4. (Q) Night of Friday, 1/7, or morning of Saturday 1/8/27. I had a check for 200 and I went into [900]'s office to get him to invest it for me in some special stock, but [900] and [137] were both out. I looked in my hand and saw that I now had two checks, one for 200 and another for 300. Someone told me [900] would be back in a minute - that [137] had gone after him. The person motioned me towards a great book, saying that I could look through it and see the last year's business they had done. I turned over a sheet, and noticed where some interest had been blotted out. I turned over another sheet, and it seemed to me there was something wrong, but I didn't know what. After waiting a long time, I left. I began to feel that I didn't have that much money in the bank anyway, and I owed the 200 check for my board. I went to the boarding house and showed the checks to the landlady and told her they were for my board, but I didn’t give them to her. I sat down to the table to eat, with the checks still in my hand. I noticed one of them was signed by [5541]. [195] came in and as he passed by he took the checks out of my hand and said: “These are for me.” I agreed, and wondered why I hadn’t given them to him before. He went over and sat down at another table. (A) In this we find there are many of the various phases of the conditions respecting the physical action of the body, that have been viewed through these mental ways and manners. And here is illustrated, in this emblematical way and manner, conditions respecting same.

In that, there has been expected that monies should and would be turned to the use of the entity or body through the efforts of one to whom the entity itself carried money. Yet, as seen, the conditions existent in the business cause this delay, this troubled condition. For, as seen, entries are as errors and many pages stuck, or in a conglomerate mass. Hence this delay.

In the reasoning that this should be preserved for other use, is seen the change in the attitude of the entity, physically, as respecting the conditions. And the boarding house - eating - representing, then, conditions as relating to the physical again in the life of the entity; and that these will have their portion in the changes which come about respecting the change in conditions for the betterment of all concerned.

In seeing that check made to individual, then, relates to other physical conditions as respecting one through whom - and the one taking check being the one who would interest others to bring to the entity good, in the way of contributions to the place for the work to be carried on. See? All plain - all distinct.

The lessons, then, apply in the first. Be not over anxious, for the conditions which present themselves are as that given. In the other, as soon as opportunity presents self, have those conditions set in motion that bring about those contributions amounting to much. See? [Work:E.C.:Cayce Hospital? Prophecy?]

R3. EC’s dreams not interpreted:

1. Saturday Morning, Jan. 15, 1927. It seemed we had started to Florida, but instead landed in London. [900] was to read his book before some big club or something, and we all were going to hear him. We got in peculiar looking vehicles drawn by horses. Miss Gladys and Gertrude were in one of these in front, while the rest of us were behind in another carriage. Presently a little peculiar carriage flew past us, and Gertrude stuck her head out of the carriage in front and said, “That was Mr. [195].” I said I had thought it looked like [195]. We saw that he stopped in front of a hotel, so we decided to stop by and see him. I got out and stood in front of a sort of gate to the hotel, instead of a door, where people registered. I asked for [195] and the door man went to get him. I looked inside and saw a bar, with people standing around drinking. Finally [195] came out, and he was drunk and reeling from one side to the other. He said he wanted to go with us, but I’d have to wait a few minutes until he got in shape, as he hadn’t intended for anyone to see him in this shape, and he couldn’t meet the others looking like this. He went back in and I saw him mix a drink of three colors in a glass, one color standing on top of the other, etc. He drank it, and then straightened up and shook himself and didn’t seem to be drunk at all. Then he came on out and said he would take Gertrude and Miss Gladys in his carriage. So we all started then to hear [900] read his book.

2. I saw a railroad, and a horse and buggy - the horse running away. In the back of the buggy Thomas House and other school boys, it seemed, were scrambling to-gether. The horse stopped right in front of the railroad track all of a sudden, and it threw the boys out. I asked Thomas what was the trouble, and he answered something and started running after the boys. Then I saw Aunt Kate [Smith] and Mama [Mrs. Evans] and Carrie [House] come out and lay down side by side. I tried to get them up, but they each said they were dead or dying. I went inside a car of some kind where Porter and his dead brother, it seemed, were sleeping. I tried to get Porter [Smith] to come and help me get the women to the house or somewhere, but he insisted that I let him alone and wake up the other fellow. There I awoke.

3. Then I was going to Hopkinsville to tell the folks about the above dream I had about them. When I got there they were all sitting in the front yard eating watermelon. I started to tell them, but I saw Miss Carrie knitting away real fast and admonishing everyone to be quiet. Then Aunt Kate came out - at least Gertrude insisted it was Aunt Kate, but I knew it couldn’t be, for she was all black. She came out and sat down.

4. Monday Morning, Jan 17, 1927. “Dream regarding Miss Willie and I going to be married - then railroad trip to Florida - Miss Willie getting on train with two babies - then a wreck. On the night of Dec. 23 or morning of 24, 1926, I had a similar dream. What do these mean?”
