"A Sequel to the Yellow Millet Dream" (simplified Chinese: 续黄粱; traditional Chinese: 續黃粱; pinyin: Xù Huángliáng), also translated as "Dr Tsêng's Dream", is a short story written by Chinese author Pu Songling in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio (1740). The story revolves around an ambitious scholar whose dreams of becoming prime minister apparently come true, and his subsequent fall from grace. Inspired by previous works of the same genre, "A Sequel to the Yellow Millet Dream" was received favourably by literary critics.
