In China, there is a famous philosophical anecdote called “Zhuang Zhou Dreams of a Butterfly.”

Roughly speaking, one day Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had become a butterfly, fluttering freely and joyfully, completely forgetting that he was Zhuang Zhou. When he woke up, he clearly knew that he was Zhuang Zhou again. This led him to wonder:
was it Zhuang Zhou who dreamed he was a butterfly, or was it the butterfly dreaming that it was Zhuang Zhou?

So perhaps what happens in dreams is what is truly real.
And maybe right now, you are the one dreaming 😀
