mèng

dream (CL:場|场[chang2],個|个[ge4])

(bound form) to dream

Forest (林) + evening (夕) = dream

Dreams arise when you lie beneath shadowy trees as evening falls — the forest and dusk together conjure the hazy world of sleep. The full traditional form adds a bed and an eye, but even in the simplified version the dim, wooded twilight sets the scene.
