(The day was much warmer — 30 degrees — at noon. I had no interruptions this morning while working on Dreams — it seemed strange. Jane was okay in 330, already turned on her back when I got there. She did okay in hydro. No one came this morning to take additional blood. The curled-up fingers of her right hand continue to loosen.
(I didn’t see Georgia today. When I got to 330 Jane told me that Karina had been moved to a rest home in Wellsburg, a small community a few miles east of Elmira. I was surprised and in a way sad for her, wondering how she would make out, and what problems the new place would have with her. So for the first time in weeks, we didn’t hear Karina cry out in Russian, or cry for Georgia in English.

He was not just listening, then, to recorded material, but he was himself the recorded information and a recorder upon which the experiences played.

The kitten merely represented wish fulfillment, in that Ruburt does plan to get a kitten as soon as he is home. In the experience the kitten was in the hospital room, and there seemed to be adjoining rooms, as at 458 (the address of the apartment house we’d lived in on W. Water Street). This signified that Ruburt was building up similarities between present and past experience, so that the kitten, appearing in the dream’s present and past also, would indeed appear in the future.
