I had a dream where I, along with Emi (a client in real life), were part of an organization that took in orphans.
I prayed to the heavens, asking for a child, and the gods told me they would grant my wish. Before the wish came true, they showed me a picture.
The picture had some boxes, looking like an organizational chart. Emi and I were at the top of the chart, and below us were children, and then those children had their own children. The gods showed me this chart to reassure me that the organization would grow and expand.
Emi and I were sitting in a room when someone from the heavens asked me a question, seemingly about my childhood. I suddenly became enraged, feeling like an inner beast was about to break free.
At that moment, a Buddha appeared, gently pressed me down, and told me to calm down. The animals inside me that were about to break free suddenly became quiet and tamed.
Once I calmed down, the heavens told me they would send a pair of siblings to us for us to take care of.
Emi and I waited in the room, and sure enough, two children were brought to the organization.
These two children seemed to be orphans and reminded me of my real-life niece and nephew. They were a bit shy. Since Emi was stricter, I brought the children into a room, helped them settle in, and then took them to their classes.
At dinner, along with our supervisor, we held a small welcome party.
After the meal, the adults held a meeting to discuss various matters. I asked about a pink plush doll, wondering who was responsible for taking care of it.
It seemed like no one wanted to take care of the doll. Just as the supervisor was about to assign it to someone else, I volunteered and said I didn’t mind caring for it. I just wanted to make sure that if it was assigned to me, I would be the one to always look after it because I didn’t want to care for it temporarily and then have it reassigned to someone else.
The supervisor replied, “Why didn’t you say so earlier! It’s yours then.”
I held the doll and felt like it was my own child. I told the doll, “Alright, from now on, you’re with me!” It felt as though the doll had come to life because it hugged me tightly, as if it was happy to have found a home.
Regarding the two children, I asked Emi if she was responsible for supervising them. She said it should be her but wasn’t sure because the children were assigned to both her and another colleague, Cindy, so they might share the responsibility.
I knew Emi wanted to take care of the children, but since she lacked actual experience, she treated them more like adults, lacking the warmth and affection needed.
I went to check on the two children and saw that they were sleeping in a bunk bed, behaving very well. We all wanted to give them a sense of home. I told them, “I have a plush doll here, and you’re welcome to come play with me and the doll anytime.”
It felt like the world outside was chaotic, but the children were safer with us. I watched Emi carefully taking care of them.
夢見我跟惠美 (我現實生活中的客戶) 在一個組織裡，專門收容孤兒。
我跟天庭祈求我要小孩的願望，眾神說他們會答應我的請求。在願望實現之前，他們先給我看一張圖片。
這圖片上有一些方框，看起來像是組織圖。我跟惠美在組織圖最上面，接下來就是我們有小孩，小孩之後又有小孩。眾神給我看這組織圖，大概就是叫我放心，組織會擴充放大。
我和惠美坐在一個房間裡。天庭派人問了我一個好像是關於我小時候的問題，然後我就突然暴怒，感覺就像是我心裡面的野獸，就要衝出來。
這時候出現了一個佛，祂伸手按住我，叫我不要輕舉妄動。然後剛剛本來心裡那些要衝出來的動物，就突然安靜了下來，被馴服了。
天庭等我冷靜下來，跟我說他們會送一對姊弟到我們那邊，委託我們來照顧。
我和惠美在房間裡等，果然有人送來兩個小孩到組織這裡。
這兩個小孩好像是孤兒，有點像是我現實生活中的姪子姪女。他們有點害羞。因為惠美比較嚴格，我把小孩帶進房間，先幫他們安頓下來，再帶他們去上課。
晚上吃飯的時候，連同我們的主管，我們辦了一個小小的歡迎宴。
宴後我們大人開會討論事情。我問起有一個粉紅色絨布娃娃，我想知道它的責任歸屬，是誰要照顧這個布娃娃。
看來沒有人要照顧這個布娃娃。當主管正打算要分派出去給別人的時候，我主動說我不介意照顧它。我只是要確定如果將它分派給我，我就會一直照顧它。因為我不想照顧它一陣子以後，然後又重新分派給別人。
主管說：「早說嘛！那就分派給你。」
我抱著那個布娃娃，覺得它就像是我的小孩。我對娃娃說：「好啊！那以後你就跟著我囉！」感覺那個布娃娃有生命，因為它就抱著我，好像很開心，它找到了家。
關於那兩個小孩，我問惠美小孩是由她負責主管嗎？她說應該是，但又可能不是。因為小孩分派到她和另一位同事 Cindy 的課堂，所以可能會是由她跟 Cindy 共同照顧。
我知道惠美想要照顧小孩，但又沒有實際的經驗，所以對待小孩像大人一樣，少了那種溫柔愛心的感覺。
我去房間看那兩個小孩，他們睡在上下鋪，很乖。我們都想要給他們一種家的感覺。我跟他們說：「我這裡有個布娃娃，歡迎你們隨時來找我跟布娃娃玩。」
感覺外面的世界很不安，小孩來我們這裡比較安全。然後我就看著惠美，很用心地照顧他們。
這個夢似乎反映了關於責任、養育和照顧他人（尤其是兒童）的情感動態的深刻主題。以下是基於其關鍵要素的解釋：
1. 孤兒院和孩子們
孤兒的象徵意義：孤兒通常代表被遺棄、迷失或需要照顧的感覺。在夢中，你和惠美的任務是照顧這些弱勢兒童，這可能象徵著你在現實生活中渴望提供、保護或指導那些有需要的人。這可能反映了個人對養育的渴望，無論是對自己還是對他人。
與現實生活的聯繫（侄女和侄子）：孩子們讓你想起現實生活中的侄女和侄子，這表明你可能對年輕的家庭成員有一些保護感或擔憂。這也與家庭、安全以及給他們家的感覺等主題有關。
2. 祈求有孩子與組織圖
祈禱有孩子：向上天祈禱有一個孩子，可能代表了強烈的個人願望，無論是為了孩子，還是為了更深刻的傳宗接代感和生活的連續性。
組織圖：包含兒童和子孫後代的組織圖，可以象徵個人和職業成長的概念。這也可能會讓你放心，你生活中的事情正在朝著正面的方向發展，即使它們看起來並不明顯。
眾神的承諾：眾神向你保證一切都會如願，這可能是你的潛意識試圖安慰你，告訴你你想要的東西會及時到來。
3. 你的憤怒與佛陀的介入
未解決的情緒：有關你童年的問題引發的突然憤怒，可能反映了你過去未解決的感受或經歷。這可能表明你還沒有完全處理或治癒一些揮之不去的情緒緊張。
佛陀的介入：佛陀讓你平靜下來，表明你的生活中存在著一種智慧、和平和精神的力量，可能代表你內在的智慧，或當情緒高漲時，需要相信更高的力量。 「內心野獸」的平靜，表明即使在情緒激烈的時刻，平靜與平衡也是可以實現的。
4. 絨毛娃娃
關懷和純真的象徵：粉紅色的絨毛娃娃似乎象徵著天真、溫柔和需要照顧的東西，就像一個孩子一樣。透過自願承擔責任，你表明你願意對於脆弱的東西，像是小孩，甚至是你自己的情感需求，提供關懷與照護。
長期承諾的渴望：你對永久照顧娃娃的堅持，反映了你對生活穩定和長期承諾的強烈渴望。你要確保，如果你承擔了這個責任，那麼這個責任就是你要照顧的，而不是暫時的。
5. 惠美和她的角色
惠美的嚴格與你的溫暖：在夢中，惠美被視為嚴格的角色，而你則提供更多養育和關注孩子們的需要。這種對比可能象徵著你自己的一部分，感覺更有經驗或更有能力，以愛和同理心的方式照顧他人。它也可能反映你在現實生活中，如何看待他人的照護方式，尤其是與你自己的照護方式相比。
共同責任：惠美對與 Cindy 一起照顧孩子的不確定性，可能代表了你在現實生活中的矛盾心理，即在某些情況下，無論是在工作、家庭還是在人際關係中，界定由誰來承擔責任，這對你來說很重要。
6. 外面的世界和安全感
混亂的外在世界：外在世界不安全，表示你在外在環境中，感到不穩定或混亂，無論是在你的個人生活中還是在整個世界中。
組織內的安全：組織為孩童提供安全保護，可以象徵你作為他人和你自己的保護者的角色。面對外界的動盪，你正在創造一個避難所或安全空間。
7. 滿足兒童的需求
照護的慾望：你與孩子們的互動，尤其是你對給他們一種家的感覺的關注，表明了你對培養和關心他人的強烈渴望。這不僅反映了你對孩子的愛，也反映了你自己對情感安全、和平與愛的需求。
概括
夢境揭示了關懷、責任、情緒控制，以及外在混亂與內在平靜之間的對比等主題。它似乎反映了你對成長、培養人際關係，以及讓你感到安全和滿足的穩定環境的個人渴望。也可能存在對未解決的童年問題的潛在反思，讓你思考你是否準備好承擔新的責任（可能涉及孩子或家庭），以及你在混亂中創造安全和愛的空間的能力。
1. Ending of Personal Empowerment
After watching Emi care for the children, I realized that we each have our own way of nurturing, but mine was more aligned with love and empathy. I gathered the children and told them, "From now on, we are a family." The pink plush doll in my arms began to glow softly, symbolizing the bond we all shared. The children hugged me, and I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and fulfillment. The heavens smiled down upon us, and I knew that I was exactly where I was meant to be—both in the dream and in life.
2. Ending of Letting Go
As I observed Emi taking care of the children with her strict approach, I realized that I had been holding onto the idea that I was the only one who could provide the care they needed. I looked at the pink plush doll in my arms, which suddenly transformed into a butterfly. The butterfly fluttered around the room before flying out the window. I smiled, understanding that sometimes love means letting go and trusting others to care in their own way. I left the room, knowing the children were in good hands.
3. Ending of Reunion
As the night went on, I felt a deep connection forming between me and the two children. They came to me, holding the pink plush doll, and said, "We want to stay with you forever." I smiled, realizing that I had been granted not only the responsibility of caring for them but also the family I had always longed for. As we all hugged, the room filled with a warm, golden light, and I knew that the heavens had heard my prayer and granted me the family I was destined to have.
4. Ending of Transformation
While watching the children sleep, I suddenly noticed the world outside becoming even more chaotic and dark. I felt a deep pull inside me, as if the inner beast from earlier was returning. But instead of resisting, I embraced it. The energy inside me transformed, and I became a powerful guardian, with wings made of light. I stood at the entrance of the room, knowing I could protect these children from any harm. Emi looked at me in awe, and together, we vowed to safeguard this new family. The plush doll in my arms came to life, transforming into a real child, completing our family.
5. Ending of Collaboration
As we sat in the meeting after the welcome dinner, Emi and I were discussing how best to care for the children. Suddenly, I realized that I didn’t need to do this alone. I turned to her and said, "Let’s work together. You have your way, and I have mine. Together, we can give these children the best of both worlds." Emi nodded, and we both smiled. In that moment, the heavens opened, and a soft rain began to fall outside, washing away any tension. The children came running to us, laughing and playing, and we knew that by working together, we could create a true home for them.
6. Ending of Revelation
While holding the plush doll, I began to notice something strange. The doll started to speak, revealing itself as a messenger from the heavens. It told me, “These children are not just in need of your care—they are here to teach you.” Suddenly, I had flashes of my own childhood, moments where I felt abandoned or misunderstood. The doll whispered, “By caring for them, you will heal those parts of yourself.” I held the doll close, understanding that this journey was not just about giving, but also about receiving the healing I needed.
7. Ending of Uncertainty
After the meeting, I felt a strange tension in the air. Although I had volunteered to take care of the plush doll, and the children seemed safe with us, something felt unresolved. Emi approached me and said, “Are we really ready for this?” Her words echoed in my mind, and I looked at the children, who seemed both familiar and distant. I held the pink doll tighter, unsure if I could truly provide the care they needed. As the dream began to fade, I was left with a sense of uncertainty—wondering if I was prepared for the responsibilities ahead.
8. Ending of New Beginnings
As the night ended, we gathered the children and the plush doll, and we all sat together under the stars. The sky was clear, and the stars were brighter than I had ever seen them. One of the children asked, “What happens now?” I smiled and said, “This is just the beginning.” The plush doll began to glow, and suddenly, the children were filled with joy and laughter. In that moment, I realized that this new journey of caring, growing, and loving was the start of something beautiful, not just for the children but for all of us. The heavens above seemed to twinkle in agreement.
Each of these endings explores different emotional and psychological themes, offering alternate perspectives on growth, healing, responsibility, and self-discovery.
This dream seems to reflect deep themes about responsibility, nurturing, and the emotional dynamics of caring for others, especially children. Here's an interpretation based on its key elements:
1. The Orphanage and Children
Symbolism of Orphans: Orphans often represent feelings of being abandoned, lost, or in need of care. In the dream, you and Emi are tasked with caring for these vulnerable children, which could symbolize a desire in your waking life to provide for, protect, or guide those in need. This may reflect a personal longing for nurturing, either for yourself or others.
Connection to Real Life (Niece and Nephew): The children reminding you of your real-life niece and nephew suggests that you might have some protective feelings or concerns for younger family members. This also ties to themes of family, safety, and giving them a sense of home.
2. Prayer for a Child and the Organizational Chart
Prayer for a Child: Praying to the heavens for a child likely represents a strong personal desire, whether for children or for a deeper sense of legacy and continuity in your life.
The Organizational Chart: The chart with children and future generations could symbolize the idea of growth, both personally and professionally. It may also be reassuring you that things in your life are expanding in a positive direction, even if they don’t seem immediately apparent.
The Gods’ Promise: The gods reassuring you that everything will grow could be your subconscious trying to comfort you, telling you that what you want will come in time.
3. Your Rage and the Buddha’s Intervention
Unresolved Emotions: The sudden rage triggered by a question about your childhood might reflect unresolved feelings or experiences from your own past. This could point to some lingering emotional tension that you haven't fully processed or healed.
The Buddha’s Intervention: The Buddha calming you down suggests the presence of a wise, peaceful, and spiritual force in your life, possibly representing your inner wisdom or the need to trust in a higher power when emotions run high. The calming of the "inner beast" indicates that peace and balance are attainable, even in moments of intense emotion.
4. The Plush Doll
Symbol of Care and Innocence: The pink plush doll seems to symbolize something innocent, tender, and in need of care, much like a child. By volunteering to take responsibility for it, you show your readiness to commit to nurturing and providing for something fragile, possibly representing a child or even your own emotional needs.
Desire for Long-Term Commitment: Your insistence on taking care of the doll permanently reflects a deep desire for stability and long-term commitment in your life. You want to be sure that if you take on this responsibility, it will be yours to care for, not something temporary.
5. Emi and Her Role
Emi's Strictness vs. Your Warmth: In the dream, Emi is seen as strict, while you are more nurturing and attentive to the children’s needs. This contrast could symbolize a part of yourself that feels more experienced or equipped to care for others in a loving, empathetic way. It may also reflect how you perceive others' caregiving styles in real life, especially in comparison to your own.
Shared Responsibility: Emi's uncertainty about caring for the children alongside Cindy may represent ambivalence in your waking life about who should take responsibility in certain situations, whether at work, home, or in relationships.
6. The World Outside and Feeling Safe
Chaotic Outside World: The outside world being unsafe suggests feelings of instability or chaos in your external environment, either in your personal life or the world at large.
Safety Within the Organization: The organization providing safety to the children could symbolize your role as a protector, both for others and for yourself. You’re creating a sanctuary or safe space in the face of outside turmoil.
7. Meeting the Children’s Needs
Desire to Nurture: Your interaction with the children, especially your focus on giving them a sense of home, shows your deep desire to nurture and care for others. This could reflect not only your love for children but also your own need for emotional security, peace, and love.
Summary
The dream reveals themes of caretaking, responsibility, emotional control, and the contrast between external chaos and internal peace. It seems to reflect your personal desires for growth, nurturing relationships, and a stable environment where you can feel safe and fulfilled. There might also be underlying reflections on unresolved childhood issues, your readiness to take on new responsibilities (possibly involving children or family), and your ability to create a space of safety and love amidst chaos.
