1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [538], of ..., Virginia, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from same, as I read same to you, and will answer any questions I might ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [538]. This we have had before. The dreams which come to the entity are as but experiences of the subconscious forces, weighed with that of the body-mind, in its attempt to give the forces in same that experience necessary for the better understanding and development of the consciousness of the individual. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Wednesday morning, January 6, 1926. "Dreamed [294] and I were in ..., Kentucky. He was at his mother's and I was at my mother's. It was either late in the evening or at night. I received a long special delivery letter from Mr. [953], also a day letter telegram, both addressed to ME. Don't know now why they were sent to me, but I knew [294] would call up to find out what they were about and as I had misplaced my glasses, I got Joe to read them to me. In the letter one sentence stood out: 'We will get a well yet.' Before I had finished, the telephone started ringing, and I knew it was [294] calling to find out what Mr. [953] had to say." (A) In this there are presented many various conditions in the mind of the entity for its consideration. For as is seen, the subconscious forces have weighed, reasoned, as it were, those conditions which pass through the physical conscious mind for, or seeking for, an understanding of those conditions presented to the mind from time to time. And in this emblematical form there is presented an experience showing how these may be better understood.
The homes we find representing the various stations in the thought and action of individuals. The message, we find, representing then the lessons, the truths, which are addressed, as it were, to the one, for an understanding to

another, for the various positions in each, see? or representing the change which comes to the individuals in the different spheres of understanding.
The message is made, then, direct, in two distinct special manners, regarding that which is nearest, dearest, or closest in the mind of the entity, coming in a way and manner that imparts to the mind of the entity the excess, as it were, of haste, or of the urgency of information that is given, or that is desired to be known by the entity itself, and concerning that which is as the principle of the thing most important, physically, to the body of the entity. The inability to see same, the misplacement of that necessary to be able to itself comprehend, we find representing the position in which self often places self that prevents the self understanding; through stubbornness, through different conditions presented from time to time. For under each different concept there may be presented a different way and manner that self hinders self, and it becomes then necessary to gain knowledge of same through another medium. And often that medium is slow to give the necessary information in time to use, as it were, as the individual seeks and desires to do.
Then the lesson: Apply this in the life, that same may make self more amenable to those conditions found as wanton or neglected in the life of self, and apply the truths, that the entity, itself, may be ready and willing ever to answer for the faith that lies within self, and be able to answer to each and everyone, that which is necessary for the needs of the hour and time.
Physically, this then presents that this condition is to arise wherein that this desire is to be granted, and this lesson as given, as preparation then of self, that self may know how to apply self to same that good may come from all.
