certain inexplicable coincidences
in the world...

1:14:05
seems to me patently obvious.
1:14:08
Have you ever experienced
any of those coincidences?

1:14:10
Could you tell me about it?
1:14:13
Yes several times...
1:14:15
the oddest being when l was
very young-- nine years old.

1:14:19
l should preface this by saying...
1:14:22
that l've always been fascinated
by dreams...

1:14:25
and the kind of feeling...
1:14:28
that they leave one with.
1:14:31
There's a certain horrible feeling...
1:14:36
tragic sense of loss...
1:14:38
that one can derive only from a dream.
1:14:43
Anyway at this time...
1:14:46
l was about nine years old--
1:14:48
Pardon me.
1:14:50
About nine years old
and l had this peculiar dream...

1:14:54
in which l saw myself covered
with red spots.

1:14:59
The next morning
when l mentioned it to my mother...

1:15:02
she'd had exactly the same dream.
1:15:06
Now at that time
there was no hint of measles...

1:15:09
no epidemic no worry of any kind...
1:15:12
so the dream certainly
couldn't have been affected...

1:15:15
by any external common suggestion.
1:15:20
And yet four days later
l got the measles.

1:15:25
Very interesting.
Tell me continuing...

1:15:28
what do you believe
regarding afterlife?

1:15:33
Well l was brought up
a Presbyterian...

1:15:36
though l stopped being a churchgoer...
1:15:38
at about the age of 1 8.
1:15:43
l've always felt
tremendously strongly...

1:15:47
that...
1:15:49
there is indeed a hereafter...
1:15:53
with which we must all reckon...
1:15:56
in light of which we must
live our lives...
