“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Here is my dream of October 9, that I asked Seth interpret: “Color. I dreamed that I had a cancerous wart or nodule right at the tip of my right thumb, where it bothered me to hold a brush or pencil. Had been there a long time. I believe a doctor told me it was cancer—not very dangerous, could be removed in his office. I had to climb up a long ladder set against a building wall to get to the doctor and even as I talked to him I had to stand below him and look up. He was dominant, round-faced with thick glasses. Wore a white coat, I believe, and peered down at me like an owl.”

There is an old nursery rhyme (pause), that you heard as a child. I cannot get it clearly, something like Tom Tucker with his thumb, and the next line had to do with a plum. (Pause.) This was part of the association leading to the dream. As mentioned, Ruburt’s interpretation was correct. The climbing up was also connected with fruit, as you might climb a tree to pluck it. (Pause.) There were no health connotations to the dream, it did not have that kind of meaning. You recognized your fear when you saw it in the dream as objectified on your thumb, and then you allowed it to disappear.

The doctor, the figure, represented your artistic intuitional creative self, your potential self in those terms, to whom you looked for advice and help. You had to climb up, symbolically, but the ladder you see was one-directional rather than crooked, and this shows that the road is clear.
