Noong unang panahon, may isang dalagang nagngangalang Alona na hindi kailanman nanaginip. Habang ang ibang tao ay ikinukuwento ang kanilang makukulay na panaginip, siya ay nanatiling tahimik, sapagkat wala siyang kahit anong naaalala mula sa kanyang pagtulog. Isang gabi, habang nakaupo sa tabi ng lawa, biglang lumitaw ang isang diwata na may kumikislap na buhok na parang tala sa langit. “Alona,” wika ng diwata, “ikaw ay may sumpa mula sa iyong angkan. Ngunit ngayong gabi, nais kitang pagpalain ng unang panaginip mo.” “Bakit ako? Ano ang magiging panaginip ko?” tanong ni Alona. “Huwag kang matakot,” sagot ng diwata. “Sa iyong panaginip, matutuklasan mo ang sikreto ng iyong puso.” Sa gabing iyon, sa unang pagkakataon, nanaginip si Alona. Nakita niya ang isang hardin na puno ng gintong bulaklak at isang mahiwagang salamin. Nang tumingin siya rito, nakita niya hindi lamang ang kanyang sarili kundi pati ang kanyang mga pangarap—paglalakbay, pagtulong sa pamilya, at isang mapayapang buhay. Nang magising siya, napaluha siya sa tuwa. Hindi lamang ito isang larawan sa isip, kundi isang gabay sa hinaharap. Mula noon, si Alona ay nagsimulang mangarap hindi lamang sa gabi kundi pati sa totoong buhay. Ibinahagi niya ang kanyang kwento sa buong bayan, at natutunan ng lahat na ang panaginip ay isang paalala na maaaring maging realidad kung ito’y pagsisikapan. At mula noon, ayon sa alamat, ang bawat panaginip ng tao ay isang regalo mula sa diwata ng lawa.
