Time of Reading 2:00 P. M. Dayton Savings Time. New York City.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [136] of New York City, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson of these, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions which I shall ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body and the enquiring mind, [136]. This we have had here before. The dreams as we see come to the entity in those forms of the physical, of the spiritual, of the subconscious, and when studied aright may give the understanding, that the entity may gain the more perfect knowledge concerning manifested forces of that creative force in a physical world. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) October 27, 1925, at home. "Dreamed my husband's cold was worse." (A) This is of the physical, and with the mental forces as apply to the subconscious, gives that then of the physical uneasiness as concerning same. This, then, is referring to the physical condition of the entity and there has been given that which should be used for same to bring about the more normal condition for the body.
4. (Q) "I seemed to be going some place through the woods. Once on such an errand an old lady asked me to show her the way, which I gladly did. Then another time I was going through the woods to some destination with [137], [140], [900] and many others. It seemed we had to prepare dinner and I said: 'Give them much water, so they get filled up and eat less.' Then someone went to a long cabinet with a mirror and opened it. We all grew frightened for it seemed to be a skeleton she was taking out. We ran away panic-stricken, but on turning around found it really was a loaf of bread she took out and was holding it up for us all to see." (A) This as we see, emblematically, presents to the mind of the body those studies in the psychological forces as are being presented to the entity, as is seen in these manners:
136-16 Page 2
The way through wood representing that maze as is presented to the mind, when the first indications of conditions are presented to same. The showing of the way to some, giving that expression as of how the entity through mental forces (MENTAL) has gained that insight and which, by the correct use of same, may be beneficial to many. Again we see the wandering through the woods with many held close to the mental forces of the body, the seeing of the skeleton, or that as is to be prepared for food turning into that, presenting then that condition of mind as pertaining to the variations in the mental forces of entity, which when viewed aright and proper, as is seen, becomes the staff of life, or that food with which entity may develop, morally, mentally, spiritually, financially. Best then accept same.
5. (Q) "Dreamed that I could never have a child - that none would ever come to me - that I would never give birth." (A) This again is a mental condition that is being carried through the entity's forces, and presents only that of mental, for with the application of self in that manner of the law, as has been set by the entity's study and knowledge of same, through same would the physical condition be acquired and brought about. Hence the lesson that is necessary for the preparations for such a condition - Motherhood, and as this is held the highest service to the Maker, and to the one held dear in earth plane, so is that spiritual development necessary that the entity gain that with which to give to that body, that will depend upon this body, physical, that training mentally and spiritually to gain and give the best in the physical world. This will occur. Child will be born. Necessary that these be carried out, however, as pertaining to the law concerning such; that is, of that as given by the lawgiver on the mount.
6. (Q) Thursday morning, October 29, 1925, at home. "All of us, Ma - her friends, [900] and others were back in New Orleans, way back in old days when we lived down town. We were preparing to go back to Deal Beach for the summer. Mrs. [4855], my mother's friend, said she wouldn't go, but was going home to White Plains. Mrs. [...], another friend, said she would go back to Deal with us. We all got into automobiles and started. Then Ma got angry and irritable with me as she was this past summer. Was very unpleasant." (A) This is the presentation to the mental forces, through that correlation of the subconscious, of conditions that may be expected, through the relation of the mother and of friends in the old home, becoming irritated and worried at some condition, attitude or position, that will be assumed by this entity. Being forewarned, be prepared. [See 137-20

and 136-18 Reports.]
7. (Q) "Saw five chrysanthemums on the grave of [900]'s father." (A) In five weeks, then, there will be presented to [900] that lesson from the father that will bring the greatest joys to the life, for in same there will come the perfect understanding of that being sought concerning the first laws pertaining to the conditions and experience exercised in the fourth dimension plane.
8. (Q) [by 900] Now here was an object lesson to [900] just as is Edgar Cayce in psychic state. [136] had been talking to [900], lying next to him, and dozed for just a flash of a second, during which she had the above given dream and spoke as she had it, saying: 'Where did you get those flowers?' and immediately on the second said: 'Why, I was dreaming - just for the flash of a second!' Now the subconscious must have governed the speech 'Where did you get those flowers' - that is, have caused the physical mind to control the voice to speak these words - then the physical again in control and subconscious subjugated, indicated a concept of that which was really taking place in terming it a dream. Is this so? (A) This is in that same connection as has been given, that all pertains to that ability to gain from the subconscious those projections, and as is seen here, manifested before the mind of [900]. Correct.
9. (Q) Friday, October 30, at home. Voice: "Do not change tooth pastes. It isn't good for you." (A) Purely the mental forces of entity rebelling against the inner forces of self, regarding physical conditions of body, and being correlated with the mental projects same through the super-mental forces or body consciousness of entity. Not a dream, not a vision - a super-mental consciousness, and as is seen, magnified in the entity's mind until the action of same would act as conditions, or mind over matter, for to the entity itself would become detrimental, yet conditions will arise, may arise, in which it would be necessary to make the change.
10. (Q) [by [900]] "Then [900] heard [136] speak as follows: [136]: 'That is what you think, isn't it, [900]?' [900] (awake): 'Think what?' [136]: 'We shouldn't change tooth pastes. Not good.' [900]: What are talking about?' [136] awakening: 'Oh, I just dreamed about - (tells of the voice).'" (A) This, as we see, is the projection of those mental forces as are given, and are in that border force of the subconscious taking control, yet in this we find the mental superseding and over-shadowing - yet this in this entity may be developed to that degree wherein the subconscious,
136-16 Page 4
through the speaking faculties of the entity, may be able to give that information that would be well for self and for those near and dear to the entity.
11. We are through for the present.
