3. Jubilee! talks dreams.

It's not something we'd usually include in the Top 5, but it's an interesting-sounding event nonetheless. Ever wake up from a dream and wonder, "What the heck was that about?" Enter Rebecca E. S. Cleland, who's here to teach a dream-meanings workshop at Jubilee! from 1-3 p.m. Nov. 5. Participants in the workshop will learn how to find the messages hidden in their dreams and use that information to deal with issues and situations in real life. Jubilee! is at 101 Patton Ave. Participants are encouraged to bring a vivid dream of their own and a pad and pen or tablet, etc. More information is available at wisedreams.info; preregister under the "Workshops" tab. Entry fee to decipher your dreams is $25 per person.

4. GO VOTE.

Early voting ends on Nov. 5, and official Election Day is Nov. 8. Polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and you can find your polling place at enr.ncsbe.gov/pollingplace_search.
