在中国文学深厚的文化底蕴中，梦文化传统始终独树一帜。经过漫长的发展演变，梦境描写以其独特的象征性、情境化、虚实结合等审美特点，逐渐成为中国古代小说中不可或缺的一部分，在拓展小说叙述空间、协调艺术虚构与艺术写实等方面发挥了重要的作用。《金瓶梅》、《红楼梦》作为中国古代小说的经典之作，其中的梦境描写不仅具有传统的共性特征，还表现出从零散性到系统化、从人物心境到人生如梦、从一维叙述倾向到双重叙述模式的鲜明发展特点。这些变化既反映出中国文学在梦境描写方面的不断创新与发展，同时也揭示了社会环境、人文思潮的变迁以及作者的主观创作动机对文学创作的共同作用与深远影响，为我们理解和欣赏中国文学中的梦文化提供了新的视角和思路。

In the profound cultural heritage of Chinese literature, the tradition of dream culture has always been unique. After a long period of development and evolution, dream description has gradually become an indispensable part of ancient Chinese novels due to its unique aesthetic characteristics such as symbolism, contextualization, and the combination of virtual and real. It has played an important role in expanding the narrative space of novels, coordinating artistic fiction with artistic realism, and so on. As classic works of ancient Chinese novels, "The Plum in the Golden Vase" and "Dream of the Red Chamber" not only have traditional common characteristics in their dream descriptions, but also exhibit distinct developmental characteristics from fragmentary to systematic, from the character's state of mind to a life like a dream, and from a one-dimensional narrative tendency to a dual narrative mode. These changes not only reflect the continuous innovation and development of Chinese literature in dream description, but also reveal the changes in social environment, humanistic trends, and the common and far-reaching influence of the author's subjective creative motivation on literary creation, providing us with new perspectives and ideas for understanding and appreciating the dream culture in Chinese literature.
