I dreamt that it was a sunny afternoon, and after attending an event, I was heading to my car.
As I walked along the road, I crossed a street. After crossing, I looked back and saw that the other pedestrians, who had been waiting at the intersection with me, were just starting to cross. That’s when I realized—I had run a red light! I thought to myself, “Wow, that was dangerous! Luckily, no cars were coming from the other side.”
I continued walking. My car was parked in an underground parking lot behind a building. This building was situated on an irregularly shaped plot of land, making the structure itself not perfectly rectangular. Its layout was more like an elongated rhombus—narrower at both ends and slightly wider in the middle. Behind the building, there was also a park. It seemed like the landowner had made use of the space to create an underground parking lot, and my car was parked there.
When I went to retrieve my car, many other people were also picking up theirs. The landowner’s daughter-in-law told me to wait. After finishing up with the other customers, she finally got to me and told me the parking fee was $1,945. I initially misheard it as $945, and even at that price, I already found it expensive. I regretted not picking up my car the night before. Then she corrected me, “No, it’s actually $1,945!” I thought, “Wow, that’s even worse!”
I pleaded with her to lower the fee, and after some thought, she agreed to charge me $1,005 instead, explaining that my car was parked deep inside. Even if I had come the day before, she wouldn’t have been able to give me my car because it was blocked by other vehicles.
I had already handed her $1,000, so I opened my wallet to find an extra $5. In the process, I accidentally dropped some money on the ground. I quickly picked it up and gave it to her. She told me to wait while she found someone to get my car.
As I sat there waiting, I looked around and commented to the landowner’s daughter-in-law, “This place isn’t a regular shape.” She replied, “That’s right!” It seemed that since the land was small and irregularly shaped, rebuilding it would reduce the usable space even more, so they had no choice but to make do with what they had.
I thought to myself that since the land was small, the underground parking lot probably couldn’t hold many cars. Curious, I asked her where the entrance was, but she didn’t answer. She just mentioned that they had organized the space—though the above-ground building still looked irregular and old, and the park remained, the underground parking area seemed to be quite large.
As I waited, I suddenly felt a bit cold. The landowner’s daughter-in-law handed me a pink jacket. I looked at myself and, for some reason, I realized that I had been wearing a short-sleeved outfit earlier, but now I was in a long-sleeved dress and barefoot. Beside me was a pair of white high heels. I looked at the soles of my feet—they were a bit dirty. I thought, “I should wipe them with a wet tissue before putting on my shoes; otherwise, I’ll get the insides of the white shoes dirty.”
As I continued chatting with the landowner’s daughter-in-law, a female interior designer arrived. She was wearing a light yellow suit with white trim and had a rather arrogant demeanor. I overheard the landowner’s daughter-in-law talking to her—apparently, since the building couldn’t be rebuilt, they were considering renovating the interior instead. She had found this designer through a magazine. The designer seemed aloof and indifferent, yet at the same time, she was trying to act familiar with the landowner’s daughter-in-law while maintaining an air of superiority.
The landowner’s daughter-in-law asked the designer to wait while she called her sister-in-law over. Soon, a tall and slender woman came running down from upstairs, saying, “Let’s talk quickly—I have other things to do later.”
Both the landowner’s daughter-in-law and her sister-in-law were quite pretty, with fair skin, looking like daughters of a wealthy family. However, the building itself looked old and worn out. It seemed like they were purely using it as a parking lot for income, with no other possible use for it. In any case, both of them had an air of refinement.
They then left with the designer, presumably to find another place to discuss their plans. When I first heard that they wanted to renovate the interior, I actually felt a bit of regret. I thought, “If my home decor business were still around, maybe I could’ve taken on this project.”
After they left, I was about to leave as well when I realized I was still holding the pink jacket she had lent me. I thought, “I probably won’t be coming back here again. How should I return this?” Just as I was pondering this, they came back, seemingly having forgotten something.
I quickly handed the jacket back to the landowner’s daughter-in-law, saying, “Here’s your jacket.” She took it and said, “Thanks.”
夢見像是在一個晴天的午後，我參加活動結束後要去開車。
我在路上走啊走，過了一個馬路。過完馬路後我回頭看，看到原本和我一起站在路口要過馬路的行人，這時候才開始過馬路，才發現我剛才竟然闖了紅燈。心想「哇！我剛剛闖紅燈的行為好危險喔！還好另一頭沒有來車。」
我繼續往前走，我的車子像是停在路邊大樓後方建物的地下停車場。這棟建物像是在一塊畸零地上，就是建築物本身也並不方正。整個格局像是長菱形，兩頭較窄，中間略寬。建物後方又有一個公園。反正就是地主在這裡弄了個地下停車場，我的車停在這裡。
我要取車，同時也有很多人取車，地主的媳婦叫我等一下。等她弄完其他人要來處理我的單時，她告訴我停車費是 $1945。我聽成 $945，當下都已經嫌貴了，正在懊惱為何昨天停過夜沒來取車，結果她更正我「不對喔！是 $1945 喔！」我心想「哇！更貴！」
我和地主媳婦哀求可否算我便宜一點，她想了想，同意算我 $1005，說因為我的車子停在很裡面。即使我昨天要來取車，她也沒有辦法把車交給我，因為我的車被其他車擋著。
我剛剛已經給了她 $1000，所以打開皮包要找 $5 給他。一不小心，錢還掉在地上。我把錢撿起來給她，她說請我等一下，她要找人去開車。
我坐在那裡等車時，稍微看了一下環境。我跟地主媳婦說「你這個地方不方正。」她說「對啊！」好像因為地不大，又不方正。改建的話，能夠使用的面積又更小了，所以他們只能將就著用。
我心想這地既然不大，那地下停車場也停不了幾部車吧！我好奇問她停車場入口在哪裡，她沒說。總之她說這地有整理過，就是地面上看起來還是一樣畸零地的建築，還有公園，可是好像地下停車場還不小。
我坐在那裡等，突然覺得有點冷。地主媳婦給了我一件粉紅色外套。我看了一下自己，不知為何，我剛剛本來是穿短袖，現在就變成長袖洋裝，還打著赤腳。我旁邊有一雙白色高跟鞋。我看了一下腳底，有點髒。心想我要拿濕紙巾來擦一下我的腳底，再來穿鞋，不然白鞋子裡面就弄髒了。
我坐在那裡繼續和地主媳婦聊天，此時來了一個女室內設計師，穿著淺黃色鑲白邊的套裝，看起來跩不拉機的樣子。我聽到地主媳婦跟設計師講，好像是因為這房子不能重建，他們考慮將內部重新裝潢，好像她是在雜誌上找到了這位設計師。反正那個設計師看起來很跩、很冷漠，可是她又好像想要跟地主媳婦裝熟，但她卻又一副高不可攀的模樣。
地主媳婦請設計師稍等一下，她要去叫她的小姑一起過來。過不久我就看到一個高高瘦瘦的女生從樓上跑下來，她說「我們趕快談一談，待會我有其他事情。」
這地主媳婦和那個小姑都長得滿漂亮的，白白淨淨，看起來就像是有錢人家的小孩。只是說那個畸零地上的房子看起來很老舊，好像就是純粹做停車場賺錢，也沒法做其他用途。總之感覺她們兩個都是白白淨淨的女生。
後來她們就跟著設計師離開了，大概是要另外找地方談事情。其實剛才聽到地主媳婦說想要內部重新裝潢時，我心裡還有點小遺憾。心想「如果我的家居事業還在的話，或許還可以試試能否拉到這樣的案子。」
她們離開了，本來我也要準備離開，此時我發現地主媳婦借我的粉紅色外套還在手上，我心想之後不可能再來這裡停車了。正當還在想要怎麼把這外套還給她時，她們剛好回來，好像忘了拿什麼東西。
我趕快把外套交給地主媳婦，跟她說「外套還給你囉！」她說好，就把外套拿走了。
