Interpretation of Changqing’s dreams

I’ve been interpreting his dreams by way of focusing on what was happening in the dreams and why. First though, I’d like to explain why I began thinking of an interpretation for his dreams. I started pondering about what his dreams might mean because time and time again, I always found them to be so fascinating, unusual, and mysterious since they had so many mystical elements that had a lot to do with Changqing’s psychological and emotional states (which is what I believe is the cause of him having those dreams, and not Zixuan giving them to him). Here’s something I thought corresponds very well with why I think Yeping and Changqing dreams of Zixuan (even though he may not remember their past lives together):
“Michel de Certeau’s work, in the latter part of the twentieth century, has compared the procedures common to both mysticism and psychoanalysis, suggesting that the body, far from being ruled by discourse, is itself a symbolic language, and that in both psychoanalysis and mysticism the body is perceived as responsible for a truth of which it is unaware. Thus the body holds the ‘key’ to the ‘truth’ of the ‘space’ represented by the mystical or unconscious. This has caused the modern study of mysticism to focus, like psychoanalysis, on the bodily manifestations of the psyche’s or soul’s condition in order to understand the ‘truth’ of that condition.” — excerpt from http://www.answers.com/topic/mysticism
Changqing/Yeping was unaware of the ‘truth’ because he couldn’t remember his past memories.
