The Chinese word 做梦 (zuò mèng) for "to dream" is composed of two characters: 做 (zuò) and 梦 (mèng). The character 做 originally meant "to make" or "to do", and it is still used in this sense today. However, it can also be used in a more abstract sense to mean "to experience" or "to undergo". The character 梦 originally meant "a dream" or "a vision", and it is still used in this sense today. However, it can also be used in a more figurative sense to mean "an illusion" or "a fantasy".When the two characters 做 and 梦 are combined, they create the word 做梦, which means "to dream". This word can be used to describe both the experience of dreaming while asleep and the experience of daydreaming. It can also be used in a more figurative sense to mean "to have a vision" or "to have a fantasy".The word 做梦 is a common word in Chinese, and it is used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word for HSK learners to know, as it is used in many everyday expressions.
