Recently, Taiwanese media has been reporting on the internal conflict between DPP members Lai Ching-te and Cheng Wen-tsan. Surprisingly, my dream was related to this theme.
It felt like a modern palace drama set in a school, with various competitions taking place. Lai Ching-te and Cheng Wen-tsan were competing, while the other students remained neutral, not showing support for either side.
I remember passing through a forest during one of the competitions. Cheng Wen-tsan set some challenges, but Lai Ching-te managed to pass them all safely.
Then it was Lai Ching-te’s turn to set the challenges, and he was ruthless, using tactics aimed at killing Cheng Wen-tsan. However, he didn’t succeed.
At this point, we realized why Cheng Wen-tsan was only the crown prince, and the real emperor was Lai Ching-te. The students started flocking to Lai Ching-te, trying to curry favor. I thought to myself, “Oh no, I’ve been secretly helping Cheng Wen-tsan. Lai Ching-te is definitely going to seek revenge on me. I need to keep a low profile.”
Later, I saw a brown plate with dog food that Lai Ching-te had placed on the ground. He said to Cheng Wen-tsan, “Aren’t you hungry? If you want to eat, come eat from this plate.” It was quite humiliating.
After a while, Lai Ching-te noticed the food was still there, not eaten. He said, “Hey! Cheng Wen-tsan, are you not hungry or what?”
Lai Ching-te then forced him to eat a little, but Cheng Wen-tsan didn’t finish it. Lai Ching-te gave the remaining food to the dogs.
I felt the need to explain myself to Lai Ching-te quickly. I made up a reason, saying, “I was sick and resting at home. My family was performing a ritual, so we had some offerings. It might have seemed like I was being nice to Cheng Wen-tsan, but I was just giving him some of the offerings we had. Because I was sick, the offerings were simple and not luxurious.”
Lai Ching-te continued to pose difficult challenges, which Cheng Wen-tsan tried to pass off to us, the bystanders. We dodged them, and eventually, he stopped chasing us.
Later, Lai Ching-te discovered I was terminally ill with cancer and had been to a temple to pray for longevity. Since I was going to die soon, he didn’t hold any grudges against me.
I remember struggling to find the exit in the temple. I saw a monk who initially wanted to help me but then faced his own troubles, and everyone ended up trying to save themselves.
The scene shifted to a group of us young people with Cheng Wen-tsan in the forest. At that time, there were no conflicts, and he was just like a young person, camping outdoors with us by the campfire.
We started playing with drones. Our task was to practice operating drones.
I watched Cheng Wen-tsan training a drone to rotate and film. I thought it was so cool! I realized how different the things young people play with nowadays are.
Then I saw many drones in the air, rotating and filming. It was so cool!
最近台灣媒體都在報導民進黨賴清德與鄭文燦內鬥的新聞，想不到我的夢境和這主題也有關。
感覺像現代版宮廷劇，場景發生在學校，學校裡有各種比賽。賴清德與鄭文燦在比賽，同學們都維持中立，沒有刻意表現要跟誰。
我記得比賽時經過森林，鄭文燦出了一些題目，可是賴清德都危險過關。
後來換賴清德出題目，他比較狠，用一些招式，要來殺死鄭文燦，可是也都沒有成功。
這時候我們才明白難怪鄭文燦只是大阿哥，真正的皇帝是賴清德。同學們就開始紛紛去賴清德那邊拍馬屁。此時我就心裡想：「慘了，我一直偷偷在幫鄭文燦，賴清德一定會找機會來報復我，我得要低調一點。」
後來我看到一個咖啡色的盤子，賴清德放了狗食在盤子裡，放在地上，然後對鄭文燦說：「你不是肚子餓了，要吃東西？那就來盤子這裡吃。」反正就是還蠻羞辱人的。
過一會兒賴清德來看，怎麼東西還在，還沒吃完。他就說：「欸！鄭文燦，是不餓還是怎麼樣？」
然後賴清德主動餵食，逼鄭文燦吃。鄭文燦吃了一點，沒吃完。賴清德就把剩下的食物拿去給狗吃。
我心想要趕快去跟賴清德抒誠一下。我快速編了個理由，說「之前我生病了，在家養病。家裡有祭祀，所以有些供品。你會覺得我好像對鄭文燦好，其實我只是那時候家裡剛好有些東西，拿給他而已。因為我生病，拜的供品也很簡單，不是奢侈品。」
賴清德繼續出了很多難題，鄭文燦就想要丟給我們旁邊這些小嘍囉。然後我們就左閃右閃，沒有打到，到後來他也沒在追我們了。
賴清德後來發現我是癌症末期的病人，反正遲早會死亡，我有到廟裡去延壽，他對我就沒什麼恩怨問題了。
然後我記得我在廟裡找不到出口。看到法師，他本來要救我，可是他好像也有狀況，反正大家後來就是想辦法各自保命。
場景變成我們一群年輕人，和鄭文燦在森林裡，他那時也沒有糾紛，也像個年輕人，和我們一起在戶外營火露營。
我們玩起無人機。露營單位給我們的題目就是我們要練習操作無人機。
我看著鄭文燦在訓練無人機自轉拍攝，我覺得好酷喔！心想現在年輕人玩的東西，真的都很不一樣了。
然後我就看到很多無人機都在空中自轉拍攝，好酷！
對夢的解釋可能是高度主觀的，並受到個人經驗、情緒和想法的影響。然而，以下是對夢想的可能解釋：
媒體影響和時事：夢的背景，受到當前媒體有關政治衝突報導的影響，反映了你對最近新聞的潛意識處理。賴清德和鄭文燦的衝突，代表了你對政治鬥爭的認識或關注。
學校裡的現代宮廷劇：學校環境可能象徵學習和成長的地方，比賽代表生活的挑戰。宮廷劇方面，暗示著一種陰謀和權力動態的感覺，可能反映了你如何看待現實世界衝突的強度。
中立和聯盟轉變：學生的中立，表明他們猶豫不決，或希望避免在衝突中選邊站隊。最終轉向賴清德的聯盟，表明了與感知到的權力，或權威結盟的自然傾向。
森林與挑戰：森林可以象徵一段旅程，或一條充滿挑戰的道路。賴清德克服的鄭文燦的挑戰，可能代表你覺得別人（或你自己），正在用決心和技巧克服的障礙。
無情與生存：賴清德的無情策略，以及隨後實現的真正權力，可能象徵著競爭和生存的嚴酷現實。它可能反映了對在競爭環境中，被他人掩蓋，或擊敗的恐懼或焦慮。
羞辱和復仇：狗糧的羞辱場景，和對復仇的擔憂，反映了脆弱感和對報復的恐懼。這些可能源自於你過去感到受到不公平對待，或擔心自己行為後果的經驗。
解釋和證明自己的行為：你試圖向賴清德解釋你的行為，這表明你需要證明你的行為或決定是正當的，也許反映了理解和接受的願望。
絕症與接受：發現自己身患絕症並在寺廟尋求長壽，可能代表著對死亡更深的恐懼，以及對意義或救贖的渴望。由於即將死亡而沒有怨恨，表明接受命運，並專注於解決衝突。
寺廟與尋找出口：寺廟可能象徵著精神尋求或內省的地方。努力尋找出口，可能反映出被困，或尋找擺脫困境的出路的感覺。
年輕人與露營：鄭文燦和年輕人一起向無憂無慮的露營場景過渡，可能象徵著對更簡單、更純真的時代的渴望，沒有衝突和競爭。
無人機與現代科技：玩無人機代表對現代科技和新體驗的迷戀。它可能意味著探索新技能，並跟上當代趨勢的願望。
總的來說，你的夢想似乎將競爭、權力動態、脆弱性、死亡和對意義的追求等主題，編織在一起。它既反映了外在影響（如媒體報導），也反映了內在擔憂（如恐懼和慾望）。
Ending 1: Reconciliation and Unity
As the dream continues, Lai Ching-te and Cheng Wen-tsan realize that their competition is harming everyone around them. They decide to call a truce and work together for the betterment of the school. The students, seeing this change, are inspired and form a united front. The atmosphere shifts from one of conflict to one of cooperation, and everyone celebrates their newfound unity with a grand school festival.

Your newfound perspective brings peace to the school, and you become a respected advisor.
Ending 4: Technological Triumph
During the camping trip, you and the group of young people become so proficient with the drones that you create an incredible aerial show. The performance catches the attention of both Lai Ching-te and Cheng Wen-tsan, who are impressed and moved by the display of creativity and teamwork. They call off their feud, inspired by the potential of technology to bring people together. The school gains recognition for its innovative students.
Ending 5: Personal Redemption
Back at the temple, you find a hidden passage that leads to an ancient library. There, you discover a scroll that contains wisdom on resolving conflicts and healing relationships.

You feel a deep sense of fulfillment and peace, knowing you’ve made a significant difference.
Ending 6: Fantasy Escape
As the dream progresses, the forest around the school transforms into a magical realm. You and the students discover that you have special abilities. Using these newfound powers, you create a harmonious community where each person’s unique strengths are celebrated. Lai Ching-te and Cheng Wen-tsan, enchanted by this magical world, set aside their differences to protect and nurture this new paradise. The dream ends with everyone living happily in this fantastical setting.
Each of these endings provides a different perspective and resolution to the themes presented in your dream, offering various ways to interpret and explore its meaning.
Interpreting dreams can be highly subjective and influenced by personal experiences, emotions, and thoughts. However, here is a possible interpretation of your dream:
Media Influence and Current Events: The dream's setting, influenced by current media reports about political conflicts, reflects your subconscious processing of recent news. The conflict between Lai Ching-te and Cheng Wen-tsan represents your awareness of or concern about political struggles.
Modern Palace Drama in a School: The school setting might symbolize a place of learning and growth, with competitions representing life's challenges. The palace drama aspect suggests a sense of intrigue and power dynamics, possibly reflecting how you perceive the intensity of real-world conflicts.
Neutrality and Alliance Shifts: The neutrality of the students indicates a sense of indecision or the desire to avoid taking sides in a conflict. The eventual shift of alliances towards Lai Ching-te suggests the natural tendency to align with perceived power or authority.
Forests and Challenges: The forest could symbolize a journey or a challenging path. Cheng Wen-tsan's challenges that Lai Ching-te overcomes might represent obstacles you feel someone else (or yourself) is overcoming with determination and skill.
Ruthlessness and Survival: Lai Ching-te's ruthless tactics and the subsequent realization of his true power could symbolize the harsh realities of competition and survival. It might reflect fears or anxieties about being overshadowed or outmaneuvered by others in competitive environments.
Humiliation and Revenge: The humiliating scene with the dog food and the concern about revenge reflect feelings of vulnerability and fear of retribution. These could stem from past experiences where you felt unfairly treated or worried about the consequences of your actions.
Explaining and Justifying Actions: Your attempt to explain your actions to Lai Ching-te suggests a need to justify your behavior or decisions, perhaps reflecting a desire for understanding and acceptance.
Terminal Illness and Acceptance: Discovering you are terminally ill and seeking longevity at a temple might represent deeper fears about mortality and the desire for meaning or redemption. The lack of grudges due to impending death suggests an acceptance of fate and a focus on resolving conflicts.
Temple and Finding the Exit: The temple could symbolize a place of spiritual seeking or introspection. Struggling to find the exit might reflect feelings of being trapped or searching for a way out of a difficult situation.
Young People and Camping: The transition to a carefree camping scene with Cheng Wen-tsan and young people could symbolize a longing for simpler, more innocent times, free from conflict and competition.
Drones and Modern Technology: Playing with drones represents fascination with modern technology and new experiences. It might signify a desire to explore new skills and stay updated with contemporary trends.
Overall, your dream appears to weave together themes of competition, power dynamics, vulnerability, mortality, and the quest for meaning. It reflects both external influences (like media reports) and internal concerns (such as fears and desires).
