Classical Texts
Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation (周公解梦)
梦织布者主耕耘，丝顺布成百事兴；女织安然姻缘美，男织勤作家业增；线乱机缠多烦扰，布残机破运难恒。
Interpretation: Dreaming of weaving foretells that steady cultivation will bear its own fruit. Smooth threads forming whole cloth leads to prosperity and smooth sailing in all affairs. A woman weaving peacefully indicates a blissful marriage and family harmony. A man focusing intently on weaving and labor signifies gradual increase and growth of the family estate. Threads tangled and difficult to weave suggests many worries and troubles in life. A damaged loom producing incomplete cloth suggests fortune and stability are hard to maintain long-term.
Dreams Among the Mysterious Grove (梦林玄解)
织布者，经纬交织，人事营谋之象也；丝顺则事顺，布成则功成；心定则织稳，心乱则线纷；勤织者福厚，怠织者缘疏；锦缎成而前程显，残布出而基业微。
Interpretation: Weaving, where the warp and weft interlace, symbolizes human affairs, planning, and diligent effort. Smooth threads signify smooth actions; a completed cloth signifies achievable success. A settled mind leads to steady weaving, a chaotic mind leads to tangled threads. Those who weave diligently have deep blessings; those who slack off have shallow fortune and few connections. Weaving splendid brocade foretells a noble and illustrious future; producing damaged cloth suggests a frail foundation for your house and career.
