WHEN SHE HAS A DREAM SHE CAN VIVIDLY RECALL, SHE GETS
A DREAM BOOK AND FINDS THE CORRESPONDING NUMBERS FOR
THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF THE DREAM. SHE THEN
PLAYS THESE NUMBERS IN THE LOTTERY.

Submitter comment: THE INFORMANT HAS WON IN THE LOTTERY NUMEROUS TIMES AND
ATTRIBUTES HER WINNINGS TO THE DREAMS. SHE SAYS SOMETIMES
WHEN SHE DREAMS OF A DECEASED RELATIVE THEY WILL GIVE HER
THE NUMBERS TO PLAY.
