In this report I analyse various folk ideas that the Chinese often applied to their own dream interpretations. Understanding the context and meaning of a Northern Chinese folk dream model provides insight into Northern ideas of causation, anxiety, and the efficacy of a vision. It also provides additional support that China during the Republic (1912-1949) and Maoist (1949-1978) eras was more of a shame rather than a guilt culture.
