FEBRUARY 28, 1966 9 PM MONDAY AS SCHEDULED

(A short unscheduled session took place last night, Sunday, February 27, after our guests, the Gallaghers, had left. It was held in our living room and lasted from 11 PM to about 11:35 PM. I took no notes; this account is written from memory the following day.

(Seth began by discussing a very emotional dream I had on the night of Thursday, February 24, involving what seemed to be the death of my father. I had not asked him to go into the dream yet, but had considered it, as Jane knew. Seth explained how the dream was built around my subconscious fears concerning my father. His interpretation of the dream was detailed, and in the manner of those he dissected in the 216th and 217th sessions. The conclusions were somewhat similar, and contained Seth’s assertions that the death of my father is not imminent, although he is 75. Seth went into one of the basic problems behind the dream, the lack of an easy communication between my father and myself. He said this particular problem is more my father’s fault than mine, and went into some methods concerning how I could begin to bridge this gap.

(There follows the account from my notebook describing my adventure in hearing music while almost asleep: “February 27, Sunday night, actually 12:30 AM: As I lay in bed half asleep I heard very clearly music in chords, played by an electric guitar. The sound was very harmonious, neither too fast or slow, and quite beautiful, almost with an echoing quality. I realized I had been listening to it for some little time, perhaps a minute, before I consciously realized what was happening. I then came awake and described the effect to Jane, who had not yet fallen asleep.”

(“A little later, while in the same state, I heard the music again to a reduced degree, for a few seconds. I then fell asleep. It is interesting that the evening before this experience, Saturday, February 26, Jane and I had an excellent time dancing to a new band at our favorite dancing establishment in town. I believe the guitar music I heard in bed was very much like one of the guitars in the band. I had watched this particular musician often during the evening, admiring his playing. The band plays until 1 AM each evening, when the establishment closes. Since I had my experience at 12:30 AM, when presumably the band would still be playing, did I perhaps tune in on it there?”

(Seth had mentioned this possibility during the unscheduled session of last Sunday, February 27. Jane smiled.)
