46.40

趙氏賓退錄云。東坡守楊州。夢行山間。一虎來噬。有道士叱虎去。明旦一道士投謁曰。夜出不至驚否。坡咄曰。鼠子未欲杖汝背。汝謂吾不知汝子夜術耶。道士駭而退。徽宗夢神霄。蓋此類也。

The *Bintui lu* of Mr. Zhao states: When Su Dongpo was prefect of Yangzhou, he dreamed that he was walking among the mountains and a tiger came to bite him. A Daoist shouted at the tiger and drove it away. The next morning, a Daoist came to call on him, saying, 'When you went out last night, were you not frightened?' Dongpo rebuked him: 'You rascal, I have not yet caned your back! Did you think I was unaware of your midnight arts?' The Daoist was terrified and withdrew. Huizong's dream of the Divine Firmament was of this sort.
