The headline of the first chapter is already a major roadblock:

第一回　甄士隐梦幻识通灵　贾雨村风尘怀闺秀

First Chapter / Act (第一回):

I identified 2 proper names:

• 甄士隐 Zhēnshìyǐn
• 贾雨村 Jiǎyǔcūn
  

So here is my try:

1. part: 甄士隐 has a dream/vision about the afterworld (?); in a vision he experiences / connects with the afterlife

2. part: 贾雨村 lives an ordinary life / life of a peasant (风尘) but dreams of / longs for (怀) the society ladies (闺秀 guīxiù)

Any other suggestions? If not I will continue with the actual story in the coming days - maybe it is easier than its title...
