A dream means it is not !

One zen master awoke one morning. He called one disciple who was passing by and said,

’Listen. I had a dream.
Would you like to interpret it?’

The disciple said, ’Wait.’ And he went out and brought a bucket of water and told the old man to wash his face.

The old man did so, and laughed and blessed the disciple and said, ’Right. This is the right interpretation of the dream.’

Then another disciple who was passing was called and the master said, ’Look, I had a dream and I asked this disciple to interpret it and he brought a bucket of water. Now, would you like to interpret it?’

The disciple said, ’Wait.’ He went out and came back with a cup of tea.
He said, ’Please drink a cup of tea. Finished! The dream is finished,
so why bother about it?’

When you are awake, you are awake. When you have understood that it is a dream, it needs no interpretation. Finished!
A dream means it is not. What is the need to interpret something which is not?
