Duke of Zhou
Duke of Zhou is also known as the "God of Dreams". "The Analects" record Confucius saying, "How I have gone downhill! It has been such a long time since I dreamt of the Duke of Zhou." This was meant as a lamentation of how the governmental ideals of the Duke of Zhou had faded, but was later taken literally. In Chinese legends, if an important thing is going to happen to someone, the Duke of Zhou will let the person know through dreams: hence the Chinese expression "Dreaming of Zhou Gong". "Zhou Gong's" "Explanations of Dreams" (Chinese: 周公解夢, pinyin: "Zhōu gōng jiěmèng") is attributed to him.
