"Zhuang Zhou Dreams of a Butterfly" is the English translation of the Chinese philosophical story "莊周夢蝶" from the Daoist text "Zhuangzi." The story explores the nature of reality and illusion, as Zhuang Zhou (Zhuangzi) dreams he is a butterfly and upon waking, questions whether he is a man who dreamed of being a butterfly or a butterfly now dreaming he is a man. This narrative is a classic illustration of the Daoist concept of the fluidity and interchangeability of perspectives and identities.
