   Bill had a dream one night. In the dream, he died on the day after his 61st birthday. Bill told his brother about his dream. His brother said, "It was only a dream." Bill said, "It wasn't just a dream. It was the TRUTH. If you ever have such a dream, you will KNOW that it's the truth." Bill felt free and happy. This dream was the best news of his life. He wouldn't die for almost 21 more years. Before then, no disease 1 or injury would take his life. He decided 2 to travel all over the world the last three years of his life.
