Dreams
TE Lawrence(of Arabia) - The Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph - All men dream but not equally those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds awake in the day to find that it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.

For Job said, ‘It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts.’ Thus Job did continually.”
Parents: Jer 29:4-7 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.
