Liezi said: I think about it day and dream at night, and I meet it in the form of a god.
Thinking during the day and dreaming at night is due to the fact that the spirit and body encounter certain things.
Especially after entering middle and old age, because of anxiety and nervousness, the quality of sleep decreases, and dreams are frequent.
Although dreams are not a direct projection of reality, they imply an inspiration for reality.
There are 5 magical dreams in history, although they span thousands of years, but the 5 major life revelations contained in them still wake up future generations.

Zhuang Zhou Mengdie
Zhuang Zhou lay down under the big tree to rest, and fell asleep unconsciously.
He dreamed that he had become a butterfly, flying freely among the flowers.
Because the experience in the dream was too real, after waking up, he realized that he was not a butterfly, but Zhuang Zhou, who was leaning against the tree and dreaming.
In a trance, he fell into deep thought, did Zhuang Zhou become a butterfly in his dream, or did the butterfly become Zhuang Zhou in his dream?
Ru Fengjun said:
It is often said that dreams are like life, and life is like dreams.
Many things are very depressing at the moment, thinking that I must not be able to pass this hurdle.
But as time passed, I found that all the worries I had had had passed over.
That sense of unreality, like a dream.
Many things in the world are like this, and sometimes being too concerned and entangled gives me a lot of pressure.
It's better to be calm, calm down, and jump out of the whirlpool of troubles, and you will find that what traps you is not the thing itself, but a heart that is not confident enough.
As we get older, we must trust our own judgment and not be disturbed by the dazzling information.
"Chao's Hakka" says: "Those who are self-satisfied are firm, and those who are confident are not suspicious." ”
If you want to succeed in life, self-confidence comes first.

A dream
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a poor scholar named Lu Sheng who often complained that he was unambitious.
One day, a Taoist priest heard him sighing in the inn, so he took out a pillow and handed it to him, saying:
"You sleep on this pillow and you can get the life you want. ”
He excitedly took the pillow and soon fell asleep while the shopkeeper began to cook the rice.
He dreamed that he was prosperous, became the prime minister, and lived a very prosperous life.
After that, I dreamed that I had encountered ups and downs, experienced life and death, and woke up suddenly.
When he woke up, he found that the Taoist priest was still with him, and the shopkeeper's yellow rice had not yet been cooked.
It turned out that enjoying half a lifetime of glory and wealth was just a short-lived dream.
Ru Fengjun said:
The road of life is full of ups and downs, sometimes in good times and sometimes in bad times.
People who don't know how to work hard in adversity, but complain about the injustice of fate, will never turn over in their lives.
In life, the most important thing is to recognize the reality, understand your position and strength, have less unrealistic dreams, and take more actions.
As Zeng Guofan said: "Firm in their will, hard work, hard work, no matter how big or small, will be successful." ”
If you want to make a difference, you must first get through a period of time when no one cares about it, and when the effort comes, you will naturally get your wish.

Nan Ke is a dream
At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was a person named Chun Yuzun who planted a big locust tree in the backyard of his home.
On his birthday, when his relatives and friends congratulated him on his birthday, he got a little drunk and sat under the locust tree and fell asleep unconsciously.
He dreamed that he had arrived in Dahuai Anguo, just in time for the examination, he won the first place in one fell swoop, and was personally named the first champion by the emperor in the palace examination.
After that, he married the princess and served as the Taishou of Nanke, who was very loved by the local people.
One year, the enemy invaded, and Dahuai Anguo was defeated and defeated.
Seeing that there was no one available in the court, the emperor summoned Chun Yuzun to lead the elite to fight the enemy in a decisive battle.
Unfortunately, he didn't know anything about the art of war, and he returned defeated, and the emperor was furious and sent him home.
Chun Yuzun was so angry that he woke up from his dream, only to see the branches on the moon and the stars twinkling, only to know that the so-called big locust Anguo was just an anthill under the locust tree.
Ru Fengjun said:
"Zizhi Tongjian" said: "Life is impermanent, and wealth is unpredictable. ”
The world is impermanent, the opportunities in life are not certain, and wealth is unpredictable.
Even if you have a smooth ride at this time, it doesn't mean that you will be able to sit back and relax for the rest of your life.
The gains and losses of life are like sunshine and rain, which come unconsciously and leave silently.
Therefore, since the theme of life is change, it is better to face all the results calmly.
Hard work is no regrets, dedication is no regrets.

Jiang Yan's dream pen
During the Southern Dynasties, the writer Jiang Yan studied hard when he was young, and his literary thinking was quick, and his poems and articles were deeply loved by everyone.
But after the official became Dr. Guanglu, the article became mediocre, and he even held the pen for a long time, and he couldn't write a word.
So some people say that when he went to Xuancheng to play, he fell asleep in the Ye Pavilion, and a person who called himself Guo Pu asked him for a five-color pen in a dream.
After Jiang Yan heard this, he took out the five-color pen and returned it to him.
Since then, he has been exhausted and can no longer write decent articles.
Ru Fengjun said:
Jiang Yan once said to his disciples: "I am a plain official, I don't want to be rich and noble, and now I will steal as much as I can, and I will be prepared for everything that I have to say in my life." ”
When his official became bigger and bigger, he began to pamper himself, and rarely bothered to work hard, and wrote it himself.
Over time, the article naturally lacks talent.
Life is like this, once you rest on your laurels, no matter how good you have been, there will be a day when you will go to mediocrity.
Therefore, nothing can be done once and for all, but you need to constantly enrich yourself.
Whether it is knowledge or vision, it must be expanded in time to keep pace with the times.

Luo Han Dream Bird
Luo Han was born in a family of Leiyang eunuchs, and has great ambitions since he was a child, smart and studious.
Later, his mother died, and his father was inconvenient to take him as an official, so he was raised by his uncle Zhu.
One day, Luo Han was reading in the study, and fell asleep at the desk unconsciously.
In the dream, a small bird chirped outside the window, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was a golden Xiaopeng bird.
Luo Han was very surprised, and climbed up the tree cautiously, he opened his mouth, and he didn't dare to come out, for fear that the bird would fly away.
Unexpectedly, the bird suddenly flew into his mouth, Luo Han was startled, fell from the tree, and woke up from his dream.
He told his uncle about it, and his uncle said that if he dreamed of a strange bird, he would definitely have something to do in the future.
Since then, Luo Han has often read books at night, and his academic progress has been rapid, and he has finally become a generation.
Ru Fengjun said:
Zhu Xi said: "There are only two ways to learn, and it is only to learn and practice. ”
If you want to become a learned person, you must work hard to learn and actively practice.
There will be no pie in the sky, and even if God favors it, it will only favor those who are prepared.
Don't believe in the so-called shortcuts, all shortcuts are actually detours.
Those who stand at the pinnacle of life and behave lightly have unknown hardships behind them.
So, don't expect to be hit by fate one day, all good luck is the result of being down-to-earth.
