“No, Alice, I do not.”
“Not if they come true?”
“Only a coincidence. If they don't come true are you willing to acknowledge that all are unreliable? Or, if some prove true do you consider them all reliable? You can have either horn of the dilemma.”
“What causes dreams, Aunt Ella?”
“Usually what's on your mind. Your brain doesn't wake up all at once and dreams flit through it until it gets full control.”
“What if a person dreams the same thing three nights in succession?”
“That proves nothing. When my first husband died I dreamed for a month or more that he was still alive and that I must wake him at a certain time because the morning he died he was to take a train at an early hour. You make your own dreams.”
“But supposing you see something in your dreams that you never saw before—that you never knew existed until you viewed it when asleep?”
“What have you been dreaming, Alice?”
“You won't laugh at me?”
