See the spirit flying
A later belief arose that this meaning of the dream was an alternate reality, that is, a reality encountered by the soul after it had left the body. It is said that the Guyanese Indians believed that a person in a dream is a soul temporarily removed from the body, so a person is responsible for what he does in the dream. If he hurts someone in his dream, he has to apologize after he wakes up. On the contrary, if someone hurts you in your dream, you have to get revenge after you wake up. If you dream of having sex with someone else's wife, you must pay a fine. If a local native tells someone: 'I dreamed of owning your land yesterday, then the other person will give the land to him.' Of course, the natives are simple and do not lie. If we are not honest and tell them a false dream, 'All your land is mine,' they will be miserable.
According to an ancient Chinese story, a Taoist man saw a monk sleeping and a snake came out of his head. When the snake met saliva, it ate, and when it saw the urine basin, it drank. It went out into a ditch, turned around the flowers, and tried to cross a ditch because there was no water. When the snake returned, the Taoist man stuck his knife in the ground. Snake see knife is very afraid, find another way to return to Heshangtou. The monk woke up at this time and said, 'I dreamed that I ate good food, drank wine, crossed a small river, met dozens of beautiful women, and wanted to cross another river, but the water did not pass.' I got caught up in robbers and took a detour.' The idea behind this dream story is that souls can travel in animal form to form dreams.
Even now, this concept still exists, and in 1990, such a thing happened in rural China. A husband dreamed that his wife was having sex with a man, so he hurried to a green hut where his wife lived and asked who had been there. Although his wife said no one had come, he still didn't believe her. He apparently believed that his soul had actually seen his wife having sex with someone else while he was dreaming. Later, he actually killed the man in the dream.
People who believe that dreams can predict the future have two explanations, one is that the ghosts and gods or the souls of others in the dream can tell him the future, the other is that nature can cause dreams through some kind of induction (that is, heaven and man induction), so that before the occurrence of a big disaster or happy event, people can get an omen in the dream.
Those who believe that dreams are 'soul travel' do not believe that dreams are 'induction', they only agree that ghosts and gods can communicate with their own traveling souls.
