(Q) Dream Monday morning,
2/01/26 of climbing the wall, lady
falling, etc. You will recall this dream and give
interpretation and lesson to be learned from same.
[This was the dream, not read by GC in the question but later
EC dictated the dream to GD as he remembered it:
I am walking down a glade with a lady holding my arm. The
lady has on a veil, so I never do see her face. There are
vines, or there is a carpet of vines on the ground, all have
star-shaped white flowers on them. We find all the trees are
trimmed to represent a pyramid, and are evergreens. We come
to a brook with very clear water, beautiful white sand and
pebbles. We step over the brook and start up a little rise,
or hill, and are met by a messenger or figure dressed as
Mercury, wings on feet and shoulders. He addresses us, asks
us to join hands, which we do. Then he lays across our
united hands a cloth of gold. The piece is about six inches
wide and a little more than a yard long. Then we walk on, up
the hill, the messenger having vanished. We come to a road
that is all muddy. As we stand looking at it, the messenger
suddenly appears. He tells us to hold hands together with
the cloth on same, over the road. We do this and the muddy
road dries up. We walk over it and come to a very high
cliff. It seems to be of chalk. We are to climb it. I have
a heavy knife with which I cut niches in rock and begin to
climb, pulling the lady up as I cut niches and climb.
This dream has rarely varied with the years. Sometimes I get
a little higher on the cliff than others, but I have never
seen over the top. Usually I fall.]
(A) In this there is seen the same vision which has been
presented to the entity often, when there were changes coming
into the life. And if studied properly, this, it may be
seen, has been as a warning to the entity of conditions which
were arising. The dream is as this:
There is apparently with the body-physical, Edgar Cayce, a
lady, walking with him in a dale or glen, in which flowers
are profuse on the ground; yet these do not entangle the
feet, but are beautiful to look upon. Walking through this
well trimmed, well kept glade, they approach this stream,
which is, as we see, representing the dividing line. And as
they pass over, start up, there is presented that messenger,
who is shown as the messenger of those new thoughts, ideas or
ideals.
Then, as this band, representing gold cloth, is presented to
them, with the injunction that together all can be
accomplished, alone nothing may be accomplished, there is
seen then the general, gradual ascent to the roadway, the
passing over, with the wall to be scaled.
As the climbing goes up, ever keeping this band together, the
scaling of the wall depends upon the ability to keep or hold
together.
As seen in this present dream, the wall is scaled, and a
vision or vista of that to be gained from that attained is
seen.
Yet, in the ecstasy of approaching the ideal, there is the
cry and the fall by one who has been the companion, and that
necessary for the entity to attain to these heights.
Then, the lesson as seen is as this:
As these changes now come again into the life, and there are
presented the ways and the manners in which the furtherance
of those ideals may be carried out, then beware that the
thought, the intent, the purpose of the entity is not
shadowed by success, fame, glory, or gold. [See 294-62,
Par. R2.]
(Q) Tuesday,
2/02/26. "Dream regarding many individuals.
You will recall this dream, give the interpretation and
lesson to be learned from same."
(A) In this it is seen, there are many individuals who are
in various planes of association of mind, thought and body,
respecting the individual entity. The mother, the sister,
the wife, the friends, and in the various conditions seen;
some going, some coming. Some in the way of wrath with each
other, as to their positions held respecting the labors of
the entity. And the trouble, the consternation that is
caused by this condition brings much trouble in the vision to
the entity.
The lesson, the interpretation, is again that which is seen
presented in a different manner.
There will, with the arising of the PHYSICAL successes, come
those mental depressions through the conditions that are to
appear regarding individuals. The leaving of the mother,
[EC's mother died
10/26/26.], the change of conditions for
the sister, the change of the mind of the wife, the attitude
of others.
Then, being forewarned, be forarmed, keeping the faith in
Him, the Giver of all good and perfect Gifts. For, as is
seen in the work, the necessity of the flesh is weak, the
spirit is often willing. Yet when the Father has need of
thee, and the Master calls, be ever ready and willing to make
that sacrifice, in mind, in body, necessary to gain the
closer association of the One who is the Giver of all good
and perfect gifts.
We are through.
