I read a book of poems by Rumi a few weeks back. In it, there's a story of a man who travels to find a treasure as shown to him in a dream.

Plot similar to the overarching plot of the alchemist.

BTW: read rumi if you get a chance. it's not so much poetry as broken up prose (i find poetry hard to comprehend usually). it's truly beautiful.

Quoted: . In a modern translation the story (told in verse) is titled "In Baghdad, Dreaming of Cairo: In Cairo, Dreaming of Baghdad". (The Essential Rumi, transl. Coleman Barks, New York: HarperCollins, 1995). In it, a poor man in Baghdad who inherits a lot of money and land only to squander it quickly and become poor again has a dream, in which a voice tells him to go to Cairo and dig in a certain spot to find his wealth. When he gets there, while wandering the streets and begging for coins he is picked up by a night patrol. When he tells his story to the patrolman, the latter calls him a fool and tells him of a similar dream (which he had dismissed) about a place in Baghdad, describing the very street and house in which the poor man lives.
