Butterfly Dream

23 Apr 2022 3 1 85
The uncertainty surrounding the states of dreaming and wakefulness was perhaps best captured by the influential Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi (369 BCE to 286 BCE) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuangzi_(book) In his famous ‘Butterfly Dream,’ he wrote: “Once upon a time, I, Zhuangzi, dreamt I was a butterfly, I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Zhuangzi. Soon I awakened, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.” ~ Page 9
