和平遊行進行中，一班打扮如賊的人衝出來，手持胡椒球槍等向人群亂射。

During a peaceful protest, a group of people who look like robs, suddenly rushed out, wielding pepper ball guns and other weapons, firing indiscriminately into the crowd.

夢見自己一個人由維園出發，一直喺灰暗嘅天氣底下行到去中環海濱，就係香港嘅遊行路線但只有佢一個人行

Dreamt of embarking on a solitary journey from Victoria Park, traversing under bleak weather to the Central Waterfront, following the common route for protests in Hong Kong, yet I was the only one walking.

夢見細個嘅時候喺分域碼頭麥當勞，同爸爸媽媽一齊睇海景食嘢。

Dreamt of time spent as a child at the McDonald's on the local pier, enjoying the sea view while dining with my parents.

無論發一個乜嘢夢，喺灣仔定喺邊一度，夢中嘅佢都係打大赤腳，無着鞋，所以不停搵緊鞋。

Regardless of the dream, whether in Wan Chai or elsewhere, I was always barefoot, shoeless, hence I was perpetually seeking shoes.

喺維園可以放船仔嘅水池同其他小朋友玩，突然失足跌落水，畀其他小朋友唱有隻雀仔跌落水嚟笑佢。之後Iris畀2個哥哥救起。大哥哥除咗件衫另外一個哥哥除咗條褲畀妹妹着，哥哥們表示自己唔著衫唔緊要，但阿妹唔可以濕住身走，並示意阿妹快啲換返衫。Iris換衫時，兩位哥哥有幫手企係前面遮住。

In Victoria Park, I was playing with other children by the pond where we could sail toy boats. I suddenly slipped and fell into the water, causing the other children to laugh and sing "a bird fell into the water". Later, Iris was rescued by two older brothers. The eldest brother gave his shirt, and the other brother gave his pants to Iris to wear. The brothers insisted it didn't matter if they were shirtless, but Iris should not be wet. They signaled for her to change quickly. As Iris changed, the two brothers stood in front to shield her.

我喺中三嗰陣喺律敦治門口暗殺咗個maths老師。佢本身喺我左手邊同我一齊行緊，條街好迫，所有人都好似向同一個方向行緊嗰種好mechanical工廠式嘅整齊步伐。我係喺人海入面殺咗佢，佢無聲倒下咗，後面嘅人潮繼續踐踏喺佢身體上面一直向前行。我都扮無嘢咁繼續行。呢個係夢中夢，個夢醒咗之後，我返學校話畀同學聽佢死咗，死咗一日都無人知，但無人信我。直至我畀佢地睇我收埋喺校褸左格暗袋支滅聲槍。

In my junior year, I dreamt of assassinating my maths teacher outside of Luard Road. He was walking beside me on a tight street, everyone moving in one direction in a uniform, mechanical march. I killed him amidst the crowd; he fell silently and the crowd continued to step over his body. I continued walking as if nothing happened. This was a dream within a dream; after waking from it, I returned to school and told my classmates about his death. No one knew for a day and no one believed me until I showed them the silenced gun hidden in my school jacket.

夢見係同前度女朋友坐低飲酒（真實發生過嘅情況），後來係一間滿座嘅酒吧WTF入面，居然見到有兩個勁多鬍鬚嘅鬼佬入嚟，佢（一位男裝打扮女同性戀）好無情理之下，去咗同兩個鬼佬打茄輪，夢境由開心變成惡夢。佢非常之深刻，亦表示係現實中絕對唔會出現嘅行為。呢個夢係喺上年分手之後兩個半月左右發，當其時嘅酒吧可以開到夜晚凌晨兩點。佢喺分手嘅悲痛裏面。

Dreamt of having some drinks with my ex-girlfriend (an event that actually transpired). We were in a crowded bar named "WTF" when two bearded foreigners entered.

This dream occurred around two and a half months after our breakup, when bars could stay open until 2 a.m. She was engulfed in sorrow from the breakup.

夢見自己小時候被父母遺忘在分域碼頭，獨自一人在一旁哭泣，突然有一位長滿鬍鬚的外藉男人走過來，我嚇得馬上跑走，然後被他抱起，正當我以為自己要被壞人拐之際，他將我舉高並向住遠處大喊，最後成功回到爸媽身邊。

Dreamt of being left behind by my parents at a local pier during my childhood, crying alone. Suddenly, a bearded foreign man approached. Startled, I attempted to run away, but he picked me up. Just as I thought I was about to be kidnapped, he lifted me up and shouted towards the distance, ultimately returning me to my parents.

細個有朋友住係灣仔，要搭船去探佢。

As a child, a friend of mine lived in Wan Chai, and I remember taking a boat to visit them.

曾經係灣仔修頓遊樂場同好多人傾計到夜深。試過夢見由滑梯起飛。

I've spent many late nights conversing with friends at the Southern Playground in Wan Chai. I dreamt of flying up along with the slide.

曾經參與過pride遊行，覺得開心又改變緊社會，但2019年後諗法改變。夢境令發夢人聯想居於灣仔修頓日常嘅觀察。

I once took part in a Pride parade, which filled me with happiness and the sense that we were instigating societal change. However, my perspective shifted post-2019. The dream prompted me to reflect on my daily observations living in Southern, Wan Chai.

我個夢係一個都好慌忙嘅夢嚟嘅。一開頭呢，我喺個機場裏面啦，咁同我媽媽同埋細佬呢就趕緊飛機，一路拖住行李篋呢，就響個離境大堂一路跑，跑去個閘口。咁過程裏面呢，就一路都問我媽媽同埋細佬：「點解會遲到？我哋點解會趕飛機㗎？」咁就好急燥啦。咁一路跑一路跑，推開咗道門之後呢，咁就去咗一個酒店嘅大堂。咁都仲係喺度跑，一路跑一路跑。成個過程係好急、好慌張、好忙亂。咁然後將酒店大堂嘅門一推開之後呢，就嚟咗一條街度。我印象中呢個街道呢，就係面對住和昌大押嘅。咁我向住和昌大押呢，就見到有一對男女，企咗喺大押嘅出面。喺白色嘅牆襯托底下呢，佢兩個係好似發緊光咁樣啦。嗰個係我個ex啦，同埋喺佢隔離企住一個女仔。個女仔係好光好白，着住一件白色裇衫，同埋一條淺色卡其色嘅褲。佢哋仲拖住一隻黑色嘅唐狗啦。我嗰一刻個感覺係覺得，好狼狽啦我自己，咁但係呢我望到對面街嘅𠵱兩個人同埋隻狗呢，個感覺係好peaceful，同埋我係好嚮往嘅，所以點解佢哋會好發光。而黑色唐狗都係我一路以嚟都講我想養，咁所以嗰個可能係我對於我自己嚮往嘅將來嘅一個projection。

The dreamer had a frantic dream where they were rushing through an airport with their mother and younger brother, trying to catch a flight. The dream was filled with panic and chaos. Eventually, they found themselves in a hotel lobby and then on a street facing Woo Cheong Pawn Shop in Wan Chai. Across the street, dreamer saw her ex-boyfriend and another woman, who appeared radiant and were walking a black tang dog. This image brought a sense of peace and longing to the dreamer. The dreamer associates Wan Chai with their dating days, where she and her ex-boyfriend used to visit historical sites and had meaningful conversations with their ex-boyfriend. Despite not having vivid memories of Woo Cheong Pawn Shop or Wan Chai in reality, it holds significance in her dreams. She thinks the glowing image of the couple and the refreshing scent in the dream might represent the her aspirations and desires.

我朝頭早就去摩理臣山泳池，喺更衣室換咗衫之後呢，就經過長長嘅走廊啦，咁走廊兩邊呢就係有好彩色玻璃。跟住就去訓練池嗰度，教練呢就帶住成班學員熱身。咁大約呢就去到七點五十分呢，我就會望住個鐘呢，就夠鐘要上水。點解咁呢？因為我要準備返工呀。主要我呢就喺金鐘返工嘅，咁我平時都希望多啲運動，所以呢，中段時間呢就會喺摩理臣山游水。

In my dream about Wan Chai, I envisioned myself heading to Morrison Hill Swimming Pool early in the morning. After changing my clothes in the locker room, I found myself walking down a long corridor adorned with colourful glass on both sides. Subsequently, I made my way to the training pool where a coach was leading a group of students in warm-up exercises. Around 7:50 AM, I would find myself glancing at the clock, as it was nearly time to get in the water. And why was that? Because I needed to prepare heading to work.

Hello！我喺灣仔嘅夢係點呢？其實係因為有一次參加咗灣仔街道導賞團，嗰次見到好多霓虹燈嘅相喺莊士敦道嗰度。咁以前嘅霓虹燈原來有好多好多嘅。咁但係𠵱家已經拆淨得返幾個。咁嗰下就覺得好大嘅衝擊，所以嗰晚就發咗一個關於灣仔嘅夢。

The dreamer explains that her dream about Wan Chai was influenced by a previous experience of taking a guided tour of the streets in Wan Chai. During the tour, she saw many colorful neon lights, particularly on Johnston Road. She was amazed by the abundance of neon lights in the past, but now there are only a few remaining. This realization had a significant impact on them, and as a result, she had a dream about Wan Chai that night.

個夢呢，就係我喺班房度啦，入面好多同學好熱鬧好開心嘅。好多人喺度傾偈呀、玩呀，時間應該係啱啱返學未打鐘。咁我哋個班房有個小窗口，係可以望到堅尼地道𠵱條行人路嘅。咁我同我朋友呢，就開咗個窗口啦，對住條街，扮畀人困住咗，跟住係咁向街上嘅人係咁揮手，大嗌：「救命呀！救我哋出嚟啊！」好好笑咁樣嘅。

The dreamer describes a dream where she was in a classroom with many classmates, and everyone was lively and happy. They were chatting and playing, and it seemed to be right after school before the bell rang. The classroom had a small window that overlooked a pedestrian path on Canal Road. The dreamer and her friends decided to open the window and pretend to be trapped, waving their hands and calling for help from the people on the street, saying, "Help us! Rescue us!" It was a funny and amusing scenario.

個夢呢就係喺2021年或者之前發嘅，咁但係個夢境就係2019年啦。嗰陣呢就見到喺軒尼詩道一帶，就好多人就跑跑⋯⋯追追趕趕咁樣。嗰刻就發現好似有水炮車衝緊過嚟。但係喺嗰幕，我諗我個位置可能跑到去天樂里附近啦，對出呢就係，喺富德樓樓下咁樣，對住快活谷嘅。睇到原本一個好緊張，好intense嘅環境嘅氣氛，變咗好平靜。對出嘅馬路本身好多人，好多人跑嘅路，變咗一條河咁樣，就有唔同嘅船隻咁樣慢慢駛過。記得最遠對住快活谷嗰度有一個好大嘅船經過咁樣，嗰個環境、嗰個氣氛好似變得好平靜。見到本身追追趕趕嘅人唔知去咗邊個地方，唔知離開去邊個地方坐住船。就係咁喇，其實我夢就係一個無啦啦咁嘅轉變啦。

The dream the person had took place in either 2021 or the previous year, but the setting of the dream was in 2019. She saw a scene on Nathan Road where many people were running and chasing each other. She noticed what seemed to be a water cannon truck rushing by. In that moment, they realized they might have run to the vicinity of Tin Lok Lane, right across from Foo Tak Building facing the entrance of Happy Valley. The atmosphere, which was initially tense and intense, suddenly became calm. The road across from them, where people had been running, transformed into a river with different boats slowly passing by. She distinctly remember a large boat passing by in the distance, near Happy Valley. The environment and atmosphere seemed to have become peaceful. She saw the people who had been chasing each other disappear, not knowing where they went or which boat they boarded. In essence, the dream represented a sudden transformation without any clear direction.

發過一個關於灣仔嘅夢，雖然當初發夢嘅時候，唔係好知道嗰個地方喺邊度，直至有一次偶然嘅機會散下步，好似同自己嘅夢境重遇。見到嗰個夢中出現嘅地方，我覺得好神奇。嗰個夢係一個夏天嘅落雨嘅晏晝，大概係三點半、四點鐘？做完嘢想出嚟行吓。咁行吓行吓呢，就行到去一個公園度。嗰個地方周圍全部都係好高嘅樹，樹葉好大、好密，樹高到好似睇唔到天空喺邊度。個畫面係綠色嘅，同埋可以喺空氣當中聞到落雨之後嘅泥土嘅味道，同埋樹嘅味道。正當我想行前少少睇嘅時候發現，原來喺𠵱個樹林嘅中間，有一個好似足球場嘅地方，但係球場上面無人踢波嘅，而球場嘅表面，認真睇，佢又唔係球場，係水嚟嘅。發現原來球場變咗一個泳池，泳池顏色係綠色同埋藍色mix埋一齊嘅。泳池好似好深，我坐喺𠵱一個球場嘅泳池邊，一個人坐低喺度，除咗鞋。夏天嚟嘅，覺得好熱，好想喺𠵱個moment將自己嘅兩隻腳浸落去𠵱一個球場一樣嘅泳池當中。無諗過落去游水，淨係靜靜地就咁坐喺泳池邊，一路坐一路呼吸，一路觀察身邊好高、好密嘅樹。嗰一刻有一種好fresh，好release嘅感覺。然後嗰個夢呢，就係一陣草青味當中就完結咗喇。

I once had a dream about Wan Chai Park on a rainy summer afternoon. In the dream, I was walking through a forested area filled with tall trees and lush foliage that obscured the sky. I stumbled upon a pool that resembled a football field, with water that was a blend of green and blue. I sat alone by the pool, observing the trees around me and craving to dip my feet in the water to relax and refresh myself, as I was feeling stressed. Although I didn't swim in the dream, the thought of touching the water felt like I could float and release the tensions of daily life. This dream reflects my enjoyment of parks in Hong Kong as quiet corners to find peace. If I revisited this dream, I'd want a companion, maybe my cat, sitting with me by the pool. And I would try to fully immerse myself in the water to experience that freeing, soothing feeling. The dream took place in Wan Chai Park, a place tied to memories from working and living there that I still feel deep affection for, though it's fading as I spend less time in the area.

我好肯定，𠵱個係一個關於灣仔夢境嘅故仔。發生應該係喺大回歸之後好耐好耐。我個人當時喺邊度呢？喺加拿大？定係喺香港？我唔記得，但係個夢好肯定，就係喺軒尼詩道。我行緊過去，我要行去集成中心，我喺集成中心嘅對面，起碼有六條車嘅路線。有一個叮叮，有巴士係好快好快，向緊金鐘嘅方向行走，我係要過嗰條馬路，啲車行得很快，我應該係衝過去，定係我應該要停一下，喺個安全島上面呢？我應該曲線過去，定係直線過去呢？𠵱個夢係咪因為同我第一次，隔咗好多年之後再返翻香港嗰個時候個感覺呢？一種好緊張、我唔係好知道、好陌生、係唔係我熟悉嘅地方，𠵱個係唔係一個關於我同香港再相遇嘅地方呢？

I'm sure that this is a dream about Wan Chai. It occurred long long after the Handover. Where was I in real life at that time? Was I in Canada? Or was I in Hong Kong? I don't remember, but I'm sure the dream was set on Hennessy Road. I was walking towards C.C.Wu Building from the opposite side of the road with at least six traffic lanes. There was a tram and a bus going really fast towards Admiralty. I needed to cross that busy road, but the vehicles were moving so fast. Should I have dashed across? Or should I have paused at the pedestrian island? Should I have taken a curved path or a straight one to cross? Was this dream somehow connected to my feelings when I returned to Hong Kong after a long time? The feeling of anxiety, uncertainty, unfamiliarity... I feel unsure if this was the place I used to know—was this dream about my reunion with Hong Kong?

我嘅夢係關於我搭公共交通工具，成日都去唔到我自己本身想去嘅目的地，而去兜咗一啲好遙遠嘅地方，都唔係可以自己控制到，咁所以就通常喺夢嗰啲⋯⋯去到嗰個環節你就會醒咗，咁就會覺得自己好似其實唔知自己生活嗰個目標其實係咪唔清晰呀？定係話其實以為自己搵到生活嘅目標，但係又唔係好肯定嗰個係咪一個正確，或者係咪真係自己想去達成嘅一啲嘅理想。咁所以我會覺得，𠵱個夢其實有時會喺灣仔或者其他區發生啦，咁因為我喺灣仔都工作咗好多年嘅，咁可能有少少覺得係咪自己嘅工作會唔會，唔係真係自己鍾意嘅嘢呀，定係話𠵱個地方其實未必真係話我係想要嘅一個目的地囉。

My dream is about taking public transportation, but never get to my intended destination. Instead, I ended up somewhere far-off which was out of my control. That’s why at some point you would usually wake up from the dream. It leaves me questioning whether my life goals are unclear, or whether I've found my life goals, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the right one, or if it’s really something I wanna achieve. So, I feel like this dream could take place in Wan Chai or anywhere else. I've been working in Wan Chai for many years, but I also wonder if my job is really what I enjoy, or if this place is genuinely the destination I desire.

個夢境當下嘅時空⋯⋯大約十四、十五年前左右啦。咁我當時係一個中學生，咁就記得呢係放學之後呢，係一個下晝嚟嘅。咁就要過嚟演藝嗰度呢，就搵老師上堂，上樂器。係喇，咁我好記得當我嚟到演藝嘅門口嘅時候呢，就發現佢啲門lock哂喎，入極都入唔到嚟喎，咁於是我就用咗好多方法去周圍搵後門呀、爆門呀，咁先至入到去演藝學院嘅內部。

I had a dream about the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (APA) in Wan Chai when I was in secondary school, around 14-15 years old. In the dream, I arrived at APA one afternoon after school for my music lesson, but the doors were all locked. I tried finding ways to get inside, like a backdoor or forcing my way in. The dream had a large paper phoenix in the lobby, which stood out to me, along with the color of the carpet.

我發𠵱個夢呢就喺永樂里附近嘅一個公園仔啦，咁個夢境呢就係，我喺𠵱個公園仔坐嗰時呢，食晏嗰時就好悠閒呢，聽吓鳥聲啊，聽吓水聲啊，睇吓啲附近嘅行人走來走去。咁但係呢有一次呢，就無端端有一班人呢，就喺𠵱個公園仔嘅上邊呢，就嗌我走上去，佢就話：「你哋快啲爬上嚟啦！」咁樣。咁於是乎呢，我又鼓起勇氣咁樣爬上去。好辛苦，係咁爬吓行吓，但係呢，莫名其妙咁樣呢，就跌咗落嚟。咁跟住呢，個夢境就醒咗喇。

My dream was in a small Wan Chai park near Wing Lok Lane where I sat eating lunch and listening to birds, enjoying the hustle and bustle. Suddenly people shouted for me to climb up. I tried climbing but fell and woke up. In reality, I've worked here 20+ years, often going to Sun, Moon, Star Streets. My daily life infiltrates my dreams.

我喺灣仔個夢就發生喺一條大斜路嗰度，咁嗰條大斜路呢其實就係石水渠街。咁個夢裏面呢我應該就要⋯⋯我記得呢，我就應該同一個或者兩個朋友啦，或者屋企人，就要喺石水渠街行上行落囉。咁其實行上行落呢又唔係講話行完上去就即刻行落去嘅，而係呢我應該，行上去呢，我喺堅彌地街有個位呢有啲嘢做，咁做咗啲嘢之後呢，就要好急咁樣行返落去灣仔其他地方。

My dream took place on a steep road in Wan Chai, which is Stone Nullah Lane in reality. In the dream, I remember I was supposed to be walking up and down this street with one or two friends, or perhaps family members. However, walking was more than just going straight up and down. Instead, I got something to do on Kennedy Street after walking up there. After getting something done, I needed to rush back down to somewhere else in Wan Chai.The temporal span of the dream was quite extended, possibly covering an entire day. It started in the early morning with me walking up through Stone Nullah Lane from Queen's Road East, getting something done by midday, and then getting to other places in Wan Chai. Later, around three or four in the afternoon, I went up again and got down later on. So, within a single day, I have gone up and down several times. I remember being in a rush the whole time, no matter going up or down. I was walking at a fast pace, not running, but taking large steps. I wanted to go faster, and it felt like I could never reach the end of the steep road.

我喺灣仔嘅夢境係喺藍屋嗰條路啦，跟住我就係純粹經過㗎啫。跟住就繼續直行啦，去到𠵱一個Hopewell Centre。但係發夢之前呢⋯⋯即係發喺灣仔嘅夢之前呢，其實係發緊另一個夢。跟住呢，發完灣仔𠵱個夢呢，其實係發緊另一個夢，係好似⋯⋯嗯⋯⋯純粹好似⋯⋯十秒鐘？一個好似類似⋯⋯flashback？咁樣樣。從藍屋行去Hopewell Centre呢，就⋯⋯我好有印象，吖！見到藍色嘅屋呀，跟住就認得出，吖！𠵱個就係灣仔！因為我之前喺𠵱度返工嘅，咁我之前返工呢，其實係行上𠵱個藍屋嗰條路，跟住所以我先認得吖！𠵱度係灣仔啦。跟住繼續行行行，跟住呢就見到一個啡色嘅牆啦。應該嗰個位呢係有銀行啦、灣仔郵局啦，但係嗰個位呢係完全冇嘢嘅，係得一幢啡色嘅牆。咁喺𠵱個牆上面呢，好似⋯⋯有慢慢一個一個筆畫咁樣出嚟啦，又係閃嘅，又係藍綠色咁樣樣啦，一個一個筆畫出嚟，好似製造一個藝術品啦，一棵類似樹咁樣樣啦，我覺得，吖！好神奇呀，好靚但我一路行行行，我行得好快，好似我平時返工，去返工嘅速度啦。跟住其實我一路行一路望住、一路望住。唉，但係我都無得留得太耐，跟住就都係繼續行啦，跟住就無再繼續睇啦。

My dream in Wan Chai took place on the road near the Blue House, and I was simply passing through. Then I continued on my path towards the Hopewell Centre. However, beyond this dream, I was actually in the midst of another dream. Like after the end of this Wan Chai dream, I immediately transitioned into another dream, which was almost just a ten-second flashback.In the journey from the Blue House to Hopewell Centre, I vividly remember seeing the blue-colored house and realizing, "Ah! This is Wan Chai!" I used to work around here, and this road to the Blue House was my route heading to work, and that’s why I recognized this place as Wan Chai. I continued walking in the dream, and I noticed a brown wall. This location should have housed a bank and the Wan Chai Post Office, but in my dream, all that area was empty but just a brown wall. On this wall, something akin to brush strokes began to slowly appear, glowing in blue and green hues. It was as if an artwork was being created, somewhat resembling a tree. I thought, "Ah! How magical and beautiful!" However, I kept walking at a brisk pace, similar to my usual speed when commuting to work. All the while I kept an eye on the wall. I didn't have the luxury to linger, so I continued my journey without further observation.

我記得我嘅夢境嘅內容就係，有一日我如常咁樣同媽咪一齊返工啦，咁喺修頓球場行返去舖頭。嗰陣時舖頭就喺聖佛蘭士街上面。咁會經過廈門街呀，會經過汕頭街嗰一頭。咁記得嗰個夢入面呢就係我同媽咪行過，跟住落雨喎。咁好大雨咁我哋就企咗喺一個鐵閘有個簷蓬前面避雨啦。咁我哋避避吓雨嘅時候就發現，隻眼角上面有啲嘢喺度郁吓郁吓，咁我哋就望上去啦，咁就發現咗一隻好大隻嘅蜘蛛。隻蜘蛛係，我記得係好多毛嘅，啲手手腳腳呀，個身呀，全部都黑色嗰啲毛，好核突。跟住，個夢就大概係咁樣，跟住我就嚇醒咗。

My dream, as I recall, took place on a day when I accompanied my mom to work. We walked from Southorn Playground to our shop situated on St. Francis Street. On our way, we passed by Amoy Street and Swatow Street. In the dream, it started to rain heavily while we were walking, so we took shelter underneath a canopy in front of a metal gate. As we were waiting for the rain to stop, my mom and I noticed something was moving. Looking up, we discovered a huge, hairy spider. Its body and legs were covered in prominent black hair. The dream ended there, and I woke up feeling scared.

我嘅夢呢，就係小學嘅時候發生喺灣仔公園。我就係夢見到我自己一個人去咗公園度玩，跟住，我就係瀡落去一條滑梯度啦，而嗰條滑梯上面就係佈滿咗一啲不同品種嘅蝴蝶，跟住我一瀡落去嘅時候呢，嗰啲蝴蝶就係喺嗰度不停⋯⋯啲蝴蝶就係即時就係飛走咁樣囉。咁樣，跟住就係會見到好多蝴蝶喺眼前咁樣囉。我望到只係一個畫面囉，佢就係無一個前因後果。小學嘅時候，日日都會同細佬啊，同埋啲小學同學落去一齊玩咁樣囉。所以，灣仔公園對於我之前細個嚟講，應該都係一個經常去嘅地方咁樣。

My dream took me back to my primary school days in Wan Chai Park. In the dream, I found myself playing on a slide alone in the park. Interestingly, the slide was covered with various species of butterflies. As I began to slide down, the butterflies were flying away immediately. Consequently, I was immersed because numerous butterflies fluttered in front of me. This dream was like a flashback, lacking any clear cause or consequence. During my primary school years, I visited the park daily and played with my siblings and schoolmates. So, to me, Wan Chai Park was a frequent haunt.

我個夢就好簡單嘅啫，就係夢見自己，喺灣仔道嗰度呢，好急急咁樣就行過咗，見到喺國泰商場對面嗰度有個新起嘅商場就落成咗，但係呢因為我唔知趕緊啲咩時間，就經過咗個商場上唔到去。夢入面呢，我就知道嗰個商場應該有啲新嘅遊戲機呀同埋game呢就出咗。但係我夢入邊就好悔恨咁樣呢，就上唔到去。

My dream was brief, but upon reflection, it resonated with my childhood and adolescent years when I had a keen interest in video games. It also stirred up my memories of the small shopping malls that emerged in Wan Chai during the 1980s. One such establishment was the Ocean Centre, located across from the Cathay 88. My parents often took me there when I was young, where I would delight in riding the electric horses and planes. Surprisingly, even now, I find myself dreaming about passing by that area.

因為我爸爸係一個消防員啦，咁所以好自然我出世嘅時候，兩歲嘅時候我就住喺嗰度喇。個夢境就係講，我當時應該係十五、六歲左右𠵱一個年紀啦，我係有一個失控嘅阿妹嘅，咁個阿妹就可能兩、三歲左右啦，好百厭㗎，成日喺度又要跳窗呀，跟住，啲晾衫架嗰啲繩掛到周圍都係佢又會想擒出去呀咁樣。咁然後我阿爸因為係消防員吖嘛。所以成日都要返工on call 廿四個鐘啦，咁佢準備返工嘅時候呢，佢就交帶我，就話：「你一定要睇實你阿妹呀吓！你唔好再畀你阿妹咁樣擒窗走呀，你要盡好做家姐嘅責任。」咁然後我就覺得：「唉，OK！即係我一定要控制佢啦。」咁而我阿媽呢就喺我間房到瞓緊覺嘅。咁啱電視啦⋯⋯係個公仔箱嚟嘅嗰個年代，播緊一個新聞。咁而嗰個新聞呢就係講盧凱彤啦，即係at17嘅其中一個成員，咁佢就因為燥鬱症所以自殺身亡嘅一個新聞咁樣。咁我嗰陣見到𠵱個新聞呢好傷心。咁正喺𠵱個途中嘅時候呢，我阿妹又發癲喇。跟住佢就喺度又衝咗出門口啦無端端。跟住又尖叫，又嗌又喊又剩。跟住又擒出窗，之後我就覺得好煩啦，因為我已經控制咗佢好多次，而喺同一個時間我阿爸又折返翻嚟。咁跟住之後佢就話我喇：「你睇吓！你又管唔住你阿妹喇，你睇吓？你點做人家姐㗎⋯⋯」咁係咁喺度鬧鬧鬧鬧。跟住佢鬧完之後又走咗，因為佢真係要返工。咁我嗰刻我就覺得好無助啦，因為我阿媽繼續喺度瞓緊啦。然後我阿妹又就嚟跳落去，跟住我就好想⋯⋯我嗰刻係即刻拎起咗把刀啦，然之後我就喺度諗緊：「我不如殺鬼咗你啦，我推你落去啦，唔使煩喇。」咁樣。咁然之後，但係行到去我阿妹身後嘅時候啦，咁我又覺得我落唔到手喎。然之後我又突然間有個thought change，我又覺得，即係，不如我死啦。即係⋯⋯係，我唔知我可以做啲乜呀因為。咁然後我就真係拎住把刀諗住⋯⋯唔知自殺？𠝹手？即係我都諗唔到嘅，但係總之就有一個咁嘅念頭啦。喺𠵱個念頭萌生咗嘅嗰個moment，突然間呢，盧凱彤嘅靈魂就出現咗喇。跟住我好記得佢係喺後面咁樣啦，攬住我咁樣。然後嗰陣時，我就唔知點解我就係咁喊。跟住，我係覺得好心痛。即係我見到佢係有種百感交集，然後好似係我同佢係拍過拖呀，然後嗰種，知道佢走咗啦，撕心裂肺呀、痛呀咁樣啦。跟住我就攬住佢啦，跟住佢就同我講，佢話：「我知呀，嚟緊你學校呢仲有個歌唱比賽呀，你唔好死住呀知唔知呀，唔好放棄呀。其實你𠵱家行緊嘅路係啱㗎，你有時做嘅決定係⋯⋯即係你要繼續行你覺得應該要行嘅路呀。」咁跟住之後，佢又同我講，佢話：「嗱，如果呢，你𠵱家咁樣自殺死咗呢，你就上唔到天堂㗎啦喎，你係咪想見唔到我吖？」咁樣樣。咁呢之後我就話：「吓，但係你都⋯⋯」即係佢都係自殺㗎嘛。咁然後佢就話：「唔同嘅，因為我係⋯⋯」即係佢係算係一個有疾病嘅狀態，所以就，佢就話佢係可以上天堂嘅。咁然之後佢就話：「係囉，咁所以你想見到我嘅話，你就唔準死住喇喎，知唔知呀？」我嗰時係真係好⋯⋯係咁喊係咁喊係咁喊。跟住我攬住佢，跟住我就醒咗。

In this teenage dream, I had to care for my reckless little sister while my firefighter father was at work. A news report announced the suicide of Ellen Loo, upsetting me. My sister tried climbing out the window again just as my father returned, scolding me for being unable to control her. Feeling helpless with my mother asleep and sister about to jump, I impulsively considered harming my sister or myself. But Ellen Loo's spirit appeared, hugging and comforting me, saying I must not give up on life or the upcoming singing competition at school. She said I was on the right path and had to continue believing in myself.

我喺灣仔嘅夢呢，係發生喺汕頭街嘅電車站，至到去金鐘高等法院嘅電車站，同我爸爸一齊搭𠵱一程嘅電車。咁當其時係爸爸啱啱過咗身無幾耐嘅，咁就係個電車上面我地有一段對話。𠵱段對話同我嘅生活都幾息息相關，因為爸爸就係一個中醫師嚟嘅，佢生前。咁每次我新搬去一個地方，佢都會擔心我有無相熟嘅中醫，或者藥材舖可以執到藥呀，或者可以幫我應急，唔使下下都等佢嚟。

而嗰次喺個夢境當中，佢就同我講將我交托咗畀蔡醫師，同埋一個鐵打嘅羅師傅。咁其實我都覺得幾特別，因為我唔係咁多睇鐵打嘅講真，我整傷都唔會去睇嘅人嚟嘅。

咁同埋點解佢會交托我畀一個中醫師呢，我都覺得好奇怪，因為𠵱個醫師我一啲都唔熟。 我記得爸爸交代完蔡醫師、羅師傅之後，佢好突然同我講咗句：「落車喇，你𠵱個站好落車喇。」我諗：點解要落車呢？𠵱個時候我反問：「你唔係同我一齊落㗎？」佢話：「 唔係，我要繼續向前行。你要𠵱個站落車返轉頭。」嗰時我好奇怪，好聽話衝落車。個夢就喺𠵱個時候醒咗。

In this dream, I rode a tram with my late father from Swatow Street to Admiralty. He worried about my health and said he entrusted me to Chinese medicine practitioners Mr. Choi and Mr. Lo. I wondered why as I don't usually see practitioners. My father then said this was my stop and I must get off while he kept going. I obediently disembarked, confused.
