Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – April 3, 1997

At half past five in the morning, I woke up due to an uncomfortable dream and did not sleep again. I dreamed that after visiting one of the cities of Iran, I was going to Khuzestan and I was going to travel with my personal peugeot car that I had before the revolution. The very first Peugeot 404 car I had. I was supposed to go to the bathroom, while a large group of companions were waiting for us at the lunch place. I went to the bathroom. The bathroom facilities were unfamiliar and very detailed. Every time I took out clothes, there were still other clothes left, and every time I applied soap, it would not lather, and the water in the taps would stop. Later, it turned out that one of the employees of that place deliberately disabled the devices; His name was similar to Christian names. Besides, I was very worried about the number of companions and the lack of space in the car. Mr. [Syedkazem] Nurmfidi, [Imam Juma] Gorgan and Mr. [Abdul Majid] Maadikhah also wanted to come with me to Khuzestan. The shower was unfinished when I woke up. I assumed that it would be a picture of the unfinished tasks and responsibilities of my presidency, which will end soon.

I spent most of my time studying the history of Turkmenistan and learned some interesting points related to the history of Iran and the preparation of history lesson materials. I corrected the message to the youth film festival. I did some marching and walking. The dam water is very low. Going to the water's edge and rising up has become a kind of mountain climbing exercise, and since this is the season of rising water, every time I go, I leave a mark and the next time, I observe the height of the water. It rises almost 60 cm daily.

Two nights in a row, I dreamed that big airplanes that were not from Iran were crashing near me, and I and my companions witnessed the sight of them falling and catching fire, and sometimes the centers where they crashed caught fire.
