Ancient Dream Texts
《Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation》 (《周公解梦》)
梦装饰居室主更新，雅致整洁福运新；合家装潢家宅旺，布局合理前程欣；杂乱堆砌多虚浮，陋室不修运难伸。 Meaning: Dreaming of decorating a residential room signifies an update and change in fortune. If the room is elegant, clean, and tidy, good fortune arrives fresh and new. Decorating and renovating together as a family indicates the household's fortune is gradually growing. A reasonable, orderly layout of the house suggests promising prospects are pleasantly anticipated. Disorganized, piled-up, overly showy decorations suggest a superficial, flashy character prone to vanity, making major success difficult. A rundown house left unattended suggests one's own fortune struggles to extend or progress.
《Forest of Dreams, Profound Unraveling》 (《梦林玄解》)
居室为安身之本，装饰为改运之征也；室雅则心清运旺，整饰则去旧纳新；繁饰乱堆则气杂心躁，陋室荒废则志惰运衰；居家整肃，便是修身纳福之道。 Meaning: A house or room is the fundamental base for one's security and stability. Decorating it signifies changing one's fortune. An elegant room leads to a clear mind and prosperous luck; attentive renovation sheds old Qi and welcomes new blessings. Excessive, cluttered decorations bring chaotic energy and a restless heart. A room left derelict and dilapidated leads to a lax and idle spirit and declining fortune. Keeping one's home orderly and tidy is the very path to self-cultivation and absorbing good fortune.
