Dream of Edgar Cayce told on awaking from night's sleep at
the Kahn home, early Thursday morning,
12/02/37.
I was at home in Va. Beach, but there had been a STRONG ROOM
built to the side and in the rear of the front of the house.
In it there were great stacks of tablets, about 11 by 14,
about an inch thick - clay tablets, all written in
hieroglyphics. I especially noted that they were numbered
from one to three in what appeared to be Roman characters but
the rest were something different. There was also a mummie.
All of these had been allowed to be brought back here by an
expedition, that had been sent out by our Association. I
remained with these findings and could hardly be persuaded to
go away even to eat or do anything else but study them.
The members of the Board of the Association were arriving at
the Beach. I saw Mr. Harrison with several men, most of
them scientists or archaeologists; Mr. Parker with several;
Mr. Johnston had only two but they were very dark men and
seemed to be in oriental costume. When Lucille and Dave came
with the others, Lucille had two East Indians with her; one
was very smoothfaced, inclined to be rather fleshy, very
smiling and very pleasant, but wore a turban which was white
and gold; and the other was a very thin, very old man, with
a long white beard, inclined to be stooped, and rather tall
- his turban was black and gold, with seemingly moon stars
or star and crescent, but a very flat turban. Mr. Goetz had
a lot of them but all seemed to be executives of some large
group. Miss Wynne was very busy with a whole lot of people
and was keeping them away from me. Alf Butler seemed to be
acting as a guard, as was Mr. Poole. Florence and Edith
Edmonds were dressed in very old costumes but were sitting
in the room where I was, but seemed to be very quiet - just
meditating. These people who had come to try to interpret
were only let in one at a time, and were allowed to remain
five days - each one. Many houses were built on all the land
close by, little places for people to live in - and people
were coming by the thousands. Then Mr. and Mrs. Zentgraf and
Margret and Lilian came. Apparently it was Mr. Zentgraf who
had headed the expedition to look for these tablets. It was
through Mr. Harrison and Mr. Goetz and their associates that
he had been allowed to bring them back to this country. It
was decided that they would allow Mr. Zentgraf to lecture or
tell the story of how the tablets and the body (mummie) were
found. So a very large building was put up, similar to the
one Mr. Whitehead has at the Beach but a good deal larger -
on the point right above our house. Dave Kahn and Edgar
Evans had charge of the doors letting people in, and they
decided they would charge them to come to the lecture. I
seemed to recognize these things going on about me but still
remained with the tablets and the mummie. On one side to the
East was a table on which the tablets were piled. It was a
stack at least five feet high. The mummie in a very
beautiful casket or sarcophagus was on the West side but
facing the door, but was set up on a stand like a coffin.
Mr. Zentgraf started and the crowds were going in to the
lecture. That's where I woke up.
Then I commenced again. It seems there had been a Reading to
try to interpret the first tablet, that seemed to be the key
that no one had been able to interpret. And there were such
crowds they had been insistent that Hugh Lynn tell the crowd
what had been said. I was alone in this place with the
tablets and the figure, when I realized the figure was
beginning to come to life. The figure had been dark and
apparently painted over; this began to crack off like a
shell, and I saw the upper left side of the face and left
eye break first, and it was perfectly white - very dark hair,
and very blue eyes. Gradually then I began to see - as I
took the top off - that the paint was cracking off all over.
I wondered how it could possibly come to life, as I thought
within myself that all of the organs had been removed when it
was embalmed. But it was very apparent that they had not
been. It gradually kept moving and moving, until there was
something like a convulsion; and the figure sat up. It spoke
but I couldn't understand the language. Apparently, then,
from just under its arms to the knees, as it climbed out of
the box, it was wrapped in very fine linen - and I understood
from its motions that it wanted water; and I gave it a sip of
water. Then it made a motion that I was to throw a quantity
of water upon it. I drew a bucket of water and dashed it
over the whole body; and it became clear, clean looking - and
began to make motions and signs to me until I could
understand what it was saying, or interpret the language, or
it speak in a language I could understand. It asked for
food, and it told me "I must have ground figs, dates, with
corn meal, cooked in it with milk," which I prepared and gave
him - a little bit at the time. I knew that Hugh Lynn was
talking over in the large building, and I told this person
(didn't know whether it was male or female) he must remain
there and I would get someone else. I went out and closed
the door, and walked over to the building - which was not far
away. There appeared to be at least twelve or fourteen
hundred people in the building, and Hugh Lynn was talking.
Everybody seemed to be amazed when I walked in, and Hugh Lynn
was telling of what was in the Reading - which had said we
would only get the interpretation by the figure coming to
life, which everybody knew was impossible as it had been dead
at least fourteen thousand years. And I held up my LEFT
hand, didn't approach the platform very close, and called
Hugh Lynn to come at once, that the figure was alive.
HUNDREDS of the people in the building fainted, others fell
back away from me as Hugh Lynn came down and joined me.
And we walked over to the place. That's where I woke up.
[
12/02/37 During A.M. rdg.
1434-1, a Life Rdg., dream
continued:]
I had remained it seemed for days and days in the strong
room, with no one except this person - whom now I knew to be
a woman. There were cries and demands, and they outside were
apparently unable to keep the throngs back - as there were
literally THOUSANDS of people; newspaper people, cameramen,
people from all over the world had come to get a glimpse,
even, of the person who had come to life after being dead so
long. Finally Gertrude came to the door and insisted on
speaking to me, saying that it was all out of the question
for me to stay in a room alone with a woman - or someone she
didn't know as to whether she was a man or woman, and it
wasn't right. And when I told her it was a woman, she was
all the more determined I was not to stay there alone - for
I now had been there for WEEKS. And I didn't even go out to
eat or anything; ate only this ground figs, ground dates, and
corned meal cooked together with milk - which apparently was
some other kind of milk than cow's milk; neither did I know
from where the supply came. [GD's note:
2/10/38 See recipe
in
275-45, Par. 10-A.] And when I told Gertrude that she
(the person) was translating the tablet, and I was writing it
on a typewriter, she insisted that I should let Miss Gladys
come and do the writing; and I said she couldn't interpret
the tablets if there was anyone else there but me, that she
had assured me she was the favorite daughter of Ra-Ta [2329?]
and that I WAS Ra-Ta. We had about five of the tablets
translated, which were giving a history of the period, and
she insisted she must see every person first who had been in
the Egyptian period as the Life Reading had given - and then
we would talk to picture people and the newspaper people.
12/05/37 P.M. during Ck. Physical rdg.
275-44 EC had
continuation of dream:
I was with this "risen" lady, or one that had come to life,
in this strong room, reading the tablets; and we had come to
where she had said, "I want all of those who feel they were
in Egypt, from what you have given, and we will see how well
the actual record here tallies with their interpretation of
same from what you gave." Outside there were more and more
throngs of people, and as they kept insisting upon entrance,
Hugh Lynn, Miss Gladys and Gertrude, Mr. Poole and Alf, were
having a harder time keeping the people back; and they even
had policemen. And as she saw the policemen pass she asked
if some of them weren't old Egyptians. Dave and Edgar Evans
were making arrangements with reporters and newspaper people
for interviews and making contracts for the moving picture
people, some very high figures, and were very insistent - to
all of those that were standing guard, as it were, at the
door - that we must begin to give interviews and pictures.
This girl or figure couldn't understand why she was unusual.
They began to clamor from the outside that they had not even
examined the casket or sarcophagus, and were questioning Hugh
Lynn and Edith and Florence especially.
That's where I woke up.

3/14/38 Dream of Edgar Cayce, Monday morning:
I was a doctor-surgeon-chemist in Egypt - not Ra-Ta but at
another period, later. I operated on my friend's wife after
she died and saved her unborn baby; I knew she had been my
daughter when I was Ra-Ta, and I was able for that reason to
secure her dead body and cut out the child - a baby girl.
I put it under glass and fed it nourishment (which I brewed
from hay, leaves, etc.) through the umbilical cord and the
viscera which I had cut from the mother and which were still
around the baby - with the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, etc.
of the mother. People were clamoring outside, wanting to mob
me but afraid they would hurt the baby. I knew who the
people were then and who they are now, but couldn't remember
when I woke up. This much of the dream was recalled to me
when looking at a magazine during the day, when I saw the
name Pythagoras - which seemed similar to my name then.
5/01/41 Extract from
2329-3 re. her Egyptian incarnation as
Ra-Ta's daughter:
"...It was this entity, this body, that was visioned in this
present experience by that entity who was the Priest, as
being that channel through which much of the tenets of that
particular period might be made known to people in the
present..."
See [
2329]'s letter of warning to EC in November 1944 - which
he was then too ill to see - re. conserving his strength and

7/15/39 During
1955-1 see EC's experience of feeling himself
losing consciousness - didn't know in which portion of body
he felt it, but it was like he had an adhesive tape on - then
gradually felt it pull loose. He felt the consciousness
being pulled out in that same way.
1/12/40 During
2076-1 EC on awaking said he would know this
girl if he saw her on the street; described her as
fair-haired, red face, big nose - kind of red; sort of
breaking out on face; puffy looking face, around eyes, etc.
1/13/40 Around 3:00 o'clock A.M., EC dreamed: [See
5749-5 on
5/01/34.]
Someone came to me and said, "Do you want to go to a
meeting?" I said, "I don't know, I don't go out very much."
The person said to me, "This is a very unusual meeting, I
think you will enjoy it." I asked, "Who is going to be
there?" He said, "The Master is going to speak."
We went to the meeting, and it was in the most beautiful
place I have ever seen in my life. We entered a dark
hallway, but not a long hall. The light in it was very dark
blue, opalescent, and made our flesh look purple. As I
looked at the people, I realized that all of them had passed
on, - no one was there in the flesh except myself. I didn't
know the person who had asked me to come.
With me and around me were mostly preachers, - Mr. Moody,
Mr. Smith, Mr. Jones, and many of those who had been
ministers in the earth, and ones I had known.
I couldn't see the light, but realized that it came from a
Voice that spoke. No one was sitting. There were no benches
or chairs. Everyone was standing. All were dressed in
robes. It was the Lord speaking, - but He could not be seen.
He said, "Who will go to bring peace again on earth?"
Then Jesus stepped forward, and said: "I will go. It is
time for me to go again into the earth to strengthen my
brethren; not to be born in the earth, though there will
come forth from our friend here (referring to me) a messenger
that will proclaim my day."
Then I woke up.

294-196. [See subsequent
dreams under 294-196.]
