D reams have long exercised a fascination over the human imagination. We spend approximately one-third of our lives in a state of sleep, much of the night filled with dreams. Peculiarly vivid or disturbing dreams leave behind impressions that are hard to dismiss. But what are dreams? And what significance, if any, do they have for the dreamer?
As early as the fourth century B.C.E., the Chinese philosopher Chuang-tzu raised the following conundrum:
While men are dreaming, they do not perceive that it is a dream. Some will even have a dream in a dream, and only when they awake they know it was all a dream. And so, when the Great Awakening comes upon us, shall we know this life to be a great dream. Fools believe themselves to be awake now.
Once upon a time, I, Chuang-tzu, dreamed I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of following my fancies as a butterfly, and was unconscious of my individuality as a butterfly. Suddenly I was awakened, and there I lay myself again. Now I do not know whether I was a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am a butterfly now dreaming I am a man.
There are various ways of responding to Chuang-tzus observations. Some traditional cultures may place the realm of dreams on an equal footing with the realm of everyday consciousness, as Chuang-tzu appears to do. This is clearly the case for Australian aborigines who choose in some cases not to distinguish between waking events and dream events. Chuang-tzus remarks also suggest that perhaps the world as we ordinarily experience it is no more real than a dream. Traditional Eastern philosophies often espouse the assertion that this world is as illusory as a dream.
