IN THIS Department will be given interpretations of dreams and visions of those needing to know their inner meaning. We reserve for it only those of special interest and helpfulness.

THE OTHER night a dream that was like a vision, so intense and memorable it seemed, came to me. Briefly, it was the time of the end of the world. All around was heavy darkness and terrible fear. People were running frantically to find their loved ones before the very end. Then we all saw a great planet; on it we could see what looked like the continents of North and South America; from what would be the state of California, fire was bursting out in great flames, way out into space. It was awful. We knew when the great wind struck us we would be killed; but this wind of destruction picked me up and carried me away in great joyous swoops, and I am still thrilled at remembering it. After awaking, I wondered how I could have been so forgetful of the rest as to enjoy it so much. Clear down in my heart I believe that was a promise given, for I have been so near the end of my resources—mental, physical and spiritual.

Your dream was indeed a promise that if you would now determinedly and continuously make the finding of the Kingdom first in your heart and life, you would be saved when the end seemingly comes. For, dear friend, when again you grow frantic about everything seems to be lost and the forces playing around you are beyond human control, remember this dream and that there is a loving invisible Power, which if you trust It, will pick you up, as did that wind and lift you unharmed from it all.

Just think, a ghost having a warm body! I was frightened and spent the rest of the night all huddled up under the blankets. I asked God within me to keep them away, and I have not seen any since.

(2) I was going down a basement stairway, holding a child, ready to go out. A few people ran after me, calling me back, saying: “Do not go out, it is raining; think of the child.” I drew the child close to my body to protect it from the rain, and regardless of their warning, I went out. I found myself walking in mud, almost knee deep. It was dark and raining. There were two or three people ahead of me, but I walked rapidly and almost reached them; then I woke up.

(3) As I was gazing in the mirror, concentrating on “I am Spirit, etc.” I began to see faces, reflected in it. I was frightened, but tried once more. Again that fear. Finally I repeated to myself the mental instruction,
