Abstract
"Last night Chuang Chou dreamed he was a butterfly, spirits soaring he was a butterfly (is it that in showing what he was suited his own fancy?), and did not know about Chou. When all of a sudden he awoke, he was Chou with all his wits about him. He does not know whether he is Chou who dream he is a butterfly or a butterfly who dreams he is Chou. Between Chou and the butterfly there was necessarily a dividing; just this is what is meant by the transformation of things."When I was nine years old, I distinctly remember dreaming of eating cotton candy. I could see the pink, fluffy material and taste the sweetness of the treat. When I woke up, I realized I actually was chewing on something, only it was my teddy bear. But did I really chew on a stuffed animal, dreaming it was cotton candy, or was I eating cotton candy and dreamed it turned into a teddy bear?
