Dreaming / 夢想花

During a dream, I have heard that we are visiting the other side of the world for a little while. In reality, we have the concepts of time and space, but dreams do not have these concepts. The dream world is the proper form of the universe, and I am reminded of the discourse in Zhuangzi's "The Butterfly Dream". Modern science also holds that the universe was born out of thought. This space that we perceive as reality is built on very vague elements, and the boundary between the real and the unreal is extremely thin. However, it may be important to always be aware of the boundary between common sense and the insane, and to maintain equilibrium between the both sides.

夢の間は少しだけあの世にお邪魔しているのだと聞いたことがあります。現実には時間と空間の概念がありますが、夢にはそれらの概念はありません。謂わば夢の世界が宇宙の正しい姿であり、荘子の『胡蝶の夢』の説話が思い出されます。また、近代科学には宇宙は思考から生まれたという説があります。私達が現実であると認識しているこの空間は、非常に曖昧な要素の上に成り立っており、現実と非現実の境界は極めて薄いと言えるでしょう。しかし常識と非常識の境目を常に意識しながら、双方の均衡を保つことが大切なのかもしれません。
