I dreamed that I was wearing my high school uniform along with a black jacket and black skirt, carrying a schoolbag, heading to a terminal MRT station. In the dream, I felt like I had been to this station before; it felt familiar.
I heard the MRT train approaching, so I hurried down to the basement, which was a white space. I saw the first carriage and quickly boarded, finding a seat.
Then, I heard an announcement saying the train wouldn't depart for another 30 minutes. I thought, "Huh? What? Is this train just resting at the station?" I also wondered, "But wait, haven't I taken this train before?" If this train is resting, I’ll be late for class.
Another train arrived—it was the one actually departing—so I quickly switched to that train. For some reason, this train kept braking repeatedly, making it hard for me to stand.
That's when I suddenly realized: I thought I was carrying a schoolbag, but it was actually a handbag! I panicked, thinking, "Oh no! How am I going to go to class without my schoolbag?" I was swinging the handbag, almost dropping it, and trying to hold onto it tightly.
I noticed someone in the train looking at me, and behind me was another student from my school. She realized I wasn’t carrying a schoolbag. I tried to stay calm, thinking, "I could just say I left my books at school, so I don’t need a schoolbag."
Then, I overheard someone telling that student not to follow me, saying that I’d bring bad luck to them and prevent them from finding their way out. I had a feeling they were talking about me, but I didn’t understand why they were following me in the first place.
Meanwhile, the MRT kept swaying, like riding a bus. But I couldn’t stop thinking, “How am I going to attend class today without a schoolbag or my books?”
Suddenly, I became Sun Wukong from *Journey to the West.* I plucked a hair from my body and made a wish. The Earth God appeared, and I asked to turn into a table to get to class quickly, because I was going to be late. It felt like I was stuck in this endless loop in the dream, unable to find my way out. It was as if the actor Huang An and an old scholar had cast a spell on me, trapping me in this loop.
I remembered that I was supposed to join a protest and show my support, but I was stuck in the train. Even though the train eventually started moving, I wasn’t sure where it was headed. I figured it was probably going to school since I was in my uniform, but then I realized again that I had forgotten my schoolbag. How could I attend class without my books?
I kept thinking: My grades are already bad, and I can’t even remember what’s in the textbooks. People are going to find out that I don’t know anything—my memory is poor, my grades are bad, and I have no real ability.
夢見我穿著高中校服，還有黑外套、黑裙子，背著書包，要去一個捷運底站搭車。夢中覺得這個底站很熟悉，我以前來過。
我聽到捷運列車來了，趕快往地下室跑，這是一個白色的空間。我看到第一節車廂，趕快進去，然後找位子坐。
此時聽到廣播說列車 30 分鐘後才會出發。我心想：「蛤！什麼？這列車是回站休息？」我又想：「不對啊！我以前也是搭這班車啊！」但如果這列車要休息，那我上課就會遲到了。
我看到又有列車來，它是出發車，我趕快換車。這列車不知道為什麼，就一直煞車又煞車，讓我站不穩。
此時我突然發現：我以為我背的是書包，結果竟然是一個皮包。我想說：「慘了！上課沒有書包怎麼辦？」我背著那個皮包晃啊晃，它快掉了。我還一直抓著它，怕它掉了。
我看到車廂裡有人在看我，原來我後面也有一個同校的學生。她注意到我沒有書包。我故作鎮定，想說我也可以說我把書留在學校，所以我不用背書包。
此時我聽到有人跟那位同學說，叫她不要跟著我走，說我會帶衰她們，會讓她們走不出去。我感覺她是在說我，可是我不知道她們要跟著我幹嘛。
反正捷運列車就一直晃，像坐公車那樣子晃。不過我心裡還是一直在想：「今天沒有書包、沒有書，要怎麼上課？」
然後我變成是西遊記的悟空，我拔了一根身上的毛，許個願，土地公出現。我說我要變出一張桌子趕去上課，因為我快要遲到了。感覺我在這個夢裡面就是一直繞啊繞，繞不出去。好像我被演員黃安跟一位老學者施了法術，反正就是讓我繞了半天繞不出去。
我想起我本來是要去參加一個抗爭活動，要去聲援。可是我被困在車廂裡面，雖然後來車子有移動，可是我又不確定這列車要去哪裡，應該是要去學校，因為我穿著制服。可是又發現我忘了帶書包。沒有書，要怎麼上課？
我心想：我成績又不好，又記不得書本裡面的內容。這樣子會被別人發現我根本什麼都不會。記性差、成績也不好，根本沒有實力。
Here are several more creative alternative endings for your dream, each exploring different emotional and thematic resolutions:
1. Reconciliation Ending:
Just as the train continues to sway, and you're anxious about your missing backpack, you stop and take a deep breath. You look around and realize that the student behind you, who noticed your lack of a backpack, isn't judging you. In fact, she approaches you and offers to share her books. You accept her offer, feeling a wave of relief. The train suddenly stabilizes, and you both walk together off the train. When you arrive at school, you realize that your fears of inadequacy were unfounded. You’re not alone—help and understanding are always available if you open yourself up to it.
2. Time Travel Ending:
As the train keeps shaking and you're fretting over your missing backpack, the train suddenly speeds up and blasts through time. You find yourself back in the past, before you left for school, standing in your room with your backpack on the floor. You realize you have a second chance. This time, you calmly pick up your backpack and walk out, knowing you have everything you need. As you board the train again, everything feels peaceful and in control. The dream ends with you feeling empowered, knowing that mistakes can be corrected and that you hold the power to change your future.
3. Mentorship Ending:
Just as the confusion and anxiety build, an older version of yourself suddenly appears on the train, sitting across from you. She smiles reassuringly and says, "It’s okay to feel unprepared sometimes, but remember how far you’ve come." She hands you a symbolic object, like a notebook, and tells you that it contains everything you’ve learned so far. You flip through it and see that even though there are missing pages, the notes you’ve written are filled with wisdom and experiences. The train stops swaying, and you step off together, with a renewed sense of self and understanding that you’re constantly growing.
4. Dream Hero Ending:
As the train becomes increasingly chaotic, you suddenly stand up and decide to take control of the situation. Channeling the power of Sun Wukong again, you summon the Golden Cudgel from thin air. With a swift movement, you strike the floor of the train, and everything immediately stabilizes. The passengers cheer, and the train speeds toward your destination. When you arrive at school, you walk into the classroom confidently, realizing that no matter how chaotic life gets, you have the power to bring order and achieve your goals. The dream ends with you feeling like a hero in your own journey.
5. Mirror Reflection Ending:
As the train continues to shake, you find yourself standing in front of a large mirror that suddenly appears in the carriage. In the reflection, you see both yourself as a student and Sun Wukong. The two figures slowly merge, and you realize that both versions of yourself—human and mythical—are part of who you are. You smile at the reflection, understanding that you have both the grounded qualities of the student and the resourcefulness of Sun Wukong. The mirror shatters into light, and you find yourself at school, calm and prepared, knowing that you carry both wisdom and strength within you.
6. Illusion Dissolved Ending:
As the train sways and your panic rises, you suddenly realize that none of this is real—it’s an illusion. You take control of the dream, and the shaking stops. The other passengers, the student behind you, and even the train itself dissolve like mist. You find yourself standing in a peaceful field, with nothing but calm and blue skies around you. You take a deep breath, and in your hand, you hold a small stone with an engraving that says, “You already have everything you need.” You walk forward, free from the burden of anxiety, ready to face the world with newfound clarity.
7. Alternate Reality Ending:
Just as the train seems about to spiral out of control, it suddenly stops, and you step off into a strange alternate world—a school where everything is different. Here, no one needs backpacks, and all knowledge is shared freely. You see that everyone, including yourself, can learn at their own pace, and there’s no pressure or judgment. You spend the rest of the dream exploring this new reality, feeling peaceful and free. You eventually find your way back to the “normal” world, but with a new understanding that life doesn’t have to follow rigid rules, and there’s no need to fear being unprepared.
8. Infinite Possibilities Ending:
Instead of switching to another train, you suddenly realize that the swaying train is taking you on a journey through different possibilities in life. Each time the train shakes, a new potential path appears outside the windows—one where you become an artist, another where you’re a scientist, and another where you lead a protest. As you watch, you understand that life is full of infinite possibilities and that no one path is perfect. The train eventually stops, and you step out, feeling at peace with the idea that whichever direction you choose, you have the strength and adaptability to thrive.
9. Resilience Ending:
As the dream nears its most chaotic moment, you stand up and decide not to switch trains or panic about the backpack. Instead, you tell yourself, “I can handle this.” The train stabilizes gradually, and you focus on maintaining your balance. Even though the journey is still bumpy, you manage to stay upright. When the train finally stops, you walk off with a sense of resilience, knowing that even in moments of chaos or uncertainty, you have the strength to keep going. You head to class, unbothered by the lack of a backpack, realizing that your true strength lies in your ability to stay grounded through life’s challenges.
10. Unexpected Solution Ending:
Just as you're about to lose your grip on the handbag, an unexpected figure—a friendly teacher—boards the train. They hand you a magical notebook that contains all the answers and resources you need. The teacher reassures you that it’s okay not to have everything figured out. The train’s shaking stops, and everything becomes calm. You reach school, no longer worried about your missing backpack or books, because you now have a guide. The dream ends with you walking into the classroom, confident that you have the support and tools to succeed, even when things don’t go as planned.
Each of these new endings offers a different resolution—ranging from support from others, inner wisdom, magical intervention, and even the realization that not everything has to go according to plan.
