I dreamed that my boss resembled Arsène Lupin. He was dressed in a traditional European gentleman’s suit and wore a top hat. He had opened a high-end bedding store in Europe, and I worked there as a sales manager.
In the store, we displayed exceptionally soft and comfortable bedding and quilts. As I was introducing the products to a customer, Arsène Lupin walked in. I continued my presentation without interruption, and afterward, he complimented my English.
Later, another customer arrived, and I introduced the products in English. The customer praised the quality of our bedding and quilts. While explaining, I gently ran my hands over the fabric—it was rose-colored, smooth, shiny silk, long like a bridal gown, and very beautiful. As I stroked the bedding, I slowly walked deeper into the store.
The customer asked, "Is this fabric very light?" I replied, "Yes, it's soft and delicate." Arsène Lupin then corrected my English, pointing out that instead of saying, "It's our own brand," I should simply say, "It's our brand," as "own" was unnecessary.
As I continued walking, the customer mentioned that he was actually looking for bedding for his bedroom. I responded, "Alright." Moving further inside, where the space was larger, I began asking about his needs: "How big is the space? What size is the bed?" Eventually, I realized he needed a bed, so I started introducing our furniture.
After my introduction, the customer revealed that his bedroom was actually very large. As we walked through the store, I asked how big it was. He continued talking and then mentioned he also needed curtains. I followed up, "Is your space high-ceilinged? How tall is it?"
As our conversation went on, he suddenly admitted he had another reason for coming to us. Then, a small object fell from him and rolled to Arsène Lupin’s feet. As he reached for it, Lupin’s assistant stopped him.
The customer collapsed to the ground, appearing to have a heart attack. In the dream, I believed he was Russian. Arsène Lupin picked up the fallen object, opened it, and discovered it was a film reel.
The Russian man looked nervous, as if the reel contained classified material, and now that it was in our hands, he feared the worst.
When Arsène Lupin examined the contents, he found it contained numerous photographs of artwork. He suspected the item was dangerous and not something we should be involved with. He instructed his assistant to return the film to the Russian man. The man seemed greatly relieved.
Since he was still unwell, he remained lying on the ground. When we returned his film, he let out a deep sigh of relief. It seemed that he had been tasked with protecting it, and if we had taken it, he would have been doomed.
Then, he admitted that he had actually come to us on a mission and was originally supposed to discuss the details with us. But at that moment, another dream about a form (or document) seemed to overlap with this one in my mind.
Even though I was still standing there talking to the Russian man about our bedding, I suddenly mentioned a form. Then, I had a vision of Lee Yong-ping (former Deputy Mayor of Taipei) saying, "We already gave you the form!" Meanwhile, another voice insisted, "No, we haven’t received it!" It felt like two scenes were happening at once. One scene resembled a political talk show where the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) accused the Kuomintang (KMT) of having a certain form, and Lee Yong-ping denied it, saying, "No, we already gave it to you." The other scene was me continuing to introduce bedding to the Russian man.
Then, the dream shifted, revealing that in our industry, there was actually a confidential, unofficial form used to evaluate whether a customer could afford our high-end products. As customers asked questions, we would mentally fill out their details and score them. If they passed, we would proceed with our sales pitch. This seemed like an unwritten industry rule.
Next, my vision changed again, showing a mobile phone screen with the words "Search" in yellow with a black border. A voice told me to "search for cookies." I thought, "Wasn't it supposed to be a form? Why is it cookies now?"
The Russian customer reappeared before me, and suddenly, a voice announced, "He is running for president." Another voice added, "It's great that he is running. He’s very suitable for it."
Then, I seemed to hear my writer friend, John, talking about how difficult the "Ten Major Construction Projects" were back in the day and how we are now benefiting from their results. This was because I had just uploaded the serialized chapter of Ah-San's Story that mentioned these projects. John kept telling me, "The Ten Major Construction Projects were incredibly challenging. We are now enjoying the fruits of that effort."
In the dream, I responded to John, saying, "Right now, I'm introducing bedding to a customer, and you’re bringing up the Ten Major Construction Projects. I can’t handle two completely different topics at the same time. I need to focus on presenting the bedding storyline, and you should concentrate on developing Ah-San’s Story. Let’s work separately."
Then, the dream shifted back to the form. I had the feeling that while the form appeared blank, it was actually filled with information. Suddenly, it seemed like two parallel dream worlds were unfolding—one where I was introducing bedding to the Russian customer, and another involving the mysterious form.
Eventually, the form transformed into what looked like a cave. I had just been thinking about how to "fill out the form," but now it turned into "How do I navigate this cave?" The next thing I knew, I was inside a cave with a narrow opening. Peering out, I saw another cave across from me—earthy brown with a large black door guarded by someone. It felt like a hidden base tucked inside the mountains. Outside, the sky was blue with white clouds. I was hiding in my cave, observing them, as if preparing to infiltrate.
The scene then shifted again, focusing on the "president" wanting to move forward with his plans. He actually didn’t need to fill out the form, but we insisted he had to complete it before proceeding. It felt like a political tug-of-war between different factions.
In the end, the image of the "president" solidified in my mind—it was Lai Ching-te…
夢見我的老闆像是亞森羅蘋，他穿著歐洲傳統紳士西裝，戴個高帽子。他在歐洲開了一家高級寢具店，我在店內像是銷售經理。
我們在店內展示非常柔軟舒適的寢具和被褥。我正在和客人介紹商品的時候，亞森羅蘋剛好進來。我繼續和客人介紹，他沒有打斷我。因為我用英文和客人解說，事後他說我的英文不錯。
後來又有客人來，我用英文介紹。客人說我們的寢具與被褥的質感很好。我一邊介紹，一邊用手撫摸著寢具。它是玫瑰色，滑亮的絲綢，長長的，像新娘禮服般，很美。我手輕撫著寢具，慢慢往裡面方向走。
客人問「這質感很輕？」我說「對，質料柔軟細緻。」亞森羅蘋過來糾正我的英文，因為我說「It's our own brand. (這是我們自有品牌)」但他說是「It's our brand. (這是我們的品牌)」不用強調 "Own"。
當我慢慢地往裡面走時，那個客人跟我說他其實是要替他的臥室找寢具。我說「好的」。來到門市裡面，因為那裡空間比較大，我開始問他的需求「空間多大？床的規格？」後來發現他需要一張床，我就開始介紹家具。
當我介紹完，客人又說他的臥室其實非常大。我們一邊在門市裡走著，我就問他臥室有多大。他講一講，又提到他的臥室需要一個窗簾。我就問他「那你的空間是挑高的嗎？有多高呢？」
後來講一講，他才說其實他有其他需求來找我們。突然他身上的一個小物件掉下來，滾到亞森羅蘋的面前，然後他人也跟著倒下來。他想伸手去撿，被亞森羅蘋旁邊的助手阻止。
那個客人趴在地上，像是心臟病發。在夢裡面，我認為他是俄國人。亞森羅蘋把東西撿起來，打開看，發現是一個膠卷。
那個俄國人看來很緊張，大概那是機密物件，現在又在我們手上，他想完蛋了，這個有價值的東西被我們拿走了。
後來亞森羅蘋看了一下膠卷內容，裡面有很多藝術品照片。他認為這物件可能是有危險的，不屬於我們，我們不應該碰。亞森羅蘋就叫他的助手把膠卷還給那個俄國人。俄國人看來鬆了一口氣。
因為他的心臟不舒服，就躺在地上。當我們把他的膠卷還給他時，我覺得他看來大大地鬆了一口氣。因為他是奉命要保護那個膠卷，如果我們把它佔為己有的話，那他就慘了。
然後他說其實來找我們是要出任務的，接下來本來是要來談任務的內容。可是此時我的腦子裡，好像有另外一個關於表格的夢穿插進來。
我明明站在那裡和俄國人介紹我們的寢具，可是我突然提起有個表格。然後感覺我看到李永萍 (台北市前副市長)，她說「我們表格早就給你啦！」旁邊又有一個聲音說「沒有啊！我們沒有收到啊！」感覺像是同時有兩個場景。一個像是《少康戰情室》節目，民進黨說國民黨有個表格，然後李永萍副市長說「沒有啊！那個表格早就給你們了。」另一個場景就是我在跟俄國人介紹寢具。
接著場景就變成好像是我們這個行業，其實有一個非公開的表格，我們用它來評估這個客戶是否是買得起我們這種高級貨。所以當客人在問問題的同時，好像我們就會在心裡，把客戶的各個資料，填進表格中，並且評分。如果客戶通過評分，表示他是對的客人，我們就會繼續介紹。感覺這是我們不成文的行規。
然後場景又變成我眼前出現了一個手機的畫面，上面顯示黃色黑邊 "尋找" 兩個字。有個聲音告訴我「尋找餅乾」，我心想「不是表格嗎？怎麼變成餅乾？」
然後那個俄國客人又出現在我眼前。此時旁邊突然有個聲音說「他要選總統」，接著又有聲音說「他要選總統很好，很適合。」
然後我像聽到我的作家朋友 John 跟我說，當年十大建設是多麼不容易，然後才有今天的成果。因為我正好幫他的《阿三的故事》連載上架到《十大建設》的那個章節。John 在耳邊一直跟我說，「當年十大建設是一個多麼不容易的計劃，我們現在正在享受成果。」
在夢裡，我跟 John 說「我現在在跟客人介紹寢具，然後你又要跟我講十大建設的事情。我說我沒有辦法同時處理這兩個完全不同性質的工作。我要先專注跟客人介紹寢具的劇情發展，然後你去好好發展你《阿三的故事》的劇情，我們分頭進行。」
然後景又回到那個表格。在夢裡我有種感覺，這表格看起來是空的，可是實際上它的內容是滿的。突然覺得像是有兩個平行時空的夢。一個是我在跟那個俄國客人介紹寢具，另一個關於表格的夢也同時進行中。
後來怎麼那個表格變成像是山洞。我剛剛是在講「這個表格要怎麼 "走"？」，後來變成「山洞要怎麼走？」接著我變成在一個像是山洞裡，這裡有個縫隙，我往外看，對面是一個土黃色岩石山洞，有個黑色大門，有人看守著，感覺像是一個藏在山裡面的秘密基地。外頭是藍天白雲，我藏在這山洞，監視著他們，好像準備找機會闖進去。
接著場景又變成 "總統" 想要做什麼事情，他要繼續往前走。其實他並不需要填寫這個表格，就可以走。可是好像我們要求總統一定要先完成這個表格，他的計畫才能進行。感覺我們像是朝野在拉扯。總之，總統就是只想要繼續往前走，然後我看到那個 "總統" 的形象，就是賴清德…
(補充前面漏掉象徵元素的解析)
手機螢幕上的“搜尋”
在手機上看到「尋找」一詞，表明你在清醒的生活中積極尋求知識、方向或答案。手機本身是一種通訊工具，這意味著你的搜尋與理解、建立聯繫或尋求清晰度有關。
個人探索：這個夢境可能反映了你潛意識中對意義的探索，特別是關於你的職業、人際關係或個人成長的意義。
不確定性和決策：如果你不確定自己在尋找什麼，這可能表明你有迷失的感覺，或在重要的生活領域尋求指導。
技術聯結：手機的存在，表明你尋求的答案可能與現代資源、線上研究或外部驗證，而不是內部直覺相關。
榮格觀點：這可能代表「自我」的旅程－你的心靈試圖整合有意識和無意識的面向，以找到平衡。你可能正在一個缺乏清晰度的領域尋求真理、驗證或指導。
「十大建設工程」與 John 的角色
提到「十大建設」特別有趣，因為這是 20 世紀 70 年代台灣現實生活中的基礎建設項目。它的目的是實現國家現代化，並為經濟成長奠定基礎。儘管由於權力動態、資源分配和政治控制也存在爭議。
夢中的象徵意義：
為未來奠定基礎：你可能正處於重建事業、身分或長期規劃的階段（特別是考慮到你在關閉企業後重建的現實生活旅程）。
大規模的努力：提到國家規模的計畫，表明你的雄心或奮鬥感覺是巨大的和系統性的，可能超越個人控制。
政治或系統限制：如果 John 參與控制對這些專案的訪問，這可能反映了你現實生活中的外部限制或官僚挑戰。你可能會覺得某些結構、規則或權威，阻礙了你的道路。
John 的角色
如果 John 是這些計畫的看門人，則表示你認為一個人（或一個機構）有權控制你前進的能力。
他也可能象徵著你「自我」的某個面向，正在評估你生活中的某些「項目」是否值得追求。
榮格觀點：建設計畫代表著長期的轉變，而 John 的出現則暗示著權威與個人自由之間的衝突。這可能是你的「阿尼姆斯」（內在的男性能量）影響決策，也可能反映出塑造你未來的外在社會力量。
整體解讀：
你的夢境是尋求清晰、克服系統性障礙，並重建你的未來。手機上的「尋找」表明你正在積極尋求指導，而「十大建設」則表明你正在付出巨大的努力，來重建生活中重要的東西。然而，John 對其的控制，表明存在外部阻力，或在繼續前進之前需要獲得批准。
