Answer:
Do you have any recurring dreams? Dreams where you are flying or falling, perhaps? In Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago, a Cuban fisherman, dreams of lions he saw on the coast of Africa as a boy. The narrator describes Santiago's recurring dream:
'He was asleep in a short time and he dreamed of Africa when he was a boy and the long golden beaches and the white beaches, so white they hurt your eyes, and the high capes and the great brown mountains. He lived along that coast now every night and in his dreams he heard the surf roar and saw the native boats come riding through it. He smelled the tar and oakum of the deck as he slept and he smelled the smell of Africa that the land breeze usually brought at morning.'The setting for the story is simple: an old fisherman, Santiago, prepares for and then experiences a three-day fishing trip. The first night, before he sets out on his trip, Santiago dreams of Africa. The narrator notes:
'He no longer dreamed of storms, nor of women, nor of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights, nor contests of strength, nor of his wife. He only dreamed of places now and of lions on the beach. They played like young cats in the dusk and he loved them as he loved the boy.'
On his second day at sea, Santiago stays awake, dragging the huge marlin hooked on his fishing line. He is tired; he wishes he could sleep and dream of the lions. He says to himself, 'Why are the lions the main thing that is left?'
On the second night at sea, Santiago sleeps. Initially he dreams of porpoises during mating season, leaping into the air. Then he dreams that he is in his bed in the village and is very cold. Then, 'he began to dream of the long yellow beach and he saw the first of the lions come down onto it in the early dark and then the other lions came and he rested his chin on the wood of the bows where the ship lay anchored with the evening off-shore breeze and he waited to see if there would be more lions and he was happy.'
The novella ends with Santiago in bed, resting after his three-day ordeal with the marlin. 'The old man was dreaming about the lions.' is the last sentence.
