Is there a connection between China's traditional culture and dreams?

I thought the same thing.

Take Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly as an example.

The original text is "Zhuangzi's Theory of Everything": "Yesterday, Zhou Meng was Hu Die, and Hu Die was vivid, which was a metaphor for his ambition! I don't know, Zhou Ye. If you suddenly feel it, you will suddenly feel it. I wonder if Zhou Zhimeng is Hu Die and? Hu Die's dream is Zhou Yu? There will be points in the weekly meeting. This is called materialization. "

One day, Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had become a butterfly, a dancing butterfly. I am very happy and carefree, and I don't know that I am Zhuang Zhou. After a while, I woke up, but it was Zhuang Zhou lying in bed. I wonder if Zhuang Zhou's dream turned into a butterfly, or if the butterfly's dream turned into Zhuang Zhou?

This fable is a famous article showing Zhuangzi's thought of homogeneity. Zhuangzi believes that if people can break the boundaries between life and death, things and me, they will be unhappy.

Zhuangzi's thought can be said to be an element of China's traditional culture. He expressed his ideas through the dream butterfly. It can also prove that China's traditional culture is related to dreams.
