Can a sweet dream be sad?

ANSWER: Yes!

A disciple wakes up crying one late autumn night. His Buddhist master sees him crying and asks,

"Did you have a scary dream?"
"No."
"Did you have a sad dream?"
"No, it was a sweet dream."
"Then, why are you crying so sadly?"
"Because it was a dream I will never be able to realize."
