“Once upon a time, I, Zhuangzi, dreamt I was a butterfly. 
 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.."
--   Zhuangzi (Chuang-tzu) (369 BCE to 286 BCE)

"Master Zhuang and Frog"

​"Only after the great awakening will we realize that this is the great dream. And yet fools think they are awake, presuming to know that they are rulers or herdsmen. How dense!"
