Awakening and dreaming

I once dreamt of a dozen blind men groping round a huge zen elephant. One was holding on to the tail and claiming it's a rope. One was holding on to the leg and claiming it's a tree.

I wanted to shout to them that it's an elephant! but I couldn't speak.

Suddenly I woke up. I was so excited by my realisation that I ran straight to the room beside mine and rapped on the door. My sister opened it.

"Zen is a huge elephant!" I explained to her. "I've got it now!

She smiled at me and said nothing. And it was at that moment I realised - I don't have a sister. This is just another dream.

And I woke up.


Question: What is zen?
