What Is The Chinese Dream Dictionary?

When you have woken from a nap or a good nights sleep in china do not be surprised if you are asked if you have visited grandmaster Zhou for a chat. The reason for this will be revealed as well as other questions you may have about the Chinese Dream Dictionary dream dictionary.


The Grandmaster Zhou is known by another name also which is Zhong Gong. Grandmaster Zhou lived about 3000 years ago and the reason he is so important when it comes to the Chinese dictionary is that he is known to have made the first Chinese dream dictionary. It was then known as Zhou Gongs book of Auspicious and Inauspicious dreams. If you follow legends you will realize that Grandmaster Zhou was also the person thought to have created the book of changes which is called the Yi Qing. This is why when you are in a dream many people say it is as though you have visited the Grandmaster Zhou himself.


While reading the Chinese Almanac there is a section of it that is a part of Zhou Gongs book. This is a book that is commonplace in a lot of houses of Chinese people. This book is commonly referred to in Chinese households when someone has woken up and wishes to know the meaning of their dream especially if it a strange one.


You will find 7 categories within the Chinese Almanac. Anything you will dream about is within these categories and anything that does not come under the first 6 will be covered by the section miscellaneous. You can find everything about dreams within this book which is why you are able to refer to it no matter the oddity of your slumber.


The logic of the Dream Intepretation can seem like common sense although this is not always the case. Dreams that would come under this category would be things like eating meat that has been cooked rather than eating meat that is raw would be a sign of luck.


One interpretation that does not make as much sense is the one where dreaming of a blue snake would mean luck, or that if you were to share an umbrella with someone then you will separate from someone close to you.


Some of the other interpretations may seem down right odd, one such dream that could mean you separating from your partner could be if you were to dream of marrying, another is that if your wife in the dream is pregnant this would show that she is with another man without your knowledge.


Taking all of the dream indications to heart could mean that you come to the wrong conclusion about something which is why you should not take any of the readings too seriously, especially if it is to do with any relationship.


The is a classic book the emperors medicine classic that is more than 4000 years old to date. With using the Meaning of Dreams as well as other ways medical problems were determined depending on what the patient had dreamed off recently.


One example of such a diagnosis would be that if someone was to have a dream that had made them frightened or even upset them it would mean that the persons body was suffering from an imbalance. If a person was to dream they were falling then this would point out that the top part of the body was lacking in something, where as the bottom of the body would have too much of something.


This may not be your interpretation but this is how a dream is interpreted according to the Chinese dream dictionary.
