I dreamed I was working in an office when government officials came to the company and said my story qualified for a project grant. They told me that I just needed to submit a proposal to apply for funding.
I asked if they had any examples of proposals. They said there should be some available, but I decided I’d search for examples on Google myself.
While they were reviewing my documents, a woman arrived—it was my former friend, the "Captain" (from the dream diary Haunted House). She seemed like she wanted to help, but I refused her assistance outright. I remembered from past experiences that while she might start by helping, she would eventually try to control me. Though she looked a bit guilty, I repeatedly said “no” to decline her help because I didn’t want to be controlled.
Later, an older government official handed me a form and told me to provide an application proposal so they could proceed with the review.
Afterward, I went with a group of friends to dine at a highly recommended restaurant. The place was packed, and some friends left midway, saying they’d return later. When the servers came to clear the table, I told them my friends would be back.
The servers seemed uneasy, as it appeared a large party needed the space, and our table was taking up many seats. I asked if there was a minimum spending requirement, and they said there was, but we hadn’t reached it yet, making it hard to justify holding the seats.
While I was sitting there, I felt someone watching me. Turning around, I saw an old friend, Patricia. I went over to hug her and realized the restaurant was hers.
I said, “Your business is booming! The restaurant is full, and even the outdoor seating is packed.” I asked how she was doing. She said she was exhausted from running the business. I replied, “Having good business is still a blessing—it’s better than my career, which has ended.”
As we chatted, Patricia kept saying how tiring it was to manage the restaurant. I reassured her that her staff seemed responsible, attentive to diners’ needs, and provided good service.
Patricia then said she needed to use the restroom, so I accompanied her. She was inside, and I stood outside chatting with her. Customers were coming and going. She kept lamenting about how hard it was to sustain the business. I comforted her by saying at least it looked like business was good. She disagreed, saying there were times when not a single customer came in and that business was inconsistent. I empathized, sharing that my past business also fluctuated wildly, making it emotionally draining like a rollercoaster.
Later, the scene shifted to me having tea with another group of friends. I saw a couple with their elderly father, who had dementia. I greeted them warmly, and the elderly man was holding my baby (in infant form) tightly. I felt uneasy and said, “Uncle, I need to leave now,” wanting to take my baby back. However, he refused to let go until his daughter persuaded him.
Before leaving, I asked my friends how much the tea cost so I could contribute my share. They said, “50 cents.” I opened my wallet but couldn’t find a 50-cent coin no matter how hard I searched. They told me it was fine, but I insisted on paying.
After searching for a while, I found a large coin labeled “50 cents,” but it looked like an antique. I showed it to my friends, and they examined it for a while, asking, “Is this real money?” I said, “It should be—it seems like an old coin.” My friends asked if I was sure about giving it away instead of keeping it, as it might be valuable. I hesitated, realizing I didn’t want to part with it because its value probably exceeded 50 cents.
As I continued searching, I found another coin in my makeup bag and handed it to my friend’s younger brother. He looked at it and asked, “What kind of coin is this?” Honestly, I didn’t know either. It was a black coin with an image of a knight and the word *Jeil* engraved on it. It looked quite elegant.
I was determined to find regular money to get my two unique coins back. While rummaging through my bag, I found a wide white bracelet. Once beautiful, it was now scratched and dented from not being stored properly. Its surface was full of marks and discoloration, and I felt regretful seeing it damaged.
At the restaurant, performers began a show. A group of female dancers dressed in green cheongsams with feather fans performed a traditional peacock dance on a sloped stage. It was mesmerizing as they swayed gracefully, forming two circles with their feather fans fluttering before coming to a halt.
While everyone was applauding, the audience suddenly screamed. One of the dancers had slipped down the sloped stage. Laughing, we said, “You’re too skinny!” and helped her back to her position. I couldn’t stop giggling, saying, “You’re really too skinny!” Then I woke up.
夢見我在辦公室工作，有政府官員來到公司，說我的故事符合專案資格，只要提供計劃書，就可以申請經費補助。
我問他計劃書有範例嗎？他們說應該有。我想想沒關係，我自己到 Google 上面去找。
當他們在公司審核我的資料時，來了一位女生，她是我不再往來的前友人 "班長" (夢境日記 "鬼屋")。她看來想要幫我，可是我沒有要接受她的幫助，直接拒絕她。因為我想起之前的經驗，剛開始她說要幫我，後來發狠的時候，反過來要控制我。雖然她看來有點愧疚的樣子，我一直說「不用」來回絕她，因為我不想被她控制。
後來一位年長的政府官員就要我填表格，叫我提供申請計劃，他們就可以進行審核作業了。
接著我跟一群朋友來到一個推薦餐廳吃飯。餐廳生意很好，人很多。過程中有些朋友先離開，說他們待會會回來，我就在那裡等。服務生過來收桌子，我跟他們說我朋友會回來。
服務生看來面有難色，好像有大桌客人要來，我們併桌佔了很多位子。我問服務生這裡有最低消費嗎？他說有，不過我們的消費還沒滿低消，所以要保留這麼多位子有些困難。
我感覺有人在看我，轉頭看，是好久不見的朋友 Patricia。我過去擁抱她，才發現原來這是她的店。
我說：「生意很好呢！整個餐廳都是客人，還有人坐到外面。」我問她近況如何，她說很累，因為生意太好了。我說：「生意好其實是好事啊！不像我的事業都結束了。」
我們繼續聊天，她一直說撐這個店很累。我安慰她看來她請的服務生蠻負責任的，會盯著我們用餐進度，服務也不錯。
Patricia 說她要上廁所，我陪她到廁所。她在廁所裡面，我在外面繼續跟她聊天。客人進進出出。總之 Patricia 一直說她很累在撐這個店。我安慰她至少看來生意很好，是好事。她說沒有，有的時候連一個客人都沒有，生意並不穩定。我說我能理解。以前我的生意時好時壞，真的每天心情就像雲霄飛車，很耗心力。
後來場景變成我跟另外一群朋友去喝茶。我遇到一對好友夫妻，帶著他們失智的父親，我過去跟他們打招呼。老人家抱著我的小孩 (嬰兒版)，抱得很緊。我擔心小孩給老人家抱不安全，我說：「伯伯，我要走囉！」我想要把小孩抱回來，但他不願意放手。他女兒勸了好久，他才把小孩還給我。
我想離開，我問朋友茶資多少錢，我來分攤一些。他們跟我說 50 分 (50 cents)。我打開皮包，發現我怎麼找都找不到 50 分的銅板。他們說沒關係不用付了，我說：「不行，不行，我還是要付。」可是我找了半天，就是找不到 50 分的銅板。
我看到了一個很大的硬幣，上面寫著 "50 cents"，它看來像是舊硬幣。我拿給朋友看，他們看了半天就說看不懂，還問：「這是錢嗎？」我說應該是啊！我認為這是古錢。朋友問我確定要把這古錢給他們嗎？難道我不想收集嗎？我心想：「對啊！其實很捨不得這個古錢，因為它的價值肯定超過 50 分。」
我繼續翻我的化妝包找錢，又看到另一個銅板，我直接拿給朋友的弟弟。他看了看，問我這是什麼錢。其實我也不知道這是什麼錢。這是一個黑色的錢幣，上面有個騎士的圖案，寫著 "Jeil"，還蠻漂亮的。
我一直想要找到錢，把那兩個特別的錢幣換回來。我發現化妝包裡有個白色寬手環。它原本是漂亮的手環，但我沒有收好，被一些尖銳的東西刮傷了。上面傷痕累累，凹痕一大堆，有些顏色還被刮掉了，覺得好心疼。
然後餐廳那邊開始就有人表演。他們請了一些女性舞者，穿著綠色旗袍，手拿著羽毛扇，好像在跳傳統孔雀舞。我覺得很漂亮。
她們在斜坡的舞台上表演，最後圍成兩個圓圈，羽毛扇動啊動，在台上繞圈圈，最後停住。
本來大家在鼓掌，突然間全場尖叫起來，原來是在斜坡舞台上的其中一個舞者滑了下來。我們大笑說：「你太瘦了啦！」我們趕快扶她回原來舞台的位置。我一直笑說：「妳真的太瘦了！」就醒了...

1. Empowering Ending
As the performance on the stage concluded, the applause grew louder. The dancer who slipped earlier returned to the stage with a confident smile, bowing gracefully to the audience. I found myself inspired by her resilience, realizing that life, like her performance, isn’t about perfection but about getting back up. I left the restaurant feeling a renewed sense of strength, ready to face my own challenges with the same grace.
2. Reflective Ending
After the dancer slipped and everyone laughed, I noticed her laughing along with us. She looked at me and said, "Mistakes are just part of the dance." Her words echoed in my mind as I walked out of the restaurant, realizing that even in my struggles and imperfections, there was beauty and growth. I felt lighter, knowing it was okay to stumble as long as I kept moving forward.
3. Whimsical Ending
As the applause faded, the restaurant transformed into a grand ballroom, and the dancers invited the audience to join them. I found myself spinning and laughing, dancing freely without worrying about perfection. The coins in my pocket jingled as I moved, and I realized they had turned into sparkling gems. I woke up smiling, feeling a sense of magic and joy lingering from the dream.
4. Resolute Ending
After the dancer slipped, the performance continued, and the audience cheered louder to encourage her. Inspired, I returned to my seat and decided to hold on to my unique coins, realizing their true value wasn’t monetary but symbolic of my journey. As I left the restaurant, I felt a newfound clarity about the importance of cherishing what’s truly meaningful to me.
5. Serene Ending
The performance ended with the dancers forming a serene, still tableau, their fans elegantly framing their poses. As the lights dimmed, I noticed the damaged bracelet on my wrist begin to glow softly, its scars transforming into intricate patterns. I looked at it and felt at peace, understanding that flaws could become part of something beautiful. The dream faded as a sense of calm and acceptance washed over me.
Each ending brings a different message or mood, from empowerment to reflection or whimsy. Let me know which one resonates with you most!
This dream seems to touch on themes of independence, past relationships, resourcefulness, emotional resilience, and the pursuit of balance in life. Here's a detailed interpretation:
1. The Government Officials and Project Proposal
Symbolism: The government officials may represent authority, structure, or opportunities coming your way. The requirement to submit a proposal symbolizes taking ownership and presenting your abilities to others.
Meaning: This suggests you're in a phase where you're being recognized for your potential, but success requires effort and initiative. Your choice to search for proposal examples yourself instead of relying on others shows your resourcefulness and self-reliance.
2. The Former Friend (“Captain”)
Symbolism: The former friend represents a past relationship where trust was broken or boundaries were crossed.
Meaning: By refusing her help, despite her apparent remorse, you’re asserting your independence and learning from past experiences. This reflects personal growth and a commitment to protecting your emotional well-being.
3. Patricia and the Restaurant
Symbolism: Patricia and her bustling yet inconsistent restaurant could symbolize the duality of success and its challenges. The restaurant might reflect your perception of balance between external appearances (success) and internal struggles (stress and exhaustion).
Meaning: Your conversation with Patricia may represent your own thoughts on career and life stability. While you acknowledge the difficulties of maintaining success, you also find value in resilience and recognize the ups and downs in your own experiences.
4. The Elderly Man and the Baby
Symbolism: The elderly man’s tight hold on your baby could symbolize situations or people that make you feel restricted or uneasy, especially regarding something precious to you (the baby representing a new idea, project, or personal growth).
Meaning: This reflects your concern about maintaining control over your priorities and the need to diplomatically navigate such situations to protect what matters to you.
5. The Coins and Struggle to Pay
Symbolism: The old coins symbolize something of greater value than their surface worth—perhaps hidden talents, memories, or lessons from the past. Your hesitation to give them up reflects an awareness of their deeper significance.
Meaning: This suggests you’re grappling with the tension between practical responsibilities (the need to "pay") and your desire to preserve or honor things that are meaningful to you. It highlights your mindfulness about what you prioritize.
6. The Damaged Bracelet
Symbolism: The bracelet represents beauty and potential that have been worn down by neglect or external forces.
Meaning: This might be a reminder to better care for something important to you, whether it’s a relationship, skill, or personal well-being. It reflects regret over missed opportunities but also an awareness to take corrective action moving forward.
7. The Peacock Dance and Slipping Dancer
Symbolism: The peacock dance symbolizes grace, beauty, and harmony, while the slipping dancer brings humor and imperfection into the scene.
Meaning: This suggests an appreciation for beauty and effort, coupled with an acceptance of human vulnerability. It could be a reminder not to take yourself too seriously and to embrace the lighter, imperfect moments in life.
Overall Themes
Independence and Boundaries: You are standing firm in your decisions and learning to navigate relationships with a strong sense of self.
Emotional Resilience: The dream reflects your awareness of life's ups and downs, whether in career, relationships, or personal growth.
Resourcefulness and Preservation: You’re valuing your unique qualities and experiences and recognizing their worth.
Balance: The dream suggests finding harmony between effort, success, and emotional well-being, while maintaining control over what’s precious to you.
This dream might be encouraging you to stay confident in your ability to handle challenges, protect your boundaries, and cherish the meaningful aspects of your life while embracing imperfections.
