If real life is a non-fiction literature, then dreams are short novels, but in fact, dreams are more like short poems. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info extremely romantic, wonderful, and even absurd, such as imaginative, ethereal, and complicated and disorderly. Novels and poems are literary works that we can appreciate and experience, but dreams are a reflection and subconscious of our mind, which should be part of our life experiences and feelings in life. Perhaps because of its nothingness and absurdity, it is easy to ignore its existence. However, we should think about the fact that we spend one-third of our lives sleeping, which means that there will be many, many dreams that accompany us throughout our lives. Although it cannot be owned by us in its true form, it is a kind of film and television and feeling of our mind and subconscious, which not only enriches our hearts and feelings, but also allows us to have a life experience that is completely different from reality.

The scientific interpretation of dreams is that the brain secretes various chemicals when it is active, prompting healthy organs to function normally or diseased organs to move abnormally. In other words, dreaming is caused by secretions. These secretions are excessive during the day and cannot be vented in time or accumulate for a long time, but they are also secreted by external stimuli during sleep. These secretions travel through the brain with the bloodstream and react with the secretions in that area to produce new substances that stimulate neurogonal cells to secrete chemicals that conduct bioelectricity.

For example, when we sleep at night, the quilt is too thin and makes our body feel cold, then we will dream that we are walking in the ice and snow in thin clothes, looking for a warm place. At night, when we don't pay attention when we sleep and put our legs on our feet, we will dream that there are bad people chasing us, and no matter how hard we try, we just can't run. If we sleep at night with our urine in tow, we will dream that we are running around looking for the toilet, and finally find the toilet, only to find that either the toilet is too dirty, or there are people next to us, so we can't urinate.

In fact, some of our diseases are also discovered through this principle. I remember when I was suffering from colitis, I dreamed a few times that I had a dull pain in the lower end of my left abdomen. Because this pain is very mild, it is not felt during the day, and at night, when the person is quiet and in a dormant state, this slight sensation becomes obvious. So, I pressed the part with my hand, and as soon as I pressed it, the pain became obvious. So, the next morning, I went online to check that area, and it turned out to be the colon. Later, I went to the hospital for a colonoscopy and the doctor said I had moderate colitis. A good friend of mine is particularly fond of drinking, and once he told me that he had a dream at night that he had a tumor in his liver. I asked him how his liver felt. He said he didn't feel anything. Because he was drinking, I advised him to go to the hospital for a check-up. But he didn't go, and later found a hard lump the size of a little finger on his liver during a physical examination in the unit, which seemed to be called a lipoma.

There are also dreams that our bodies are hot and sweating when we have a high fever, that we fall from a high altitude when our hearts are upset, that we dream of floods when we have kidney disease, and that someone is hitting us on the head when we have a head injury. There are also some discussions on the sickness of dreams in the "Lingshu" of the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing": "If the yin qi is strong, the dream is afraid of wading through the water; if the yang qi is strong, the dream is hot and burning; if the yin and yang are prosperous, the dream will kill each other; if the upper is prosperous, the dream will fly, and if the lower is prosperous, the dream will fall; if you are hungry, you will dream of taking, and if you are very full, you will dream of giving; if the liver qi is strong, you will dream of anger; if the lung qi is strong, you will dream of fear, crying, and flying; if the heart is vigorous, you will dream of laughing and fearing; if the temper is strong, you will dream of singing and music, and the body will not be heavy; if the kidney qi is strong, you will dream of the waist and spine." ”

If we explain it from a pathological point of view, it is that it is difficult to detect abnormal stimulus signals of underlying lesions in the body when people's brains are very excited during the day. However, during sleep, brain cells enter a resting state, and subtle stimulus signals during the day stimulate the relevant centers of the cortex, causing the corresponding brain cells to react to stress and produce predictive dreams. Different diseases are associated with different dreams, and dreams of the same disease are usually similar.

It has been said that "there are thoughts in the day, and dreams in the night." "This is a common phenomenon of nighttime dreaming. Some people even think that when you encounter a problem and meditate hard but can't solve it, you might as well sleep, and the answer is likely to come when you wake up from a dream. A recent study in the United States shows that when people dream, they can make the brain make connections between unrelated things, thereby improving their thinking ability. The genius composer Mozart once said, "I always dream about music, and all the music I make comes from dreams." Elias Howe, the inventor of the sewing machine, said that he dreamed of an indigenous man holding a spear with a hole in the tip of the spear, and this dream made him think of punching a hole in the needle of the sewing machine. It is also said that Kekule dreamed of a snake biting its tail and spinning, thus realizing the structure of the benzene ring.

This has happened from time to time in our own experience. Some of my works are inspired and conceived from dreams. For example, in the novel "Journey to Heaven", I got inspiration from a dream. I still remember that dream vividly. I dreamed that I entered an underground palace with a strange and bewitching woman. The dungeon is very large, and at the beginning it was still singing and dancing, but when I walked inside, I saw a lot of skeletons, and these skeletons were the result of men's indulgence **** and **** excess. So, I was so frightened that I ran towards the outside of the dungeon. However, I was lost and couldn't get out of the dungeon. Everywhere you go, there is the laughter of bewitching and *** people. Then I woke up. So, it became the main plot of Chapter 11 of my Journey to Heaven, "On the Happy Island". Based on this plot, I expanded and conceived all the chapters of the entire "Journey to Heaven".

However, most of the things in the dream are not necessarily related to reality. Because dreams arise because the brain is still in a state of excitement when sleeping, the things in the memory are combined with some distorted and abstract things, so dreams appear. So what is in the dream does not have much connection with reality.

In our dreams, we often dream of people and environments that we are familiar with, as well as people we don't know at all and environments that we have never seen. We dream of current acquaintances and childhood friends making cameos together, and we also dream of current friends and co-workers being in some of the environments of our childhood. These dream scenes can make us appreciate and play, and can also let us taste a long-lost childlike fun and nostalgia. In addition, it will also give us a life experience and enlightenment. For example, some of our nation's knowledge of sex is very poor and unscrupulous, and some people still don't understand the **** of men and women when they reach adulthood. However, the genetics and consciousness of human sexuality can teach us something through dreams. For example, when a man reaches a certain age, he will have a dream. And this phenomenon of dreams will teach us the scenes and feelings of men and women seeking pleasure through dreams. And when a woman reaches the spring, she will also dream of her beloved man, and she will miss it so much that her lower body will water. This is a reaction to the physiological hunger of men and women, and it is also a way to teach them **** in dreams. This situation has been described in Dream of the Red Chamber and other literary works.

Albert Einstein said that one of the main discoveries of his life was the famous theory of relativity, when he was a child in a dream about riding a plow and discovering that its speed was increasing before it reached the speed of light, and that the stars began to change their shape into glowing lines. For some reason, this dream has always been remembered, and this scene has appeared in his mind more than once, which has helped him a lot in discovering the theory of relativity. It is this ingenious way of understanding the world that helps the dreamer find the answer that he has been pondering for a long time in a sleepless state.

There are many, many theories about dreams, and some people summarize and write books for dreams. But dreams are ethereal and irregular. It is just like human speech, there was no pattern before, but in order to facilitate the learning of speech, people summarized and summarized some grammatical and phonetic phenomena, and achieved a science. Dreams are the same, dreams are random and unpredictable, and they are boundless, but some people summarize and summarize them into various types and situations, and it becomes a science. In fact, dreams are irregular, just like playing mahjong, each hand is different to touch, and the cards played are not the same.

The dream interpretation of China's dream is "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation". However, this book summarizes dreams in a very varied, very broad, and very formulaic way. Therefore, "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" is not a monograph on dream telling as people think, but more like a dictionary and basis for dream interpretation. Many people even use their dreams to analyze and interpret dreams with "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation". For example, dreaming of fruit is an omen of giving birth to a boy, and dreaming of flowers is to give birth to a girl. If a person is bitten by a dog, it means that they will either break the fortune or be in danger, so they have to stay at home and not go out lightly. Some people say that the scene in a dream is just the opposite of reality, such as dreaming that your husband is beaten is a good omen, indicating that life will be happy. If you dream that your husband is killed, it indicates that a new population is about to be added to the family. But some people say that dreaming about a scene is an omen. Therefore, someone dreamed of breaking up with his girlfriend, which made him very confused and hesitant when he woke up, not knowing what to do. What dreams a person has and why they dream like this is actually impossible to predict and explain. Even if it is an omen or a negative omen of a real situation, it is a very fortuitous coincidence. We don't have to make a fuss and be suspicious. If we take out an example of "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" to analyze, we can see whether "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" has the true meaning of dream interpretation.

There is a passage in "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" that Tang Taizong dreamed of Xue Rengui. Legend has it that after Tang Taizong ascended the throne, he had a fierce dream, in which there was a fierce man who chased him with a big knife and wanted to take his life. In order to thank the benefactor, Tang Taizong stepped forward to ask the name of the young general, and the young general did not answer directly, but read out four lines of poetry, "The family is a little red, and there is no trace of it." The price of a three-year-old child's gold is a thousand gold, and the protector crosses the sea to conquer the east. After saying that, he jumped into a dragon's mouth and disappeared without a trace.

The next day, Tang Taizong mentioned this dream to the ministers for analysis, and some ministers explained: In the dream, there is a vicious person chasing after him, presumably because there must be a rebellion somewhere; the first sentence of the four lines of the poem about the young general, "the family lives at ease and a little red," means that his residence is Shanxi; jumping into the dragon's mouth, it should be Longmen County in Shanxi; and the last two sentences are his names, such as "fluttering without a trace" means snowfall, and the sound of snow is the same as "Xue", and the young general should be a person surnamed Xue; "the price of a three-year-old child's thousand gold" says that "people are expensive," so his name should be "Rengui" , the last sentence indicates that this person may be an important general of the imperial court in the future. In the future, a man named Xue Rengui was recruited from Longmen County in Shanxi Province as the commander of the expedition to the east, and Gai Suwen opposed the Tang Dynasty in order to pacify the Goryeo Kingdom. This man's talent is truly extraordinary.

This dream of Tang Taizong is like a dream, it is simply a literary story carefully written by a talented literati. Since it is not a real dream, the analysis is even more far-fetched and carefully fabricated. Do you really believe in such dreams and dream interpretations?

There are thousands of kinds of dreams, and there are thousands of strange dreams, but "Zhou Li: Chunguan" proposes six major dreams: positive dreams, nightmares, dreams, sleeping dreams, happy dreams, and fearful dreams. In the Ming Dynasty, Chen Shiyuan collected the dreams of the past dynasties and divided the dreams into nine types: the dream of prosperity, the dream of qi deficiency, the dream of evil allegory, the dream of physical stagnation, the dream of overflowing feelings, the dream of straight leaves, the dream of the elephant, the dream of the opposite pole, and the dream of the demon, which greatly deepened the study of dreams. However, some people summarize the dreams of the ancients into eight forms: one is the happy dream, which is the dream caused by preference or pleasure. When there is joy in the heart, there is a happy dream, and some people even laugh in the dream and wake up laughing. The second is dreaming, which is a dream caused by longing and reminiscence. Some people believe that dreaming not only refers to thinking and dreaming, but also refers to thinking and thinking in dreams. The third is a sleeping dream, which refers to a dream caused by what is said, seen, and done when you wake up. Fourth, the anti-dream, also known as the dream of the anti-polarity, has the characteristics of "anti-image to sign", what is the anti-polarity? If the cold is warm, if the dream is full, then it is the anti-polar. The fifth is the straight dream, which is also called the dream of the straight response or the dream of the straight leaf. Sixth, sexual dreams, which are dreams of temperament, that is, different dream results caused by people's character and temperament. The seventh is like a dream, which does not directly express the meaning of the dream, but takes the symbolic meaning of something or something. The eighth is human dreams, which refer to the same dreams due to the different social status, gender, age, etc. of the dreamer, and its symbolic meaning also changes. In ancient times, people still had this analysis of dreams: 1. Dreams are the reflection of facts, that is, "there are thoughts in the day, and dreams in the night"; 2. Dreams are a sign from heaven, and they believe that dreams are the hints of the emperor to people, and they are the omen of good luck and evil; 3. Dreams are the self-suggestion of life, and Chinese medicine believes that the yin and yang of the human body are out of balance, and the qi is full and weak, which can cause dreams; 4. Dreams are the reaction of facts, and many people dream and say that dreams are contrary to later facts, which is a method of interpreting dreams.

Everyone has to dream, and the dream comes with it, and it goes with it, accompanying it for the rest of one's life. As long as the thinking capacity of the human brain remains, dreams will last for a long time. Dreams, like human figures, are both commonplace and mysterious, both ethereal and real. If the dream is an illusion, then the people and events in the dream are vividly remembered after waking up, and if the dream is a real expression, it is difficult to find someone who is exactly the same as the people and events in the dream after waking up. Sometimes the day is a dream, and sometimes what is seen in a dream is met by the day. The mystery of dreams has been known to our ancestors for a long time, that is, the dream culture was born.

Dreams are a very complex thing, maybe related to reality, maybe not affected by reality, Zhou Gong interprets dreams, some dreams are a summary of the impact and reaction to reality, and some may be the subjective imagination of the author. Therefore, it is difficult for us to predict the future through dreams and thus plan our own future. For Zhou Gong's dream interpretation, it is best to think of it as a story or entertainment. Don't be confused by your dreams, let alone use dreams to look forward to the future, difficulties need to be faced bravely, and the road ahead must rely on solid footsteps.

Dreams are a hidden mirror to peek into the heart, another illusory but real life experience. Dreams are a part of our lives, a subconscious manifestation of the mind, and at the same time, they should also be a kind of enjoyment of our lives, allowing us to experience many things that cannot be experienced in real life. Therefore, whether it is a dream or a nightmare, it has no special meaning, just as it is a precious gift from the heart and brain, as a story of our life and a piece of music of the soul, to appreciate it carefully and savor it slowly.
