World Dream Atlas

« When I opened a store back in Turkey, I had a very bad time. For 21 days, I had no business. I was in a lot of debt, and I had to sleep in my store. I’m not a very religious man, but one night when I was sleeping, I saw a dead holy man very very clearly. He said, ‘My son, don’t worry I will help you. I will take care of you.’ After that, my business became very good. But, I lost my character. I changed. I started gambling, and I hanged out with bad women, and I drank alcohol. When I did that, I never saw that holy man again. He never came back to my dream. I’m doing okay now, but I’m not the person I was. I don’t know who I am. Now, I’m trying change back, but it’s not easy. Right now, even if I promise to God not to gamble, not to drink, it won’t change. I’m not that strong yet. But, one day I will be, and when I am I know he will visit me again. He is just waiting for me to go closer to him »
