In short, it is about him waking up from a dream that he was a butterfly, only to turn around and essentially ask “how do I know I’m not a butterfly dreaming im a human?”

I think it’s a beautiful parable. One that addresses the nature of the self, and fundamentally questions the means at which we self identify.

I use 荘子 parables in my book often. There is a lot of wisdom in there.
