@Ghanayem1974, you can refer to Splunk Search Tutorial with mock data and step by step instruction for creation of Splunk Dashboard.

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchTutorial/AboutgettingdataintoSplunk

For various Splunk Commands and Examples, you can refer to Splunk Documentation itself which are listed on the left side. http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Search

For starting with creation of dashboards with examples you can refer to Splunk Dashboard Examples App from Splunkbase: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1603/

You should also go through Splunk Search Fundamentals 1 course for learning Splunk https://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAPX9

I'll self promote here. Sorry, not sorry.

Go check out https://gosplunk.com for a repository of queries shared by a bunch of users.

Another site bbosearch has a few queries as well.

In addition to the course
why do not you start with getting data in and do things practically with the help of this beautiful doc:
