You will give the interpretation and lesson of each of these, as I read same to you, and you will answer any questions which I will ask you regarding any of these.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [538], here. The dreams as come to the body give that of the lessons that, were same applied correctly in the life of the individual, there will come the more perfect understanding, and those pleasures and joys as would be derived in living that life. Ready for dream.

3. (Q) Early morning hours of October 6th and 7th, 1925, at home in ... Dreams regarding gathering of shells from ocean, seeing various kinds of fish, various people, etc. You will recall these dreams and interpret same, and give the lesson that is to be gained from each of these. (A) The dreams - they mingle themselves together, for they are as one, see? The walk by the sea, the sands, the moss, the coral, the shells as are seen in the depths of same, the pearls, the figures, the many various peoples as are seen, both in and out of water, those as are being gathered (pearls and shells) by various people, the islands as are seen, the underground way as seen, see? the passage over same, the house, the buildings; these all, in their various ways and manners.

The interpretation, then, as we see, and lessons as may be gained from same: As the land, sea and sky are the elements of which the physical creations are seen, and instead then of being really Mother Earth, it's Mother Sea, see? In same, then, there comes this: As is seen in the surroundings as are being made by the individual, there comes then into the life the many various phases of life, as are seen, that come from the sea. The shell representing, then, their different forms and manners in which they are presented to the mind of this body, see? and as some are

beautiful, as some are broken, some are disfigured, some are of the various ways and manners; yet that from which they come is of the one source, see? and the lesson then: As these come into the life, in the various ways and manners, use them to build that which becomes as the isle of the sea, with all the beauties that surround same in the earthly sphere, see? That's the lesson, then, to be gained. Use that thou hast in hand to make with same those beautiful in the life, in the home, in the heart of others.
