subject: An Explanation Of The Chinese Dream Dictionary [print this page] When a person wakes from their slumber it is not unknown that a friend or family member will ask this person whether they have had a visit from Grandmaster Zhou to talk things through. You may be wondering why this is? Well I will explain to you today this and other facts about the Chinese dream dictionary.
Another name that the grandmaster Zhou is called by is Zhong Gong. The grandmaster Zhou was alive roughly 3000 years ago. The importance of him when it comes to your dreams is that he is known to be the creator of the first Chinese dream dictionary. When it was created the name for it back then was Zhou Gongs book of Auspicious and Inauspicious dreams. Legend says that grandmaster Zhou is also the creator of another book known as the Yi Qing. That is why if you have woken from a dream people around you in China or from a Chinese household will ask you if you visited Grandmaster Zhou.
Within a book called the Chinese Almanac is an extract of the Zhou Gong book. Many people who have a Chinese origin keep this book in their house. Many people use this book as a reference after someone has a dream that they can remember after they have woken. This book is especially useful if the dream could be seen as strange with no obvious meaning.
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.
You will find that some of the interpretations will make sense to you such as if you were to dream of eating a cooked turkey over one that has not been cooked you would see this as being lucky, and so is the same interpretation when it comes to dreaming of such an occurrence. There are other interpretations that just don't make sense at all and may be something that you would not think you would ever dream of.
The not so logical interpretations will be something like a dream of a snake that is blue in color and this could also be a good sign, or sheltering from the rain under a shared umbrella can indicate separation from a close one.
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.
If you were to take every interpretation as if it were real then you could end up paranoid or maybe hopeful about something which is not to happen so you should see the readings as a guidance yet follow your heart as to what you really feel.
One book that is an emperors medicine classic was created more than 4000 years ago, and this book was used with the original book of dreams to determine certain ailments without a physical examination, only based on the dreams that the patient had recently had.
The way this was done is that when one was to dream of something that is upsetting or scary then this was related to a deficiency within the body. One example of this is that if you were to dream that you were falling then this would indicate that somewhere in the upper body is deficient and that the lower body has too much of something.
This may not be your interpretation but this is how a dream is interpreted according to the Chinese dream dictionary.
