Excerpt from the ongoing translation of Yimay Shmuel Part 1
It was said of him that he would use two types of dream-questions which were accepted by the Torah leaders, such as Rabbi Hai Gaon and others: In one method, he would hear the answer through a heavenly voice, and in the other, he would lay a piece of paper with the question written on it under his pillow before going to sleep, and when awoke he would find the answer written on the paper.
Before asking any dream-question, he would do several fasts and mortification's, and several immersions in a ritual bath.
