1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [195], of ..., Ohio, and the dream this body had on the date which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from same, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions which I ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [195]. This we have had before.
3. The dreams which come to the entity are in that way and manner of presenting conditions that are either in the body-conscious mind and presented to the subconscious for the interpretation or of presenting through the subconscious, in emblematical way and manner, those conditions existent in the body for the interpretation from same. Ready for dream.
4. (Q) "The dream occurred sometime the latter part of March - about 25th, at ..., Ohio, and was as follows: I was on porch of a cabin in the mountains - with another man - heard a shot and looked down the side of a hill and saw a man fall. Another man further up the other side of the draw was standing with a smoking rifle - evidently had shot the fallen man. As I looked, the fallen man got up and started running away from man with gun - as man started shooting again runner kept dodging backward and forward as he ran. When runner was apparently going to get away he was winged and fell down - he got up and faced the man with the gun who shot him - he fell and immediately got up again, facing the gunner - he was shot down many times but always got up and faced the gunner - I noticed that the spent bullets were coming near us and said to the man with me that we had better get behind a post, as we were in line with the fire. Just as I was moving behind a post a bullet hit me in the cheek and fell to the porch - the bullet was flattened out and spent and didn't hurt." (A) In this there is presented, in this emblematical manner, the actions of the individual himself, [195],

regarding conditions existent, as it were, in the life, through the trading in certain conditions or commodities, or through certain ways and manners. While each time there apparently is a loss, or a hurt, or an injury to the man (to the body, [195]), yet each time there is seen that, at first attempting to escape, again when real injured, though shot down often, or though hurt often in this trading, again and again arises to meet the conditions. The real lesson in self is as but the experience that such maneuvers, such operations, would eventually bring those detrimental conditions in self. And the attempt to move out of way, and finding self in line of the spent conditions, is showing, that, though these conditions have arisen, yet there is soon to come into the life that which will offer the opportunity to the entity to recoup, or to gain much of that which has been lost. For, as is seen, these will be presented to this body, to this entity, [195], again through vision. For, as is seen, this represents the subconscious giving, in this emblematical manner, the conditions as have been existent. Now there shall be presented from thought, from knowledge, from taking thought of self, that from the subconscious to the conscious,that of the interpretations of the body conscious thought, as will be presented in sleep or in dream, for the interpretations thereof. When such is presented, then follow in the way and manner as will be given at that time, and through same bring about that which will be beneficial to the body in a mental, moral and financial way and manner.
