【No. 0380】First Dream of the Year

Jan 2, 2016 16:25
First Dream of the Year is called Hatsuyume in Japan.

Japanese people often forecast the year's fortune from the contents of Hatsuyume.

There is the saying "Ichi fuji ni taka san nasu," which represents highly auspicious tokens in Hatsuyume.

This means that the most auspicious one is Mount Fuji, the second one is a hawk, and the third one is an eggplant.

Also, dreams of death, disaster, excrement and blood also seem to auspicious.

On the other hand, dreams to be encouraged by oneself and to be chased seem to be bad.

In my Hatsuyume, I was riding my road bike with old friends.
初夢

新年を迎えてから初めて見る夢を、初夢と言います。

日本では、初夢の内容で1年の吉凶を占う風習があります。

初夢に見ると縁起が良いものを表す諺に「一富士二鷹三茄子」というものがあります。

最も縁起の良いものが富士山、次が鷹、三番目が茄子という意味です。

また、死ぬ夢や震災の夢、排泄物や血の夢も縁起が良いそうです。

自分に励まされる夢や追いかけられる夢は悪い夢だそうです。

私は旧友とロードバイクに乗っている初夢を見ました。

    I can't really explain this, it's kind of a weird English rule. Just know that you're trying to describe what the dreams are about, so you need "of".

There are very few mistakes here, and most of the ones I corrected made sense and were just corrected for the sake of clarity. Your English is very good, and I actually had to look up what auspicious meant. Keep it up!

Interesting :D In Chinese customs, there are something like that too, but we do not really predict our dreams from there. Some of us just treat it as a guide or a normal dream. So is your dream considered good or bad? :)

Thank you very much for correcting my post, and letting my know the interesting thing! :)
In my dream, actually I was climbing a mountain by my bicycle, and it was a race and I was chased by my friends. Mountains are good, but to being chased is bad, so I think my dream was normal, haha.

I can't remember what I dreamt of last night! I don't think it was Mount Fuji or an eggplant though, haha

Haha, to remember dreams is really difficult with no regard to them.
