While doing this She Came to life which much Surprised me and as I Called her by name I awoke. I also herd in my dream that another friend was dead but I did not recollect the name.

[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] .... We have had some good dreams of late about ketching fish & I hope we may soon realize it by Baptizing many Souls for we have laboured hard in this City for many weeks & with great expens & baptized as yet ownly 19 souls. But we will not despise the Day of Small things but hope for more.
I also had an interview with a gentleman that had been a member of the Irvinite Society but had left them. He attended our meeting.
We retired to rest & I dreamed of ketching fish, fowl, geese & Turkies, in nets, & seeing a house on fire. Elder Kimball also Dreamed of casting a net & ketching a good hall of fish, two large ones, & gathering fruit. So I think sumthing will be done soon. (1)

[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] ...Returned to our sitting room, & in addition to some bread & Cheese & a pint of beer we made out a supper & went to bed, & I dreamed of falling among thieves & robbers, who tried to rob us under pretence that we had done sumthing wrong in London some years since. I told them we never had been in London untill within few months that we were Americans & had a family there, & we had come to preach the gospel & we would preach to them, if they would open their doors & after bothering awhile with them I awoke, & found it to be the first Christmas Eve I ever Spent in London.
