Now. Let us return to our discussion on action, and tie this in with action as it is seen within dreams. Your own dreams greatly affect the actions that you take within the physical situation, and as you know telepathy operates within dreams.

Your parents definitely let him know that they wanted a new television set, and he quite uncharacteristically told them it was impossible as far as he was concerned. His physical action, his refusal, was based upon a telepathic communication with you, in the dream state, on those evenings when you had the dreams which I interpreted for you.

The telepathic message picked up in dreams under such circumstances will of course be interpreted by the dreaming self in its own way, symbolically, so that the dream actions may not appear to be the same. If it were possible to examine two such allied dream communications however, the connection between them would be very clear.

Our tests must be considered in the light of action, for this is what they are. They involve a more immediate and basic action than physical mobility, and therefore we are concerned with manipulations that are not physical. The associations, personal associations on Ruburt’s part, when they are directly connected to test objects in our envelope tests, represent to some degree a step forward on his part.

I suggest a brief break. I also suggest that during our vacation you take your own time, extra time, for reading. It will also be to your advantage to make a habit of taking a sketch pad with you to parties and so forth; since you are known as an artist, this will not be considered unusual or strange, and your own work will benefit. You will pick up intuitional data concerning various personalities in action, and this will aid you in your painting.
