Who was the God in charge of dreams in ancient China?

Duke Zhou enjoys a lofty position in Confucian culture. Confucius said, "I no longer dream of Duke Zhou" is a metaphor for the loss of etiquette culture in the Zhou Dynasty.

Duke Zhou is a frequent figure in Confucius' dreams. In China, where Confucianism has dominated the culture for a long time, Duke Zhou is inevitably directly associated with dreams. Dreams are often called "dreams of the Duke of Zhou" or "dreaming of the Duke of Zhou".

Therefore, the Duke of Zhou is Zhou Gongdan.

Duke of Zhou

Ji Dan, also known as Shu Dan, is the fourth son of King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen. Because the fief was in Zhou (now Qishan North, Shaanxi Province), it was called Duke Zhou in history. He was an outstanding politician and strategist in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
