　　Original

　　To dream of selling official positions or buying official posts. To dream of selling an official title or rank to someone, or selling another's position, signifies wealth and status for that person; however, if the position being sold is a position in the underworld, it signifies misfortune. To dream of selling one's own position signifies loss of power and fortune; if the position being sold is not an earthly post, it is an omen of longevity and good fortune. To dream of buying an official title or rank from someone who should not have it, and to carefully examine the specific position being bought, will reveal both potential blessings in the mortal world and potential misfortunes in the underworld; or to dream of someone who should have received an official position, and to carefully examine the specific position and rank being bought, will determine whether it is auspicious or not. If the position is not an earthly post, it is not a good omen. (From *Dream Interpretation of the Forest*)

　　To dream of being appointed to an official position. For noble people, this dream signifies promotion and advancement; for ordinary people, it signifies wealth and the birth of a child. For the elderly, dreaming of being granted a position indicates illness; for those already ill, this dream is an ominous sign. (From *Dream Interpretation of the Forest*)

　　Dreaming of official registers. Seeing someone's name in the register is auspicious for scholars, but inauspicious for ordinary people. Seeing someone's name not in the register is auspicious for ordinary people, but inauspicious for scholars. Seeing someone else's name on the register indicates that person is about to be promoted to an official position. If the official position is not a human one, it is an ominous sign of worry.
