Love that response – even if from a dream – “no thanks, we don’t indulge”….
Perfect.
I've never had a dream of that sort, at least not that I can recall.

I must be on some national evangelical do not visit list, because when I see
the little groups of salvation sellers come around they knock on all the houses
except mine. I keep waiting, but instead I see them look down at their database
generated no go list and move on. A strange mix of technology in the service of
medievalism.
Charles also had a weird recurring dream for several years about a situation he
has now found himself in, to do with work, which has freaked him out a bit,
although his makes more sense as a "worry dream".
Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence ... isn't it?
Personally I think that you have to add in the fact that you took notice of the
happenstance, so already it was a potential coincidence. By the time it recurs,
it is slightly more than a coincidence. What does it mean? I think not much but
it offers a glimpse into the larger nature of time as rooted in experience
rather than physics.
