In Chinese, there is a special dream called the golden miller dream. It is from The Dream on the Pillow by Shen Jiji of the Tang Dynasty. A discontented poor scholar named Lu Sheng yearned all day long for an official position and a distinguished career. He met an inn in Handan a Taoist priest who gave him a porcelain pillow. At that time, the inn host just started cooking a pan of millet. Lu fell asleep while waiting for his lunch and dreamed that he married the daughter of a rich man, succeeded in the highest imperial examinations, became a high-ranking official, had sons, and enjoyed a life of wealth and comfort. When waking up, he found that tha pot of millet was still cooking on the fire. Now the story is meant to satirize the nullity of fantasies and unfeasible hope. Another phrase is “golden dreams on the porcelain pillow”.
