I dreamed that I met up with my former colleague Sonny on Zhongxiao East Road. It seemed like we still had some business to wrap up regarding the company’s closure. We stood by a bus stop, surrounded by crowds of pedestrians, and quickly finished discussing the matter. The sky was starting to get dark.
Casually, I asked, “Last time I gave you my birth chart—did you get a chance to look at it?” It felt like, in a previous dream, I had asked Sonny to read my Zi Wei Dou Shu chart. He had started explaining it but didn’t finish, so now I was following up.
He briefly commented on my romantic prospects. I thought, "At this age, who even prioritizes romance anymore?"
Then he began talking about my career trajectory. I said, “Let’s skip the past—just tell me what the future looks like!” Sonny replied bluntly, “There’s nothing.”
Surprised, I said, “Huh? Nothing? Aren’t there still some future trends or developments?” I pressed, “Do you mean it’s... not looking great?” He nodded. I sighed, “Ugh, that bad?”
Since we had nothing else to talk about, I said goodbye to Sonny and started walking toward the MRT entrance behind him.
As I passed a restaurant, I caught a glimpse of another former colleague, Olivia, sitting inside—as if she were waiting for Sonny. I pretended not to see her and kept walking. Just as I entered the underground MRT station, I suddenly remembered I had forgotten to ask Sonny something, so I turned around and went back up.
I found Sonny and added a few more comments. After that, I turned and walked toward the MRT entrance to my right. Apparently, Olivia thought our conversation was already over and had stepped out of the restaurant, only to find me talking to Sonny again. I saw her standing not far away, waiting, but she didn’t seem like she wanted to say hi. As I walked off, I noticed her walking toward Sonny. I pretended not to notice her and just kept heading toward the station.
I kept walking, knowing Sonny and Olivia were behind me, going in the same direction. I didn’t look back.
Then I found myself on one of those fast-moving walkways inside the station. The walkway sped forward until it reached a three-way junction. I chose the right path and continued. Then I reached another fork—again, I took the right path and noticed Sonny and Olivia were still behind me, heading the same way.
The moving walkway carried me to yet another fork, and once again, I chose the path on the right—but this time, I saw that they had taken the left one.
I kept going forward and soon realized I had taken the wrong path—I should’ve gone left. I thought, “I messed up last time, and now I did it again?” Before long, I exited the MRT station.
I thought to myself, “Wait, I was supposed to take the train, not leave the station!”
A building security guard stopped me and said, “You have to go out first. There’s a staircase nearby—you can go back down from there.” The sky still looked bright. I saw a woman nearby and decided to follow her. She walked down the stairs and entered through a side door.
I thought, “Huh? Is this the right way?” and followed her. But somehow, after walking and walking, I ended up back at the same MRT exit from earlier.
I saw the guard again and told him, “I’m trying to get into the MRT station, not leave it.”
He replied, “Then just give me 10 dollars—I’ll open the gate and let you in from here. You won’t have to go around again.”
I dug through my purse and pulled out a large coin, which I accidentally dropped. Then I found a smaller coin. The guard looked closely at the coins, as if checking whether I was trying to use a foreign one. After confirming the currency was valid, he asked for a 5-dollar coin as well. Then he opened the gate and said, “Alright, just go in from here—you don’t have to walk all the way around again.”
I stepped inside—and then I woke up.
夢見和前同事 Sonny 約在忠孝東路碰面，好像還有一些公司結束營業善後的事情要談。我們直接站在公車站牌那邊談，旁邊還有熙來攘往的行人。事情很快就講完，天看來也快黑了。
我隨口問「上次我給你我的命盤，你幫我看了沒？」感覺好像我在前一個夢境，有問 Sonny 我紫微命盤的事，他解說了一下，但沒講完。所以現在我又繼續追問。
他大概和我講了一下我的感情走向，我心想「現在這個年紀，誰重點還放在感情上？」
他繼續講事業的走向，我說「過去的就不用講了，直接講我未來的發展走勢吧！」Sonny 直接說「沒了！」我驚訝說「蛤？沒了嗎？不是還有運勢發展嗎？」我繼續追問「意思是 "不怎麼樣" 嗎？」他點點頭。我嘆口氣「蛤！這麼慘？」
因為沒什麼事好講了，我和 Sonny 拜拜，就往他身後方向的捷運入口走過去。
經過一間餐廳，正好撇見另一位前同事 Olivia 坐在裡面，像是在等 Sonny。我假裝沒看見她，繼續往前走。走進捷運站地下道入口，突然想起還有事情忘了問 Sonny，我又再往上走出捷運站。看到 Sonny，我補充講一些事情。
講完了，我就往右手方向捷運站入口走去。大概剛才 Olivia 以為我和 Sonny 已經講完事情，她就從餐廳出來，沒想到我突然回頭再問事情。我看到 Olivia 站在不遠處稍等，沒有要過來打招呼的意思。等我離開時，我看到 Olivia 朝 Sonny 走去，我就假裝沒看到她，繼續往捷運站走。
我一直往前走，我知道 Sonny 和 Olivia 他們在我身後，也朝同一個方向走。但我沒回頭，繼續走。
接著，我像是在車站內的電動步道走著。步道移動得很快，來到一個三叉口，我選了右邊的步道，繼續前進。然後又來到一個雙叉口，我又選了右邊的步道，我發現 Sonny 和 Olivia 他們還在我的後面，朝著相同的方向走。
電動步道移動得很快，我又來到一個叉路，又選了右邊的步道，但這次我看到他們就從左邊的步道，走了。
我繼續往前走，結果我發現我選錯了，我剛剛應該要選左邊的步道才對。我心想「我上次就走錯了，怎麼這次還是走錯？」沒多久，我就出捷運站了。
我心想「不對啊！我是要去搭捷運啊！我是要進去，不是要出來。」
大樓管理員叫住我，說「你先出來，旁邊有個樓梯，你從那裡再下去。」這時候感覺天空還是亮的。我看到有個婦人，就跟著她走。走下樓梯，看到旁邊有個門口，她就從門口進去了。
我心想「欸？是這樣子嗎？」然後我就跟著她走。沒想到這樣走啊走，怎麼又回到剛剛那個搭捷運出口。
我又看到管理員，我跟他說「我是要進去捷運站，不是要出來。」
後來他就說「那你給我 10 塊錢，我就打開柵門，直接讓你從這邊進去，你就不用再去繞一圈了。」
我從皮包裡掏出一個大銅板，銅板掉到地上，我從皮包再掏出一個小銅板。管理員很仔細看著我給他的銅板，好像是想看清楚我是不是拿別的國家硬幣來蒙混。後來他確認這是可用的貨幣後，再跟我拿了一個 5 塊硬幣。他打開柵門，跟我說「好啦！那你從這裡直接進去，就不用這樣子再去繞一圈了。」
我進去，然後我就醒了…
Here is a transformed ending for your dream, designed in line with Jungian principles—especially individuation, symbolic integration, and healing the tension between logic and intuition:
🌈 Transformed Ending: The Left Turn to Myself
Just as I realize I’ve taken the wrong path again, I stop on the moving walkway. The station doesn’t spit me out this time—I pause.
Instead of rushing forward, I close my eyes. A soft inner voice whispers:
「試著往內看，不要只是往外找答案。」
("Try looking inward, not just outward for answers.")
I turn around.
The crowd vanishes. The lights dim slightly, not in darkness, but in quiet.
I walk back to the fork where I chose right—this time, I choose left.
The left path leads into a softly lit tunnel. Strange symbols float along the walls—constellations, flowing rivers, blooming flowers. It’s unfamiliar, but warm.
At the end of the walkway, a door slides open. Inside is a quiet library bathed in amber light. On a table sits my Zi Wei Dou Shu chart, now glowing with shifting symbols. But instead of Sonny interpreting it, I see a reflection of myself seated calmly, smiling.
She says:「你的命盤，不是命運的限制，而是靈魂旅程的提示。」
("Your birth chart isn’t a limit—it's a guide to your soul’s journey.")
I sit down across from her. We don’t need to speak much. Just sitting together feels like something has clicked.
Outside the library, I hear the familiar rumble of the MRT—but this time, it’s arriving for me.
I board the train with ease. No gates, no coins, no confusion.
As the train speeds into the depths, I feel it clearly: I am not lost—I’m finally going inward, exactly where I’m meant to go.
🌙 Dream Interpretation
Dream Title: The Right Path That Leads Me Out
*Dreamer meets with a former colleague to resolve unfinished business, seeks guidance about destiny, repeatedly chooses the "right" path but ends up in the wrong place.
🌀 Key Symbols & Their Meanings (Jungian Lens)
Former Colleagues (Sonny & Olivia) – These may symbolize parts of your past professional identity. Sonny, who once provided guidance (astrology), might represent the rational advisor or inner analyst. Olivia, waiting silently, could embody a passive or observing part of yourself, connected to judgment, comparison, or relational dynamics.
Zi Wei Dou Shu Chart / Destiny Reading – This represents your search for meaning and direction, especially regarding your future. Sonny’s blunt message of “nothing” or “not great” in terms of your future may reflect internal fears about your creative or career path, possibly echoing doubts others have voiced about your "dream world."
Public Spaces (Bus Stop, MRT Station) – These transitional spaces mirror life crossroads or in-between phases. The chaotic environment and multiple directional choices echo feelings of being lost or overwhelmed by decisions.
The Repeated Right-Turns – Choosing the "right" (literal and moral) path, but ending up in the wrong place, suggests an ego-driven reliance on logic or familiar strategies that no longer serve you. Jung calls this the one-sidedness of consciousness—the need to integrate the "left" (symbolic of the unconscious or feeling side).
Ticket Gate / Toll – The need to pay to enter the right path again may signify the price of insight, transformation, or psychological integration. Gaining access to the correct route requires investment—perhaps in time, emotional honesty, or even financial commitment to your path.
Security Guard – A gatekeeper archetype, possibly the Self or inner authority, who offers a shortcut after verifying your “currency.” He might suggest that when you're authentic (offering real currency), the psyche makes way for progress.
🔮 Psychological Themes
The Fear of an Empty Future: Sonny’s message about having “nothing” ahead may reflect your fears that your creative project is pointless or unrecognized, despite your deep commitment.
Direction & Autonomy: Constantly walking ahead, never looking back at Sonny or Olivia, shows a desire to move forward independently, but also highlights a disconnect from collaborative or relational energies. The choice to always go right may reflect a habitual need to "do what’s right" rather than what feels right.
Cycles & Repetition: Ending up at the same MRT exit again despite your efforts mirrors life patterns that keep repeating, possibly echoing frustrations with your rebuilding process or emotional loops.
🌱 Individuation Journey Insight
This dream reflects a pivotal individuation moment. You're trying to move forward (into the unconscious depths via the MRT), but old patterns (taking the “right” path, rational questioning, ignoring intuitive signs like Olivia) pull you back. You are being invited to integrate new ways of navigating life—not by logic alone, but by intuition, feeling, and trust in the unconscious.
Your psyche hints that there's no shortcut to integration, yet paradoxically, the moment you offer something real (the correct coins), the path opens. The dream ends with a movement inward again—suggesting a readiness to go deeper, even after feeling lost.
✨ Closing Reflection
This dream may be a compassionate reminder: You’re not lost—you’re learning to listen to a deeper map. What feels like wrong turns are sometimes just lessons in letting go of outdated strategies. Even when the road seems empty or uncertain, your willingness to question, return, and try again is a sign of strength—not failure.
