The movie starts in Zonguldak, in 1941. While two young poet Muzaffar Tayyip Uslu (Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ) and Rüştü Onur (Mert Fırat) continue their civil service life in this newly modernized mining city, they also live together with art, literature, and most poetry, they have a dream to become a butterfly as to fly on sky as to become a famous poet. While the young Republic, newly rising on its feet, was trying to modernize, on the one hand, World War II was experienced in Europe in the same years. In a society where poetry and art have not yet matured, these two tuberculosis young people are trying to make all segments of society love poetry. They saw a beautiful girl Suzan Özsöy (Belçim Bilgin) and they made a bet to write poetry. Whoever's she prefers, wins the bet. Suzan likes Rustu's poem but Muzaffar wins the heart of Suzan. Muzaffer falls in love with Suzan. Suzan, who is still a high school student, becomes close friends with the two young people, despite her family's disapproval. But tuberculosis, the plague of the 1940s, is increasingly threatening the health of both young people. Muzaffer and Onur both suffer from tuberculosis. Rustu becomes very ill and admits to the hospital, Where he meets a girl Mediha Sessiz (Farah Zeynep Abdullah) who was also struggling with her illness, and falls for her.
There is a view in philosophy known as epistemological scepticism in which it is held that we cannot know anything for certain. There are a number of arguments for why this is the case that have issued from sceptical voices over the thousands of years this has been debated. One of these arguments is known as the 'dreaming argument' and was most famously formulated by Rene Descartes in his Meditations. The idea is that if I believe that my dreams are real while I am experiencing them then how can I tell that what I am now experiencing is really real and not just a dream? This is an idea that some children think of themselves, independently of doing philosophy, and so that makes the question an interesting and relevant one for children to do in a philosophy session. However, one needs to be very careful about how it is approached and for this reason I have put this session together to make the introduction of this idea gentle and unthreatening. I have used, not Descartes, but instead an ancient Chinese Toaist philosopher called Chuang Tzu for my example of the dreaming argument. Strictly speaking it is not a formal argument but it presents the idea clearly and in an appropriate way. I continue to keep this story, and the ensuing discussion, in the third person, i.e. about Chuang Tzu rather than about the children so as to maintain an unthreatening atmosphere. So, when I anchor them back to the Task Question I always say: "so how can Chuang Tzu know which is dreaming: him or the butterfly?" They of course may make the connection to themselves, and that's fine, but I do not pursue the discussion framed in this way.
Chuang Tzu was a philosopher in ancient China, who, one night went to sleep and dreamed that he was a butterfly. He dreamt that he was flying around from flower to flower and while he was dreaming he felt free, blown about by the breeze hither and thither. He was quite sure that he was a butterfly. But when he awoke he realised that he had just been dreaming, and that he was really Chuang Tzu dreaming he was a butterfly. But then Chuang Tzu asked himself the following question: "was I Chuang Tzu dreaming I was a butterfly or am I now really a butterfly dreaming that I am Chuang Tzu?"

This poem, "Spring Rain" was written in the late 1800's by Court Lady Saisho Atsuko. The wife of a samurai, she served the Empress and Empress Dowager in the Imperial Court in all literary affairs, and left behind a large number of her poems
I wrote the melody of this song to fit the beauty of the poem and attempt to capture in music the feeling of spring rain. The English lyrics are my take on the original translation. $(".tralbum-about").last().bcTruncate(TruncateProfile.get("tralbum_about"), "more", "less"); lyrics Hana no ue ni

After Xiao and the Traveler successfully initiate the ritual, the soul of Starsnatcher appears before them, believing it is a dream. The Traveler proves this false and makes an example out of him. Starsnatcher is terrified by their strength and begs for mercy, believing them to be adepti. Paimon then states that they aren't adepti, but then introduces Xiao, who chastises Starsnatcher for his actions. Starsnatcher then asks Xiao for his name, only to be told by the Traveler who he actually is. In a surprising twist, Starsnatcher begins praising Xiao, revealing himself to be a fan of the Vigilant Yaksha.
In the vast expanse of human history, there lies a tapestry of thoughts, philosophies, and reflections, each weaving its unique story into the intricate design of collective consciousness. Among these myriad contemplations emerges a singular, poetic notion that captures the imagination and touches the very soul: "We are the dream of a butterfly." This seemingly simple idea, draped in layers of profundity, serves as a gateway to explore the essence of our existence, the nature of reality, and our interconnectedness with the universe.
In essence, to consider our lives through the lens of a butterfly's dream is to embark on a philosophical and spiritual odyssey. It is to traverse the boundaries of time and thought, to connect with the essence of humanity's collective wisdom, and to discover the profound beauty, mystery, and interconnectedness of all things. Join us on this journey, as we delve into the dream of the butterfly and uncover the timeless truths that bind us all.
In a realm of interconnectedness, where boundaries between self and universe dissolve, I once dreamt I was a butterfly. In this dream, I fluttered with no knowledge of being Chuang Tzu. But as I awoke, I found myself to be Chuang Tzu once more. This raises a peculiar question: was I, Chuang Tzu, dreaming I was a butterfly? Or am I now a butterfly, dreaming I am Chuang Tzu?
This contemplation serves as a mirror to the ambiguity of existence and identity. In our lives, we often hold firm to the belief of our solidity, our permanent self. Yet, the experience of the butterfly dream urges one to reconsider. In the grand dance of existence, the lines of duality blur. What we perceive as reality might merely be a dream, and vice versa.
In this whimsical interplay between the dreamer and the dream, we unearth a profound truth about the nature of existence. Perhaps, it's not about the butterfly or Chuang Tzu but about the inseparable connection between the dreamer and the dream, reminding us of the fluidity of reality and urging us to ponder upon the dream-like nature of our own existence.
Are we then, in this vast universe, merely the dream of another being, as ethereal and transient as a butterfly's dream? The essence is not to find a definitive answer but to embrace the wonderment of this infinite possibility.
All beings wander through the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, bound by the chains of attachment, desire, and ignorance. In this ever-turning wheel of samsara, the notion that "We are the dream of a butterfly" resonates deeply with the teachings I have laid down.
Consider the nature of dreams. They arise from the mind, ephemeral and transient, lasting but a moment before fading away. Similarly, all phenomena in this world are impermanent, arising and ceasing due to causes and conditions. The life we lead, with all its joys and sorrows, might be likened to a fleeting dream of a butterfly. Just as a butterfly awakens from its dream and takes flight, so too can sentient beings awaken from the illusion of self and the world, reaching the state of Nirvana.
In the heart of this teaching lies the concept of "anatta" or "non-self." Just as the butterfly in its dream is both the dreamer and the dreamt, we too must come to the realization that there is no permanent self, no unchanging entity that is "I" or "mine." We are but a collection of ever-changing processes, a stream of consciousness that is in constant flux.
Thus, when one contemplates the idea of being a butterfly's dream, it becomes an invitation to deeper insight. Are we not, in every moment, dancing on the edge of existence and non-existence, between the dream and the awakened state? By seeing through the veil of samsara and recognizing our true nature, we can liberate ourselves from suffering and attain the supreme peace of enlightenment.
