I dreamed that I was playing with a little boy by a small pond, tossing around a balloon. At first, it was a large light green balloon, but then it transformed into many small balloons—almost like green grapes—bubbling up from the pond with a pop pop pop. Suddenly, a group of boys came running over. One of them, who seemed like a little tyrant or a bully, stepped forward and warned me to get off the farm. It was as if this place didn’t belong to us, and we weren’t allowed to be there. He shouted, “If you don't have what it takes, then stop messing with grown-up stuff!” I looked back at the pond and saw it had turned into a muddy pit. The boys kept yelling at us to leave, saying this place wasn't somewhere we were allowed to play. Just then, a sudden thought flashed through my mind: “What if we don’t have enough energy?” It was like our vehicle didn’t have enough power—so even if we wanted to escape, we couldn’t. 夢見我跟一個小男孩在一個小水塘邊玩氣球。它本來是一個淺綠色大氣球，後來變成一小顆一小顆的小氣球，有點像是綠葡萄般，從水塘噗噗噗地冒出來。 突然跑來幾個小男孩，其中帶頭像是小霸王的男孩，就過來警告我，叫我滾出這個農場，好像這農場不是我們的地方，不可以過來。說我「沒有那個屁股，就不要來玩大人的東西！」 此時我再看這個水塘，它變成了泥坑。小男孩繼續吵著叫我們走，說這裡不是我們可以遊玩的地方。 但此時我腦中突然閃過一個念頭「能源不夠怎麼辦？」好像是我們的車子沒有足夠的能源，即使我們想要跑，也跑不掉啊！

Recently, I've been binge-watching Netflix's "Younger." In a dream, I found myself as the main character, Liza, having a lively gathering at a bar with several young women and the lesbian artist Maggie from the series. At that moment, a young guy in a tweed hat walked in, seemingly invited by Maggie to join us. He strolled in with his hands casually in his pockets, looking cool. He joined our group of girls, and we chatted away, much like in the show's storyline. Then it seemed like we were about to play a "truth-telling" game where everyone takes turns sharing a personal truth. When it was my turn, in the midst of the dream, I suddenly heard a "bang" sound in the room, like someone knocking on wood, and my dream was interrupted, waking me up. Returning to the dream, like Liza in the show, I was concealing my true age to secure a job and blending in with younger people. Then, an old friend of mine, probably jealous of my situation, exposed my real age to my young friend Lauren. Lauren looked extremely surprised. Watching this unfold, I felt my friend was despicable, "Why did you have to reveal my age?" Next, the scene shifted to an outdoor garden, perhaps for an unveiling ceremony. There were rows of chairs on the grass, and guests were seated. The series' boss, Charles, was giving an opening speech at the front. There was a large outdoor decoration, and after the speech, they were about to unveil it, preparing to pull down the curtain. It seemed to be a large statue. Before I could see clearly what it was, I woke up. 最近在追 Netflix 《年輕一代 (Younger)》，夢見我變成女主角 Liza，和幾個年輕女生和同性戀藝術家 Maggie 一起在酒吧歡樂聚會。 此時一個戴著毛呢帽的年輕男生走進來，好像他是 Maggie 邀請來的朋友加入我們。他走進來時，雙手插在褲子口袋裡，看來酷酷的。他加入我們女生群，一起胡扯瞎聊，像影集裡劇情一樣。 然後我們好像要玩一個「講真話」的遊戲，就是每個人輪流要講一個關於自己的實話。輪到我的時候，在睡夢中，我突然好像聽到房間有個 "啪啪" 的聲音，感覺像是有人在敲木板的聲音，我的夢被打斷，醒了。 再回到這個夢裡，因為我像劇中女主角 Liza 一樣，為了得到工作，就隱瞞我的年紀，裝年輕，跟年輕人混在一起。然後一個我過去的老朋友，大概是忌妒我的狀態，就跟我的年輕朋友 Lauren 揭穿我的真實年紀，Lauren 看來十分訝異。我在旁邊看到這一幕，覺得我的朋友很可惡「妳為什麼要揭穿我的年紀？」 然後場景轉到我在一個戶外花園，像是參加一個揭幕儀式，草地上排了很多椅子，賓客們就坐在椅子上。劇中老闆 Charles 在前面開場演說。 現場有個大型的戶外裝飾，演說完就要進行揭幕儀式，準備拉下布簾。看來應該是一個大型的雕像。當布簾拉下那一刻，我還來不及看清楚那是什麼，就醒了。

I dreamed that I was in Korea, joining a tour group. We had to take a bus to meet up at a designated location. The bus was quite unique—it had three sections. The front section was a complete, enclosed compartment, while the two rear sections had no side walls—they were more like open frameworks. It seemed like this type of bus was something special to Korea. I was sitting in the last open section. As the bus kept moving, we reached a curved part of the road. From my position, I could see the front two sections and their structure all at once. I found the view really fascinating and took a photo of it. We eventually arrived at the meeting point. Everyone lined up to head to the next attraction. Our group started walking, but the people in front of me moved so quickly that I had to rush to keep up. I even had to weave through lines of other tourists from different groups. I was worried about getting separated, so I kept trying to stay close to the group ahead, but they were slipping through the crowd, and I started to lose sight of them. Suddenly, I thought, “Wait—what about the group members behind me?” I turned around and saw they were still following. I felt relieved and continued weaving through the crowd, trying to keep up with those ahead. Eventually, we arrived at the next sightseeing spot. The tour guide announced our next destination, and to my surprise, it turned out to be somewhere near my home. (This didn’t really make sense, because I thought I had traveled abroad to Korea for the tour.) The others joked, “Then you didn’t even need to take the bus—you could’ve just met us at the next stop!” I replied, “But no one told me! I thought I was joining a tour.” Still, I thought to myself, “If I hadn’t joined this group, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to ride that unique three-section bus.” I could still remember sitting in that open-air compartment, cruising along the highway, taking in the scenery—it really felt like a special experience. 夢見我像是在韓國。我參加了一個旅遊團，要坐公車，到集合地點集合。 這個公車還蠻特別的，它其實是三節的車廂。前面第一節是完整車廂，而後面兩節車廂的兩側並沒有牆，它是一個車框的造型。反正好像這是韓國特有的公車。我在最後一節的開放車廂。 公車持續行駛中，來到一個弧度轉彎的時候，從我的角度，正好可以同時看到前面兩節車廂與結構，覺得這個景很特別，就拍照下來。 來到了集合地點，大家排隊，要走去下一個景點。 我們這組開始移動，可是我前面的人走得好快，我一直緊跟著，中間還穿越其他旅遊團遊客的排隊隊伍。我怕跟丟，一直想辦法要跟著我前面的團員，可是他們在人群中穿來穿去，我有點看不到他們了。 我突然想起「欸？那些後面跟著我的團員呢？」我回頭，看到他們有跟上，我鬆了一口氣，繼續跟著前面的團員，在人群中到處穿梭。 終於來到這個景點。導遊公佈下一個要去的景點，結果發現就在我家附近 (這段有點不合邏輯，因為我以為我是 "出國" 到韓國參加旅遊團)。 其他團員開玩笑說「那你根本就不用坐車過來，我們可以直接約在下個景點碰面。」我說「可是沒有人跟我說啊！我以為我參加的是旅遊團。」 不過後來我又想「因為參加這個團，我才有機會去坐剛剛那個很特別的三節式公車。」我還記得坐在開放車廂裡，經過高速公路，沿路看著風景，覺得這個經歷蠻特別的…
