In Our Dreams

Walking through davening
We sometimes sleep
And dream of our
Prayers being answered.

Is that a takeoff from R' Sholom Schwadron's famous homily?

It loses everything in the translation, and in a brief blog comment, but what he did was to tell a story about someone who is shopping in Machane Yehuda for tomatoes and he gets into an argument with the store owner and gets hit in the chest, whereupon he wakes up and realizes he's not in Machane Yehudah, he's in Zichron Moshe (the shul); he's not shopping for tomatoes, he's davening Shemoneh Esrai; no one hit him, he hit himself on the chest saying Selach Lanu and woke himself up ...

I heard him speak a few times as a bochur; he had the place in stitches.
