This paper sets 25 dreamlands in 19 fairy tales as the object of study.Under the guidance of Freud and Jung's psychological theory,the author uses the method of text analysis and induction and so on to inspect the image of dreams in the fairy tales of Miyazawa.The paper mainly analyzes the dream image in Miyazawa's fairy tales from four aspects.The author draws the following conclusion:(1)The thought of human care.It is mainly reflected in his attention towards disadvantaged groups like peasants,teenagers,and women and so on.Through describing different life status of peasants in the dreamland,he expressed the thought of view of happiness about common prosperity of matter and spirit of peasants;through describing the image of the teenager under a pure and miserable life status,it reflects the view of the author that providing protection to the teenager,love to the teenager in the miserable condition and Buddhism guidance;through describing the description that the living status of female faces with threaten and personal emotion is ignored,it reflects the view of Miyazawa's sympathy on the destiny of female.(2)Viewpoint of ecological literature.Universe is a whole and all things on earth are the existence of intelligence,contributing to generating ecological sense of responsibility and the harmony between people and nature;kinetic theory criticized people's being blinded by gain,forgetting friendship for profit and playing hard;damages on environment reflects the ecological warning of Miyazawa.From this,Miyazawa relied on fantasies to build a “world of sympathia”,showing his ecological dream that chasing animism and integrality of universe,people can get rid of constraint of desire and sustainable development on the basis of ecological responsibility,criticism on civilization and ecological warning.(3)Childlike innocence.Miyazawa's Doctrine of childlike innocence is almost reflected in the children who are innocent and carefree.However,the childlike innocence is not everlasting,which will be changed with the increase of age,worry and bewitchment.So it needs to be protected by force of constraint.For the people who have lost pure minds,Kenji advocated awakening and reclaiming through intuitive knowledge.(4)Through analyzing the aspirations in dreams,the author inspects idea of Hinayana and Mahayana of Miyazawa.
