Dream: May 19, 1999. A peacock appeared outside my window. The crest on its head looks like a green leaf. I seize the moment to get a good shot. The window frame is made of aluminum. Two boys are blocking my view. I hastily call out to them to move. Suddenly the lens on my camera closes. In the end, all I can click is a single photo.
Dream: March 22, 1999. I am planting a little plant in a pot. I use a spade to dig into a hollow tree and grow flowers in the sandy fine soil there. The tree is too tall. I can only dig out the soil if I stand on tiptoes. There are two tall men in a crowd of people. I want to ask them to come and help. But then I think, I’ll have to call for help, I might as well do it myself.
Dream: March 20, 1999. I reach the edge of a pool of water. A girl puts a fish briefly into the water, and I think, how will she get it back out again? Only then do I see the boy at the edge of the water reach out his hand and just grab it. It turns out that it was a trained fish.
Dream: April 30, 1999. Plants cover the north wall of the building. It looks great. The plants have not yet grown leaves. On a stretch of dirt some type (not sure what) of red buds of peonies are starting to bloom. There are seeds all over the ground. I want to let the rooster come and eat them up, but I’m afraid that if it doesn’t rain the rooster won’t go back to his nest.
窗子中出现了一只孔雀,它头花上长出绿色树叶。我在抢拍它。窗子是铝合金做成的。有两个男子挡住我视线,我急忙叫他们走开。突然我的相机关上了镜头,最后一张只能拍进。 梦 一九九九年五月十九日
我在把小花种在花盆里,用铲子在一个空树中挖细沙土养花。树太高了,我竖起脚才能够挖到土。一群人中有二个高个子男子,我很想请他们帮忙,可又一想,还要叫人,还是自己挖吧。 梦 一九九九年三月二十二日
我来到水塘前,一个女孩把一条活鱼暂放池中,我想一会她怎样抓上来?只见岸上的男子伸手就 抓了上来,原来它是经过训练的鱼。 梦 一九九九年三月二十日
房子北面的墙上爬满了植物,真好看,还没长出叶子,在一片土地上长出不知什么人(品)种的 牡丹花红色芽。满地上的种子我想让鸡出来吃掉,又怕不下雨,鸡赶不进窝。 梦 一九九九年四月三十日
