In what way did a dream play a role in connecting the devotee Laxmichand to Sai Baba?

Dreams were a significant medium for Sai Baba's divine play, as seen in the story of Laxmichand. Chapter 28 narrates that about one or two months before his first visit to Shirdi in 1910, Laxmichand had an unexpected dream with "nothing in mind or thought." In it, he saw a vision of a venerable sadhu with a beard, surrounded by many devotees. Later, when he attended a kirtan by Dasganu, he saw a picture of Sai Baba and was struck by the resemblance to the sadhu in his dream. The text notes he saw the "same beard, the same age, the same features," which convinced him of the connection.
