IMAGE: Once Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, a fluttering butterfly. What fun he had, doing as he pleased! He did not know he was Zhou. Suddenly he woke up and found himself to be Zhou. He did not know whether Zhou had dreamed he was a butterfly or a butterfly had dreamed he was Zhou.

Once Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, a fluttering butterfly. What fun he had, doing as he pleased! He did not know he was Zhou. Suddenly he woke up and found himself to be Zhou. He did not know whether Zhou had dreamed he was a butterfly or a butterfly had dreamed he was Zhou. - Zhuangzi [Zhuang Zhou / Chuang Tzu] (c. 369? - c. 286B.C.?) (trans. by Patricia Buckley Ebrey (1947 - ), Chinese Civilization: A Sourcebook, The Classical Period)
