“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He interpreted it thusly. It was a statement of fear, and fear’s resolution. Your father was the symbol of yourself. You were afraid that you were doing everything backward—specifically with “Unknown” Reality, and that the affair would be a disaster—or the car would crash.

Mixed into this were feelings about your age, and that you were spending too much time on the project. Instead, you discover the car does not crash—and not only that, but your father is much more vigorous at the end of the dream than he was in the beginning. You still had not quite recovered from your fear, however. Your father was used as the main character, of course, because he is referred to in your notes, because you planned photographs of him in the beginning, and because in the dream he represented the disapproving portions of your own personality.

The dream was meant to do two things: point out the fears that were still present, and to show you that though present, they were groundless. The car, which was the vehicle of expression, would not crash. It was not going backward. The backward motion referred to time, and how much time you felt existed between the book’s dictation and the delivery of Volume 2.
