I dreamed that my husband and I, along with a long-haired woman, arrived at a building as scheduled, seemingly to meet with a psychologist.
Inside the building, there was an atrium. We rang the bell and then sat down to wait.
The psychologist came down from upstairs and briefly greeted my husband. He told the woman and me to wait downstairs, and suddenly, I realized we were sitting on toilets. The psychologist said, “When you’re done using the restroom, just ring the bell, and we’ll bring you toilet paper.” Then he took my husband upstairs.
I looked around—the sunlight streamed through the glass ceiling, filling the space with warmth and brightness. The room we were in had glass walls on all sides, and from my perspective, it felt like we were inside a courtyard garden. It had a wabi-sabi aesthetic, with sparse grass, stones, and pebbles. Looking closer, I noticed that our room was elevated on a wooden platform. And there we were—the woman and I—sitting on the toilets.
I turned to her and said, “This feels a little weird.”
She replied, “Yeah, it does!”
I asked if she was finished, and when she said yes, I rang the bell. A woman came over and handed us a roll of toilet paper. After wiping, I stood up and saw what seemed to be the psychologist’s wife approaching.
At that moment, I noticed a man who looked like a patient. The psychologist’s wife spoke to him, and then he whispered something in her ear, making her look a little embarrassed.
I turned to the woman beside me again and said, “This is kind of strange.”
She responded, “Yeah!”
I said, “If things start to feel off, I’ll shout, and we’ll run.”
She agreed, “Okay!”
Later, the psychologist came downstairs with my husband. It seemed like they were going to take us to his home. I exchanged a glance with my husband, silently signaling that if something felt wrong, I would shout, and we would all run.
At this point, I woke up. However, I had a vague memory that I had dreamed of this psychologist several times throughout the night, though I hadn’t recorded the other dreams. I closed my eyes, wondering if I could return to the dream.
Then, in the next dream, my husband and I were with a woman who had long, straight hair and appeared slightly older. We were standing outside, in front of a small house’s staircase. The sunlight cast a gentle glow over the area. I noticed a red-and-white wooden door, which reminded me of the door from my childhood home in the military village.
As we stood there, a professor came out to greet us. Once again, he wanted to take my husband away, instructing the other woman and me to wait, assuring us that he would come back for us later. Then, he led my husband away, and we waited there.
Then I woke up.
I thought to myself—earlier, I had told my subconscious that I wanted to return to my previous dream, and it was indeed the same professor. But this scene with the staircase wasn’t the one I was looking for. After recording my dream, I went back to sleep.
Then, the dream shifted again.
My husband and I were now accompanied by our young assistant. We stood on a wooden-floored corridor, resembling the ones inside the walls of Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. Transparent glass lined both sides, and on one side, there was a large atrium with sunlight streaming in. The corridor itself was dimly lit, but it didn’t feel gloomy because of the sunlight filtering through from above.
The three of us kept walking forward, seemingly on our way to meet the professor and his wife, yet we couldn’t actually see them.
I told my husband, “This place feels kind of strange.”
He replied, “Yeah!”—because we weren’t even sure where we were going.
I then said, “I feel like I’ve had several dreams tonight with similar settings.” It felt as though we were part of some kind of experiment led by the professor.
I told my husband, “If anything happens, we’ll shout and run back the way we came.”
He agreed, “Okay!”
Then the professor appeared, and we followed him. I kept glancing at the corridor around me…
And then, I woke up.
夢見我跟老公，還有一位長髮女生，依約來到一個建築內，像是來見一位心理醫生。
這空間內有個中庭。我們按了鈴，接著坐下來等候。
心理醫生從樓上下來，跟老公簡單打了招呼。他叫我跟那女生在樓下坐著等，突然我發現我們是坐在馬桶上。醫生說「你們上完廁所就按個鈴，我們會送衛生紙過來。」就帶老公上樓去。
我環顧四周，陽光從屋頂上方玻璃透下來，明亮溫暖。而我們所在的那個房間裡，四面都是玻璃牆。我看出去，我們像是在一座中庭花園裡面。它有一點像是侘寂風，有一些簡單的草，並不茂盛，還有石頭與小石子。再仔細看，我們所在的這個房間在一個抬高的地基上，搭配著木條地板。然後我跟那個女生，我們坐在那裡上廁所。
我跟那個女生說「我覺得這有點詭異。」她說「對啊！」我問那女生上完廁所沒，她說上完了。我按鈴，有個女生過來 ，給了我們一捲衛生紙。我擦屁股後站起來，看到好像是心理醫師的太太也走過來。
這時候我看到有個男生，有點像是病患。醫生太太跟他講話，接著那個男生就跟醫生太太耳語，她還露出有點不好意思的樣子。
我再次跟旁邊的女生說「我覺得這有點詭異。」她說「對啊！」我說「如果待會我們看狀況不對的話，我就大喊一聲，我們就趕快逃跑。」她說「好！」
後來心理醫生跟老公一起下樓來，要接我跟那個女生，好像要招待我們去他家。我跟老公使了一個眼色，意思就是說「如果待會狀況不對的時候，我會大叫，然後我們就一起逃跑。」
夢境到這裡，我醒了，可是我依稀記得今天夢見好幾次這個心理醫生的場景，但我沒記下來。我閉上眼，想說看看能否再回到這個夢裡。
然後夢境來到我和老公，還有一個長直髮的女生，這女生看來有點年紀，我們站在一個小房子的樓梯前面的空間。這裡是戶外，有一點陽光。我看見一道紅白相間的木門，有點像是小時候我們眷村家的那道門。
我們站在那裡，教授出來迎接我們。接著又是他要把老公帶走，叫我跟另外那個女生在那裡等，說等一下他會回來接我們。然後他就把老公帶走了，我們就站在那裡等。然後我就醒了。
我心想我之前的確是跟潛意識說想回到先前的夢境，是這個教授沒錯，可是不是這個樓梯間的場景。我把夢境記錄下來後，繼續睡。
然後夢境來到我跟老公，還有我們的年輕助理，我們站在一個木條地板的廊道上，有點像是中正紀念堂圍牆內的那種走廊。兩旁是透明玻璃，其中一邊像是大樓裡面的中庭，上方有陽光透下來。這走廊沒有燈，有點暗，但並不陰暗，因為中庭上方有陽光透下來。
我們三人一直往前走，感覺我們是要去見教授夫婦，可是我又沒有看到他們。我跟老公說「這裡有點詭異。」他說「對！」因為好像我們也不知道要走去哪裡。
我跟老公說「我覺得今天好幾場夢都是類似的場景。」感覺像是我們參與這個教授的某種測試。
我繼續說「如果待會有什麼狀況，我們就大喊，然後我們就趕快往後跑。」他說「好！」
然後教授來了，我們就跟著他走。我不停地看著廊道的兩旁…然後我就醒了…
這個夢呈現出一段層層遞進的心理旅程，主題包括權威、控制、潛意識的考驗，以及一種持續存在的不安感。若以榮格心理學的角度來解析，可從以下幾個面向切入：
1. 心理師與教授：權威象徵與陰影
夢中的「心理師與教授」是主導行動的權威人物，他們分別「引導」或「隔離」我與丈夫。從榮格觀點來看，他們可能象徵我內在的理性或知性面，試圖掌控情緒。然而夢中潛藏的不適感，反映出意識與潛意識之間的矛盾與張力。
心理師要求我坐在馬桶上等待，這個奇異的情節象徵脆弱與暴露。「馬桶」常出現在與情感釋放、心理淨化有關的夢境中，但這裡的等待是被動且強迫的，顯示我可能在現實中感受到被觀察、被審視的壓力，而非主動進行自我覺察。
教授則帶出「測驗」這個概念，加深「被評估」的主題。他一再出現，象徵我的潛意識正面對一種長期的心理挑戰，也許是被操控、被觀察，或被放進一種必須證明自我的情境中。
2. 丈夫：穩定與安全感的象徵
整個夢境中，丈夫不斷被心理師或教授帶走，留下我獨自面對局勢。從榮格的角度來看，丈夫可能象徵穩定性、保護力，或我的「阿尼姆斯」（Animus），即內在的男性特質，象徵理性與行動力。這樣的分離反映出我對失去依靠的不安，也可能源自於現實生活中，對於獨自面對轉變的焦慮。
夢中多次出現：「如果狀況不對，我們就逃跑」的對話，代表一種潛意識的恐懼與警戒，反映我對某些外在安排的懷疑，暗示現實中也可能正面臨需要依靠直覺，做出選擇的處境。
然而，逃跑也是一種自我保護的機制，暗示我需要找到一種平衡，既能面對內在的挑戰，又能保護自己的心理安全。
3. 中庭與玻璃房間：自我與內在空間
夢境中的空間，如玻璃牆圍繞的房間、木地板與長廊，給人通透卻也受限的感覺。「玻璃」象徵清晰、覺察與真相，但同時也帶來被觀看、被看透與缺乏私密感的壓力與焦慮，加強「我被監視、被測試」的感受。
夢中的中庭，象徵內在的核心，是一個連接內外世界的過渡空間，可能代表我正在探索自己的內在世界。
而「侘寂風」的庭院，透露出一種簡約與殘缺的美感，既有自然的寧靜，也有未完成的孤單，可能對應我內在正在尋求簡單與真實，但又感覺尚未抵達整合之地的心理狀態。
而陽光從屋頂透下來，帶來溫暖與光明，這可能象徵潛意識中的希望與啟發，暗示我正在經歷某種內在的轉化。
4. 紅白相間的門：回憶與過渡
紅白相間的門，讓我聯想到小時候眷村的家的童年記憶，這可能象徵夢我正在回顧過去，或試圖從過去的經驗中尋找答案。
「門」本身是一個過渡的象徵，代表從一個階段進入另一個階段，暗示我正在經歷某種心理上的轉變。
5. 重複的夢與潛意識的自主性
我試圖返回前一個夢境，這表示一種高層次的夢中覺察與潛意識互動。但潛意識並未讓我如願返回，而是帶她走向新的場景。教授依然存在，意味著考驗仍在進行，夢境如同一場引導性的心理歷程，有其自身節奏與安排。
而夢中多次出現類似的場景（如中庭、走廊、教授），可能象徵我正在經歷某種內在的考驗或測試。這種重複性暗示我需要反覆面對某些潛意識的課題，直到完全理解並整合它們。
走廊的昏暗與陽光的對比，可能反映我在探索潛意識過程中的困惑與希望。
6. 最終場景：昏暗長廊中的曙光
我與丈夫、助理走入一條昏暗的走廊，旁邊是古蹟般的空間與中庭，陽光照射進來，似乎象徵希望與方向。然而整體仍籠罩在不確定的氛圍中，再次強調「在未知中前行」的主題，而教授的再度出現，也意味這是一場未完成的心理探索。
主題與解讀總結
被觀察與評估的壓力：權威角色與玻璃牆，象徵我感受到外在壓力，彷彿總被審視，或置於需證明自我的處境。
不確定中的航行：不斷變換的場景對應潛意識對未知的掙扎，可能與事業轉型、人生方向或身份認同有關。
直覺的覺醒與反抗：夢中的「逃跑約定」，象徵我內在不願盲目接受外在安排，而是準備依靠直覺做出反應。
陰影與整合之路：教授與心理師，可能象徵我的內在評論者或理性心智，夢境正引導我走向整合、找到忠於自我的方向，這正是榮格所說的「個體化歷程」。
結語：相信直覺的召喚
這場夢境顯示我正經歷深層的內在探尋，面對外在期望與內心聲音的拉鋸。雖然看似被引導與安排，但夢的訊息提醒我們：真正的方向來自內心。下一步，或許不是繼續接受測驗，而是回到直覺，誠實地問自己：「這條路，是我真正的選擇嗎？」
