I dreamed that I was holding my daughter, who had a slight fever. I wanted to find a place where she could lie down and rest. My husband was beside me and mentioned a type of chair he had seen before—one where you could push the backrest, and it would recline so you could lie down. I thought about looking for such a chair.
As we walked along the road, my husband kept pointing at various chairs, asking, “What about this one? Or that one?” I said none of them were right and began to worry because my daughter was still feverish.
Eventually, we came across a stroller. I noticed that although it was a small stroller, when I pushed the backrest, the seat flattened out, allowing my daughter to lie down. This reminded me of her stroller from when she was little, which had the same feature.
I adjusted the seat to make it flat and let my daughter lie down to rest. I quickly found a small blanket to cover her. She turned over a few times and soon fell asleep. She kept kicking off the blanket, but I noticed her temperature seemed to have returned to normal, which reassured me because it meant she had rested well.
Later, for some reason, we found ourselves at a monastery for an event. I was assigned to a group led by Master Changxun. Behind me was a multigenerational family—a young mother, her child, and her grandmother. The young mother struck me as rude and self-centered, with an attitude that made people uncomfortable.
I told the master that her behavior was disruptive and could jeopardize my child’s safety. Since they were in a group led by Master Changwu, Master Changxun said he would bring it up with Master Changwu. Master Changwu agreed to address the issue.
Master Changwu explained the situation to everyone and then asked the young mother’s family to step forward. At first, the young mother thought she was being recognized for good behavior, but when she realized they were being reassigned to a separate group, she became furious. She started a loud commotion and yelled at me, “I know it’s you—it’s all your fault!” She vowed revenge, shouting all sorts of accusations at me.
Her behavior was erratic and repellent, showing no capacity for self-reflection. She caused such a scene that even former legislator Shen Fu-hsiung came forward to say, “Do you realize how outrageous your behavior is? You need to reflect on yourself.”
Eventually, her family was expelled from the monastery. I overheard the young mother telling her mother that she was such a great performer that she should go to Hollywood, where she could make their lives better. She urged them to believe in her. Her actions were dramatic, selfish, and loud.
Still, I felt a tinge of sympathy for her. Even though she was a troublesome person, she had dreams and hadn’t entirely given up on herself. I thought to myself that if she could gain self-control and improve her situation, perhaps her dreams could come true—instead of being expressed through chaotic outbursts.
Initially, I had brought my daughter to the monastery, thinking it was a tranquil Buddhist place where she could rest peacefully.
夢見我抱著女兒，她有點發燒，我想找個地方讓她可以平躺下來睡一下。老公在旁邊，說以前看過有一種椅子，推一下椅背就會往後倒，就可以躺下來。我就想說來找找看有沒有這樣子的椅子。
我們走在路上，老公到處指著椅子，問我：這個可不可以？那個可不可以？我說這些椅子都不對，開始有些擔心，因為女兒還在發燒。
後來看到一個嬰兒車，我發現它雖然是小的嬰兒車，可是我推一下椅背，座位就變平的，女兒可以躺在上面，這讓我想起女兒小時候的嬰兒車，也有這功能。
我把座椅弄平，讓女兒躺下休息。我趕快找個毛巾被子幫她蓋著。女兒翻了翻身，很快就睡著了。她一直踢被子，我發現她的體溫好像恢復正常，那表示她有休息到，我就放心一些。
後來不知道為什麼，我們來到道場參加活動，我在常勳法師這一組。在我後面的像是三代同堂的家人，媽媽、外婆跟小孩。那是個年輕的媽媽，可是我覺得她很沒禮貌，一付自以為是的態度，讓人覺得不舒服。
我跟法師反應，說她的態度干擾人，而且會影響我孩子的安危。因為她們在常悟法師那一組，常勳法師說他會去跟常悟法師反應。常悟法師說他會處理。
常悟法師跟大家解說事情，接著請年輕媽媽家人起來。一開始這年輕媽媽以為因為她表現好，所以被叫起來，後來發現原來她要被分到單獨一組後，那個媽媽突然生氣抓狂，開始大鬧。還對我狂叫說：「我知道是你，就是你！」反正就是說是我害了她，她一定會報復。
我覺得她很失控，而且讓人反感，也沒有自我反省的能力。她鬧到連前立委沈富雄都出來說：「你知道你的行為有多誇張嗎？你自己要反省檢討。」
她們一家人被趕到外面。我還聽到這年輕媽媽跟她母親說，她這麼會表演，最適合好萊塢，她要帶著她們去好萊塢發展，會讓她們過好日子，要她們相信她。總之她的行為很誇張，在那裡吼著，而且很自私。
其實同時我也有點同情她，覺得她即使是個爛人，但她也是有夢想的，並沒有放棄她自己。我心想如果能控制她自己，並且把自身狀況調整好，也許她的夢想就有機會實現，而且不是像現在失控大鬧。
原來帶女兒來到道場，想說這裡是佛教場所，應該是個平靜的地方，女兒可以好好休息。
這個夢境可以被視為你潛意識多個層面的反映，重點在於照顧、控制、衝突和同理心等主題。讓我們來分解一下：
1. 抱著發燒的女兒
這代表了你的保護和養育本能。你對為女兒找到一個安全舒適的地方的關心，凸顯了你的責任感以及為親人創造一個安全環境的願望，即使在壓力或充滿挑戰的情況下也是如此。
用榮格的術語來說，你的女兒可能象徵著你的「內在小孩」——你自己可能感到脆弱或需要照顧的一部分。發燒可能代表未解決的情緒或壓力，需要關注和治療。
2. 尋找合適的椅子
尋找完美的椅子象徵著在不確定性中尋求解決方案。雖然你的丈夫提供建議，但他無法找到合適的選擇，可能反映出外部支援與你的內在需求不符。你堅持尋找「正確」的椅子，這表明你在處理重要事務時，對精確性和控制力的渴望。
具有平躺功能的嬰兒車的發現，可能意味著與過去提供舒適和解決問題的資源或記憶重新建立聯繫，這表明解決當前挑戰的方法，可能在於重新審視以前有效的方法。
3. 道場
道場代表一個庇護所或尋求和平與指導的地方。然而，這個看似平靜的空間中衝突的存在，揭示了外部干擾的可能性。這可能象徵著你在清醒生活中，面臨外在挑戰或困難的人時，尋求內心平靜的願望。
由不同法師（常勳和常悟）領導的群體的劃分，可能反映了你心靈中的二元性——一方尋求和諧，另一方則努力應對衝突或判斷。
4. 粗魯的年輕母親和她的家人
年輕的母親可能代表自我中心的原型，或者是你自己或生活中其他人未解決的陰影方面。她的破壞性行為和缺乏自我意識，可能象徵著你覺得令人沮喪或無法忍受的特質，無論是在別人身上還是在你自己身上。
你的反應——表達擔憂並尋求解決方案——表明你願意正面解決干擾。然而，這位年輕母親戲劇性的反應，也會引發你內心的同理心，因為儘管她的行為你了解她的掙扎和夢想。
用榮格的術語來說，這位母親可能象徵著你的影子——你自己抵抗或不贊成的部分。不管她的行為如何，你都能同情她，這可能表明你在個性化方面取得了進展，即你可以調和自己性格中的對立方面。
5. 好萊塢的渴望與爆發
這位年輕母親儘管行為混亂，但仍渴望在好萊塢獲得名譽和財富，這表明她渴望得到認可和轉變。這可能與你自己對取得成功，或應對外在壓力和社會期望的感受相呼應。
你觀察到，如果她獲得控制權，她的夢想就會實現。這暗示了個人見解：紀律和自我意識是將夢想變為現實的關鍵。
6. 回去照顧你的女兒
夢境以你女兒平靜地休息、發燒退去而結束。這項決議象徵著，儘管外部混亂，但你們的核心關注點——照顧親人並促進和平——仍然完好無損。它強化了這樣一個想法：當你解決內在和外在的挑戰時，療癒和平衡是可以實現的。
重點和反思
照顧和保護：即使在困難的情況下，你也會優先考慮你所關心的人的福祉。
內在與外在的挑戰：這個夢境強調了尋求內在平靜和處理外在衝突之間的緊張關係。
同理心與成長：儘管他人感到沮喪，但你可以同情他們的掙扎，這反映了個人成長和情緒智商。
自我反思：年輕母親的混亂行為和好萊塢的抱負，可能成為你自己的野心、挫折或夢想的一面鏡子，你正在努力與現實取得平衡。
這個夢境鼓勵你專注於培養你內在的孩子和你的外在關係，同時努力實現自我意識和情感平衡。
Ending 1: Peaceful Resolution
After the young mother’s family is asked to leave, she hesitates at the door and looks back at the monastery. Something about the peaceful atmosphere finally gets through to her. She approaches you quietly, apologizes for her earlier outburst, and expresses her struggles with feelings of inadequacy and desperation.
You accept her apology, offering a few kind words. She departs with her family, leaving the monastery in silence. The dream ends with your daughter waking up from her rest, smiling softly, her fever completely gone, as if the harmony restored around you has healed her as well.
Ending 2: Empowering Confrontation
As the young mother lashes out, you stand firm, calmly addressing her: “You have a chance to make things right—for yourself and your family. But your behavior now will only bring harm.”
Your words catch her off guard, and she hesitates before storming out with her family. Watching her leave, you feel a sense of empowerment for having stood your ground without resorting to anger. Your daughter stirs awake, her fever reduced, and the monastery returns to a state of tranquility.
Ending 3: Unexpected Reconciliation
Instead of lashing out, the young mother begins to cry when confronted. She admits that she feels judged and has been trying to prove herself her whole life. You feel a wave of compassion and reassure her: “Dreams are worth pursuing, but not at the expense of those around you.”
Her family embraces her, and they thank you for your honesty. The group dynamics shift, and the monastery becomes a place of understanding. You turn to find your daughter soundly asleep, her fever gone, as if the collective energy of peace and reconciliation has soothed her.
Ending 4: Transformational Insight
As the young mother’s family is escorted out, you notice her face filled with anger but also with determination. She turns to you and says, “I won’t forget this. But maybe... I’ll think about what you said.”
Later, during a quiet moment, you reflect on her words and realize they resonate with your own struggles to balance ambition and inner peace. The dream ends with a sense of mutual transformation—you recognizing the importance of self-control in achieving your goals and her realizing the need for reflection to move forward. Your daughter, now fully rested, opens her eyes, smiling peacefully.
This dream could be seen as a reflection of multiple layers of your subconscious, focusing on themes of caregiving, control, conflict, and empathy. Let’s break it down:
1. Holding Your Daughter with a Fever
This represents your protective and nurturing instincts. Your concern for finding a safe and comfortable place for your daughter highlights your sense of responsibility and the desire to create a secure environment for loved ones, even under stress or challenging circumstances.
In Jungian terms, your daughter could symbolize your "inner child"—a part of yourself that may feel vulnerable or in need of care. The fever could represent unresolved emotions or pressures that require attention and healing.
2. Searching for the Right Chair
The search for the perfect chair symbolizes the pursuit of solutions amidst uncertainty. While your husband offers suggestions, his inability to find a suitable option could reflect external support that doesn’t align with your inner needs. Your insistence on finding the "right" chair demonstrates your desire for precision and control when addressing important matters.
The discovery of the stroller with a reclining feature may signify reconnecting with past resources or memories that provide comfort and resolution, suggesting that solutions to current challenges might lie in revisiting what has worked before.
3. The Monastery
The monastery represents a sanctuary or a quest for peace and guidance. However, the presence of conflict within this seemingly tranquil space reveals the inevitability of external disruptions. This could symbolize your desire to find inner peace while being confronted with external challenges or difficult individuals in your waking life.
The division into groups led by different masters (Changxun and Changwu) might reflect the duality in your psyche—one side seeking harmony and the other grappling with conflict or judgment.
4. The Rude Young Mother and Her Family
The young mother may represent an archetype of self-centeredness or unresolved shadow aspects of yourself or others in your life. Her disruptive behavior and lack of self-awareness could symbolize traits that you find frustrating or intolerable, either in others or potentially within yourself.
Your reaction—voicing concerns and seeking resolution—indicates your willingness to address disturbances head-on. However, the young mother's dramatic response also triggers a sense of empathy within you, as you recognize her struggle and dreams despite her behavior.
In Jungian terms, this mother may symbolize your shadow—the parts of yourself you resist or disapprove of. Your ability to sympathize with her despite her actions could indicate progress toward individuation, where you reconcile opposing aspects of your personality.
5. Hollywood Aspiration and Outburst
The young mother’s ambition to achieve fame and fortune in Hollywood, despite her chaotic actions, suggests a longing for validation and transformation. This might echo your own feelings about achieving success or dealing with external pressures and societal expectations.
Your observation that her dreams could materialize if she gained control hints at a personal insight: discipline and self-awareness are key to turning dreams into reality.
6. Returning to Care for Your Daughter
The dream concludes with your daughter resting peacefully, her fever subsiding. This resolution symbolizes that despite external chaos, your core focus—caring for your loved ones and fostering peace—remains intact. It reinforces the idea that when you address your internal and external challenges, healing and balance are achievable.
Key Takeaways and Reflection
Caregiving and Protection: You prioritize the well-being of those you care about, even in difficult circumstances.
Inner and Outer Challenges: The dream highlights the tension between seeking inner peace and dealing with external conflicts.
Empathy and Growth: Despite frustrations with others, you can empathize with their struggles, reflecting personal growth and emotional intelligence.
Self-Reflection: The young mother’s chaotic behavior and Hollywood aspirations may serve as a mirror for your own ambitions, frustrations, or dreams that you are working to balance with reality.
This dream encourages you to focus on nurturing both your inner child and your outer relationships while striving for self-awareness and emotional balance.
