He regularly has the same dream involving astrange wedding to someone other than his wife, who is twice his age. Xinjianbelieves it is because he and his wife never had wedding ceremony and that thisis his way of expressing regret.
他经常做同一个梦，梦到自己和一个陌生人结婚，而不是和妻子结婚，而这名陌生人的年纪是他的两倍。他本人认为这是因为他和妻子从来没举行过婚礼，所以这是一种表达遗憾的方式。'Basically I will see my father severaltimes a month as well as my wife who passed away last year. Every year I willsee them in my dreams over 100 times,' he said.
"基本上来说，我每个月都会梦见父亲几次，还会梦见我去年去世的妻子。每年我都会梦见他们100多次，"他说。But rather than being saddened by thememories they evoke, Xinjian says they allow him to live a more fulfilled life.
这些梦境勾起了他的回忆，但是非但没有令他悲伤，反而让他过上了更加充实的生活。'Dreams are actually a gift from theheavens,' he said. 'Even without a huge extension of life, through my dreams Ihave lived another life, occupying two worlds at the same time.
“梦其实是上天给我们的礼物，”他说。“梦是另一种生活，所以我们得以同时生活在两种生活之中。”'Compared to those who do not dream I haveexperienced much more.'
“相比于那些不做梦的人，我的经历的东西比他们多。”Xinjian, who often has several dreamsduring one sleep, has gone on to study dream interpretation and hopes to turnthem into a book.
他睡觉时经常会做好几个梦，现在他在学习释梦，并旦希望出书。"My granddaughter would tell me everymorning her dream. My family find it interesting that I have this habit."
我的孙女每天早上也会告诉我她的梦境。我的家人觉得很有意思的是我也有这个习惯。”'I hope that those who have a same interestwill come together to decipher these dreams together.'
"我希望有同样兴趣的人可以走到一起来解释这些梦。"
