1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [538], present in this room, 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 this dream, as I read same to you, telling me if this is the dream referred to in a previous reading.
2. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [538]. This we have had before. The dreams come in those ways, or as experiences for the physical body may rest, the MENTAL body IS rest in itself, when not turmoiled with the vicissitudes of a physical existence. Through the various experiences, then, of the subconscious, or through the various phases OF the activities of the subconscious, lessons come. Many that may be brought back to the consciousness of the physical body. Others that are NOT so active, as to make that impression that the physical consciousness gains. Just as acts of the physical may mar or impress the subconscious or soul to the extent as to leave little by little those building those truths, those conditions IN same that become a part of the intricate forces of the individual. Hence, just as one is to build and gain or give those proper lessons to the subconscious, so gain those lessons FROM that subconscious that will give to the physical consciousness that better understanding. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) November 10th or 11th, 1927. Dream regarding [294] and [257] going on a trip to some city, of me starting or following them, getting on some train then slipping off but holding on to back of train trying to keep up, feeling myself slipping and finally turning loose; then a freight train and crew came along. I explained my whole situation and they said they would help me and get me there ahead of them. My arrival at large hotel, seeing their room prepared - and seemed [288] had arranged something in the room to show which side and bed was [294]'s and which [257]'s. Then hiding and watching their arrival, while they were in lobby saw Mr. [304] come up steps almost out of breath, very

distressed about my disappearance from home, whereupon [294]
and [257] became panicky and I stepped out and everything appeared alright. [294] said we would all go back home next day, but I said I was going then - no one at home and everything would go to pieces. Then was talking to a lady in room about [294] talking to some group. She was dressing and on opening a box for some jewelry showed me numbers of gold pieces of different denominations - many large pieces. (A) This again - while not that vision as would be a determining factor, yet in self is as the lesson as is just explained and given that leads to the better understanding of conditions as presented respecting those of which the entity has been given information as to how, where, when, and in the manner things would come about for that held close or dear in the mind as respecting certain developments. In the manner as is seen, rushing off with an individual brought about as is understood and seen by that as HELD in the mind respecting what had been said about visiting with the individual. As seen, this represents that there should be, as given, PREPARATIONS made, and not rushed off in a manner without these preparations or notifications being given. The slipping off, and the ultimate getting to place ahead of others, indicating that while there seemingly has been a lack of interest, yet the waiting and the slowness will produce even better results than had or would individuals rush ahead when preparation had NOT been made. As indicated by that of rushing in of another that shows that others will come to the assistance and are mindful of conditions when there is felt that there is little or no interest shown. Again, as seen, preparation or visits of preparation necessary, that coins or monies or golds of various denominations may be attained. Yet again will the how and where be presented. Be on the lookout for same. This as leading to the conditions. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) What is the lesson intended for me? (A) That the preparations - just as given! This is open and plain, see?
5. We are through for the present.
