Woman dreams of election, golden stones, and a child
Description
A woman friend sent Neville a three-part dream - leaving a farmhouse when a man tells her she has been chosen, running a field to a mountain top where her gathered stones fuse into golden nuggets, and tending a smiling child in a crib - and he reads it out and interprets it as her call out of this age.

Man repeatedly dreams of escaping a burning car
Description
A man wrote Neville the same dream three times - driving his wife's car off a mountain road with his hair on fire, jumping out and floating down like a snowflake - and on the third occasion he woke inside the dream; Neville interprets it from the platform as a change of state, not a departure from this world.
