"The Wise Frog In The Well" is a beautifully illustrated children's story about how a frog who always lived in a well became very wise by being very observant and wiser than well-travelled but unobservant creatures. The book was published and I was nervously talking about it and reading from it at the conference room of a fancy new library.

Then I woke up. It was just a dream. I never wrote such a book and the story premise first appeared in my dream. The illustrations were amazingly detailed, colorful, yet just right for a children's book, also gone with my dream.

    No doubt inspired by your son, age 4. Riveting.

    I've had dreams of successes and revelations that were pretty detailed, but lost on waking. It's really frustrating. Especially the one that I filled out a lottery ticket and won several hundred million dollars just before waking..........and couldn't remember the numbers I had chosen.

    Sal, when the results are out and you see the numbers, do you get a sense of Déjà vu?

      I watched a few times after that but, no, didn't feel any familiarity. Usually I don't play. If I ever dream of it again I'll wake myself up and record the numbers and play them.

    I think you should write the book, and get it published. You can get any book published on Createspace (part of Amazon.com) at almost no cost. Your son would love it, and so would lots of other sons.

    You should write it, sometimes the best ideas come in a dream. "The Wise Frog In The Well" is a great name for a children's book IMO
