Assuming there is a universe out there - what if we are all in a dream
and we are just projecting our consciousness onto the universe. A wise
man once dreamed he was a butterfly. The dream was so real that when he
woke up he couldn't tell if he was a many dreaming he was a butterfly,
or if he was a bitterfly dreaming he was a man.
/"Once upon a time, I dreampt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and
thither, a veritable butterfly, enjoying itself to the fullest, not
knowing I was me. Suddenly I woke up and became myself again. So, am I a
man dreaming I was a butterfly or was am I now a butterfly dreaming I am
a man?//"/

" Thus shall you think of this fleeting world:
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream,
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream."
"...the earliest complete survival of a dated printed book."
