"Dream - November 8th, 1996.
I was at my teacher Mr. Wang's home with some other girls. Mr. Wang Shouyi and his wife were at home, we were looking for money. I said to Mr. Wang: How come there's only one person in the room taking money in and out? It doesn't follow the standard procedure. There were some pictures painted by Wang's daughter on RMB bills - landscapes with artificial rocks and tiny people. These cannot be used as money, they're only evidence of counterfeit. We were all talking about this. The man next to me was holding a leather bag with a tiger-skin cat in it. I was playing with the cat. An elephant was nudging my head and neck using its trunk. The other elephants were feeding other animals with the dead snakes they dragged out. I saw the cat came down and started playing with another black-and-while cat, patting each other using their paws. Walking on the street I saw an old woman lying there being treated by a woman in black. The woman inserted an obstetric forceps into the old woman's hystera. Standing there, I felt severe pain in my lower belly as if hit by an electric shock. "
"梦1996.11.8
我和几个女孩在王老师家，王守义，他老婆在家，我们几个在分头找钱。我对王老师说：怎么只有一个人在屋来回拿钱，不符合手续，还有的图画是王守义女儿画的，人民币上都是小小人和假山石等等风景。这不能作为钱，只能是一种伪造手续的证明。大家都在一个桌子上谈论这件事儿。挨着我坐着的一个男孩手拎一个皮包，内装一只虎皮猫，我在和它玩。身后有一只大象用鼻子反复弄我头和脖子，还有大象一把把死蛇拉出来喂给动物吃。我见那虎皮猫跑下来和另一只小野黑白两色猫用前手拍打对方的头一下下，对方又拍打它一下下。走在大街上见一个老年妇女在躺在路边的床上看妇科病，只见穿黑衣妇女用铲钳插入那妇女子宫，我站在那身体下部在过电一般。"
