Anyone Know Re Chinese Ancestor Stuff?

Hi everyone –

My lady is of Chinese Canadian extraction. Recently we’ve both been making strong progress and she has realised her family is kind of crap at doing its job – basically is taking over alot of responsibilities and has become de facto matriarch of some kind.

I say this because she had a strange dream. She often ‘dreams true’. This was one of those. Started like a normal dream. She was in a theatre putting on a show, suddenly found herself having to be director, telling people what to do and a little pissed about it. Realised it was family members she was talking to. So far so obvious.

Then other people seemed to come into dream, people she didn’t know, but Chinese like her. They started taking an interest in her. They look her up and down and talk amongst themselves – “Who IS that?” “Oh that’s ROGER’s kid?” “Really? ROGER’s kid?”.

One comes up to her, “So you’re Roger’s child.”. He looks deep into her eyes and they talk for a moment but she doesn’t really remember what about – about what she likes to do with herself. Then – very strangely – he sticks his finger in her mouth for a moment.

That’s all really. She had the impression they were from her family, her dad’s side. Question: does anyone here know about Chinese ancestor stuff as her family is not much help? Are there any good resources? Also what is the significance of the finger-in-mouth thing? I thought of it as a get-to-know-you gesture, an energy-tasting… but it freaked her a little.

I know this isn’t anyone’s specialty here necessarily but thought I’d ask.

Thanks, NN
