I dreamed that I was talking with my friend Brian about my thoughts during the later stages of my business venture.
I told him that at the time, I felt like I was under attack from all sides, struggling to pivot and transform the business. I thought I was finally about to cross that hurdle and move to the next stage, but then the pandemic hit. The financial situation was already tight, and the pandemic just made things worse, eventually leading to the business’s closure.
Brian said, being honest and hoping I wouldn’t get upset, that he had always thought my business would be hard to run and had wanted to advise me against it a few years earlier.
I replied that a few years ago was exactly when the business was making money, so who would stop at that point? But looking back now, I realize that closing it was the right decision. The changes in the overall environment—like the US-China trade war and inflation—made things worse, but a few years ago, I hadn’t sensed any of that.
Hearing my explanation, Brian agreed. He said that when he found out I decided to close the company, he was happy for me and also felt a sense of relief.
夢見我和好友 Brian 談起創業後期那段時間的想法。
我說當時就感到腹背受敵，力拼轉型，本來以為自己終於要過了那個檻，總算可以進到下一個階段。想不到疫情爆發，原本財務就很吃緊，讓問題更是雪上加霜，最終還是過不了關，必須結束收場。
Brian 說他講實話要我別生氣，當時他一直覺得我的生意很難做，幾年前就想勸我不要做了。
我說可是幾年前正是賺錢的時候，誰會收手呢？不過現在回頭來看，覺得結束營業的決定是對的。因為整個大環境的變化、中美貿易戰、通膨，都讓問題加劇，但幾年前我並沒有感受到那樣子的氛圍。
聽我這樣解釋，Brian 說也對。所以當他得知我決定結束公司的時候，他替我感到高興，覺得也鬆了一口氣。
這個夢可能象徵著對過去決定的反思和接受的過程，特別是在商業或重大人生努力的背景下。這是一個可能的解釋：
與布萊恩對話：Brian 作為朋友，可能代表理性的聲音或外在的觀點，而這些是夢者在掙扎期間可能沒有考慮到的。他的誠實和對公司倒閉的寬慰，可能表明夢者的某些部分知道公司是不可持續的，儘管他們繼續前進。
「受到攻擊」的感覺：夢者回憶起受到巨大壓力和「四方攻擊」的感覺，可以反映出他們當時所面臨的壓力、掙扎和磨難。這也可能象徵著他們內在的個人鬥爭或衝突，試圖應對外在和內在的挑戰。
疫情是一個轉捩點：將疫情稱為最後一擊，暗示著一種無法控制的力量，或外在環境導致了最終的垮台。這可能代表著生活的不可預測性，以及儘管盡了最大努力，某些事情仍然無法控制。
Brian 的建議和事後諸葛亮：Brian 早些時候對業務的懷疑以及夢者認為關閉最終是正確決定的反思，表明事後諸葛亮的想法更加清晰。這可能意味著雖然夢者曾經相信自己的生意或冒險，但他們現在意識到放手是明智的。
最後如釋重負：Brian 在聽到關閉的消息後感到如釋重負，這可能反映了夢者自己未被承認的如釋重負的感覺。這個夢可能表明在內心深處，做夢者感覺自己已經擺脫了人生的這一章，卸下了重擔。
總的來說，這個夢境可能是關於處理過去的失敗或困難的決定並接受它們。它反映了從壓力和掙扎到理解和緩解的旅程，強調外部視角和自我意識在個人和職業成長中的重要性。
