The document describes the narrator's childhood fear of water due to a belief that ghosts lived in it. One night, the narrator had a dream where a boy led them into a lake, holding their hand and calming their fears. From then on, the narrator no longer feared water and enjoyed swimming. Years later, near a lake, the narrator encountered a man who helped them and realized it was the same boy from their childhood dream, showing that dreams can profoundly impact one's life.

2. As a child, I was very afraid of water. I was not afraid of drowning ,
the reason was quite different. When I touched the water, it seemed
to me that there is someone, and that someone grabs me and carries
off the bottom.
Even if the depth was not great, and the water was clear, such as
the bathroom, I still kept away from there. I was sure that ghosts live
in the water.

3. One night I had a dream in which a boy took me by the
hand and led me to the lake. Surprisingly, I did not
resist, but simply followed him.
We got into the water, and I thought that it was the end. More I
won’t get back to the shore, I won’t see my friends and family,
all of life flew in front of my eyes. But suddenly the boy
squeezed my hand harder, and I calmed down.
More I didn’t scare the ghosts of water, I got rid of my fear thanks
to the stranger boy. We laughed and splashed water on each
other, and then swam to the shore. When we came out of the
water, I turned around to say «thank you» for the boy and to ask
him his name, but he was not there. He disappeared, and I didn’t
see him in my dreams any more.

4. In the morning when I woke up, immediately I told my mom that I
want to swim, that now I don’t afraid of water. She was very happy
and sent me to the swimming pool. I swam, participated in the
competitions, and took first and second places. I was happy to do my
favorite thing.

5. Years passed, and I had so many hard things:
learning, music school, tutors, dancing, so I
stopped going to the pool. I'm so tired of all
that I decided to give up my hobby. But in life,
nothing happens by accident.

6. Two months ago, when I was walking past the amazing lake
near the home of my friend, something called me, and I walked
over to the water. It was evening, shining lights and people
shoot fireworks. It was so beautiful, but I hurried home, so I
turned to leave. But suddenly I tripped and dropped my bag. A
man came up and helped me up, and picked up my bag. I
looked at him to thank.

7. Guess whom I saw in front of me? Yes, it was the boy from my
dream, who deliver me from fear. Of course, it wasn’t quite a
little boy, it was a guy about 16 years old. But his eyes and his
smile still radiated kindness. We stared at each other, but I had
to run home. The last words I said to him were, "Thank you,
that changed my life."

8. Be aware, nothing in this world happens by
chance.
Even in a dream your whole life can change.
