(Pause.) Your dog dream (of March 31, 1979) also somewhat symbolizes that dilemma: do you go with your head, forcing a conscious decision, or do you go with your instincts, symbolized by the dog’s form? The question itself causes the dilemma of the dream—that is, the separation of the two in your mind, instinct and reason, causes the uneasy confrontation. There is no separation, of course, only a seeming one, for again, the mind’s conscious processes are spontaneous, and the body’s instincts are highly disciplined, so there is no need to vacillate between one side of the question or the other.

The dreams are as Ruburt interpreted them, dealing with your feelings about prominence.
Give us a moment.... In the first (on April 3, 1979), you are with an exotic move star, who would not ordinarily appear in a grocery store or a supermarket (actually a five-and-dime in the dream). She is exotic and foreign, an old friend. You greet her fondly. Ruburt should like this, for the actress stands for your idealized version of Jane, as a star however in a different theater. You are at her side, and the supermarket stands for the marketplace.
In the second dream (on April 4, 1979), Bill Macdonnel, whom you do not consider an excellent artist, reflects your own sometimes confused feelings about what might have happened had you devoted your work primarily and exclusively to art, or played the artist, as Bill does. The work, however, would not have been right for you, but upside down in a fashion, because with your knowledge before, say, our sessions, your particular blend of psychic abilities and writing abilities would not have developed; your painting would have lacked, in a way that would be quite noticeable to you. In the dream you realize that your way is better.

(She remembered Seth talking about my own hassles, and the dreams. She felt much better now. I felt good too, about getting the personal information. In a more penetrating way, Seth enlarged upon some of the pendulum information I’d picked up.)
