He walked past me and then turned back. He looked at me and, a word, smiled. Suddenly, I felt the touch of and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm.
That smile my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile my best friend now.
One day. I asked him he smiled and said nothing that morning, but he couldn’t remember smiling at me!

They come to us over and over again. That because the dreamer is worrying about something. Sometimes dreaming is a way of trying to find an answer.
Some people get about their work from dreams. They may have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry into dreams.
