“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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.

(Dream # 3; December 8,1965: Again in color. A long involved dream; believe part of the beginning of it escaped me as I woke up. The dream had to do with the fact that for some reason I was to be executed, by painless injection. [...]

(I believe that my own feeling was one of sadness that I wouldn’t be with her, more than anything else in the dream. [...] I believe the dream ended on this note. At no time in the dream did I actually see my father; I merely knew he was there, and involved.

(Note that the last line above says I saw Jane again in the dream. My own notes say I did not see her again; that is, I did not remember doing so when I awoke and wrote out my account of the dream. I may very well have actually seen Jane twice in the dream.

(Actually, I have had a series of five dreams since October 27,1965, which I believe to be closely related. [...] 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.

[...] I had thought of next Monday’s session as being soon enough at first, but by now the dreams were on my mind enough so that we thought of an unscheduled session. Also, other material in the regular sessions seemed to push the dream material aside.

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.

(My account of the dream doesn’t mention my actually coming to the surface of the water, but does deal with my holding my breath so that I will automatically rise to the surface; I had no doubt in the dream that I would do so. [...]

To some extent also the water symbol of the previous dream represented your mother’s womb, and was a connection to the penis symbol of the next dream. [...]

In the earlier dreams you were certain of your capacity to survive the situation which you feared. In this dream you faced the possibility that you would not survive so easily. [...]
