First Recorded Dream

Gilgamesh got up and revealed the dream, saying to his mother:
"Mother, I had a dream last night.  Stars of the sky appeared, and some kind of meterorite(?) of Anu fell next to me.  I tried to lift it but it was too mighty for me, I tried to turn it over but I could not budge it.  The Land of Uruk was standing around it, the whole land had assembled about it and kissed its feet as if it were a little baby(!)  I loved it and embraced it as a wife.  I laid it down at your feet and made it compete with me."
