I sometimes have dreams, or I sometimes remember dreams. I soon forget the contents.
There are many types of dream. I was a soldier in Roman era, an Indian Buddhist monk, a farmer in Edo era, or a dog. I guess my soul remind when his body was alive. Does it mean that the soul is immortal? The cycle of reincarnation must be true and real.
Soseki Natsume, a novelist in Meiji era, published "Yume Juya" ( Ten stories of my dream ) in 1908. It starts with " I saw the following dream.” Soseki appeared not only in Meiji era but also in Myth era, Kamakura era, etc.. He crossed over space-time like as me.
I am looking forward to tonight dream.

Formerly, I, Zhuang Zhou, dreamt that I was a butterfly, a butterfly flying about, feeling that it was enjoying itself. I did not know that it was Zhou. Suddenly I awoke, and was myself again, the veritable Zhou. I did not know whether it had formerly been Zhou dreaming that he was a butterfly, or it was now a butterfly dreaming that it was Zhou. But between Zhou and a butterfly there must be a difference. This is a case of what is called the Transformation of Things.
