I dreamed that my brother Ivan, Adolf, and I joined a group that required each team to produce a family film. Initially, we arrived at a rose garden—resembling the rose garden at Shilin Official Residence. I thought the garden could represent me. But later, Ivan took over directing the film. He moved the setting to a boat and brought in actors to show how impoverished our childhood was.
He planned to clear the filming space to reflect the emptiness of the past, but before clearing it, he bought a bunch of things—knives, saws, curtains, and other tools—and piled them up on the set. I asked, "Weren't we supposed to clear the space? Why are you buying all this stuff?" He replied that it was to enhance the mood of the film, and after filming, he could resell the items.
But the knives and saws were dull, old, and rusty—basically junk. I said, "If you bought new ones, at least they’d be usable. These are just garbage! Who would want them?" Still, Ivan insisted he could return or sell them. We were supposed to be clearing things out, yet he was bringing in more clutter. I felt a deep emotion: "The habits from our family of origin are like ghosts—they cling to us and never change. They just keep piling up."
In the dream, Charles from the show Younger was my boss. I approached him and asked if he thought our family film was too influenced by our past, like a burden that just keeps growing. Charles said if that’s what we want to express, he respects it.
I told him, “But that’s not what I want to express—I want rebirth!” But Ivan kept adding more and more old, unwanted things into the film. Though we were supposed to be clearing things, he was making it even heavier. His film felt slow and outdated.
Eventually, I confronted Ivan and said, “Since you’re the one directing, I won’t be involved anymore.” I just wanted to free myself from that heavy feeling. I didn’t like that version of the family film and didn’t think it represented us.
But then I wondered: “Doesn’t this do reflect our family?” It kind of does. Our father had the same habit—accumulating clutter. I remembered how I only took a few things when I left home. I didn’t want to carry the past with me...
What was meant to be a new film became burdened with so many old things that it felt ancient. And after filming, I’d have to clean it all up again. It felt like an endless task.
夢見我和弟弟 Ivan 和 Adolf 加人一個團體,他們要求各組要製作自己的家族影片。
我們原本來到一個玫瑰花園,有點像是士林官邸的玫瑰花園,我想說這個花園可以表達我。但後來影片改由 Ivan 來主導,我們來到一個船上,他找演員帶鏡頭,講到小時候家裡就是很匱乏。他計劃把攝影場景清空,來表達過去「家裡匱乏」的樣貌。可是在清空之前,他又買了一堆刀子、鋸子、窗簾各種工具,堆在現場。
我問他「不是要清空嗎?為什麼又買這些東西?」他說因為要表達這個影片的意境,而且拍完後,他還可以把這些東西轉賣。
我看著他買的這些刀子鋸子,不但是鈍了舊了,還生鏽了,根本都是沒人要的東西。我說「你如果買新品,至少還可用。這些東西根本就是廢物!誰會要啊?」
Ivan 還是認為他可以把這些東西拿去退或是轉賣。明明我們是要清空場景,但現在他又搞了更多額外的東西進來,我頓時有種感觸「原生家庭的習慣,怎麼就像鬼魅一樣,一直糾纏,也不會改變。就是會越積越多,越積越多。」
夢裡,《Younger (年輕一代)》影集裡的 Charles 是我的老闆,我跑去找他,問他會不會覺得我們的家族影片有太多來自原生家庭的影響,像個包袱一樣不斷累積。Charles 說如果這是我們想要表達的內容,他尊重。
我說「這不是我想要表達的內容,我想要重生!」可是 Ivan 不斷把好多好多過去的東西加進來,明明我們都要想辦法清空了,但他還加入更多舊的、不好的元素,讓我覺得這個負擔好沉重!
Ivan 的影片步調好慢,又陳舊。明明我們準備要 "清空",然後他又買了一堆 "舊" 東西,我感到這個包袱越來越重。
後來我決定跟 Ivan 攤牌「既然是由你主導,我就不再參與。」感覺我就是想要擺脫這種沉重的感覺,這樣子的家族影片我也不喜歡,也不覺得這影片就能代表我們家。
但我又不禁自問「這影片真的不能代表我們家嗎?好像又有,因為爸爸也是這種習慣。」我想起小時候,家裡也是堆了好多東西。當我離家時,只帶幾樣東西離開了,因為我不想讓這些 "過去" 一直跟著我…
看似是拍攝新影片,可是 Ivan 又買了好多 "舊" 東西加入影片,整個影片顯得好陳舊。想到拍完影片,我還要再來清理這些東西,好像永遠都清不完的感覺…





這個夢境充滿了榮格心理學中的象徵與原型,可以從以下幾個層面進行解析:
1. 「兄弟」作為陰影(Shadow)的投射
Ivan 和 Adolf 的名字可能具有象徵意義(Adolf 讓人聯想到歷史上的負面形象,Ivan 則可能代表某種斯拉夫式的堅韌或固執)。在夢中,Ivan 主導影片製作,並堅持加入「舊物」,這可能反映你做夢者內在未被整合的陰影部分——比如對原生家庭「匱乏感」的認同,或對「累積舊習」的無意識重複。
你對 Ivan 的批判(「這些東西根本是廢物!」)顯示你與陰影的衝突:意識上渴望「重生」,但無意識中仍被原生家庭的模式牽制。
2. 「家族影片」與自性化(Individuation)過程
製作家族影片象徵對自我歷史的整合。起初你想用「玫瑰花園」(美麗、生命力)代表自己,但 Ivan 轉向「匱乏的船」——這可能反映你內在的對立:理想自我(綻放的花園)與真實創傷(匱乏的童年)的拉鋸。
榮格認為,自性化需直面個人與家族的集體無意識。夢中你質問「影片能否代表我們家」,正是對「我是誰」的深層探索。
3. 「舊物」與情結(Complex)的具象化
生鏽的刀子、鋸子、窗簾等舊物,象徵未被處理的情結(如匱乏感、囤積習慣)。它們「鈍而無用」卻被保留,暗示這些情結雖已失去現實功能,仍被無意識賦予價值(Ivan 認為可轉賣)。
父親的習慣在夢中重現,顯示「家族無意識」的傳遞。榮格會認為,唯有意識到這些模式,才能打破強迫性重複。
4. 「清空」與重生原型的矛盾
「清空場景」代表對舊模式的摒棄,但 Ivan 不斷加入舊物,反映無意識對「改變」的抵抗。這種矛盾可能源於對「匱乏」的熟悉感——即使痛苦,卻是心理上的安全區。
你喊出「我想要重生!」是自我(Ego)對轉變的渴望,但夢結尾的無力感(「永遠清不完」)顯示個體化過程中與集體無意識的艱難對抗。
5. Charles 作為「智慧老人」(Wise Old Man)原型
影集角色 Charles 以「老闆」身份出現,並尊重你們的創作選擇,可能象徵你內在的「智慧聲音」。他的中立態度(「如果你們想要」)暗示:真正的改變需由你做夢者主動爭取,而非依賴外在權威。
榮格式的整合建議:
陰影工作:接納 Ivan 所代表的「匱乏認同」,理解其保護性功能(如:囤積是對童年缺乏的安全補償),而非單純排斥。
積極想像(Active Imagination):與夢中 Ivan 對話,問他為何堅持這些舊物?或許會發現隱藏的創傷或資源。
儀式性切割:夢中「離開團隊」是心理界限的建立,現實中可透過象徵行動(如整理物品、書寫家族史)宣告與舊模式的分離。
關注「船」的象徵:船常代表過渡或潛意識。若「匱乏」發生在船上,或許暗示這段歷史正引導你航向某種轉化。
這個夢揭露了「重生」前的必要掙扎——唯有直面陳舊的家族劇本,才能創造屬於自己的敘事。正如榮格所言:「除非你讓無意識成為意識,否則它將指導你的生活,而你會稱之為命運。」
