Shared words: press forward

The phrase 'press forward' as a disciple's exhortation occurs in the corpus only in the dream (8:24) and the doctrine (31:20); the sole other corpus occurrence is a battle march — 'the army of Coriantumr did press forward' (Ether 14:12); the dream's travelers press forward clinging to the rod (= word of God, 1 Nephi 11:25) while 31:20 presses forward 'feasting upon the word of Christ'.
