(Q) "The dream occurred sometime the latter part of March -
about 25th, at ..., Ohio, and was as follows: I was on porch
of a cabin in the mountains - with another man - heard a shot
and looked down the side of a hill and saw a man fall.
Another man further up the other side of the draw was
standing with a smoking rifle - evidently had shot the fallen
man. As I looked, the fallen man got up and started running
away from man with gun - as man started shooting again runner
kept dodging backward and forward as he ran. When runner was
apparently going to get away he was winged and fell down - he
got up and faced the man with the gun who shot him - he fell
and immediately got up again, facing the gunner - he was shot
down many times but always got up and faced the gunner - I
noticed that the spent bullets were coming near us and said
to the man with me that we had better get behind a post, as
we were in line with the fire. Just as I was moving behind a
post a bullet hit me in the cheek and fell to the porch - the
bullet was flattened out and spent and didn't hurt."
(A) In this there is presented, in this emblematical manner,
the actions of the individual himself, [
195], regarding
conditions existent, as it were, in the life, through the
trading in certain conditions or commodities, or through
certain ways and manners. While each time there apparently
is a loss, or a hurt, or an injury to the man (to the body,
[
195]), yet each time there is seen that, at first attempting
to escape, again when real injured, though shot down often,
or though hurt often in this trading, again and again arises
to meet the conditions. The real lesson in self is as but
the experience that such maneuvers, such operations, would
eventually bring those detrimental conditions in self. And
the attempt to move out of way, and finding self in line of
the spent conditions, is showing, that, though these
conditions have arisen, yet there is soon to come into the
life that which will offer the opportunity to the entity to
recoup, or to gain much of that which has been lost. For, as
is seen, these will be presented to this body, to this
entity, [
195], again through vision. For, as is seen, this
represents the subconscious giving, in this emblematical
manner, the conditions as have been existent. Now there
shall be presented from thought, from knowledge, from taking
thought of self, that from the subconscious to the
conscious,that of the interpretations of the body conscious
thought, as will be presented in sleep or in dream, for the
interpretations thereof. When such is presented, then follow
in the way and manner as will be given at that time, and
through same bring about that which will be beneficial to the
body in a mental, moral and financial way and manner.
We are through with this reading.
