Source & context
Grace A. Andrews places this dream after waking from the vapor dream and returning to sleep, making it a separate reported episode. Her following qualification reads: “(This dream, like the other, was carefully thought over upon waking, and seemed even more clearly to contain a pure and rich sensation of smell.)” The assessment is the historical author’s own, rather than a verified neurological finding. No calendar date is supplied.
