“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This surprised me. Seth here referred to two rather brief but vivid and colorful dreams I had written down just before tonight’s session began. Jane came back to the studio just as I finished. I told her I was noting a couple of dreams down, but did not describe them to her since time was getting short.

The colors have to do with quickening intensity of an inner nature. The quickening intensity could seem to involve a chase or pursuit. You are close to achieving a goal, having to do with your work.

(Dream # 1; Monday night, October 18: In color. I was showing a young man in his early twenties some things about drawing. He was blonde, a man I did not know. Deep voice, straight hair, white shirt sleeves. He had a drawing board to which he had fastened a sheet of rough watercolor paper, and carried this around with him. I saw that he had covered the paper with fine-line figure drawings and portraits, in pencil and pen. This is an unusual way to work on watercolor paper. Good drawings, and I still remember one profile head in line, quite clearly.

(Dream # 2; Tuesday night, October 19: In very bright and vivid color. Had to do with our Ford station wagon, which is blue. In a big old garage with Jane, I was ready to drive the car away, but then seemed to look up at it on a hoist. I saw that the radiator was pulled away from the rest of the motor, that hoses and other connections dangled, and that the oil and water had drained away. I realized the car hadn’t been used in a long time.

(Then I saw that the car sat on a steep grassy bank, beside a river I believe, and that another old jalopy had somehow been moved in front of our car so that we couldn’t move it. The bank was covered with brightly colored high grass and weeds. Jane and I tried to walk along a path toward the car. The path was worn down to the bare earth. We were barefoot, and now I saw that the path was littered with pieces of broken glass. I think I backed up, telling Jane something to the effect that we had already gone too far. Neither of us were cut or injured.

(At break I did not tell Jane anything about the contents of either dream. I thought that what Seth had said so far was related to the dreams in most cases, without being very specific, and was especially interested in his remarks about the intensity of color; this is true of the second dream especially. I also thought the material on my being close to achieving a goal good, in that I have had definite feelings along this line lately. Nor had I said anything to Jane about this; it is my habit to see how things work out instead of making predictions.
