What is the Dream of the Red Chamber<\/strong> all about? This title is also known as A Dream of Red Mansions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since this blog is mostly about dreams, the dreamworld, dream interpretations, dream imagery, dream symbolism and etc, I thought I should read this book to learn what the hype is about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The narrative focuses on a young girl who is sent to stay with her relatives. The story starts with them being accommodating and they make her feel welcome in their combined household of several families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young people from affluent families spend their time chatting, drinking tea and wine, and eating refreshments made by the older women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is very little about dreams. Most of the writing is about how the moderately wealthy spend their lives in the company of like minded society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
