You’re told in the Book of Numbers, the 11th chapter and 12th chapter: “Would that there were a prophet among you, for I the Lord God will make myself known unto him in a vision and I will speak with him in a dream.” So we have in the scripture only one source of dream, and that one source is God. All dreams proceed from God. So every dream has a great significance. I am not saying that we are masters in interpreting the meaning of dreams; many of us misinterpret them, but it does have a certain message for us if we can only interpret. For instance, there is a lady in the audience here tonight. May I tell you the lady is Nordic. She is blue eyed. She’s a lady my age. She has been here tonight. And God was speaking to her. She saw a couple who are now dead. They knew her well when they were alive. They were Nordic. He was an engineer. She looked at him and remembered, remembered him well. Then she looked at the wife and it’s not the wife she knew here, much younger, but the wife was Nordic. And then looking back the wife is not the wife; she is Negress. But it seemed so natural. But she was startled by the Negress, and she is still Nordic. Then she looked back at him, he is Negro. Looked back at the girl and she is Nordic. In the same dream, she goes to bed (the lady in the dream), and she finds herself sleeping in a reverse position in the bed. Her head is where formerly her feet would be. The whole dream is trying to show her something in the depths of her soul of a reversal. There’s a great reversal taking place in man where man is being transformed into God; that he’s not reptilizing here forever on this level, he’s being transformed. And all these are reversals—that God is not a white man or a black man or a red man. The form that was the primal form of Jesus Christ—before he emptied himself, and then took upon himself the form of a slave and was born in the likeness of men—it’s that form that man eventually will be raised to wear. And it’s not this form. So she was shown, and this lady, as I say, she is the essence of the Nordic, blue eyes, and undoubtedly when she was young I think her hair must be very blond, I don’t know. I only know her in the years that I have known her here, in the last eight years or so. But she is very, very fair-skinned. And yet, in this it didn’t seem strange to her. She knew the people and the man, who was an engineer, when she saw him, she knew he was the same man, but suddenly he’s not the Nordic, he’s Negro. The girl was not the wife that she knew. She was married, the same girl, and she’s Negro. So what was this fabulous dream trying to tell her? It’s trying to tell her a marvelous story. Don’t be concerned with all the conflicts of the world, that’s not the plot at all. That isn’t God. Just remain faithful to his promise to you… and he’s promised you to give you himself. And he’s not this body. The form that he gave up to take on this is the form one day you will wear, and you will be God. And there is only Jesus Christ in the world. He gave it up, his primal form, and took the limitations of this state, your own wonderful human Imagination, and then was born in your likeness. And tomorrow, he will not be anything you see here. He’ll return to his primal form and the form is God, and you will be like him. So the dream of the night… I could not honestly… I am not an analyst in the sense of trying to analyze dreams. I would like to ask every person who comes to me with a dream, what does the symbolism mean to you? What does this person in your life represent when you knew him here? And so if I could get an honest response from this individual as to what he meant, then I might be able to throw some light on the experience that he had with that person. Because, I don’t know. If it comes to me symbolically, well then, I would try to find help by going to, say, my works, The Lost Language of Symbolism. And try to open up [...] and read with an open mind why did I encounter the rock, why did I encounter the pig, why did I encounter the dove? What is the sense of the meaning of it, for these are simply a universal language. But the other, when I meet individuals that I know well, they may be here or on the other side of the veil; what did they do to me when I knew them as friends or enemies? [...] what’s the significance….743 ¶53
