This is the most common method of interpreting dreams through homophones.

Dreaming of the tomb gate opening signifies that all matters will be auspicious. Dreaming of a bright tomb is good, while a dark tomb is ominous. Dreaming of trees growing on the tomb is good, but if the tree breaks, it is ominous. Dreaming of flowers blooming on the tomb is very auspicious (the original text says 'ji' but it is a homophone for 'gu' and was mistakenly written). Dreaming of the coffin in the tomb coming out on its own is very auspicious. Dreaming of carrying a coffin into a house indicates that official position will come.

Dreaming of opening the coffin and speaking to the dead person indicates misfortune. Dreaming of burying a dead person in a coffin indicates gaining wealth. Dreaming of a coffin floating on water and rising indicates great gain of wealth. Dreaming of an open and empty field with no one present indicates a long journey.
