Beschrijving
Dream of Treasure Bought. (Guntram). A king falls asleep under a tree. A servant observes an animal creep out of his mouth [E721, E730], run to a stream, and try to cross it. The servant lays his sword across the stream, and the animal runs over it and into an opening in a mountain. Later the animal goes back into the mouth of the sleeping king.
The king awakes and relates that he dreamed that he went over a stream on an iron bridge and entered a mountain where he found a great treasure. The servant tells the king what he had observed. The king looks into the mountain and discovers the great treasure, which he donates to the church.
In many variants, someone else buys the dream and then finds the treasure [N531.3].
