I am fascinated by dreaming! I have now taken several courses on dreaming and I have read about forty books on dreaming. Shaman and medicine men/women believe that this world that we walk in is the dream, and that what we see in dream time is the reality. Some of them base this belief on the fact that when several of us are in the same situation, for example, a conversation or argument, each of us will have a different view and memory of the incident. However, if two of us have the same dream, and if we are both in it, our memories of the dream are usually the same.
The following story is quite thought provoking. What do you think this story says?

Dreaming
The great Taoist master Chuang Tzu once dreamt that he was a butterfly fluttering here and there. In the dream he had no awareness of his individuality as a person. He was only a butterfly. Suddenly, he awoke and found himself laying there, a person once again. But then he thought to himself, "Was I before a man who dreamt about being a butterfly, or am I now a butterfly who dreams about being a man?"
Happy dreaming!
Many blessings,
Judy
