“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(There follows a copy of my dream of Thursday night, October 21, as taken from my dream notebook: “I dreamed briefly that the first of the two short stories Jane has sold has now been published—The Big Freeze, I believe—and that as a result Jane can now get paid for it.” I hoped Seth would comment on the dream.

(Saturday, October 23, Jane learned that her short story, The Big Freeze, was on the stands, in Dude Magazine. She had not been notified by the magazine that it would be. She is also to be paid on publication, rather than acceptance of the material. The magazine had appeared on the stands Friday, October 22.

You were given the precise title of the dream content; that is, you knew the particular story was called The Big Freeze. It is true that you forgot that the title itself was a part of the dream,yet you did remember enough so that you were sure of the particular story. You knew it was the first, rather than the second.

The sensation of cold was a clue to the title of the story, but one you would not have recognized on a conscious level. There is no reason for you to worry about financial matters. You are hardly in any difficulties here, nor will there be any.

(None of what I saw was very clear. I felt I stood on a long narrow porch or verandah with a railing. On either a double-story motel, or a motel of one story that was raised up higher than usual. I looked over and down at a pool, and felt that beyond this either the ocean or a large body of water was visible. Doors opened off the long narrow porch which extended full length, and I wondered whether Bill and Peggy Gallagher were staying here. I thought their room might have the door near the center of the porch. I had an impression of Peg sitting by the pool, with Bill in it.

Ruburt will have some additional short-story sales in the near future, partly as a result of this story. At least one before the publication of the other story that has already been sold.

(In the 104th session, Seth said that Jane would sell some of the short stories from the group she was working on at the time of the session. The two sales, including the one just published, are from this group; in addition Jane missed out on other sales from the group because various publishers wrote her that although they liked her material, they already had similar ideas in inventory. Jane has now begun work on another group of short stories. Enough time lapses between her short-story work so that it is easy to keep the groups separate. See Volume 3.
