Many people have heard of "Zhou Gong's interpretation of dreams", but few people have heard of "Liezi's interpretation of dreams", Liezi said: People who are weak in body will dream of flying; when the weather turns cold, they will dream of fire; hungry people will dream of eating. And the really powerful people, in fact, rarely dream, why is this? What is the relationship between dreams and reality, today we come to talk about "Liezi dream interpretation", very interesting, it is recommended to be patient after reading.
Hello everyone, here is a small broadcast reading, today we began to share the "Liezi Zhou Mu Wang", Zhou Mu Wang is the fifth generation of western Zhou kings, about 1000 BC, reigned for 55 years, is the longest reigning king of Western Zhou, but also a very legendary king, and the theme of this article is Liezi dream interpretation. We all know the story of Zhuang Zhou Mengdi, which is a story told by Zhuangzi in "The Theory of QiWu", saying that one day Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had become a butterfly, flying leisurely in the air, feeling very pleasant and comfortable, he did not know that he was originally Zhuang Zhou. Suddenly he woke up from the dream, and in a state of panic, he realized that he was Zhuang Zhou. Because, the dream just now was too real, Zhuangzi couldn't help but sigh: I don't know if it is Zhuang Zhou Mengdi, or Butterfly Mengzhuang Zhou. In the end, which one is real, Zhuang Zhou and the butterfly, Zhuangzi is not clear, Zhuangzi said that this realm is: the assimilation of things and me.
Liezi also describes a large number of dreams and stories that cannot be distinguished by reality in this "King Mu of Zhou", the most famous of which is the dream of King Mu of Zhou. Liezi said that when King Mu of Zhou was in power, a man from the Western Regions who was good at the art of illusion was very powerful, able to cross deep water and fire, and even penetrate metal and rocks without any damage to himself. He can change the direction of the mountain flowing water, and he can also walk in the air, which is simply omnipotent. King Mu of Zhou admired him so much that he gave him the most ornate palace and the most delicious food.
One day, this illusionary person took King Zhou Mu to visit, and took King Zhou Mu to the sky, the palaces in the sky are made of gold and silver jewelry, there are pearls and jade outside, and the whole palace is also floating in mid-air, very majestic, which is a bit like the heavenly palace in "Journey to the West". When the illusionary person was taking King Zhou Mu on a tour very happy, he suddenly felt that his eyes and ears had lost their effect, and his body also began to tremble, and his soul seemed to be out of the blue, King Zhou Mu felt very uncomfortable, and asked the illusionary person to take him back, and the illusionary person agreed, and moved his body, King Zhou Mu only felt like a meteorite falling from the air, and returned to the original palace, when King Zhou Mu regained consciousness, he found that it was just a dream. He asked the illusionist what was going on, and the illusionist said that he had just taken the soul of King Zhou Mu out on a tour, and his body had always been here, and he had not left, and King Zhou Mu felt very surprised.
Maybe many people in the dream, have such an experience, from the dream suddenly woke up, in this article, Liezi analyzed in detail when people sleep and dream when the performance, also known as "Liezi dream interpretation", we have heard of Zhou Gong to interpret dreams, in fact, Liezi also interpreted dreams, but few people know, but it is also very interesting. Liezi said, "There are eight signs of enlightenment, and there are six signs of dreams." This means that when a person is awake, there are eight signs or signs, and when a person sleeps, he has six manifestations of divination.
Liezi said that the so-called "Eight Signs of Enlightenment": one is the end, the second is the cause, the third is the gain, the fourth is mourning, the fifth is mourning, the sixth is happy, the seventh is life, and the eighth is death. This one has eight signs, and the form is also connected. The first sign indicates what happened in the past; the second sign indicates what is happening now; the third sign indicates that you have gained; the fourth sign indicates that you have lost; the fifth sign indicates that you have mourned; the sixth sign indicates that you are happy; the seventh sign indicates that you will be born again; the eighth sign indicates that you will face death. Liezi said that these eight signs are closely related to your body, which means that when you are awake during the day, what you do, or what state of your body. Then when you dream at night, you will feel each other, and this induction is the sympathy of body and soul.
Liezi said that "dreams have six waitings", including: "One day is a dream, two dreams, three dreams, four dreams, five dreams of joy, six dreams of fear, these six, God also confessed." That is to say, there are six types or manifestations of dreams, one is the dream that is natural in ordinary times; the second is the dream caused by the consternation; the third is the dream caused by the thought; the fourth is the dream caused by the enlightenment; the fifth is the dream made by the joy emotion; and the sixth is the dream caused by fear and fear. These six kinds of dreams are caused by mental activities and emotional changes.
Liezi said that if you don't understand how changes in people's emotions occur, you don't know why you dream, and you can't explain dreams. Once you understand the process of human emotional changes, the causes and consequences of dreams are clear, so that you will understand why you have such dreams, and you will not be afraid and afraid.
We often say that "there are thoughts every day, and there are dreams", which is probably the meaning, Liezi said, the human spirit and the external things mutual induction will produce dreams, and the contact between the human body and external things is to do things. In other words, we do things that are the result of our body's contact with the outside world. For example, when we wash clothes and cook, these have to be done by hand, this is doing things. And our dreams are produced by the contact between our spirit and external things. This contact occurs at night when you are sleeping, and your mental and emotional state is affected by doing things during the day, so what you do during the day, what emotional changes are produced, these emotional changes will affect your spirit, and when you dream at night, the spirit and the outside world will affect what you dream.
Liezi said, "The news of the unity of the whole is through the heavens and the earth, and should be in the category of things." This means that there is an interactive relationship between man and nature, and that man's spirit and form and all things in heaven and earth are interconnected. Therefore, we return to our own nature and can know nature, Dong Zhongshu said "Heaven and man induction", Mencius said: "Those who do their best, know their nature; if they know their nature, they know heaven also", which is also based on this logic.
Liezi also interpreted the relationship between some dreams and reality, such as people who are in the yin and yang, if they dream of being trapped in water, they will be terrified. And people who are prosperous and yin, if they dream of being deep in the fire, will retreat. People with balanced yin and yang may dream of fighting, where water metaphors yin; fire metaphors yang, and people with balanced yin and yang, the spirit will always be in the game. Liezi said that if you eat too much, you will dream of giving something to someone else. If you are hungry, you dream of robbing someone else of something. People who are full of sorrow because of their weak bodies dream of flying. People who are sad because their bodies are terminally ill will dream of drowning. If you sleep with a pillow belt, you will dream of a snake, and when you sleep with a bird holding your hair, you will dream of flying. The weather turns cold day by day, dreams of fire, and when people are about to get sick, they dream of eating. People who drink wine will frown in their dreams; those who sing and dance will cry incessantly in their dreams. You can compare whether there is such a situation.
So why is that? Liezi explained that the thoughts of the day and the dreams of the night are the result of the intersection of his mind and body with external objects. You find that the previous state of being awake and the dreams you have had in fact complement or cancel each other out, which is caused by some kind of opposition between the spirit and the body, such as a weak person who dreams of flying; when the weather turns cold, he dreams of fire; a hungry person dreams of eating; and so on. In addition, dreams and reality are also connected, such as sleeping on pillows and belts and dreaming of snakes, which is the case.
Liezi said that when a person is mentally focused and can achieve the unity of form and god, he will not dream so often, because their spirit and form are not separated. In ancient times, real people, when they were awake, were detached from things, and even to the point where they didn't even know who they were, they had reached the realm of self-forgetfulness, and such people would not dream at all when they slept, because they had already achieved the unity of form and god.
In fact, Liezi's dream interpretation is still very objective, we often say: day to think, night to dream, dream is a supplement to reality, this is the insight proposed by Liezi. The famous psychoanalyst Freud, in "The Analysis of Dreams", analyzes dreams from the perspective of psychoanalysis and psychology. Freud also pointed out that the motivation for the formation of our dreams is often a desire to be satisfied, and what we have hope for that cannot be realized in reality is often placed on dreams, which is why we hungry people often dream of good food, weak people, and dream of flying.
