I dreamed that I was going to attend the company’s year-end party. Unlike the grand banquets of previous years, this year’s event was simple—just gathering at a restaurant after work.
I have a formal dress that I rarely get the chance to wear, so I decided to bring it to the office, planning to dress up for the occasion.
As the end of the workday approached, I needed to go to the bank to withdraw some money, as there seemed to be a fee to pay.
On my way past the reception desk, I saw Terry, the receptionist. She asked if I was going to change into my dress today. I replied, "Yes, I am."
Terry asked, "Oh! Are you wearing a regular dress or a formal one?" "A formal dress," I answered.
Then the elevator doors opened, and there were many people inside.
Terry continued, "Do you still have time to change?"
I said, "I’ve had this dress for a while now. Since our company parties are getting smaller, there won’t be many chances to wear it in the future. So, I thought I’d wear it today."
Terry suggested, "You could save it for next year or the year after."
I replied, "I can't even be sure it will fit me this year! I might gain weight and not be able to wear it later, so I thought I'd better wear it this year."
I walked to the bank, although I had some cash on hand and wasn't sure why I needed to withdraw more. Nevertheless, I continued to the bank.
The bank was quite special, still open after six. I intended to withdraw 3,000 dollars but ended up depositing 3,000 dollars instead. I questioned myself, "Do I really need to withdraw money? I can use the cash I already have!"
Since it might be inconvenient to withdraw money later, I decided to go ahead and withdraw 3,000 dollars. At the bank, I saw Sun Yue, a senior staff member from my company, accompanied by a secretary.
He wanted to make a deposit, but I told him I needed to go first as I was ahead of him in line.
The bank’s counter shutters were already down, but they lifted them when we arrived. The teller gave me a form to fill out and then guided me to the ATM. I fed the bills into the machine.
I overheard Sun Yue talking to the bank staff, saying he had a lot of money to deposit and asking if they could help since the ATM was slow. The staff said no, as it was past regular service hours and only machine transactions were allowed.
I watched Sun Yue and his secretary talking with the bank staff. After my transaction was completed, the bank clerk put a new sticker on my ID card, listing the transactions I could do myself.
Then I walked back to the company. It seemed like there was more to the story, but I forgot the rest.
夢見我要參加公司的年終晚會。和往年盛大宴會不同，今年簡單辦理，就是下班後大家直接到餐廳集合。
我有一件禮服，平常沒有機會穿。所以想了想，我把它帶到公司，想說年終晚會盛裝出席。
下班時間快到了，我要先去銀行領錢，好像有費用需要支付。
我經過公司櫃台，看到總機小姐 Terry，她問我今天有沒有要換禮服啊！我說：「其實有。」
Terry 問：「喔！你是穿一般洋裝，還是禮服？」「禮服。」我回。
然後電梯打開，裡面很多人。
Terry 繼續問：「妳這樣子還來得及換衣服嗎？」
我說：「主要是因為這禮服我已經買了一陣子了。現在公司晚會規模越來越小，以後大概也沒有什麼機會穿，所以我就想說把它穿來。」
Terry 說：「妳可以留到明年或是後年穿啊！」
我說：「我都還不能保證我今年一定穿得下呢！明後年可能就變胖穿不下了，所以想說乾脆今年先穿好了。」
我在路上走著，我要去銀行。但好像其實我手上有錢，可是我不知道為什麼我還要領錢。總之，我就這樣子在路上走著。
來到銀行，這銀行還蠻特別的，六點多還在服務。我本來是要領錢，領 3000 元，可是後來怎麼變成是存 3000 元。而且我知道我手上還有錢，我問自己：「我還需要領錢嗎？我明明就可以先用手上的現金啊！」
好像是因為之後領錢不方便，我決定先領 3000 元。在銀行，我看到孫越，他好像是公司裡的一位資深人員，旁邊有位秘書陪著他。
他想要存錢，我跟他說我先，因為我排在他前面。
本來銀行櫃枱簾子已經拉下來。因為我們來到，櫃員又把簾子拉起來。他讓我先填表格，然後帶著我到提款機去操作。我將一張張紙鈔讓提款機吸走。
我看到孫越跟銀行人員講，說他有很多錢要存，提款機處理太慢，是否可以人員服務。銀行說現在不行，因為已經超過一般服務時間，只准用機器操作。
我就看著孫越跟他的秘書，跟銀行人員在那裡講。然後當我的交易完成後，銀行人員在我的身份證上貼上一張新資訊，列出我可以自己執行的交易。
然後我就走回公司了。本來好像還有後半段，早先還記得，現在忘記了。
Ending 1: Unexpected Celebration
As I walked back to the company, I noticed a different atmosphere. When I entered the office, I saw that my colleagues had transformed the space into a festive area with decorations and music. Everyone cheered when I arrived in my formal dress, and I realized they had planned a surprise party to celebrate not just the end of the year, but also the small victories and achievements we had made together. The dream ended with a feeling of joy and camaraderie.
Ending 2: A Moment of Realization
While walking back to the company, I encountered a quiet park and decided to sit on a bench for a moment. As I reflected on the events of the day, I had an epiphany about balancing work and personal life. I felt a sense of peace and clarity about my priorities and how to move forward. I then returned to the office with a renewed sense of purpose, ready to enjoy the simple year-end gathering with my colleagues.
Ending 3: The Unexpected Task
As I returned to the office, I received a call from my manager asking me to handle an urgent task. Although it was unexpected, I took it as an opportunity to prove my capabilities. After completing the task successfully, I joined the year-end party feeling accomplished. My colleagues and I shared stories and laughter, and I realized that sometimes, the unexpected challenges bring the most rewarding experiences.
Ending 4: The Mysterious Stranger
On my way back to the company, I bumped into a stranger who seemed familiar but I couldn’t quite place. We struck up a conversation, and they gave me insightful advice about life and seizing opportunities. As we parted ways, I felt a deep sense of gratitude and a new perspective on my own journey. I returned to the office and enjoyed the evening, feeling more connected to the people around me and optimistic about the future.
Ending 5: Personal Achievement
When I got back to the company, I found out that I had won an award for my hard work throughout the year. My boss praised me in front of my colleagues, and I felt a sense of pride and validation. The simple gathering turned into a celebration of not just the year-end, but also my personal growth and achievements. I ended the night feeling proud and motivated for the coming year.
Ending 6: A Vision of the Future
As I walked back to the company, I felt a sudden sense of déjà vu and had a vision of the future. I saw myself in various scenarios—advancing in my career, experiencing personal growth, and achieving dreams I had long held. This vision gave me a sense of direction and confidence. When I arrived at the restaurant, I felt more connected to my colleagues and excited about the potential of the coming year, ending the evening with a hopeful outlook.
These different endings provide a range of emotions and themes, from joy and celebration to personal reflection and achievement, each offering a unique conclusion to your dream.
Dreams can be highly personal and subjective, often reflecting our subconscious thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Here's an interpretation of your dream:
Year-end Party: The year-end party represents an important event or milestone in your life. The fact that it’s simplified this year might reflect feelings of nostalgia or change in your routine or expectations.
Formal Dress: The formal dress symbolizes a desire to showcase a different side of yourself or seize an opportunity. It suggests that you have something special or valuable that you want to reveal or utilize, but you rarely get the chance.
Bank Trip: Going to the bank and dealing with money could signify concerns about your resources, be it financial or personal energy. Withdrawing and depositing money might reflect a need for balance in your life, managing what you have and what you need.
Receptionist Interaction: Terry’s questions about your dress and whether you have time to change might represent internal doubts or external pressures about meeting expectations and managing time effectively.
Elevator: The crowded elevator could symbolize feeling overwhelmed or constrained by the people around you or by social situations.
Conversation with Terry: Your conversation about the dress highlights a fear of missing opportunities (the dress not fitting in the future) and a desire to take action now rather than procrastinating.
Bank Details: The specifics of your bank visit, such as seeing Sun Yue and the shutters being lifted, suggest you are seeking assistance or clarity in a complex situation. Sun Yue’s issues with the bank’s time restrictions might reflect your own concerns about deadlines and efficient time use.
New Sticker on ID: Receiving a new sticker with self-executable transactions could symbolize a growing sense of independence and empowerment. You are gaining new capabilities and responsibilities.
Walking Back to the Company: Returning to the company indicates a return to your responsibilities or everyday life after handling personal matters. The fact that you forget the rest might suggest that some aspects of your life or future plans are currently uncertain or unresolved.
Overall, your dream seems to center around themes of readiness, seizing opportunities, managing resources, and balancing personal and professional life. It may reflect your thoughts about change, preparation, and making the most of the present moment.
