According to the requirements of ancient dream interpretation, not all dreams can be occupied. At the same time, there are also some special requirements for the dream occupier, which are the two famous principles of ancient dream astrology:

Dream has five do not account for, occupy five do not test.

The so-called 'five dreams do not occupy' means that there are five kinds of dreams that cannot be occupied.

The first is that those who dream in limbo do not occupy. This is because the dream is produced by people's spirit induction, according to the Taoist theory, the human spirit is composed of soul and soul together, and the folk oral language often says that 'soul and soul' is the embodiment of this thought. They are the Yin and Yang aspects of the human spirit. Generally speaking, the soul is composed of Yang Qi, Yang Qi light Qing, so the spiritual factors in the soul will be heavier, roughly equivalent to God; Soul is Yin qi, dull and heavy, which is the matrix of human form. The so-called dream is that the Yang of human beings and the Yang of all things in heaven and earth feel each other, according to the different things in the dream, symbolizing different induction objects. The ancients believed that the dream presented by a person in a state of agitation is not a feeling of the soul, but a floating thought of the soul. This kind of thinking is not a 'true dream' in the art of dreaming, so it cannot present good or bad signs.

Second, those who dream for false thoughts do not occupy. The so-called thinking and dreaming is caused by various evil thoughts during the day. According to the Buddhist theory of cognition, the dreams of evil thoughts generally do not come out of the six senses of eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind, which are all caused by sensation and belong to short and shallow induction. This kind of induction is generally meaningless miscellaneous thoughts, which do not contain the real mechanism of good or bad. It is only possible to enter into the seventh consciousness, for there is in it a second level of the true Self, a Self that is lively and dynamic, and that is revealed only in deep dreams. In addition, the eighth consciousness is the actual Greater Self, in which all is, all is one, and no dream appears to exist. What, then, is dreaming without thinking? For example, during the day to see a woman, beautiful, like heaven, night in the dream with the boa, and even some rain, quite quick mind, after waking up, but see the lower body sticky wet, know it is a wet dream. This kind of dream is caused by the eye knowledge, which is purely caused by evil thoughts, and there is no 'heavenly mechanism' hidden in it.

The third is to watch the evil, do not occupy. This means that the signage in the dream is so typical that there is no need to occupy it. Of course, there are also a few people in order to escape the 'days', forcibly occupy, then the effectiveness of the meantime, it is questionable. The Ming Dynasty Chen Shiyuan's 'Dream Zhanyi' gives such an example: according to the Zuo Zhuan, a man named Sheng Bo dreamed of crossing the Huan river and eating Qiongrose, and strangely, he cried and sang in his dream. Sonbo himself is very familiar with the art of dreaming, after waking up, knowing that it is a bad omen, fear and dare not occupy. It was later passed. A period of time, know that the destiny is difficult to violate, in order to obtain psychological stability, they forcibly occupy for luck, the result only after a day, then lament. Because this dream according to the interpretation of the dream, it is really a dead elephant, and the dream is a ceremony to send the dead, and its evil is self-evident.

The fourth is not the end of the dream, the middle of the awakening does not account for. According to the ancients, a dream with good or bad omen has a beginning and an end. Because dreams are actually a symbolic language, according to ancient dream occupiers, this is the language of the gods to people. If the dream does not end, especially in the middle of the wake, then the oracle is not clear, not easily divination. Of course, if the dream has been exhausted, the dream Yansi is more complete, then it is not in this case. Finally, although the dream has an end but wake up to forget the lost majority, do not account for. This is not difficult to understand, some people dream, but after the dream is finished, or after waking up, they can only remember some messy plots, and these dreams can not be interrupted, because the 'true machine' has been disturbed.

These are five dreams not accounted for. In addition, the ancient dream interpretation also has strict requirements for the dream occupier, not all people can become a dream occupier after reading the dream book, only those who meet certain special conditions can become a dream occupier. Otherwise, even if forcibly seized, there is no efficacy at all. This is because the ancients believed that the language spoken by God in dreams could only be deciphered by those who could jump out of dreams and not be trapped by dream images. This phenomenon is consistent in the history of both ancient and modern countries. In ancient Greece, the oracle of the temple of Apollo was extremely effective, but it was only known by sorcerers who could communicate the will of gods and men. Even a sage like Socrates had a hard time figuring out the true meaning of the oracle that 'Socrates was the wisest man in Greece.'

Similarly, in ancient China, there were strict requirements for dream occupiers, and if these requirements were not met, the dream would not be effective. This is the famous. There is no test in possession.'
