Hugh's dreaming of future fire with streetwalker from the past? Chapter 20,
TT.
Somewhat related to it are dreams on threshold of death. Like Pilgrim's
dream from The Aurelian. This can be described as departing dream of a
living to himself.
As far as dreams go they are present in most of what Nabokov wrote. Art as a
form of dream - La Venziana?
A wider topic would be 'Received dreams'.

Dear Don &/or Alexey,
I checked the Boyd biography for "J W Dunne" and there it was - - the
experiment Don referred to. But it had nothing to do with the dead
communicating with the living as I expected. VN wanted to test Dunne's
theory that time moves backwards and forwards & in dreams we sometimes see
the future.
What has this to do with my query regarding the dead "sending dreams" to the
living? I would appreciate it if either of you or anyone else could give me
an example of this kind of thing in VN's fiction (aside from "The Vane
Sisters").
Carolyn
