Dream interpretation KoL style

The Mighty Milkmaid · January 4th, 2005, 03:19 AM

I know about the Tooth Fairy dream and I've heard about the Freddy Krugaer (sp?) dream but what is the butterfly dream supposed to do? Am I just missing the refrence or does something happen given special conditions?

Also, are there any other dreams? If so, what do they do?

I don't think I've used the rest button since I tried to get further in the basement a month ago. I'd forgotten it existed!

Same as Tom.. I rarely use the rest button. As for the dream, I have no idea. The only dream I've ever had was the one where you're standing in front of the council of loathing with only your underwear on. =/

You are indeed missing a reference. It's based on an old koan (used in Zen to clear the mind of troubling thoughts and get ready for meditation.)

"The great Taoist master Chuang Tzu once dreamt that he was a butterfly
fluttering here and there. In the dream he had no awareness of his
individuality as a person. He was only a butterfly. Suddenly, he awoke and
found himself laying there, a person once again. But then he thought to
himself, "Was I before a man who dreamt about being a butterfly, or am I now
a butterfly who dreams about being a man?"

Trippy.

Dreams matter? Coolio, I got loose teeth from the tooth fairy dream, I never had any other dreams except that Ronald was smling down on me.

I have had many dream. I am Butterfly on wind, and fat man in tutu. Life is dream, and we are always waking from deeper dream. We are all butterfly, as well as man.
