Sure, Dr. Ben Carson, National Health Advisor, had a dream in which all the answers on his certification exam that he took the next day were revealed, but he had prayed for assistance. My dreams are much less spectacular and way less profitable.
Aside from the rare and unforgettable nightmares, my dreams now are of the slice of life variety. Often a situation or problem where I am merely a bystander, observing the action or processes taking place. Sometimes the context is so bizarre or potentially of use, that I want to recall the substance of the dream, either for future use, or else to analyze it in full so I can rid myself of its intrusion in bits and pieces into my memory. Often I think I can recall a dream from which I've just awakened. That seems clear at first; I will remember that, I say to myself. But most of the time those fragments of memory slip away like passing clouds, or rivers runing out to sea, never to be recalled.
The other night I had such a dream. I wanted to remember it, or recall the substance of it. I focused on the last words spoken in the dream, which at the time made perfect sense: "The bald-headed man will have the answer." Try as I might, I can't retrieve the rest of the dream, so I have no idea what answer he might have. But I do have some questions.
