眾聲喧嘩以釋夢：以《太平廣記》夢故事中夢之解釋與衝突為探討對象

Heteroglossia in interpreting dreams:Take the interpretations and conflicts of dreams in dream story of Taiping Guangji as the main object of discussion

本文嘗試從夢的解釋特質切入，以《太平廣記》為主要論述對象，觀察到許多夢 故事中有著多元的釋夢聲音，這些釋夢的聲音有時和諧一致，有時卻迥然不同甚至互 相衝突。眾多的釋夢聲音為人們建構出夢的不同意義與面向，其賦予夢的解釋及夢做 為一種多義性的象徵語言之間的關係非常值得進一步觀察與探究。本文從以下二個層 面進行論述：（一）探討夢故事中夢者、釋夢者、敘述者，甚至作者釋夢的聲音，以見 夢的多元詮釋特質；（二）透過「同夢異釋」與「一夢二占」的夢例討論釋夢的衝突現 象，發現各種詮釋之間的差異在於夢象的象徵符號被賦予不同意義選擇的緣故。經由 以上的討論可知，多元的夢解釋與衝突現象跟夢象做為一種多義性的象徵符號有關； 而不同的釋夢者立基於不同的文化、心理背景下為神秘的夢象進行解讀，也促使衝突 與和諧互相激盪並共存於《太平廣記》的夢故事中。

This study looks into dream interpretations in Taiping Guangji. In many dream stories, it is not uncommon to see different interpretations of a same dream-some are consistent, while others can be markedly different, or even conflicting. Different interpretations of the same dream are indicative of the multifacetedness of dreams. Dream as a symbolic language is worthy of further investigation. This study discusses the following two aspects: 1. Exploring the different interpretations of dreamers, dream interpreters, narrators, and even authors in dream stories to illustrate the possibilities of dream interpretations. 2. Discussing the conflicting interpretations of the same dream through the examples of ''one dream, different interpretations'' and ''self-contradiction in dream interpretations''. Different or even conflicting interpretations within a text shows that dream as a symbol can be construed liberally. Dream interpretations may vary with interpreters' cultural and psychological backgrounds, and hence the coexistence of harmony and conflict in the dream stories of Taiping Guangji.
