1. GC: You will have before you the body of [106], and the dreams this body had in her apartment ..., New York City. The first dream on Tuesday night, March 10th, or early Wednesday morning, March 11th, 1925, was as follows: Shoes hurt her terribly and she took them to shoemaker to be fixed. He slit or prepared something to put in them, when that something seemed to explode and turn into two American flags high up in the air, which she and shoemaker tried to reach, but the flags were to high up. The shoemaker finally got the shoes fixed such that they were comfortable on her feet, when she looked down to note that her fine silk stockings were full of holes. You will give the interpretations of these dreams and the lessons to be gained from same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, and the dreams with their lessons as may be gained from these. In giving this we must first take into consideration the conditions surrounding the mental forces of the body through which these dreams or visions were given. While the body does have the dreams and the relations as are found between the conscious existence of forces in self and that as reached through the subconscious forces of the body, there have been few that the body retains in their entirety, yet portions of same often are brought to the consciousness of the individual.
3. Then, we find the individual, [106], under the present stress of conditions, physically and mentally, brings these, as it were, to the consciousness of self through these existent conditions. And these as we find are emblematical of conditions existent in those surrounding the individual and pertaining to the foundation, as in shoes, for the individual and for those about the body.
4. The seeking to have someone assist in preparing the foundation is that represented in going to someone to seek assistance. With the sudden explosion is indicated the change entirely that is to occur from the manner in which the foundations are to be prepared or made.

5. The flying away of flag is emblematical of the heights of two different ways, yet made the same, as both are of the same nature in flag.
6. The inability to reach same by self, and the help sought, indicates the manner that each shall go above that necessary of help from either.
7. With the preparation of the foundation for use, and the finding of the rents in the apparel, is shown the faulty conditions the entity may obtain in self through the manner of seeking the aid.
8. The lessons then are apparent in the explanation of what this means.
9. In the other had at the later date, on the 12th, we find the writing on paper again is emblematical, and this is only a portion of the vision as seen and felt by the body.
10. This consciousness of this portion brought through indicates again the conditions existent in physical plane, that of self and of self's assistance to others is represented in writing and in preserving at the same time that used. In this we find that the entity may be of assistance, yet holds self in much reserve, as is shown by the erasing of that prepared for some other use. And the entity will find these will give the insight into existent conditions. Then the greater lesson to be learned in these is that the entity should lend strength, assistance, in mental and material forces in seeking the sure foundation for all.
11. We are through for this reading.
