Neville describes waking at 1:30 that same morning, remaining in bed, and dropping into a state where he stood in a world just like this one telling his wife, his brothers, his friends and members of his audience that he could wake and they would cease to be; they did not believe him, he woke on his bed, and he repeated the stopping and starting of that world four times.

Why
He gives the wake time as 1:30, retiring about 8pm the evening before; the stopping/starting was repeated four times roughly two hours after waking.
Reasoning
Neville places the vision 'this morning' relative to the lecture; the lecture's own delivery date is certain at 1967-11-17, so the vision is derived as occurring in the early hours of that same calendar day.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [536663] belong to telling lecture nids [1308]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1967 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1967 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 20 November 1967
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1967 to before 1967-11-20.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1308 (certain delivery 1967-11-20); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1967`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1967-11-20 on nid 1308 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
