A litvak's thoughts

A litvak once came into shul looking dejected. His friend questioned him about the long face, and he said that he’s very confused because he had a very perplexing dream, and he doesn’t know it’s meaning.
Upon questioning from his friend, he finally elaborated that he dreamt about ‘thekavayochol’, - the Alm-ighty. His friend attempted to placate him: “You know, Chazal teach us that dreams are a reflection of one’s thoughts during the day, perhaps this was merely a result of your thinking about Him by daytime?”

“Impossible”, was his vehement denial. “You know my schedule, I get up early and learn a shiur, then I daven, and my entire day is occupied with either learning or davening. When do I ever have time to think about ‘the kavayochol’?”
