"Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" is a dream interpretation book that relies on people's dreams to be auspicious and vicious, with a total of seven types of dream interpretations. The Duke of Zhou in the book is Zhou Gongdan, and Confucius's dream of "I no longer dream of seeing Zhou Gongdan" often appears in Confucianism.

"Zhou Li, Chun Guan" clearly puts forward six dreams: positive dreams, nightmares, dreams, dreams, dreams, happy dreams, and fearful dreams.

Fear of dreams is similar to happy dreams.
There are two main types of dreams. One refers to dreams that arise from what is said, seen, and done at the time of awakening, and the other is daydreaming.
