7.91

㝱寐 [Dreaming and sleeping]: The upper [character] has the fanqie 莫弄 (mò + nòng = mèng); the Shuowen says, “Awakening while sleeping; it derives from 宀 and 爿 with 夢.” The Zhouli states that by the sun, moon, stars, and constellations one divines the auspiciousness of the six dreams: the first is ordinary, the second is startled, the third is brooding, the fourth is awake, the fifth is joyous, and the sixth is fearful. The lower [character] has the fanqie 蜜二 (mì + èr = mèi); to sleep, to rest; it derives from an abbreviated 㝱 with the phonetic 未. The sūtra text simply writes 夢, which is also commonly accepted in vulgar usage.
