Pictographic Chinese Calligraphy (48) Illusion & Dream - 梦幻

The shell bone script of character Dream is

On the left is a person, on the right is a bed, both in vertical position. Because more than 3000 years ago (shell bone script was popular then), there was no paper, people wrote or drew characters on bamboo slips which is very narrow, difficult to write horizontally, so people wrote or drew vertically very often like this character.

The big seal script of character Illusion is

The bent curve is a tree branch, the hanging 8 is spider silk, which may give people an illusion when they are wet under sunshine.

In dream we may see beautiful pictures, same as we see the colorful wet spider silk net under sunshine. They are beautiful but not real.
