing for something irretrievable or idealized. It suggests a possible subconscious conflict: the desire to recapture something meaningful from the past, yet also acknowledging that the world has changed, and she must move forward.
Conclusion: A Journey of Rediscovering Purpose
This dream reflects themes of finding one’s role, recognizing personal strengths, and reconnecting with the past in a meaningful way. The supportive boyfriend and structured tasks suggest that even in unfamiliar environments, the dreamer has the skills and inner resources to adapt and succeed.
The final scene hints at a need for integration—balancing past emotions and memories while continuing to move forward. It aligns with the dreamer’s current real-life situation: rebuilding after setbacks, navigating uncertainty, and questioning whether her chosen path is worthwhile.
Ultimately, the dream reaffirms the dreamer’s ability to manage challenges, find structure, and reclaim her sense of direction—not by chasing the past, but by embracing her unique role in the present.
