In each of these lives a dream made a difference. Or more accurately, the dreaming mind is credited with being the source of the ideas, insights, revelations and guidance.
History is replete with examples.
The Bible operates on dreams and visions. Great inventions have been attributed to dreams. The dream mind is a font of insight. His assasination was foretold in his wife's Calpurnia's dream. Another Ceasar, Ceasar Agustus, is said to have walked the streets as a beggar because of instructions he received in a dream.
