Ancient Chinese people thought that dreams can imply auspicious and inauspicious things.

Since different dreams have different meanings, people can get implications of auspiciousness or inauspiciousness by interpreting them, as ancient people had the idea that dreams were the implication from God.古人認為夢可以預示吉兆和惡運。古人常常參照《周公解夢》一書來解讀夢境。由于夢的意義更不相同，人們可以通過解夢來得知吉兇禍福的預兆。古人把夢當作是神的意旨。

Dream Interpreting Has Some Scientific Basis解夢具有一定科學根據

Actually, dream interpreting is not totally a superstition. It does have some scientific merit.其實，解夢并非完全迷信。解夢確有一定的科學道理。

1. Dream is the reflection of fact. Many dreams are actually the repetition of things that happened in an awakened state. This kind of dream can be easily understood without dream interpreting.1. 夢會反映現實。很多夢實際上是在清醒狀態下發生的事情的重演。無須解夢，人們就能輕易讀懂這類夢。

2. Dream is the bodys self-implication. Traditional Chinese medical science stated that dreams are related to the health condition of humans bodies. When Yin and Yang are unbalanced, dreams come into being. According to Chinese philosophy, Yin and Yang were two opposing principles in nature: the former negative, the latter positive. Yin is female and Yang is male.2. 夢是機體自身的暗示。中醫藥學指出，夢與人體健康息息相關。當陰陽失衡時，便會做夢。依照中國哲學，陰陽是截然相反的兩種自然屬性：前者為負，后者為正。陰為女性，陽為男性。

If someone dreamt that he or she was roasted by a big fire and it is too hot to bear, it means the bodys inner heat is too strong. As a result, he or she may easily get angry or nervous.如果夢見自己被大火炙烤，并且燥熱難耐，那么就意味著你內火過重。因此，你的外在表現為容易發怒或緊張。

3. Dreams are usually contrary to the facts, which coincide with the philosophy that things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme.3. 夢通常與事實相反，這正好與物極必反的哲學思想相吻合。

Based on the experiences and practices, an anonymous author wrote a book for interpreting dreams and predicting the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness, which was named Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams.基于經驗與實踐，一位不知名的作者寫了一本用于解夢和預言吉兇的書，這本書便是《周公解夢》。

As ancient Chinese peoples wisdom and experiences crystallized, Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams became less regarded as a superstition. To some degree, it is scientifically reasonable. Handed down over thousands of years, the profound book still has many mysteries waiting for us to explore.作為古人智慧與經驗的結晶，人們愈發意識到《周公解夢》不是迷信之談。在某種程度上，它是科學合理的。《周公解夢》這本留傳百年的巨著仍有很多未解之謎等待我們去探索。
