“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Actually, I have had a series of five dreams since October 27,1965, which I believe to be closely related. All of them involved myself in situations of rather drastic physical stress or outright peril. Since the outcome of the dreams left me whole, however, it seemed their symbolic meaning concerned conflicts other than the physical, and I was interested in pinning these down.

(The five dreams occurred on the evenings of October 27, November 19, December 1, December 3, and December 8. Since Seth deals only with dreams of November 19, December 1, and December 8, only these will be presented here from my dream notebook. Seth calls them dreams number 1, 2, and 3. The two dreams not given here are closely similar to the three presented below.

(Then I was looking at Bill, off to my left. He was too close to the edge of the porch roof. I hollered at him to be careful. Even as I did he slipped, landed on his backside, then tumbled over the edge as he scrambled for his balance. I heard him hit the ground with such force that I was very afraid he had broken a limb. I then looked over the edge of the roof, and to my great agitation I saw that Dick had not only fallen off the roof and hit the ground hard, but that now he had slipped over the edge of a steep cliff beside the porch, and was saving himself only by grasping a skinny little shrub that was in the process of loosening in the frozen ground. At the same time, Bill looked up at me and I thought he was smiling; or at least he didn’t appear to be worried.

(When Jane expressed a willingness to hold the session, she sipped a glass of wine while we waited for Seth to appear. I sat beside her on our living room couch, notebook in my lap. We listened to music. Nevertheless the start of the session caught me by surprise. Jane took off her glasses, closed her eyes and began to speak in a quiet voice.)

(I turned off the television set. Jane’s eyes were closed, but were to shortly open briefly; they remained closed for most of the session. Her pace was fairly fast, although she waited until I sat down again before resuming.)

(Her eyes now closed again, Jane wagged a forefinger at me.)

(At break I remarked to Jane that she need not hold a session of regular length this evening. Now that we had a little information, I thought we could wait for more if she didn’t care to continue. She resumed in the same fast manner, her eyes closed, at 9:00.)

(End at 9:20. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes were closed most of the time, her pace quite fast. She said she could have continued, but I thought we had made a good start.)
