This doesn't really count, but... When living in Japan, I came across the expression "karooshi" (to die from overwork -- a common phenomenon at the time). I had never seen it written, but one night in a dream the three kanji came blasting across the ether at me. Upon waking, I looked up the term in the dictionary and the kanji were exactly right. Shaken, I remember thinking, "Man, I've been here waaaaaaaaay too long." Kou
