I have never seen where the person-with-nightmares was revealed as a donor, or indeed any clue as to who they were other than 'someone Eliezer knows'. I would like some evidence, if there is any.

Also, Eliezer did not drop out of high school; he never attended in the first place, commonly known as 'skipping it', which is more common among "geniuses" (though I dislike that description).
