I dreamt that I was part of a gaming team at a computer company. All my teammates were young, and their main job was playing video games. There was a new game controller being released, and one chubby engineer was scheduled to demonstrate the newest game paired with this controller at a client meeting today.
I was eagerly waiting for him to return because I wanted to hear how the demonstration went.
When he came back, he approached me quietly and said he had a question. Embarrassed, he told me the demo was a disaster—he couldn’t even find the icon to launch the game on the computer, so he wasn’t able to demonstrate anything at all.
I opened up his computer, pointed to a blue-purple icon at the bottom right corner of the desktop, and told him, “Click on that.” As soon as he did, the controller immediately connected to the game.
I told him, “The icon was there the whole time. You just didn’t notice it earlier.” He kept thanking me, but he never explained how he handled the embarrassing situation in front of the client.
I went back to my office and continued working while munching on some cookies.
I saw my friend Jason—we worked in the same shared office space. On one of the walls, he had put up two large whiteboards filled with advertisements for different video games. One of them was the game we were currently testing. It seemed to be about alien creatures or monsters, with all kinds of bizarre characters as the main cast. Jason was introducing the game to his one-year-old daughter.
I said to him, “Our team is testing that game now. There’ll be a new report out soon.” Suddenly, his daughter ran out of the office.
I went back to working on my computer and eating my cookies. After a while, his daughter came back into the room, now accompanied by a little boy. When she entered, Jason pointed at me and told her, “Say ‘Amitābha’ to that auntie,” and then pointed to the little boy and said, “Say ‘Amitābha’ to that big brother.” The little girl’s speech was unclear, but I could still make out that she was saying “Amitābha,” and I thought she looked pretty cute.
I kept eating my cookies but suddenly realized I really shouldn’t be eating them—I’d been having toothaches recently and needed to maintain oral hygiene. Now that I had eaten cookies, I’d have to brush my teeth right away.
I took a closer look at the game controller and noticed that it had a base underneath. It seemed that the base wasn’t just for connecting the controller—it could also connect to other household appliances, like an electric toothbrush. It actually looked quite practical.
夢見我在一家電腦公司的電玩團隊,團員都是年輕人,他們主要工作是打電玩。現在有一款新的遙控桿,其中一個胖胖的工程師,今天要去客戶那裡展示最新的遊戲,並搭配這款遙控桿。
我很期待他回來,因為我想要知道今天展示的狀況與成果如何。
他回來了,但他偷偷來找我,說有問題要問我。他說他今天糗斃了,他上場要示範遙控桿的時候,在電腦上連啟動的圖示 (Icon) 都找不到,結果根本沒法示範。
我打開他的電腦,指著桌面右下角有個藍紫色的圖示,我說「你點進去」。他一點進去,遙控桿就直接連結到電玩了。
我跟他說「這圖示其實一直都在,只是你那時候沒有注意到它。」他一直和我道謝,但他也沒有講他今天在客戶那邊如何處理這個很糗的情況。
我回到我的辦公房間,繼續做我的事情,同時吃著小餅乾。
我看到朋友 Jason,我們在同一個辦公空間工作。那邊有一面牆壁,他放了兩個很大的白板,上面都是電玩的廣告。其中有一個就是我們正在測試的電玩,看來都是外星娃娃,像是魔怪,就是各式各樣的怪物為主角。他正在和他一歲多的女兒介紹這款電玩。
我跟 Jason 說「我們這組正在測試這個電玩,最近就會有新的報告出來。」然後他女兒就突然跑出辦公室。
我繼續弄我的電腦,吃我的餅乾。後來他女兒又跑進來,身邊還多了一個小男孩。當他女兒跑進來的時候,Jason 指著我,跟他女兒說「跟那個阿姨說 "阿彌陀佛"」,然後又說「跟那個小哥哥說 "阿彌陀佛"」小女孩口齒不清,但可以聽得出來她講 "阿彌陀佛",我覺得她那個樣子還蠻可愛的。
我繼續吃我的餅乾,突然覺得我其實不應該吃餅乾,因為最近牙痛,我應該要保持口腔清潔,不要吃東西。現在吃了餅乾,待會要趕快去刷牙。
我端詳一下那個遙控桿,發現它下面有個底座,好像不只連結遙控桿,它還可以連結很多家電用品,包括電動牙刷等小家電,看來還蠻實用的。

這個夢境充滿了豐富的象徵意義,可以從榮格心理學的幾個核心概念進行解析,包括個體化歷程、陰影整合、阿尼瑪/阿尼姆斯,以及科技與靈性的結合。以下是我對這個夢境的深度分析:
1. 「電玩團隊」與「遙控桿」:意識與無意識的操控介面
夢中你身處「電腦公司的電玩團隊」,這可能象徵你心理層面的「意識團隊」——即自我(ego)如何協調內在的不同面向(如思維、情感、直覺等)。「打電玩」作為工作,暗示你正在學習「玩轉」內在的心理能量。
遙控桿是關鍵象徵:它是操控虛擬世界的工具,代表你試圖「控制」或「連結」某些心理內容。榮格常將科技工具(如遙控器、機器)視為「心理功能」的隱喻,而它的「失靈」(找不到圖示)反映意識層面的「盲點」——你可能忽略了某種內在提示(藍紫色圖示)。
2. 「胖工程師的失敗」:陰影的浮現與整合
夢中「胖胖的工程師」可能代表你的陰影(Shadow)——即被忽略或羞於承認的面向。他的「出糗」(找不到圖示)象徵某種「能力焦慮」,或是你在現實中擔心無法順利展示自我(如專業能力、創造力)。
你幫助他發現「圖示其實一直都在」,暗示無意識正在提醒你:解決問題的資源早已存在(藍紫色是直覺與靈性的顏色),只是你未曾注意。這是一個典型的陰影整合過程,透過接納「失敗面向」,你得以重新連結內在智慧。
3. 「Jason 與外星娃娃廣告」:阿尼姆斯與創造力的投射
Jason 作為男性同事(若你做夢者是女性),可能代表阿尼姆斯(Animus)——即女性潛意識中的男性面向。他在白板上展示「外星娃娃」廣告,這些「魔怪」象徵未被馴服的原始能量,可能是你創造力或未被社會化的本能。
他教女兒說「阿彌陀佛」是極有趣的對比:科技(電玩)與靈性(佛號)的並置,反映你內在試圖調和「現代性」與「傳統智慧」。女兒的「口齒不清」卻真誠的表現,暗示你對「純粹性」的渴望。
4. 「餅乾與牙痛」:本能與超我的衝突
吃餅乾的愉悅與「不該吃」的罪惡感,展現本能(享樂)與超我(自律)的對立。而後出現的「多功能遙控桿底座」(可連結電動牙刷)提供解決方案:科技(意識工具)能協助平衡本能需求(如清潔口腔)。這可能暗示你需要更「智慧」地管理生活習慣,而非壓抑慾望。
5. 整體意義:個體化歷程中的「靈性覺察」
這個夢境的核心主題是「發現隱藏的連結」。從遙控桿的圖示、多功能底座,到 Jason 的「阿彌陀佛」,都在強調:看似無關的事物(如工作/靈性、控制/失控)實為一體。榮格會認為,這是無意識在引導你走向更完整的自我(個體化)。
夢的結尾聚焦於「實用性」,可能反映你近期在現實中尋找「具體工具」來整合身心(如冥想APP、心理學知識,或科技輔助的生活管理)。
給夢者的實踐建議:
注意「藍紫色」的提示:榮格重視夢中顏色的象徵。藍紫色可能代表「第三眼」或直覺,試著在生活中留意突然的靈感。
接納「出糗」的陰影:胖工程師的尷尬,或許對應現實中某種「怕失敗」的情緒,試著用幽默看待。
探索科技與靈性的結合:例如用數位工具記錄夢境,或透過電玩/藝術表達內在原型(如那些「外星娃娃」)。
這個夢展現了典型的榮格式旅程:從意識的困境(遙控桿失靈),到無意識的解答(隱藏圖示),最終指向「超越功能」(Transcendent Function)——即對立面的統一(科技與靈性、控制與放手)。
