 +=== IRRITATING THOUGHTS ===
 +</WRAP>
  
 +I SEEMED to find myself on a tall pedestal and vicious dogs were snapping savagely at me, so that every way I turned there was danger of their biting me. Finally one dog got my hand in his mouth, but it did not seem to hurt.
  
 +At once as I turned in my fright I saw a tall, very tall man reach out his arms to me. I just floated into his arms, and he almost seemed to vanish into nothingness and safety. At which point I awakened, and was in a very exhausted state for a short time. People seemed so small and insignificant beside this man, whose appearance I seemed not to recall, only the sensation of safety was there.
 +
 +Do you not realize that only as you cleanse your mind of all harassing, irritating thoughts can you be free from the danger you felt? If you can only keep up on that pedestal you were on in your dream, and pay no attention to the snapping and snarling thoughts around you, knowing that you are Spirit and that none of these things can touch or hurt you, you would soon find in that consciousness you are not only safe in the arms of your Christ Self, but that you are wide open to the glorious blessings that He is waiting to pour out upon you. Think this over and get the full meaning of your dream.

 +=== CHRIST—THE REAL SELF ===
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +I HAD been wondering why I do not see Jesus Christ like others in visions, dreams, etc. Two nights later I dreamed that before me stood a laborer, with a huge empty fruit basket beside him. We talked about the work. I told him that I was working from eight to five, with week ends off. Suddenly his body began to be transmuted before my eyes and then instead of him stood Jesus Christ! In astonishment I exclaimed, “My God—Christ!” Then I woke up. (I believe this was to teach me a lesson that I can see Christ in all men.)
 +
 +You say you do not seem to see Jesus Christ like others in visions and dreams, but if the laborer to whom you were talking turned into Jesus Christ, surely you now know that He only comes whenever He wishes to teach you a great truth. One truth which the empty fruit basket was meant to symbolize your outer self—empty of understanding of the true meaning of Christ. Then Christ came and transmuted your body, when behold—He was the real You. Then you truly said, “My God—Christ.”

 +=== EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCES ===
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +I WAS walking along on the sidewalk, and a very large white horse with a beautiful young girl in white on it was coming directly towards me. No matter which way I turned, I could not get away from it; it was always in front of me blocking the way. Finally I raised my hand a little and the horse took it in his mouth and held it there, but it did not seem to have any teeth. The girl on the horse was drowsy, could hardly hold her eyes open. I said to her, “Don’t go to sleep, you will fall off the horse.” With that I woke up.
 +
 +In your dream the beautiful girl on the white horse was your soul riding on and directing your emotional body. Otherwise why would it always confront you with those emotional disturbances and block your way, whichever way you turned? The fact that you found the horse held your hand in its mouth, but had no teeth and could not hurt you, and the girl on the horse seemed drowsy, but indicated that the horse, symbolizing the emotional forces of your body, was harmless, and that your soul was almost asleep from waiting for your mind’s recognition of this truth; so that you could take your emotions in hand and control them, now that you understand about the horse. Your saying what you did to the girl, evidently woke you up, even as it did your soul.

 +=== WAITING FOR TRIBULATIONS ===
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +IN FRONT of a row of beautiful mansions countless little children were lying on their stomachs, waiting for something to happen. They were veiled in a thin white mist. Back of the mansions was beautiful scenery of mountains. To the right was a large portal, and through it I could see other children lying down in expectancy. I myself stood on a high mountain, white as snow, talking to someone close to me, when suddenly appeared near us great big elephants decorated very colorfully, also horses, with children riding on them.
 +
 +Please interpret this for me. I know it has a meaning.
 +
 +In your vision, the countless children lying on their stomachs waiting for something to happen probably symbolize the children of earth with their eyes and bodies thus bound and held to earthly things waiting for the tribulations to happen that are prophesied, and doing nothing to save themselves, when the mountains are close by to which they can flee.
 +
 +Your being on a high mountain, looking down at them, means that you in your higher consciousness were aware of how foolish it all seemed and that those who were up there knew the truth with you and consequently were able to ride upon and guide the powerful forces of their animal natures, symbolized by the elephants and horses, and therefore were not ruled by the fears and foolish beliefs of those on earth.
