I dreamed I could write poetry and lyrics, and I was competing in poetry with the "eldest prince," who wasn’t particularly favored.
The theme of the competition was related to metaphors in the subconscious. The key idea was that our subconscious can limit our perspectives, and we need to break free from this constraint, practicing different ways of thinking instead of following the crowd. Essentially, it was about developing independent thinking, unaffected by external influences.
In the dream, I felt like a philosopher, effortlessly expressing unique perspectives whether I was creating or debating various theories. I surprised even myself with this ability.
I thought to myself: my educational background and life experiences had nothing to do with the competition’s theme, and I hadn’t read the relevant literature. Yet, I could eloquently express unique ideas and theories related to these topics and even expand on them.
Later, the government awarded me a special position where I could continue to develop these skills. I was thrilled that someone finally appreciated and understood my abilities, giving me a real opportunity to shine in my area of expertise.
In that moment, I had a realization: no matter how capable I am, doing work I’m not suited for will never gain me recognition. A boss only values the skills they need, so even if my overall capabilities far exceed others, if they don’t align with what the boss is looking for, they’re irrelevant.
Then, the scene shifted, and I arrived at an unfamiliar place to park. In the dream, I kept reminding myself to try thinking differently, to break out of my comfort zone and habits.
This idea of thinking independently kept repeating throughout the dream.
夢見我會寫詩作詞，我跟不受寵的 "大阿哥" 在比賽詩詞。
比賽題目跟潛意識的比喻有關。重點就是潛意識會侷限我們對事情的看法，而我們就是要跳脫這個框架，練習用不同面向思考，而不是隨著大眾人云亦云。總之就是要練習獨立思考，不受外在影響。
然後我像個哲學家，如行雲流水般，在夢裡不論是創作還是各種理論的爭辯，都能夠把我獨特的觀點想法講出來，連我自己都嚇一跳，怎麼會有這能力。
我心想：我的教育背景和生活環境，都和比賽的題目無關，而且也沒閱讀過這些書籍，但我就是能夠滔滔不絕根據這些題目，講出我獨特的想法與理論，而且還可以將題目延伸。
後來政府還給了我一個特別的職位，讓我繼續發揮，我感到很高興，終於有人懂得欣賞或是理解我的能力，而且我有機會可以好好發揮，因為這是我的專長。
當下我有種領悟，即使我再有能力，但勉強去做不是我擅長的低階工作，是不可能受到重視的。因為老闆只覺得你的這些其他能力跟他無關，他不過只是要他所需要的能力的人。所以雖然我的整體能力遠超過其他人，但和老闆要求的重點不同，我的這些其他技能對他來講根本不重要，再厲害也沒用。
然後場景切換到我到了一個地方要停車，這個地點也不是我熟悉的地點。我在夢裡仍是不斷告訴自己：要嘗試用不同的思維，跳出舒適圈，打破自己的習慣。
總之這個想法，在夢裡就是不斷重複。
這個夢境似乎反映了自我實現的旅程和對知識自由的渴望。與不受寵的「大阿哥」進行詩詞競爭，表明你正在與自己不被認可或被低估的感覺作抗爭，這種感覺可能是被周圍的人或社會期望所忽視。詩詞競賽——一種自我表達和創造力的象徵性行為——意味著你正在尋找一種方式，來表達你獨特的觀點，即使在傳統上這種特質可能不被欣賞。
潛意識中反覆出現的隱喻主題和擺脫習慣性思考的主題表明，人們需要擺脫限制自己的心理或社會框架。你的潛意識正在提醒你獨立思考的重要性，並敦促你不要被他人的規範或要求所左右。這可能表明你的真實自我與外部壓力之間存在衝突，也許是在你的工作生活或個人環境中。
夢中獲得政府的特殊職位，表示渴望得到權威人士或整個社會的認可。它代表著一種希望，即你的才能和獨特的觀點，最終會被視為有價值的，並有一個可以真正發光的地方。這可能反映出你對自己的技能的信心，以及你願意追求一條更符合你的優勢和興趣的道路。
與老闆的期望不相符的人才不會受到重視，這種洞察力表明你正在認識到工作或角色不一致，會如何讓你的真正潛力無法發揮。這可能會促使你評估你目前的專業或個人角色，並考慮它們是否允許你以對你重要的方式表達和成長。
當你把車停在一個陌生的地方，卻不斷提醒自己以不同的方式思考的場景，象徵著一個轉變的時刻。它表明你正在生活中陌生的領域航行，但決心打破舊模式，走向成長和自力更生。
總的來說，這個夢境強調了重視你獨特的觀點、尋找認可你的優勢的環境，以及保持思想獨立的重要性——你的潛意識敦促你充分擁抱這些特質。
1. Recognition Through Genuine Expression
As the competition ends, the "eldest prince" comes forward, applauding your poetry. Instead of feeling envy or rivalry, he expresses genuine admiration for your unique insights. This prompts others in the audience, including influential figures, to take notice, resulting in an unexpected wave of appreciation and respect. Later, you’re invited to mentor others, sharing your philosophy on independent thinking. You realize that embracing and sharing your authentic voice has led to a deeper sense of fulfillment than the position or accolades themselves.
2. Choosing a New Path
Instead of receiving a special position from the government, you’re offered an open invitation to create your own path, free from traditional roles. Inspired, you choose to become a writer or speaker, developing ideas on independent thinking and creativity. You step into this role, and people begin to seek your guidance, valuing your vision. As you navigate this new path, you feel truly recognized, not by any title but by the impact you’re having on others’ lives.
3. An Inner Mentor
After the competition, you meet an older, wise mentor in the dream—an embodiment of your own subconscious. They acknowledge your journey and show you a vision of yourself as a confident, independent thinker, unbound by societal expectations. They advise you that true success lies in aligning with your inner truth, rather than external recognition. You awaken from the dream with a profound sense of clarity, inspired to explore your strengths independently, trusting that the right opportunities will emerge naturally.
4. Breaking Free Entirely
In the final scene, as you’re parking at an unfamiliar place, you decide to drive away instead, heading somewhere completely unknown. This act of detour symbolizes breaking away from comfort zones and taking control of your life direction. The destination doesn’t matter; it’s the act of choosing your path that gives you a sense of freedom. You drive toward the sunrise, feeling that your journey of self-discovery and independent thinking has only just begun.
5. Acceptance of Your Unique Path
At the end, instead of the government position, you find yourself surrounded by a small, passionate community that values your insights and seeks to learn from you. Realizing that impact doesn’t always come from traditional roles, you begin to share your philosophy of independent thought in meaningful ways with them. This brings a sense of purpose, and the dream ends with a feeling of fulfillment as you see others grow and thrive from your unique contributions.
6. Transcending Beyond External Validation
You’re offered the government role but politely decline it, feeling that such a structured role might limit your creativity. Instead, you commit to nurturing your thoughts, writing, and philosophies independently. Others come to understand and respect your journey on your terms. The dream closes with a sense of freedom, as you walk away from the crowd, knowing you’re on a path defined by your own standards, beyond external validation.
Each ending provides a different perspective on how independence, recognition, and fulfillment might manifest, allowing you to explore the dream’s themes in new ways.
This dream seems to reflect a journey of self-realization and a desire for intellectual freedom. The competition in poetry with the "eldest prince" who isn't favored suggests a struggle with feeling unrecognized or undervalued, potentially by people around you or by societal expectations. Competing in poetry—a symbolic act of self-expression and creativity—implies that you are searching for a way to articulate your unique perspectives, even in settings where such qualities might not be traditionally appreciated.
The recurring theme of metaphors in the subconscious and breaking free from habitual thinking points to an internal need to escape mental or social frameworks that limit you. Your subconscious is reminding you of the importance of independent thought and urges you to resist being swayed by the norms or demands of others. This can indicate a conflict between your authentic self and external pressures to conform, perhaps in your work life or personal environment.
Receiving a special position from the government in the dream signifies a desire for acknowledgment from those in authority or society at large. It represents a hope that your talents and unique perspectives will eventually be seen as valuable and have a place where they can truly shine. This might reflect your own confidence in your skills and your readiness to pursue a path that aligns more closely with your strengths and interests.
The insight about not being valued for talents that don’t align with a boss's expectations suggests that you're recognizing how misaligned work or roles can leave your true potential untapped. This could be a prompt to evaluate your current professional or personal roles and consider whether they allow you to express and grow in ways that matter to you.
The scene where you are parking in an unfamiliar place but constantly reminding yourself to think differently symbolizes a moment of transition. It suggests you're navigating unfamiliar territory in life but are determined to break out of old patterns, moving towards growth and self-reliance.
Overall, this dream emphasizes the importance of valuing your unique perspectives, finding environments that recognize your strengths, and maintaining independence in thought—qualities that your subconscious is urging you to embrace fully.
