Correspondent's vision of light and a rose
Description
Neville reads a letter from a correspondent (later identified only as Jimmie) describing an experience the man had on a recent Monday night: settling into his chair at home and closing his eyes, he saw a blaze of light resolve into a pool of pulsating golden liquid, which then took the form of an expanding rose filling the space before him until he was called away to dinner. Neville interprets the vision through the Song of Solomon's 'I am a rose of Sharon', reading the rose as a sign of abundance -- not necessarily material wealth, but a deep sense of well-being and peace.

Correspondent's backward-driving dream
Description
Neville reads a letter describing a dream a correspondent had within the past week: he found himself driving down Beverly Boulevard facing backward yet keeping his car perfectly in its lane, ignoring a police car alongside gesturing for him to turn around. Only when he swerved into the wrong lane on La Cienega, having briefly turned to look ahead, did a policeman pull him over -- telling him not to mind where he had been but to look where he was going -- and just as the ticket was about to be handed over, the man woke, drawing from it the lesson that waking saves you money.
