The Chinese character 梦 (mèng) for "dream" is composed of two parts: the radical 夕 (xī), which means "evening" or "night", and the phonetic component 孟 (mèng), which is a variant of the character 蒙 (méng), meaning "to cover" or "to hide". The combination of these two components suggests the idea of something that happens in the mind during sleep, when the world is hidden in darkness.Another interpretation of the character 梦 is that it represents a person (人) lying down (夕) and closing their eyes (目), indicating the state of sleep. The phonetic component 孟 (mèng) also contributes to the meaning of "dream" by suggesting the idea of something that is unclear or hidden, like the content of a dream.Overall, the character 梦 captures the essence of dreaming as a mysterious and elusive experience that occurs during the night.
