Entula En'

Literally, I did. I wonder how many people actually learn something that can be useful or applicable in real life from their dreams.

For me, it was skating. As children, it was our thing to do when everyone met up at the local masjid or over at a friend’s house. In my dream, I specifically remember how I was skating down a hill, letting gravity do most of the work. A friend then shouts to me that I should swing my feet forward in a sweeping motion as she whizzed by.

Then I got my first Rollerblades. I tried my dream technique and probably fell down a couple dozen times in the process that eventually proved to be successful. Needless to say, my ten-year-old self was amazed.

Dreams are so random, but back then I believed in this one and the probability that others can be just as true. It’s true the hill we were skating on later transformed into a very familiar looking swimming pool but that’s beside the point.

Have dreams ever been of use to you or proven true?
