The dream changed. First I went through a silent forest. Then I was alone in a small boat, which was floating along, past tree-covered islands. The boat was carrying me between grassy banks with colorful dots here and there. The water was so clear that some soft clouds in bright sky could be seen in it. The current must have been strong, for the boat kept moving forward quickly, as though

it were being pushed by some unseen hand.

At last the boat came to a place with a narrow stretch of silver sand. An old man was standing, his hand shading his eyes. As the boat ran around, he came up to me, held out his hand, and greeted me politely.
