Classical Texts
《周公解梦》 (Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation)
梦跳舞翩跹主心安，舞姿优雅福运绵；合群共游人缘旺，进退得体受人尊；凌乱失仪招非议，孤舞落寞少人怜。
Interpretation: Dreaming of dancing with a light and graceful posture signifies an inner state that is tranquil, peaceful, and expansive. Elegant and poised dancing movements foreshadow blessings and good fortune lasting a long time. Dancing cheerfully with a group of people suggests flourishing social fortune and a strengthening network of positive relationships. Behaving appropriately, understanding when to advance or retreat, and being respectful make it easy to be respected and favored by others. Chaotic actions or movements that violate etiquette easily invite unfavorable comments and criticism from others. Dreaming of dancing alone in melancholy suggests a lack of understanding close friends, helpful people, or the compassionate support from others.
《梦林玄解》 (Dream Forest's Profound Interpretation)
跳舞者，舒情志、结人缘之象也；姿雅则心和气顺，共舞则人聚福来；失仪则行止遭议，孤舞则缘薄心孤；身心从容起舞，乃是安身纳福之态。
Interpretation: Dancing is a symbol for the expression of one's emotions and will, and for forming human connections. Graceful and poised movements imply inner peace and a smooth, favorable life flow. Dancing with others suggests people gather, and blessings follow. Violating etiquette or behaving inappropriately results in one's actions being discussed and critiqued. Dancing alone in solitude indicates thin and weak connections, and a lonely, pained heart. A mind and body dancing with ease and composure is a state of establishing one's life and receiving fortune.
