I dreamt I was in a dusty outdoor area. The sky was a bit dim, as if dusk was approaching. There were a few small square tables scattered around, each with a dim, yellowish lamp glowing on it.
A middle-aged man approached me with a questionnaire and began asking me questions. We sat at one of the small tables — he was seated to my right. It felt like a standard interview: he asked, I answered.
While the interview was going on, I noticed my high school classmate Lydia walk by. She kept staring at the man, as if to say, “I’m watching you — don’t try anything sneaky. If you do, I’ll know.” Her gaze seemed to pressure him not to ask me anything inappropriate.
After the interview ended, I started walking forward. It felt like I was walking through a desert. Eventually, I arrived at a place that looked like a fortress or a castle made of stone or brick — it looked very solid. There was a doorway, but it wasn’t particularly tall.
I followed the people ahead of me up a small staircase, then turned right to reach the entrance. On the left side of the entrance were a few female attendants. They wore flowing robes that reminded me of traditional Middle Eastern attire. They were smiling but didn’t say a word.
They gestured for me to follow the others into the castle, as if signaling that it was my next destination. By now, the sky had brightened.
I saw the people ahead of me going in, so I followed them inside.
Then the scene shifted. I was on a boat at sea, under a bright sun, surrounded by other people. Another sailboat appeared nearby, with two men on board trying to pull people from our boat onto theirs.
The waves were rough. I kept thinking, “Why should I go onto your boat?” The two men were unsteady due to the wind and waves, yet they kept trying to drag people over. I didn’t stop them — I just stood there, silently watching as they took people from our boat to theirs.
The scene shifted again. I was now observing a yellowish clay wall from a distance, under bright sunlight. On the wall were black patterns that looked like an EKG or heart monitor graph. A group of young people stood in front of the wall, studying the patterns. One of them stood out — he had darker skin, a short buzz cut, and was wearing a casual short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
I watched them from afar. Suddenly, the group quickly moved from right to left and walked away.
Then the dream shifted once more. I was now standing in a back corner of a sailboat out at sea. There were a few people on board, but what drew my attention most was a middle-aged couple standing at the front of the boat, some distance away from me. It was sunset, and the light cast them in silhouette.
The sailboat gently rocked as I looked at their backs, with the warm glow of the setting sun bathing everything in shades of brown and amber-orange.
夢見我在一個好多沙塵的戶外區域。天有點暗,好像快要天黑了。那裡有幾張小方桌,每個桌上點著一盞昏黃的小燈。
有個中年男子拿著問卷問我問題。我們坐在一張小方桌,他坐在我的右側,像是一般訪談,他問,我回答。
問卷進行時,我看到高中同學 Lydia 經過。她一直盯著那位男士,感覺態度像是說「我在盯著你,你不要給我搞鬼。你如果搞鬼,我就會看出來。」就是讓那個男的,不敢亂問我奇怪的問題。
訪談結束後,我開始往前走。此時,我感覺像是在沙漠行走。後來我就來到一個像是城堡的地方,它像是岩石磚建造的建築,看來很堅固。出入口有個門,但門並不高大。
我跟著前面的人走上一個小階梯後右轉,來到這個城堡的出入口。我看到左側有女性服務人員,她們披著像是中東人的那種袍子,笑咪咪但都沒有講話。
她們指示我跟著其他人走進城門,好像意思是說那是我的下一站。此時的天空是亮的。
我看到前面的人都進去,我也跟著進去了。
然後場景變成我在海上的一艘船上,陽光普照,旁邊還有其他人。此時來了另一艘帆船,上面有兩個男的,想要抓我們去他帆船上。
海上的浪很大,我心想「我為什麼要去你的船?」他們兩個就一直要抓人上他們的船。因為風浪很大,他們站得也不是很穩。我站在旁邊,不斷地想「為什麼要上你的船?」但我也沒有阻止他們去抓其他人,就是眼睜睜地看著他們從我們這船抓人到他們的船。
然後場景變成我從遠處看著一面黃土泥牆,此時一樣是陽光普照。牆上有那種像是心電圖波動的黑色圖案,一些年輕人站在牆的前面看著這些圖案。其中一位年輕人,膚色較黑,理個小平頭,穿著休閒短袖襯衫和短褲,站在那牆前,看著圖案。
我從遠處看著他們。突然,他們快速地從右到左移動,走了。
然後場景變成我在一艘海上帆船的船尾角落,船上有幾個人。比較吸引我目光的是一對中老年夫妻,他們在船頭,和我有些距離。因為是夕陽,他們正好背光。帆船動啊動,我就看著他們倆人的背影。夕陽照過來,整個場景是咖啡色橘黃色的景…

這個豐富的夢境包含多個象徵性的場景轉換,從榮格心理學(分析心理學)的角度來看,每個元素都可能代表潛意識的不同面向。以下是我的分層解析:
初始場景的沙塵與昏暗
沙塵瀰漫的戶外區域象徵意識與潛意識的交界處(liminal space),反映夢者正處於某種心理過渡期。
黃昏的曖昧光線可能暗示對某些議題的「模糊認知」,或是現實與潛意識的混合狀態。
問卷與中年男子
問卷訪談是「自我審查」的象徵,中年男子可能代表阿尼姆斯(Animus,女性潛意識中的男性面向)或權威原型(如父親、專家)。
他的位置在右側(榮格認為右側常代表意識層面),暗示夢者正在理性層面處理某些問題。
Lydia的出現具有保護性,可能是夢者內在「智慧女性原型」(如女智者)的投射,防止訪談者(潛意識威脅)越界。
沙漠與城堡
沙漠象徵心理的「荒蕪」或靈性試煉,而城堡是「自性」(Self)的經典象徵,代表心理整合的堅固結構。
低矮的門暗示進入潛意識需要「謙卑」,中東女性服務員則可能連結集體潛意識中的「大地母親」或接引者原型。
海上衝突場景
船是「意識之舟」,而試圖抓人的帆船代表外來干擾(可能是未被整合的陰影或外界壓力)。
夢者的被動(「眼睜睜看著」)反映現實中對某種侵犯的容忍,或對「心理邊界」的模糊態度。
心電圖黃土牆
心電圖波動的黑色圖案象徵「生命力的紀錄」,年輕人觀察圖案暗示夢者對生命動態的理性分析傾向。
他們的快速離開可能反映「時間流逝」或對某些生命議題的逃避。
夕陽中的夫妻背影
中老年夫妻是「陰陽整合」的象徵,夕陽的橘黃色調暗示「生命的晚期階段」或某種圓滿。
夢者在船尾觀察,可能反映對「關係原型」或自身未來階段的遠距離審視。
整體詮釋建議這個夢展現了夢者面臨心理轉化的多個階段:
自我審查(問卷)到 潛意識探索(城堡)
邊界衝突(海上抓人)到 超越對立(夕陽夫妻)
榮格會認為,沙漠到海洋的轉換暗示「個體化歷程」:從荒蕪(意識的孤立)到流動(潛意識的開放)。而反覆出現的「被動觀察者」角色,可能提醒夢者需要更主動參與自己的心理整合。
行動建議
注意現實中是否過度容忍他人越界(海上場景的投射)。
城堡與夫妻意象可作為冥想焦點,探索對「心理完整性」的深層渴望。
記錄近期是否出現與中年男子、Lydia相似的人物,他們可能是潛意識的信使。
夢的最後停留在夕陽的溫暖色調,暗示潛意識最終導向和諧,但需先正視當前心理的衝突與被動性。
