A perfect tale, dampened only by that sorry excuse "...in a dream", which is often used as an apology to Newtonian space-time guards.

Your grandmother has the perfect right of it, and I applaud her for being bold and graceful enough to break through. I am reminded that even relativity had a long uphill fight before the great minds of physics at the time would accept it, and some, like Poincare, never could quite let go of the notion of a reassuring box of space and time letting all viewpoints measure in common. That adhesion, or appetite for commonality, is one of the trickiest hexes in Pandora's box.
