Trying to understand our dreams is as old as history.
Three thousand years ago, Grandmaster Zhou Gong, who lived during the Zhou Dynasty, wrote the book of Auspicious and Inauspicious Dreams.
Freud-Sigmund.com says, Zhou Gong’s book “is a book that is commonplace in a lot of houses of Chinese people.”
When someone wakes up and wants to know the meaning of a dream, he or she opens that book.
Zhou Gong wrote that there were seven dream categories. For example, if you dream of the sun or moon rising, your family will be prosperous, educated and have good jobs.
However, if you dream of dirty clothing covered with mud, your wife’s pregnancy will be challenging.
This video is a short documentary about Chinese interpretations and the meanings of dreams in relation to past lives.
Selfgrowth.com has a post that goes into detail with examples of Zhou Gong’s categories. The interpretations range from good luck to bad.
There’s also a book on Chinese Medicine that has a section about how dreams help with a medical diagnosis.
Sad dreams are due to a deficiency of ‘qi’ in the heart and liver or of ‘yin’ in the liver meaning, you might have liver disease and tuberculosis. Source: Absolutely Feng Shui
