TEXT

1. GC: Now you will have before you the bodies and the enquiring minds of EC, present in this room, also of GC, present in this room, and the dreams these bodies had on the dates which I will give you, and you will give the interpretations and lessons that are to be learned from these.
2. EC: Yes, we have had these in part here before.
3. These dreams as come to these individuals are lessons to be applied in their daily lives and are the correlating of the developments of the mind, the body, the soul forces of same, acted upon by the soul forces of subconscious mind in inductive forces and emblematically given to the mind as instructions, see?
4. Ready for dream.
5. (Q) Tuesday morning, 8/04/25, dream had by EC, regarding trip to Hopkinsville, Ky., and stop at Bowling Green, and the boarding house and taking of the dish from the porch as we were leaving.
   (A) This, as we see, is given in part. This represents to the body those conditions as have become physical forces regarding trip. Not in manner or way that has been or was expected, yet to be carried out in a way that would be acceptable to all, though not pleasing to all, see? The taking of the dish, closed, representing the taking of forces into self's own hands rather than of presenting them in their normal manner and way, see? The lessons, then: Though these conditions arise that may bring consternation, we find with even the forces submerged in part, this all becomes as it represented, as acceptable and as worthy to all.
6. (Q) Wednesday Morning, 8/5, regarding bull with funny head, hammer, carpet, etc.
   (A) This, as we see, representing the hardheadedness of individuals, and the hammer as the driving force. Carpet as being that of submerged, or walked upon literally, as given, by either or both, see?
   The lesson then: Rather the patience under tribulations. The trials may come, yet as is seen in the hammer, becoming that way as acceptable and as of the own, see, being the driving force, or the elements of truth being from the individual self in the end, see?
7. (Q) Monday Morning, 8/17/25, regarding train with Gertrude as the engineer, running into the car, feathers flying and the turkeys in the tool box.
   (A) This, as we see, representing to the entity, in emblematical form, conditions as may be expected to come in certain conditions regarding movements, and the final success, and the undertakings, though they may tear many things, many conditions, to pieces, as is seen in feathers flying, the tools and the turkeys representing food and clothing and that to work with. These are all good omens, for the driving force being in the proper way. For as has been given, the counsel of the body should often be heeded, yet not driven, see?
8. (Q) Monday Morning, 8/17, dream had by GC; about being at some strange house and some girl that was going to get married, and Mrs. [106] was interfering. Then [4121], and then it was GC who was going to get married.
   (A) This, as we see, represents many various phases of conditions that are given to the body in emblematical way. These may be seen in conditions about to come to pass, see? Not as literal - these as emblematical, see?
   Interference with filial conditions in home, see? The relations regarding work, interference by someone outside home, see? Those relations as exist between two, see, as is seen in those that represent the various phases of the attempted work and the work accomplished, etc., see?
   The lesson, then, as would be gained from these, as is seen in the end of all well, see? Though the tempests of various natures and characters are brought about, the mind, the mental, the builder (which is mind, see?) being that force that will bring about those elements of peace, security and happiness in every form and manner.
   Abide by those.
9. We are through.
