The title caught my eye. Zhuangzi means Master Zhuang. The Butterfly Dream. As in this song:
Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly…Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.
— Zhuangzi
