he told me his dreams 7 when I was little I would have dreams where I found riches: a large rare, expensive gold coin, a pile of money hidden in a cave. And the one thing I remember most is that I always wanted to take it back with me; I knew I was dreaming, and I would think, “God, please, I just want to have this gold coin when I wake up.” And I would try to hold the treasure firmly in my hand, wake myself only to find tightly clenched fists. Once I even remember putting the wealth under my pillow in my dream, and then I would wake. My instinct told me to turn over my pillow as soon as I could.
