First one I'd have thought smile

What would be the purpose of the second apostrophe in the second example ?
Reference to being in different dreams or multiples dreams or is the plural of the word enough?
The plural is enough I think Dave (although I am by no means an authority I would have to say !)

Apostrophes are used for word contraction and possessive terms only. They are not used to denote plurality.
