The nonphysical symptoms will also appear in various guises, often symbolically within the dream state long before any physical symptoms appear. Behind any kind of symptom, regardless of its nature, or the specific problem, there is usually a blocking off of spontaneity that is caused by fear. Either the individual no longer trusts the purpose toward which his energy is being expended, or perhaps worse, he feels that there is no reason, or that he has no purpose, and does not know in which direction to turn his energy.

Now his contract (for the dream book) is assured, and tell him I said so.

He has actually been trying too hard on the dream book—his mental set. The spontaneous attitude of a joyful endeavor will release him here. His attitude has been “I have to start my dream book.” Tell him that his dream book will start itself if he leaves himself alone. The attitude has impeded his dream experiences also.

He is to forget thinking of the dream book as something he must do. It will come from him naturally. He has been using the idea of the contract as a club, and this is why he has been so sensitive about it. The contract is his as naturally as the book is his.

I intend to speak with our beloved and sometimes knuckle-headed friend this evening in the dream state, and make some points that I have not made this evening. It will serve him well, and we will not need session time to do it. (Loud.)
