After receiving my dissertation approval, I dreamt I was in the Cheong Jeong Gung Museum, standing before Holy Mother Han. She sat on a white throne, similar to the one she sat in on Foundation Day, wearing the same bright, sparkling yellow suit. From a few meters away, I heard her say, "Goh-ma-wuh~~~~~ Goh-ma-wuh~~~" ("Thank you, thank you," in English). Her voice was both loving and piercing, her face radiant as she spoke.
As she leaned to her right repeating her thanks, I noticed something dark swirling around her. Curious, I found myself floating behind her throne to investigate. When I focused on the dark movement, I asked it to slow down, revealing about ten dark spirits resembling the malevolent orcs from "The Lord of the Rings." Though I felt shocked and concerned for Holy Mother Han, her face remained serene, completely unfazed by their presence.
When I awoke, I was deeply moved by Holy Mother Han's acknowledgment of my work, but this dream revealed something far more profound. It showed me the spiritual challenges she faces daily, while demonstrating her remarkable strength and unwavering resolve in the presence of darkness.
