This morning’s dream was not fun to watch. I was working for a big corporation at a higher position. I was one of the management group. People envied me for my high rank and high salary. One day, when I went to the office, everything was changed. The people were different, and the office layout was different. I finally noticed the company name at the entrance was different from mine. Then my cell phone rang. It was from my supervisor. He was mad at me for not being at the new office. I told him nobody told me anything about moving. I didn’t know where the new office was located. He didn’t believe me and fired me from the position and hung up the phone.
Then I woke up. I still vividly remembered all the details. Although all the characters in my dreams were the local people whom I knew in this land; America, I went through the similar event in Japan.
For a while after I woke up, I was filled with anger. Why the supervisor fired me without giving me another chance? I knew the reason why nobody told me about the moving of the office. It was because of their jealous toward me. In the corporation, nobody could built trust between workers. Nobody could talk anything from our heart. Everybody was enemy to one another. When one worker is fired, that means one spot becomes available. It was a very sad environment. Everybody was suffered from the old concept that we had to keep on going upward in the hierarchical rank to be successful and to make money. The old concept told us that we have to keep winning in the competition.
Then, I started calming myself down. It was a past. I am not in the environment anymore. I am not in the midst of competition world anymore. I am away from the business world. I am living my life peacefully. I am comfortably going downstream. I am loving the current environment where I am.
This realization reminded me of the Japanese movie Oriteyuku Ikikata (2009) (降りてゆく生き方). I haven’t watched this movie yet because this movie is not available in DVD or television program. I have read the concept of this movie, and I am interested in watching it. I hope someday I will have an opportunity. From watching some summarized versioned of short videos and reading the introduction story, I think this movie encourages Japanese people to live with our truth. The truth is that we are not here to join into the competition world. We are not here to hurt somebody. We are here to regain true ourselves. Our soul shines when we make others happy. Our soul shines when we follow our true inner voice. That kind of lifestyle looks like going downstream. And it is good and true for our soul.
