I had a dream where Mr. Zhao, after losing the presidential election, was working as a manager at a restaurant in Xindian. Many fans would visit the restaurant to eat and take photos with him.
A few of us went to the restaurant to see him, and after his shift, we followed Mr. Zhao and a group of young people, including someone who looked like Hor Lung, to a small house by the mountain to order food.
While Mr. Zhao and the young people were ordering, they played an "ancient acting" game.
Hor Lung: "Who comes here?"
Mr. Zhao: "I am Mr. Zhao. What would you like to order?"
They were playing and acting while ordering, asking Mr. Zhao to introduce the dishes. Mr. Zhao didn't act very well, and we all laughed. I thought he wasn't suited for acting because he was too serious.
I ordered a tofu dish. As I heated the tofu, I poured sauce over it to let it absorb the flavor.
Before I finished eating, I went to sleep. In the morning, my family opened my door to check if I was awake. I got up and said, "I'm awake! Does anyone else want some tofu?"
I remembered that besides the tofu, there was also braised spare ribs with bones and tendons. After braising all night, they were very flavorful.
Later, I remembered that I needed to hurry to work. My current boss is stricter, and I didn't have time to play the "ancient acting" game, as it would make me late for work.
My boss is somewhat like Miss. Xie from middle school. I said that if I were late to work, it would be hard to explain.
我夢見趙少康在總統選戰選輸後，在新店的一家餐廳當經理。有很多粉絲會慕名去那家餐廳吃飯，跟他照相。
我們幾個人一起去餐廳找他，等他下班後，我們跟著趙少康還有一群年輕人，其中有一位像是賀瓏，一起來到山邊一個小屋，要吃飯點菜。
趙少康和這些年輕人點菜時玩「古代演戲」的遊戲。
賀：「來者何人？」
趙：「我是趙少康，你想要點什麼菜？」
他們一邊點菜、一邊在玩演戲，請趙少康再介紹菜色。然後趙少康又演得不好，我們都在哈哈大笑。我覺得他不適合演戲，因為他太嚴肅了。
我點了一道豆腐。我一邊幫豆腐加熱，一邊把湯汁淋在豆腐上，讓豆腐入味。
我還沒吃完，就跑去睡覺了。早上醒來，我的家人打開房門來看我醒了沒，我爬起來說「我醒了啊！你們還有人要吃豆腐嗎？」
記得除了豆腐外，好像還有滷小排，有骨頭有筋。因為滷了一整晚，很入味。
後來我想起來，我得要趕快去上班。現在這個公司的老闆比較嚴格，我沒有時間玩那個「古代演戲」的戲碼 ，這樣會耽誤到我上班的時間。
我的老闆有點像是國中謝老師。我說如果我上班遲到了，不好解釋。
Ending 1: A Serene Conclusion
Before I finished eating, I went to sleep. In the morning, I woke up feeling completely refreshed. My family came in to check on me, and I got up with a smile, saying, "I'm awake! Who wants some delicious tofu for breakfast?" We all gathered around the table, enjoying the leftover food together, laughing and sharing stories. It was a peaceful and joyful moment, and I felt ready to face the day with a sense of calm and happiness.
Ending 2: A Moment of Realization
Before I finished eating, I suddenly realized that I had been dreaming. I woke up in my bed, the morning sun streaming through the window. My family came in to check on me, and I told them about the dream. We all laughed at the absurdity of Mr. Zhao as a restaurant manager. Reflecting on the dream, I decided to bring a bit more playfulness into my life, even at work, and not take things too seriously. This realization brought a sense of balance and peace to my daily routine.
Ending 3: An Unexpected Opportunity
Before I finished eating, Mr. Zhao stood up and announced that he was looking for passionate individuals to join his new restaurant venture. Excited, I volunteered and was offered a position to help run the restaurant. The next morning, I woke up eager to start this new adventure. I told my family about the opportunity, and they were supportive. I went to my strict boss and explained the situation, finding a way to transition smoothly. This dream led me to a fulfilling new path that combined my love for food and social interactions.
Ending 4: A Surprising Twist
Before I finished eating, I decided to stay up and chat with Mr. Zhao and the young people. We had a deep conversation about our dreams and aspirations. Suddenly, Mr. Zhao revealed that he was secretly preparing for a comeback in politics and was looking for innovative ideas and fresh perspectives. Impressed by our discussion, he invited me to join his campaign team. The next morning, I woke up with a sense of purpose and excitement about this new direction. I went to work and spoke to my boss, finding a way to balance both roles and feeling inspired by the possibilities ahead.
Ending 5: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Before I finished eating, I took a moment to reflect on the events of the evening. The playful acting, the delicious food, and the company of friends made me realize the importance of joy and creativity in my life. The next morning, I woke up determined to incorporate more of these elements into my daily routine. I shared my thoughts with my family, who encouraged me to pursue my passions. At work, I approached my boss with a proposal to bring more innovative and creative projects into our workflow, hoping to inspire my colleagues and make our work environment more enjoyable.
Dreams often reflect our subconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Here's an interpretation of your dream:
Zhao Shaokang's Role
Mr. Zhao, a public figure, might represent authority, public recognition, or a particular set of values or attitudes. Seeing him in a role of a restaurant manager after losing a presidential election could symbolize a fall from a high status to a more ordinary role. This might reflect your thoughts on humility, change in status, or the unpredictability of life.
Restaurant and Fans
The restaurant setting and fans visiting Mr. Zhao could indicate a desire for connection or admiration. It might suggest a longing for simpler, more grounded experiences even after significant changes or losses.
Group Activity and Play-Acting
The group, including young people and someone resembling Hor Lung, engaging in playful acting while ordering food suggests a social dynamic where play and performance are important. This could reflect your own social interactions and the balance between seriousness and playfulness in your life. Mr. Zhao struggling to act could signify that some people, perhaps including yourself, find it challenging to balance these aspects.
Tofu and Braised Spare Ribs
Food often represents nourishment, comfort, and satisfaction. The tofu dish you prepared and braised spare ribs could symbolize simple pleasures and the effort you put into making things meaningful and enjoyable. Heating the tofu and letting it absorb the sauce might reflect a desire for depth and richness in your experiences.
Sleep and Family Interaction
Going to sleep before finishing your meal might suggest a need for rest or a feeling of incompleteness. Your family checking on you in the morning and your response about the tofu indicate a sense of care and shared experiences within your family.
Work and Strict Boss
Remembering your job and the strict boss, who resembles Miss. Xie from middle school, highlights the pressure and responsibility you feel in your professional life. The reluctance to engage in the "ancient acting" game because of work suggests a conflict between your personal interests and professional obligations.
Overall Interpretation
The dream seems to highlight several themes:
Change and Adaptability: Moving from a high-status position to a more ordinary role (Mr. Zhao's shift) and the need to adapt.
Balancing Seriousness and Play: The interplay between work (seriousness) and social interactions or hobbies (playfulness).
Importance of Family and Social Connections: The presence of family and friends in the dream suggests the importance of these relationships in your life.
Professional Pressure: The strict boss and urgency to go to work reflect stress and responsibility in your professional life.
This dream might be encouraging you to find balance, stay adaptable, and ensure that you make time for rest and personal interests despite professional pressures.
