What is your dream? What is your mission? What is your goal? And you do have one. I hope you do have one. I remember Neville saying that several times. I do hope you have a dream, because you see, that’s what we’re told to do: to dream the dream. And it’s supposed to be a dream, not a nightmare.

Neville (as quoted): "I do hope you have a dream"

  • The Friend of Sinners ¶29 (So I awoke, it was a little after three in the morning, and I took my yellow page and I wrote out my vision. Went back to bed and re-dreamed the dream, but this time I was Grandfather.)
  • Counting the Cost ¶35 (Then I woke and wrote the vision down. It was early in the morning, about three or three thirty, so I went back to bed and I re-dreamed the dream.)
  • I Remember When ¶0 (I found myself, in Spirit, in the interior of a stately mansion in New York City. It was the kind of home the great financial giants lived in at the turn of the century. Fully awake and aware, I was visible to the three generations who were present.)
