娱乐性解釋/意思:
This is a very propitious dream indeed. It gives promise of a happy and well advanced life to the tradesman, rapid accumulation of wealth, fame to literary and artistic people, and a safe voyage through the turbulent sea of love is promised to all lovers. To see a rugged mountain beyond the green expanse of grass, is momentous of remote trouble. If in passing through green grass, you pass withered places, it denotes your sickness or embarrassments in business. To be a perfect dream, the grass must be clear of obstruction or blemishes. If you dream of withered grass, the reverse is predicted.
