(It will be remembered that in recent sessions Seth has promised to discuss two dreams which have been on my mind recently. Both of these involved my younger brother Bill, who lives in Rochester, NY with his wife and 3 children.

(Dream # 1; November 19,1965: This was extremely sharp and vivid in detail, and in full color. My younger brother Bill and I were in a very deep mountain valley, with steep rocky brown walls. We were trapped in this valley and knew we might not get out. It was not too large. We were actually in a rickety old house on the valley’s slope, perhaps halfway up. There was a sharp drop-off below us. Part of the time I was looking out of a window, and part of the time I stood on the roof or a porch with Bill, our backs pressed up against the side of the house. The shingled roof slanted down and was covered with a fine snow. We were afraid to move because it was very slippery.

(Dream # 2; December 1,1965: In color, and sharp and vivid and very detailed. My younger brother Bill and I were in swimming. The water was a beautiful light blue-green, almost like bathwater, and was extremely pleasant and comfortable. We were in a stream above a high and rapid waterfall, with the surface of the water about us broken by rocks. I got the idea of going over the waterfall while holding my breath, yet hesitated.

(I later thought of the pillarlike rock as a phallic symbol; and of the warm water and the fetuslike position of my brother as reincarnational information.

Primarily they refer to your own subconscious feelings toward your father. Not only in regard to yourself, but in regard to your younger brother, and to Ruburt. Now this is on one level, and for a few moments we shall speak about the dreams on this level only.

On this level therefore, the three most important of these dreams are related: the two regarding your brother, and the dream that had to do with execution by needle, a painless one, to be carried out by your father.

In the first dream you see your younger brother slipping on an icy roof and falling. You go to his aid; discovering that you can manipulate better than you thought, you jump off the roof only to discover that your brother had also fallen over the edge of the cliff and was hanging on until you could get to him.

The second dream finds you both in water, headed toward a falls. You think of holding your breath and going under, but your younger brother does this before you, and you follow. You are not hurt and you avoid a barrier that is in the water.

Now. All of these dreams have to do with your subconscious feeling that you and your younger brother could go under, mainly in a financial, but also in an emotional way, because of your father.

Now you are afraid in the next dream that you both are in over your heads, so you see yourself and your brother in the water. He is still ahead of you, for he is now up to his neck in debt. You are not but you fear that your family situation, your parent situation, could put you in a like condition.

You then project this, thinking that it would happen to your brother first. So he goes under first, and you follow. You come to the surface because you realize that you would never in actuality let that kind of a situation keep you under for long. You do not see your brother because you are not so sure that such a condition could not keep him under indefinitely.

You would both go under. You thought you could come out all right, but you were not certain of your brother.

You are subconsciously very concerned with your parents’ situation, and also you anticipate financial difficulties because of them. You are also worried about your brother, and all of these have piled up.

The other dream levels had to do with reincarnational material. Your brother is taking too much on as a result of his own impulsive nature, and you recognize that he could indeed go under long before yourself, so to speak, although he is younger.
