1902 603 December 8, 1902 I saw [in my dream] that I was about to perform my ablutions when I felt that the ground underneath me was soft and hollow and that there was a cave running below it. I put my foot on it and it sank. I remember it well that I kept going down, and then I made a jump and came out. At that time I felt that I was floating about in the air inside a hollow space equal in circumference to the distance between here and the house of Navv a b Sahib. 654 I floated in it from one side to the other. Syed Muhammad A h san was standing on its bank and I called him and said: Jesus walked on water but observe that I am floating in the air, and I am the recipient of Divine grace in a greater measure than he was. Ha mid ‘Al i was with me and we floated across the enclosed space several times without having to move hand or foot, proceeding with great ease. The time of the dream was twenty minutes before 1 a. m.
