“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.

(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.

(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 do not know why. At least part of the time I was in a brick-walled room partially underground. I think my father was to give me the needle.

(Jane and I think the following material an excellent example of the way Seth interprets dreams, and it is presented in full. Seth doesn’t get all the way through his analysis, but promises to in an early session. However, he told us enough tonight to make me feel much better.

(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.)

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

(Break at 8:55. Jane said she had been dissociated more than usual, especially for a first delivery. She thought Seth might have seen to this in order to keep her from blocking. Her eyes had opened once briefly near the beginning of the session. Her rate of speaking had kept me writing rapidly.
