Introduction
正岡子規が、徹夜の翌晩に得た安眠と、その夜に見た鮮やかな夢を綴った短い随筆です。丘一面の枝垂桜、粉雪のように降る赤い花びら、美人と袖が触れ合う場面が、病床の作者の自嘲を交えて簡潔に描かれます。
English Note
Dream by Masaoka Shiki is a brief autobiographical essay about the vivid dream that followed a sleepless night. A hill covered in weeping cherry blossoms, red petals falling like powdery snow, and a passing touch of sleeves with a beautiful woman form a delicate scene, closed by the bedridden writer’s gently self-mocking reflection.
