悉余治愈。既而自病甚危，梦一淡妆中年妇人，持合贮红药一丸，以药纳余口中而去，乃大汗而寤，口中尚有药
香，病即已。复因作劳太早，倏然晕去，余妹甫十七岁，泣祷于天，欲 股以救，而余已苏，妹因卒吓遂吐血。
至今思之，愧无以报也。嗣后冬始衣絮。壬寅病 ，热盛时梦日月并丽于天，而有带下垂，余手挽两带而撼之，
日月皆动，遂惊醒，出汗而愈。丙午酷热，而酬应甚繁，始患满额暑疡，续患痢，又患疟，热时辄梦御风而行，
告愈之时凌虚上至霄汉，忽坠渊一浴，汗出如涌而苏。丁未续娶。己酉夏，钱塘沈悦亭茂才邀视陈茂才疫证，势
已垂危。余初不知其兼患霉疮也，略不经意，吸其秽毒，归而即病。虽服故孝子张君养之之药而愈，时梦身化异
类，遍体鳞甲，游泳深渊，腾云而上，适雨声如注而觉，汗如沐雨，而天雨竟数日不止，江浙因以成灾，亦奇矣
哉。此后始衣帛。乙卯挈眷回籍。丙辰秋杪，病于省寓。十月初六夜，梦法华山备冠服、舆从，迎余赴职，余即
忻然冠带而去，出钱塘门，过昭庆寺，见老少妇女数百人持香拦阻，因停舆，巳而东岳传令送归，余遂返寓，甫
到门，一跌而寤。此梦则更奇也，究不知后来何如？嗟乎，幸而免者屡矣。附录于此，以存梦境。
All were cured by me. Subsequently, I fell critically ill myself. In a dream, I saw a middle-aged woman with light makeup holding a box containing a red pill. She placed the pill into my mouth and left. I then woke up in a profuse sweat, still smelling the medicinal fragrance in my mouth, and the illness subsided. Later, due to overexertion too early, I suddenly fainted. My younger sister, only seventeen years old, wept and prayed to Heaven, wishing to cut flesh from her thigh to save me, but I had already regained consciousness. The sister, terrified by the incident, subsequently vomited blood. Reflecting on this to this day, I feel ashamed and unable to repay her kindness. From then on, I began wearing cotton wadding in winter. In the Renyin year, while suffering from an illness, during periods of intense heat, I dreamed that both the sun and moon hung in the sky, with ribbons hanging down. I grasped the two ribbons with my hands and shook them; the sun and moon moved accordingly. I then woke up startled, sweating, and recovered. In the Bingwu year, amidst extreme heat and heavy social engagements, I first developed summer sores covering my forehead, followed by dysentery, and then malaria. During feverish episodes, I often dreamed of riding the wind. When told I would recover, I imagined soaring through the clouds to the highest heavens, then suddenly falling into an abyss for a bath, waking up with sweat pouring out like a gushing spring. In the Dingwei year, I remarried. In the summer of the Jiyu year, Shen Yueting, a Xiucai (scholar) from Qiantang, invited me to examine Chen, another Xiucai, who was suffering from an epidemic disease in a critical condition. Initially unaware that he also suffered from syphilis (plague sore), I was somewhat careless, inhaled the foul toxin, and fell ill immediately upon returning home. Although I recovered after taking medicine prescribed by the late filial son Mr. Zhang Yangzhi, I dreamed at that time that my body transformed into a different creature, covered in scales, swimming in a deep abyss, and rising on clouds. I awakened just as rain sounded like a torrent, sweating as if drenched by rain, while it actually rained continuously for several days, causing disasters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This was indeed a marvel. From then on, I began wearing silk garments. In the Yimao year, I took my family back to our ancestral home. In the late autumn of the Bingchen year, I fell ill in my residence in the provincial capital. On the night of October 6th, I dreamed that Mount Fahuahua had prepared official hats, robes, carriages, and attendants to welcome me to my post. Joyfully, I donned my hat and belt and departed. Passing through Qiantang Gate and Zhaoqing Temple, I saw hundreds of men, women, and children holding incense to block my way. I stopped the carriage. Soon, the Lord of Mount Dongyue transmitted orders to send me back, so I returned to my residence. Upon reaching the gate, I stumbled and woke up. This dream was even more peculiar; ultimately, I do not know what happened later. Alas, I have been spared many times. I append this here to preserve the record of these dreams.
