Neville meets the deceased Jack in a vision

Some months after Jack's death Neville found himself consciously in the world where Jack now is, met both Jack and his sister-in-law Alice there, and told Jack he was dead and that he had paid for and attended his funeral - a state he says he can enter at will by lying on a bed.

  1. between January 1949 and February 1949 bound · probable · preferred
    Source The Dweller on the Threshold ¶18passage 542054 (nid 1532): 'when I met him six months later... This is now either late January or February of the following year'; anchor: Jack died August 1948, corroborated at hist_event:1401 / passage 536679 ('died quite suddenly in the year 1948').
    Why Neville's own text gives the two-month range and the uncertainty; not narrowed further.
    Reasoning Neville gives the vision as six months after Jack's death, and states directly he is unsure whether it was late January or February of the following year. Jack's death is independently corroborated to August 1948, putting the vision in Jan/Feb 1949 -- consistent with his own six-months estimate. This is the happening date of the vision, not the 1971 telling date.
  2. No date relative
    Source Imagination Plus Faith ¶54
    Reasoning Neville explicitly says the vision occurred six months after Jack died. Since the packet gives no calendar date for Jack's death, the exact six-month relation is retained without resolving it to a year or month.

    Why M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 031)
    Reasoning Passage 544281: the vision was six months after Jack died; Jack's death is August 1948 (8779; passage 542054 'died last August'), and in the other telling he places it late January or February of the following year.

  1. 14 June 1971 stated
    Source The Dweller on the Thresholddelivery claims on lecture nid 1532: catalog #661 and an independent chrome-scraped dateline '6/14/1971', both agreeing 1971-06-14.
    Reasoning The lecture whose passage carries this telling is dated 1971-06-14 by two independently sourced certain delivery claims.
  2. 19 July 1971 estimated
    Source Imagination Plus Faith
    Reasoning Neville recounts the vision in node 1783, whose recovered 7/19/1971 dateline exactly matches the independent catalogue claim. || v1.1 type repair: written as `stated` by run v1.1/l4/actor456/7500-7999-b1, retyped `estimated` — the claim cites node 1783, not a passage, so it is this lane's inference rather than something Neville said in so many words (#2117).
  3. after 20 July 1969 estimated
    Source I Am Reality Called Imaginationdelivery claim d0 on lecture nid 3955 (I Am Reality Called Imagination), 1969-07-20 bound/after/certain, from the moon landing described as an accomplished fact
    Why 'The next year... around January or February' is relative to Jack's death, not to the telling, and this event's own packet does not establish Jack's death year, so no field_date improvement is made here.
    Reasoning Passage 556137 is Neville recounting, in Q&A, his conscious visit to Jack and Alice in the world of the dead. The lecture's only delivery claim is a certain floor ('after 20 July 1969'); the telling date inherits that same bound and confidence.
