    Reasoning The imaginal act's own witness text carries no year, but the lecture's processing notes identify this passage as part of a wider narrative spanning 543687-543707 that they label 'the 1933 Barbados story'; the passage itself also places the letter granting the voyage as arriving three days later 'because we're all expecting you for Christmas', consistent with a year-end 1933 setting. Written as circa rather than exact since no date is quoted verbatim within this witness span itself.

  • Eternal States ¶22 (So I had a dream. I didn’t go to sleep and lose my dream. I had to stand right where I was and have a dream, a waking dream, and hear the sound of the coconut leaves on top of my mother’s home, and actually hear it.)
