INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS. Preceding the first dream entry in my dream journal were notes about the plane crash dream followed by the following: Is my love of God, my wish to help others, my wish to exist in love, my wish to “shepherd sheep” focussed in Sally and Alice? If so, are Sally and Alice a path to be followed or have I to find expression of this ideal in service to my fellow man in general? If the latter, how on Earth do I do it?!!!

[Looking at this today (16.04.10.) what is evident is the spiritual progress I have made in the understanding of the Reality of “God”, “love” and “service”. Also, the repeated appearance of my friend Sally, with at times, her partner and later husband, Tim caused me to seek the help of a psychic about what I came to term “The Sally factor” and the result of this help is given below. (Alice is Sally’s daughter and Sally was a workmate c.

1988).

Later, in October 1995, I asked a psychic for an explanation of the, till then, often repeated presence in my dreams of a one time friend. For simplification we called her The S Factor”. The psychic did an I Ching reading that read as follows: It is like a fire that comes from the depths, and blazes up, illuminating and beautifying the mountain.

Consider the substance that lies beneath the surface. Appearance counts for little in this. If there is any S Factor that requires addressing it is to advance your own creative energy.

Because you are in harmony with your Higher Self - which could be viewed as the “S Factor”, she being as an ideal or an idea - it is in your better interests/higher work to be forthcoming into the public arena.

The “S Factor” is that of the chanelling through the wisdom of the inner self - which is Yin, the feminine, through to the outer, thus being as the fire on the mountain.

[The psychic explained, ‘The fire of the molten lava is coming up from inside the mountain and being deposited on the outside.’]

Not until the writing of the book The Milk Is White in early 1996 did I make the connection with these readings.

Tags: I Ching; Meditation: My meditation is absolute but, at times, it induces spontaneous insight or neoption.

These experiences are posted in this journal because they are similar in origin to dreams.

The Holyrood theme: Over a period of about sixteen years I had a series of dreams the main theme of which was a tea plantation called Holyrood and the dreams seemed to chart my spiritual progress over this period. The following is the background to this subject.

I used to manage tea and rubber plantations in Sri Lanka [then Ceylon], firstly as an Assistant Manager and later as a Manager, for a Company based in London. Holyrood was the name of the most prestigious of the Company's plantations and the executive staff aspired to the position of Manager of Holyrood as the epitome of success.

Holyrood was composed of three divisions; East Holyrood plus a small division, run by the manager through non-executive staff, and West Holyrood, run by the Assistant Manager. At one time, fairly early in my career, I was on West Holyrood. For various reasons, West was well run, had a high standard of work and a good workforce. East, on the other hand, was very badly run had a shocking standard of work and a workforce that was undisciplined and murderous.

Although there were a few dreams about West, and these were benign, the majority were about East and focused on the poor standard of work and its poor quality generally. It seemed to me that it was necessary to bring the standard of East Holyrood up to that of West Holyrood and that that was what the dreams were charting - in other words that was my mission* and my mission was being charted by the series of dreams. After some years I started being told by letter or verbally by the Board of Directors in London, the Chairman, or Directors that I was to be, or was being promoted to the position of, manager of Holyrood. In dreams I was often actually moving in or refurbishing the manager's house - things like that. Other dreams with a similar theme took place, but most lacked the sense of fulfillment of the Holyrood ones.

Another plantation that figured less prominently was Dewalakande which, significantly, also has a spiritual meaning; it means Temple Mountain. The name Holyrood is made up of Holy + rood which is the cross in the wooden screen/s to be found in churches.

Anyway, towards the end of the sixteen years I was getting rather excited by developments and at the end of the year 2001 I had a dream wherein all that appeared, in very large, 'electric' letters were HOLYROOD 2002!

Nothing spectacular, or even noteworthy, happened in 2002 but by then I had finalised the format of The Milk Is White and The "Quo Vadis?" File and my writing was reduced to a trickle.

Tags; holyrood; * About 6 weeks after writing these comments the thought surfaced that the Holyrood theme could just as easily be symbolic of my spiritual progress rather than my “mission”. Hence, the first five theme tags could relate to me, directly or indirectly, or to the spiritual growth of the individual and/or collective psyche.

DREAMS The Crofter’s Cottage.

Date: c.1987.

Preamble: Dream: I was looking at a crofter's cottage. It was a cold, damp night in England, the cottage, set low, was almost without lights and it looked and felt as if it was a place of poverty, misery and despair. I 'knew' that I was the squire and, although I could not see myself, I was aware that I was wearing the typical tweed jacket and corresponding clothing of the squire. I 'knew' that the condition of these people was my doing and I felt very bad about this, both during the dream and for a few months afterwards. Each time I thought of the dream I envisaged those poor people and felt extreme contrition.

Then, some time later I had the same dream again. I was in the same place in the dream - everything was exactly the same except that light was streaming out of the cottage windows and it looked and felt like a place of warmth and happiness. It was a very pleasant feeling.

Colour: Yes. Feeling after dream: Good.

Interpretation: In retrospect it seems possible that there may be another interpretation to this dream; one where features were symbolic, but at the time [and that is of primary significance in dream interpretation] I felt that I was there, in England, and seeing an aspect of my then life. Hence, I see this as a dream in which I was reminded of past actions and attitudes and had the chance to rectify things - at least in my thoughts. This may also mean the expiation of the karma I created as squire.

Note: It is worth remembering that the crofter and his family were experiencing karma and that in this case I was the 'instrument' [as much as the hangman is the 'instrument' in a hanging - provided that he does not take pleasure in the act]. If I was the 'instrument' it would mean that I had got some pleasure out of doing what I came to do and, hence, had to feel contrition or be given the chance to do so!

I have always, as Ian, had English traits and tendencies which some may feel like attributing to my English mother. However, this would be a facile attribution as these traits and tendencies were not pronounced in my brother or sister and, in any case, in spiritual terms, one’s traits and tendencies are more influenced by past life experience than any other factors.

Tags: crofter;

☛ Two barbecues.

Date: c.September 1988.

Time: Night, presumably last thing before waking.

Preamble: Sally was a very attractive, humorous work mate with whom I got on extremely well and we became very good friends. I was the only one in our office and factory whom she had invited to her home. I often gave a lift to and from work and we always met at lunchtime. Very soon I was very much in love with her but kept quiet about it because she had a partner, Tim. Dream: There were two barbecues separated by a couple of inches and food was cooking on both. Then, standing in the background straight ahead was a man dressed in a long, brown coat and wearing a black, wide brimmed hat.

I heard the message, ‘Let it cook slowly!’

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Nothing special.

Feeling after dream: Nothing special apart from the usual curiosity Tag: black; hat; coat; predictive;

Interpretation: I felt that there was a man with “problems of the mind” - a troubled man, but did not know what to make of the message.

When I got to the office that morning Nikki, Sally’s other close friend, told me that Sally was not coming in to work as she and Tim had had a row the previous night. As it happened, she came to work the next day and we discovered that she and Tim had separated. I was aware that they were having a few differences of opinion over financial priorities partly due to his reluctance to get rid of two horses whose upkeep was eating into there earnings.

So, here was the man in the black hat - having trouble letting go of his horses so that his family could have more financial stability. Months later I looked up “brown overcoat” in the Cayce Readings on dreams and found the answer there to be a break up of a relationship!

In no time at all I realised that the message to me was, in general, that there was something cooking, that was in two stages (the two adjacent barbecues) and that I must, ‘Let it cook slowly!’ - or takes its time.

Note on 08.10.95: Whilst at the sink, after lighting my essence lamp as a pooja, the following interpretation occurred to me. It is the only one which ties in with all other “information” received to date, including that in the Tarot readings of 15.10.95.

A breakup is caused by a man’s emotions or thinking. There is, or starts, something cooking in which there is a break and a restart and this relates to me. Hence, the message to me of ‘Let it cook slowly’.

Result: Not long after this Sally asked me to come and live with her and, without any hesitation, I agreed. This unhesitating agreement was partly due to my almost daily “prayer” referring to the general conduct of my life, ‘If I can help, show me how!’

However, bearing in mind the message ‘Let it cook slowly!’ I did not celebrate with her or change our relationship. She took a month off work to be with her mother who came from interstate to stay with her and I did not push to see her although she told me that I had to come and meet her mother. This did not happen and within a few weeks of her return to work she and Tim reconciled their differences and were united again. I felt both a sense of loss at the loss of what life had promised but a sense of gain because of the dream.

Tag: sf; predictive;

☛ Friend in danger.

Date: c.March 1989.

Time: ?

Preamble: Dream: Sally was in a very large, black sedan being driven by Tim from right to left on the “screen”. She was in the back seat with her young daughter held protectively close to her chest and with a fearful look on her face. They were towing a fairly large trailer on which, lying flat on old corrugated iron sheets, was a huge hogs-hair dart board.

Colour: Yes Feeling during dream: Nothing special.

Feeling after dream: Nothing special, apart from some concern.

Interpretation: It was obvious to me that Sally was threatened in some way in the present or future but I had lost contact with her and Tim. As for the dartboard, to this day I have not been able to make head or tails of its symbolism, but I have always felt that there was danger from the sharp edges of the corrugated iron sheets lying on the trailer as they were.

Result: A month or two later Nikki phoned me to invite me to her 21st birthday party and told me that Sally and Tim were coming, that they were leaving soon for the state of Queensland and that Sally had almost been assaulted by her estranged husband (the father of her daughter, Alice) in a supermarket not long before.

Tag: black; vehicle; predictive;

☛ Eden.

Date: c.1982 Time: Unknown, but safe to assume just before awakening.

Preamble: Eden is a town on the south east coast of Australia and at the time of the dream I was living in Melbourne which is on the south coast.

Dream: I was on a high, mountain ridge walking from left to right when I met an old farmer. I asked him the way to Eden and he pointed to what I instinctively knew was the East.

Colour: Normal.

Feeling during dream: Normal.

Feeling after dream: I had a bit of a chuckle and said to myself, because I was jobless and broke at the time, ‘I do not have the money to go and see Mum in Bendigo* so how do I go to Eden?’ * Some 200 km away and Eden some 1000 km away.

Interpretation: Due to the high elevation of the place where the dream was sited and the symbolism of Eden it seemed to me that the message was about a place of spiritual significance to me to which I was going.

NB. At this time I was not fully committed to dreams and dream analysis.

Result (Entry dated 06.05.10): 1. Search for entry > Date: 07.10.90.

2. In 1995 I moved from my daughter’s to Maleny, a township on a plateau some 384m above sea level and the surrounding countryside; a beautiful area with a distinct spiritual feel to it. It is here that I have lived since and it is here that I have written what I have.

Tag: high; eden; predictive; Climbing the Gelatin Mountain.

Date: Not known but likely to be between 1986 and 1990.

Time: Preamble: This is a dream I had around the time, I feel, that I was in the early stages of tackling my mountain.

Dream: I was climbing a vertical cliff face, like the face of a steep escarpment, and finding it difficult. This was mainly because the cliff was composed of a rose-pink substance like, even possibly, gelatin crystals. It was soft and kept on crumbling under my foot and finger holds. This was a nuisance but I was not overly frustrated. Suddenly, two brown skinned men, barefoot and dressed only in loin cloths, went past close to me without any effort at all, smiling broadly at me as they went by. In a second or two they had reached the top and gone over. I followed without much difficulty immediately after.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: I cannot give a definitive interpretation of the dream partly because it occurred about twenty years ago and partly because I have never got any particular insight into this dream. What is obvious is that I was having some difficulty and two men, of eastern origin, nimbly surmounted the obstacle at the point where I was. The fact that they were very lightly clad could have signified that they were carrying no 'baggage' and their smiling that it was a happy or joyous task. Thus this seems to have been a dream of encouragement.

Rose-pink = Love, joy, happiness. [According to the Cayce Readings].

Tags: encouragement;

☛ Plane crash.

Date: c. 1989/90 - perhaps earlier.

Time: Not known, but safe to assume just before awakening Preamble: None Dream: I am flying a plane and coming in to land when I hit some power lines and make a crash landing. I am not hurt.

At close quarters I see some monkeys feeding on richly coloured leaves of trees and the monkeys have shiny, black fur. They are undisturbed by me.

Colour: Bright colour.

Feeling during dream: Nothing special.

Feeling after dream: Nothing special.

Interpretation: I got no immediate, intuitive interpretation but, on reflection and reference to the Cayce readings regarding the colour black (mysterious) and monkeys (frivolity and mischief), took this dream to mean that I had in some way broken a power link to something after which I moved on, or would move on, to something mysterious and playful as well as good quality (as symbolised by the shiny coats of the monkeys and the rich state and colouring of the vegetation).

[12.05.10] Flying = Rising above a problem or a suggestion to rise above a problem (Cayce).

Also see addition* below.

Note: On 21.01.94 I noted the followingThe only other dream involving a monkey or monkeys is that in 1989/90? Where I was taking monkeys out of the “Book” and putting them out to mature. Now, at the time of this entry (24.04.10), I distinctly recall this as part of the above dream although I cannot explain its absence from the above entry. The “Book” referred to above was The Book of Life of Christianity - the equivalent of the Akashic Records.

24.04.10. * It appears possible that the monkeys symbolise my mysterious and quality activities which I take from the Akashic Records and put out to mature. It this regard it may be relevant that the note about my dream on 08.01.96 reads as follows: “I wish for, or will be given, access to the Akashic Records for divining purposes.”

Tag = black; flying; monkey;

☛ Tea plantation.

Date: 27.04.90.

Time: Assume pre-awakening.

Dream: Part 1. Back on a plantation (tea); feeling of being welcome; I am credited with past policies which improved yield. I denied credit as the work was done by another before me.

Part 2. I drive a tea leaf truck, not too well, up a twisty road and end up on level ground driving almost out of control along a field path on which are all the tea pluckers in their usual coloured clothes. The truck now seems to have only two wheels (one in front and one at the rear). The pluckers try to get out of the way in the restricted space but I plough on and, amazingly, no one is hurt or killed.

Part 3. I am in what appears to be my room (quarters) which seems to be about 6’ x 10’ with only a curtain as “front wall”/door. A parcel appears and in it is a white singlet with a poetic message in red on the front. The message is incomplete intentionally but is in reply to such an incomplete message of mine to the sender in the past. Throughout this

gift sequence I know that the sender is a female and that it is the reciprocation of a deep love.

Part 4. I am watching a sport and sitting in a chair in a green suit. On my right are three or four anonymous acquaintances dressed in black suits and I am intrigued by the oldfashioned flared pants. They are lounging lazily in their chairs, feet outstretched. My feet are forward.

Colour: Fairly bright - just above natural at times.

Feeling during dream: Not noted - consider nothing special.

Feeling after dream: Not noted Interpretation: None at the time.

06.05.10. After twenty years of experience with dreams I will add here, and in any following dreams, anything I feel will help an interpretation.

Re Part 1. Tea plantations are a theme. There is also the distinct possibility that there is a reference here to past lives (past policies and “another before me” as well as, the “feeling of being welcome”).

Re Part 2. The twisty road and level ground refer to my spiritual journey at the time or predictive. The truck being on two wheels symbolises balance while the pluckers, in this and later dreams symbolise those for whom my “message” is meant. It seems that although I plough on with my writing and its exposure where possible, no one is “hurt or killed”.

Re Part 3. Small room with curtain wall = limited scope but opportunity exists; white singlet (worn next to the body) = my spiritual quality; the incomplete red message on the singlet = my spiritual progress is incomplete and has a new life (red) in response to past effort; the sender being female = my gentler, or spiritual, aspect.

Re Part 4. Watching sport = The situation to be taken lightheartedly; green suit = spiritual growth; 3 = strong, 4 = earthly, black suits = negative and out dated pants = outdated ideas and ideals. Hence, although I grow there is a strong, negative, worldly, outdated and lazy influence in opposition.

Tag: vehicle; plantation; msp:

☛ Car off the road.

Date: 30.04.90.

Time: Assume just before waking.

Preamble: Dream: Part 1. I am making love, individually, to five (?) women dressed in brightly coloured dresses. It seems like me only but four other men may be involved.

Part 2. Next, we are driving in a small, possibly black car. One of the girls who is dressed in yellow with black flecks, is at the wheel and asks me where some place is - our destination, I think. I say that it is around the approaching hairpin bend. The road is

level. The girl says, ‘OK’ but makes no effort to steer the car round the bend so I try to do so from the front passenger seat but I am “lounging physically” in the farther corner of the seat and cannot do enough. The car goes straight and off the road but has a very soft landing on tea bushes that are there.

Part 3. The towing Company is called and when they seem to be taking a long time I “see” them in their office using an electronic arrow to trace our route from our starting point to ascertain where we are.

The tow man arrives on a yellowish motorcycle well equipped with tools etc. He checks our vehicle which has now become a shining, black motorcycle and declares that all is well; that there is only a split in the deflated rear tyre and that, since the driver is an overseas journalist, we must get him on his way quickly. [I realise that there is a pretense that he was the driver.]

I examine the damage, see the long rip in the tyre caused by the rim and realise that it was caused when, despite the tea bushes and soft landing, the wheel took the full effect.

The tow man says that there is nothing to worry about as the tow cost was $65 and there would be a $90 fine to be paid to the authorities.

Colour: - Normal colour.

Feeling during dream: Nothing special.

Feeling after dream: Nothing special.

Interpretation: 16.04.10. In my case the car appears to symbolise my “vehicle” on Earth or portray my Earthly journey.

06.05.10: Re Part 1. Love = communication; 5 = activity or a change in activity; 4 other men = communicating on five different levels or places (such as web sites?).

Re Part 2. Due to the lack of action by one part of me my mystical “vehicle” (journey) goes off the road and I am perfectly accepting of this. There is little or no damage to the car.

Re Part 3. The Company = My spiritual self or Godself. Hence, the real me checks were I am on my journey. Meanwhile, all is well with putting me on track again Was there, perhaps, a little sense of deflation somewhere in my life? If so, there is no cause for concern. The overseas journalist may be a reference to me writing from somewhere different i.e. beyond the mind.

The # 65 = 11 = 2 may indicate a bit of weakness in the cause of the mishap with the #9 indicating a finalization, an end.

☛ The ’Quo Vadis?’ File.

Date: 13.05.90.

Time: ?

Preamble: Dream: I saw The ‘Quo Vadis?’ File with very nearly two pages blank before entry # 60 written on 11.05.90.

Colour: ?

Feeling during dream: ?

Feeling after dream: ?

Interpretation: No record and no recall. I have also no recall of anything like this happening where the File is concerned.

Tag: numbers;

☛ Car - red and white.

Date: 15.05.90.

Time: ?

Preamble: Dream: I am driving a shiny, big, red & white, American type, convertible of the vintage where there was quite a lot of chrome work. It is red above white colouring, the hood is down and there are three chrome circles 3” - 4 “ in diameter adorning the sides.

The car is in the centre of the “picture” facing to the left.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: ?

Feeling after dream: ?

Interpretation: From the Cayce readings: Silver = divine “force”; white = purity; red = life force, new life, anger, sex, Stop sign; the # 3= Strength.

Possibilities: 1a. Change on Earth. 1b. Going back. 2. Change in love life. 3. A situation encompassing silver, white and the # 3.

P.S. This may be a sequel to a dream of some weeks ago where I was in, or had, a black car. Then there was a silvery white one where a doctor/mechanic took out a large faulty part, replaced it with a new one and I drove the car away. It seemed to be “off the ground”.

[07.05.10] The convertible may symbolize my openness to change, and the American type of vehicle may be a reference to the “American Dream” being pursued by so many and, perhaps, by me at the time to a vestigial extent.

Tag: vehicle; red; silver; white; #3;

☛

Wise old man.

Date: 28.05.90.

Time: p.m. (afternoon?), just before waking.

Preamble: Again I had a positive dream which I reviewed carefully before waking but then could not recall it.

Dream: I had the illusion of a wise old man who said to me, ‘ Go, my son, and be happy!’

Colour: ?

Feeling during dream: Very deep.

Feeling after dream: Very deep even at the time of posting the dream.

Interpretation: Was this real or was it my hopes being expressed?

16.04.10. A later dream seems to indicate that this was a time of reassurance for me so this one may have had the same purpose with this being simply symbolic or a visitation by a spirit guide.

☛ Tea plantation.

Date: 28.05.90.

Time: p.m.

Preamble: On the larger tea plantation divisions the assistant managers, and some Field Officers, had motorcycles for work.

Dream: Part 1. I am on a tea plantation. The workers were in new houses and very happy. I could not recall the other parts.

Part 2. I am still on a tea plantation, on a motorcycle going down a stepped path which lead to the Field Officer’s house.

I seemed to be looking for an access road to this area of the plantation. The motorcycle took the steps smoothly and I came to a culvert made of boulders across a little gully about a metre wide. The culvert was obviously badly constructed because, for instance, the two rock slabs forming the ‘bridge’ were unsupported in the middle. As I looked at it the further slab fell in and I could not cross over. I remember feeling that the culvert could easily be rebuilt completely out of properly cut and fitted stone.

Part 3. I am riding the motorcycle somewhere on the other side, with no road or anything under the motorcycle, looking, from an elevated position, at a tea field with only little tufts of leaf at the top tips of the branches and in very poor condition. This condition indicated bad supervision/management by the staff (Field Officer) over a long time.

Part 4. I am riding up the road to the factory buildings area and all is “normal”.

Colour: Yes.

Feeling during dream: No negative feelings - simply matter of fact.

Feeling after dream: Interpretation: [07.05.10] My recollection is that Parts 1 & 2 I am travelling from right to left, in Part 3 starting out NNW, as opposed to right to left, and then coming round to due East, or left to right.

Hence, what started negatively ended positively.

Re Part 1. Something generally positive in relation to my work “on the plantations” - my “mission”?

Re Part 2. Motorcycle = balance; Field Officer = minor spiritual authority.

Hence, I am well balanced, despite steps and facing downwards, on my way to getting minor help. I encounter difficulties which are beautifully described analogically, as is the solution. Anyone willing to spend the time pondering the symbolism of these analogies will learn a lot.

Re Part 3. A successful conclusion. Having overcome difficulties I am in balance, with no road required, looking at the “work” to be done repairing the damage done over a long time.

Re Part 4. The factory on a plantation is where the harvest is turned into the finished product so this segment signifies completion of a task.

☛ The white room.

Date: 31.05.90.

Time: a.m. (This means just before waking.)

Preamble: Only this part recalled. I had no spouse or partner at the time.

Dream: I m in a room with my “spouse” (unidentifiable) in which everything is white.The room feels very homely and is a kitchen/breakfast room. I ask my partner for the bank book which she passes to me. It is the only black object in the room and is connected with something we are doing about renting white, single storey flats to old people.

Colour: Colour but black and white because of the dream.

Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: Spouse = Yin or female aspect of myself; White = pure, spiritual; black = mystery; kitchen/breakfast room = the start of a day (a period).

Hence, the start of a spiritual period in my life or a period of spiritual activity for which funds will be mysteriously forthcoming.

Tag: white; black;

☛ The beautiful hands.

Date: 20.07.90.

Time: Just before waking - a.m.

Preamble: Dream: All I see is a mass of red velvet drapes and a large braided cushion on which is a golden casket (like a jewelry box). A lovely pair of hands (male) is handing out something that is not visible. As I am oriented I see the whole of the right hand and the action of handing out is in the direction of left to right.

Colour: Yes, and very rich in tone.

Feeling during dream: Neutral but of deep “strength” - power or something like that. All objects were of very high quality - including the hands which were, in effect, the centrepiece of the dream.

Feeling after dream: To this day of transcribing these dreams here I clearly recall the magnificence of this dream Interpretation: 16.04.10. I have always felt that these hands symbolised those of Jesus and/or the act of giving. There was absolutely no sense of Earthly riches.

[07.05.10] Possibly signifying my handing out something highly spiritual and highly valuable, in this case knowledge.

Tag: red; jewelry; hand;

☛ In the Land Rover.

Date: Between 01.08.90 and 07.10.90.

Time: ?

Preamble: These three dreams are entered now because, of late, the paint factory dream and that of Sally going to buy bread reappear in this order frequently during meditation or pre-meditation. I feel, perhaps consciously, that bread here symbolizes knowledge.

07.05.10. I do not understand the above comment because I cannot find the three dreams.

Dream: I drive a Land Rover up a grassed track to a pipe and link-wire gate of a “paint factory” and open the gate to enter the property. The “factory” is just about only a large, possibly green, iron shed containing many coloured tins of paint and I get the impression that my purpose in having the factory is to “create colour” in the world.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Note: On the plantations it was a bit of a status symbol for a manager to have a company Land Rover in addition to the company car and this usually happened on the more senior posts and/or where the terrain or other factors made one beneficial.

The Land Rover is well respected for its stability, off road capabilities, reliability etc.

Also, having an aluminium body, it does not rust.

Interpretation: See the last sentence of the dream. Green = growth; opening of gate = metaphorically, just that.

☛ Meditation.

Date: 07.10.90.

Time: Early morning.

Meditation result: Towards the end of meditation the word denouement came to “mind” and, as I know the word but not its meaning, I resolved to look it up in my dictionary after the meditation. The meanings given in the dictionary were: 1. The final clarification or resolution of a plot in a play or work. 2. Final outcome and 3. Solution.

Feeling during the meditation: All this was accompanied by a very strong, positive feeling which continued throughout the day.

Feeling after dream: As above.

Outcome: At the time I was jobless and almost penniless and, within a fortnight, my car had been repossessed and my already poor job prospects consequently virtually eliminated. At my daughter’s invitation I put my cat on a plane, gave my meagre household chattels to charity and boarded a bus with two woven plastic fabric bags of clothing etc. for a twenty-four hour journey interstate to stay with my daughter.

☛ Hands and a diamond.

Date: 13.10.90.

Time: Just before waking - a.m.

Preamble: Many dreams as usual but only the following remained after waking.

☛ Holyrood.

Date: 22.10.90.

Time: Just before waking - a.m.

Preamble: Residue only.

Holyrood was what is called a group plantation because it is large and consists of a few divisions. When I was assistant manager there it had East Holyrood, West Holyrood and Ratnilakele, a small division. The Asst. Manager looked after West Holyrood, the Manager West and Ratnilakele with the assistance of two Field Officers. West was very well run and the work force well behaved and efficient while East and its workforce was the opposite. Consequently, the tea on East was in poor condition. It is this difference that the dreams exploit.

Dream: For the first time ever there are two of me: one representing East Holyrood and the other West Holyrood. I seem to have returned to West Holyrood whereas the other Ian seems to have been there all along. The discussion revolves around the misuse of the tea bushes by “stripping” or taking off too much leaf to the detriment of the bush in the long term. There is no friction, only admittance by the East Holyrood Ian that he had made little gain against West Holyrood standards and that he continued to do so.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: ?

Feeling after dream: ?

Interpretation: This East/West aspect has been very prevalent in my dreams for a few years: East being symptomatic of rape and West symptomatic of nurture. West has always symbolised productivity and east destructivity due to greed and short-term profit.

It seems to me that the West Holyrood Ian has, in this life, progressed and the East Holyrood Ian has caused karmic factors which are being worked out in this life.

There was harmony between the two Ians . . . . an acknowledgement of sorts.

The road ahead.

Date: 12/13.04.91.

Time: During the night.

Preamble: I was moving from my daughter’s home to a new job and a new flat the next morning.

A long dream but only the end is recalled.

Suppiah - a pleasant man he was when he drove the family car 43 years before.

Dream: Part 1. I am urinating into a wash basin. A grey shirt belonging to Lance, my daughter’s partner, lies flat over the right side and slightly into the basin. Urine wets it but I continue as if I cannot help it getting wet. Later, my daughter gives me a bit of a talking to about what I have done but she is not angry.

Next, I get into the back seat of a black (?) car. Suppiah is the driver and I volunteer to do part of the driving as it is to be a long drive “home”. I have the sense that “home” is not a house but a pleasant terminus.

Suppiah says, ‘ This is the last leg so I will drive. You just sit in the back seat and sleep.’

We set off with a lurch which heads the car towards a tree near the road-side and above a steep hillside then back on the road. I look back at the tree and the drop, say, ‘SHIT!’ that was close!’ then settle back contentedly for the drive “home”.

Strangely, I have vivid recollections of a straight, wide, smooth, black, sealed road with concrete curbing and bordering both sides a luxuriant and vividly colourful display of tropical shrubs like crotons. Also, that it was a long lap.

However, I recorded no such thing!

Colour: Yes - vivid.

Feeling during dream: Excellent.

Feeling after dream: Excellent.

Interpretation: Re Part 1. This may be due to a slight antipathy I have for Lance who is a pleasant enough fellow. Apart from this possibility I have no idea! :-) Re Part 2. I am on my last lap of this journey and it augers well, that all indications are excellent and that the details of the journey are ordained.

Aftermath: Within the next week or so I had little if any money in the bank until my first pay arrived and I had paid for something by cheque by mistake and was, consequently, up for costly penalties if I did not retrieve the cheque before it was presented. In the turmoil of this event I unwittingly said, ‘SHIT!’ thus fulfilling the prediction of the dream. Also, as in the dream the disaster was averted narrowly.

Tim and Sally.

Date: c.March 1992 (for between 06.10.91 & 06.08.92) Time: Preamble: Dream: I drive up to a white-framed timber house on a large grassed block with full length windows along the front. As I drive up Tim and Sally, who are in the room on the left, wave to me in greeting. They are standing behind a green sofa. Next, I am inside and, in front of them on a cot or a bed, there is a young child with black hair. Only the face and hair are visible as the rest of the body and the “bed” are covered in blue/white “cotton” (?) blankets untidily arranged. Everything seems untidy but I do not get the impression of dirt. Tim and Sally are standing a couple of feet apart and seem quite happy with everything.

☛ A party.

Date: 23.04.91.

Time: Assume just before waking - a.m.

Preamble: The last dream of many and of that only the final moments remain clear.

Delysia is my real life sister-in-law, a very spiritual lady who seems to symbolise in my dreams my spirit self, or “higher” self as it is often called.

Dream: There is a party or a dance - a happy atmosphere with much dancing. I am with two women and we are all young. One woman identifies as Delysia, to whom I am “married”. The other is very blonde and a bit like Angie Dickinson.

During the partying I am very attracted by, and drawn to, the blonde and keep on going to her and hugging her etc. - very passionate and physical, but not lustful, whilst feeling that I am doing the wrong thing by delysia. I keep on checking to see if she, Delysia, is displeased but she is not. At the end of the dream the party is over and we three are in a room. The blonde is relaxing, sitting on a sofa and I am standing with Delysia across the room. I look over to the blonde and respond to a strong, protective, urge to go over to her. I go behind the sofa, lean over her, hug her with my arms held forward and parallel and make as much contact with her skin as I can by sliding my hands down her body and into her skirt, though not over the crotch. The feeling is of very deep physical and spiritual love and protection as I have sensed her need for protection.

Next, I am back across the room with Delysia who is pointing out to me some new, and raunchy, changes to a dance step. She is unaffected by my attentions to the blonde.

Both girls were dressed in two-piece, white ensembles: short tops and skirts creating half white material and half bare skin.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: It is possible that Delysia represents spiritual love (my love for The Great Spirit) and the other the deep love possible on Earth; that this has something to do with the thoughts I have had about how one loves a person on Earth very much as well as the “big love” (of The Great Spirit and fellow souls). It seems to signal approval of the former by the latter.

I wonder whether this is to prepare me for the entry into my life of ‘Your woman. . . .”?

This ‘Your woman” is to do with a perfectly clear and firm voice from the back seat of my empty car, empty apart from me that is, saying, ‘Your woman is alright!’ This happened in daylight when I was on my way to work in about 1987.

The S Factor.

Date: 14.06.91 approximately.

Time: Night.

Preamble: The only part recalled in the morning.

Dream: I was in a room, lying down, and Sally was sitting astride my pelvis dressed in a mid-green, loose dress pulled up around her thighs. There was nothing sexual involved only a feeling of very deep friendship. She appeared to be telling me, regretfully, to “go with someone else” or “find someone else”. I got the feeling that she was trying to say, ‘I am not good enough.’

After this I was on the toilet three times over a short time.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: As stated.

Feeling after dream: ?

Interpretation: Green = Healing, growth.

It appears that the loose folds of the green garment lying diagonally across the chest indicate a healing “growth” which is not restrictive; that there are thoughts of doubt being resolved or revolving in her mind. I do not understand the significance of the three visits to the toilet but it could be that the three “evacuations’ mean that I will, or need to, eliminate three things which are, possibly 1. Impatience, 2. Doubt and 3. Unknown. It is also possibly an indication that I was trying to purge myself of my bond with Sally - to let go subconsciously.

☛ Woman and diamond.

Date: 21.07.91.

Time: Just before waking.

Preamble: Dream: The “screen” is filled with the upper torso of a young woman dressed in a white garment with a cutaway neckline and wearing a fine gold chain necklace with a heart shaped pendant diamond surrounded by gold. The diamond is thumbnail size or smaller and, sadly, appears to be inexpensive. Her hand shows it to me and at the left of it a brilliant, faceted diamond of a larger size appears.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Nothing worth noting it seems.

Feeling after dream: Nothing worth noting it seems.

Interpretation: Again, perhaps symbolic of the work I am doing or the peak of it to be reached a few years later.

Tag: jewelry;

☛ Motorcycle race.

Date: 14.08.91.

Time: Must be Just before waking - a.m.

Preamble: End of dream.

Dream: I am riding a motorcycle on a road in hilly country and two men are on another motorcycle behind me. It is a race of sorts to a non-specific destination and, while they continue on the black bituminised road I veer off across a grassy area while they continue on the road which veers right in an arc and returns to the straight line trajectory I have taken. By this I hope to gain an advantage.

The grassy area is randomly undulating, is a beautiful, brilliant green and is perfectly manicured. Riding across these green undulations makes me feel good.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Good.

Feeling after dream: Good.

Interpretation: Green = healing and/or spiritual growth; motorcycle = balance; the brightness of the grass = quality; motorcycle = balance.

It seems to me that I am making good progress in “riding” the undulations (vicissitudes) of my life, and the conducting of my life, in a balanced way in this the last lap of my life.

[17.04.10. Cutting across the grassy area is also unorthodox but effective.]

☛ Visit to Sally and Tim. Date: 24.09.91.

Time: Night.

Preamble: This dream may have gone on for a long time as it had started before I awoke at 12.58 a.m. and finished when I awoke at 5.25 a.m.

Dream: Something to do with me and a couple of others, including Manilal*, calling on Sally and Tim in their big, rambling barn of a house which was not # 84 Bay St. One got the impression that it was a place visited frequently by male friends for the purpose of boozing and eating. All a bit sordid and it was as if Sally spent most of her time cooking etc. Throughout the dream I was on the periphery waiting for a reaction from Sally to me. At the end I was outside the house looking through a window. Inside, Sally and Tim were practicing a dance step a few feet apart. Sally was dressed in blue (later white?) and pregnant**. Throughout the dream it seemed that Sally and Tim were almost like automatons - just going through motions of life. Sally may have been in green earlier.

Note: This dream was not “near the surface” and I could not recall any more.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Not stated.

Feeling after dream: Somewhat sad as I had got no reaction from Sally. However, as the day progressed, a feeling of sadness for Sally together with a very strong sensation took over. The sensation does not lend itself to explanation but part of it was the very strong feeling that , in some way, I was “actually there”!

This evening I found it necessary to record the dream. I am perplexed by the dream and the sensation that developed. Nothing like this has happened before.

Interpretation: On reflection it seemed to be only my subconscious going over things, particularly my doing nothing to influence any action. It did not seem a dream worth recording.

Tag: sf; *A fellow planter who worked for the same company as I. He was a good friend, was sincerity and had a high sense of responsible. ***** Note on 02.10.91: Before, during or after meditation this morning this pregnancy appeared to be a brilliant white light inside the tummy. As if the gestation was of something spiritual. This is very interesting considering what is written in the introductory note heading this journal.

P.S. After the dream itself it seemed that the pregnancy was 5-7 months gone allowing for the variations in individuals.

Note on 03.10.91.

This was a Monday and I do not meditate on week days as I have to go to work.

However, today I had time and meditated. On conclusion of the meditation a”thought” came to me to check Sally’s situation on my work computer - a prohibited act due to privacy laws. I discovered that she had had a baby a baby on 01.08.91.

Later that day I had a visualization of the birth and the feeling was a very deep and moving one . . . . . A beautiful occurrence!

☛ The rose pink room.

Date: 04.10.91 Time: Just before waking.

Preamble: A long dream but only the end registered and that was vague.

Dream: I was in a room or rooms where everything was rose pink and I said, ‘Everything is rose pink!’

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: ?

Date: 06.10.91.

Time: Just before awakening.

Preamble: Only end of dream recalled.

Dream: There were two blood red napkins, folded square, on two light green plates on the table and it struck me that these symbolised red flags i.e. Danger, and then also realised that I had not set the alarm the night before but only reset the time.

☛ A Brain Teaser!

Date: 26.07.92.

Time: Just prior to awakening.

Preamble: A very clear message.

Dream: This question was posed. That’s it!

‘Is it better for the monkey to milk the cow or the elephant to make water?’

Colour: Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Utter puzzlement.

Interpretation: 26.07.92. Nil. 17.04.10. My book The Milk Is White did not materialise until 1996. However, the future exists in the now so there could be some relevance in this.

Let’s see: Monkeys tend to be playful, frivolous and inattentive whereas the elephant is sagacious, slow and careful. In the context of the book a monkey, or a person with the mentality of a monkey, or that attributed to a monkey, will not get very far in understanding the “milk of the cow”.

So, what about the elephant? Is this a reference to an elephant urinating (in the way only an elephant can - we do not know about a whale!). Is the phrase “make water” a variant of “make it to water”; a play on words for which dreams are famous? In this case the phrase takes on a whole new, spiritual, meaning. It is essential that elephants have a lot of water to quench their thirst as well as to cool and wash themselves whilst a monkey’s need for water in minimal. With this line of menting it is certainly better for the elephant to make water than for the monkey to milk a cow!

☛ Two tall people.

Date: 16.09.92.

Time: 6.25 a.m.

Preamble: Dream: Two fairly tall people, who look alike but whose haircuts indicates one being female and one male, get into the back of a somewhat dilapidated and dirty Volkswagen Combi van. Their garments are ice blue in colour and may be silk; they are like full

length, low cut slips with thin shoulder straps and there is the appearance of the bodies being spiritual rather than solid.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: None - just observation.

Feeling after dream: Interpretation: tall = standing tall; blue = true, truth; black vehicle = mysterious, mystical stage of journey; Combi = play on words; the garments tending towards the non-worldly.

Hence, Two aspects of me combine in a mysterious or mystical journey concerned with the truth.

Colour: The whole scene, seemingly framed, was dull brown or sepia and indistinct - like a photographic negative.

☛ A new house for me.

Date: 03.10.93 Time: ?

Preamble: Dream: I go through a reception hall to a house I have got in a new housing estate. The house is a corrugated iron shack, with mud floors, apparently previously occupied by an old recluse. It consists of one room with a toilet beside it but separate. I discuss with a builder my wish for cement brick walls which could be lime washed yellow/cream. I realise that I may not have the money to do this. Later, I think of lining the shack with insulating foil blanket and, perhaps, lining the interior walls with plasterboard myself.

At times there are a few others in the shack.

The whole plantation is wet and in a mess of excavated soil, roadworks etc. Later, I walk around a bit and notice hundreds of people coming through the reception hall on their way to their houses. All the houses I see are rather dilapidated and jerry-built out of recycled materials. I get the impression that they were all previously holiday houses and that everyone was there with the idea of rebuilding them.

Finally, my shack seems to be built of wattle and daub. I also make my toilet usable by creating a 6” bore down to the core of the Earth and this almost fills with swirling hot water which very efficiently disposes of anything put into it.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: The whole dream atmosphere is neutral - no negative or positive feel to it - just unfolding.

My garden.

Date: 27.09.92 Time: ?

Preamble: Dream: I am in the garden of a very large house which is mine. There are three ponies which are slightly out of condition and, therefore, need to be exercised etc. The large garden too is a bit run down and in need of titivating. It looks dry and in need of water and care.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: ?

Feeling after dream: ?

Interpretation: [07.05.10] According to the Cayce information in the Revelation horses symbolize the chakras and the colour of the horse is has meaning in this context.

Here we have three horses and, since their colour is not noteworthy, they probably symbolize the third, or Solar Plexus, chakra. There relatively poor condition would indicate the need of some attention here.

Similarly the state of the garden indicates the need for improved attention to my garden, my state of being - my mentality or attitude.

☛ A new road.

Date: Week end of 3&4. 10.92 Time: ?

Preamble: Another long dream of which below is the end.

Dream: I am driving a Land Rover up a road with a couple of hairpin bends leading up to the manager’s house. I am the manager. The road is unsealed and the whole excavation is orangy/red in colour, tending more to the orange. I notice how well the road cutting has been done and how smooth the finish of the surface as too the faces of the cuttings. However, I also notice two small errors which will have to be corrected because they are a little bit dangerous.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: ?

Feeling after dream: ?

Note: On the plantations it was a bit of a status symbol for a manager to have a company Land Rover in addition to the company car and this usually happened on the more senior posts and/or where the terrain or other factors made one beneficial.

The cutting of new roads on the plantations was a forte of mine. These roads were meticulously cut and otherwise constructed.

Interpretation: [08.05.10] Land Rover = all-round soundness; the road etc. is: Orange = energy, health. At a high (manager) level going upwards with a few sharp bends.

Hence, my journey is sound and going upwards with a couple of challenges to be negotiated. However, the finish is smooth despite two small errors which will have to be corrected.

Tag: new road; Land Rover; orangy;

☛ Holyrood.

Date: 15.10.92 Time: ?

Preamble: I start this dream with the words “Once again” denoting many previous such dreams.

Dream: I am on Holyrood but this time East Holyrood and West Holyrood are a single unit. The tea seems to be in good condition, is well manicured and yielding well. It is weighing up time and I am in East on my way to the weighing point on West. The feeling is of things being on a larger “scale” than in previous dreams - not larger size wise because in that respect the dream is normal.

Earlier, I was on a landing at the top of a flight of stairs which was crowded with male workers who were presenting themselves to me for me to guess whose sons they were.

Earlier in the dream I am with LP (manager when I was assistant manager in c.1956/7).

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: See note 2 below.

Feeling after dream: After all the Holyrood dreams I felt uplifted.

Note 1 : In fact, and usually in my dreams, West and East Holyrood are separate divisions of Holyrood.

Note 2: This theme of returning to various plantations has existed for many years since 1985 and seems to have progressed until, with this one, I have a feeling of finality Interpretation: [08.05.10] The reference to things being on a larger scale may indicate a global human/spiritual aspect.

Flight of stairs = spiritual climb or descent; LP = a very weak manager.

So, East and West Holyrood are of a uniform good standard and this is to be viewed on the wide scale of the human spirit, the human mentality. The stairs indicate that I have climbed to a new level (landing) and people are in search of information regarding their antecedents. This despite the inherent weakness in “man”.

☛ Meditation.

Date: 17.10.92 Time: Soon after awakening.

Preamble: For the first time since I started meditating the meditation lasted two hours. It has usually been 40 - 50 minutes at week ends and 20 - 30 minutes on the working days.

I have recently bought two lottery tickets for a house and garden which struck me as being an ideal “Quo Vadis? School - or Centre of Learning. Since buying the tickets I have occasionally contemplated various plans for this if it comes my way whilst understanding that although, rationally, the odds of this happening are minuscule, if it is meant to happen nothing will stop it. There is also the understanding that I should be “still”. Underpinned by thought the contemplation occurred again during my premeditation “cup of coffee time” so, when I started meditating, I wished to put this out of my mind.

Meditation: Despite my efforts the possibilities involved with the unlikely school project kept intruding. These possibilities numbered five but I omit them as they are really of no significance to this post and its purpose.

After meditation, and realising for how long it had taken, I had a very strong feeling of being in an environment of, for want of better words, soundness, solidity . . . . . . almost tangible . . . . . it cannot be described.

Colour: Feeling during meditation: N/A Feeling after meditation: I realise that excitement is good, because I am not excited for myself, but that craving is negative. I realise too that is this eventuates I have been given something for a specific purpose and that, as the Cayce Readings say, “Start where you are; start with what you have in hand . . . . . “ So, if it does eventuate it could be that the red light at the T intersection of my dream some four years ago has turned green, or that it was not to be and that I must return to my normal base of hope and purpose which, in itself, is a very contented one. The lone sailor will still have his prow pointed north!

☛ Cards.

Date: 17.10.92 Time: 7 p.m.

Preamble: The end only.

Dream: Something to do with ‘cards’ and, perhaps, a lottery. The ‘cards’, only a couple, were large ATM* ones. A voice said, ‘You must have her ticket as well.’

All this was very large, right up, filling the “screen”.** Colour: Assume yes.

Feeling during dream: ?

Feeling after dream: ?

Interpretation: 19.04.10. No idea, but for years thereafter I bought tickets with numerous females to test this message but nothing happened. The “her” may not be a person but refer to the Yin in me.

See the following entry.

Note: *Automated teller machine. ** 19.04.10. Nearly 18 years later I have no idea what this means!

☛ The number 7.

Date: 23.10.92 Time: ?

Dream: Something about a group of people dressed in white returning to rejoin something. Also a rectangular piece of white cloth with the number seven on it. The number almost filled the sheet.

Colour: Either black and white or colour.

Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: [08.05.10] The first sentence seems to refer to the return of earthlings to their source. (The return of the prodigal son!)

The #7 represents a mystical relationship or completion (Cayce). White = spiritual; rectangle = Earthly or worldly (four corners of the Earth).

Hence, a positive progress report - personal, collective or both.

☛ A neoption.

Date: 23.10.92 Time: a.m.

Preamble: While walking to work.

Neoption: All our thoughts and/or actions are the result of love: love of self which includes material things, money et al for self, or love of others.Thus love is everything.

☛ Elimination of self.

Date: 24.10.92.

Time: Usually early a.m.

Preamble: Meditation: I see that we all “see” only ourselves in varying degrees; that as we focus more and more on others and less and less on self the self gradually disappears and we are left with total focus outwards . . . . and of self there is nothing left . . . . . . and there is great peace and happiness in the central void.

Feeling after: The “Be still, and know that I am God” experience continues during meditation. Today, in a way similar to other recent occasions, the experience of being “suspended” [unattached suspension] stationary in “time” and “space”, keeping an idea and, whilst showing responsibility by planning ahead, leaving everything [“tomorrow”] to The Great Spirit. This is extremely difficult to describe, impossible in fact. “Be still, and know that I am God” cannot be understood or described; it can only be experienced . . . . . . to date, anyway! However, I suspect that this is not always.

[08.05.10] N.B. A reader reading all I have written to date may come to realise what “The Great Spirit” and “God” really are.

☛ Dream or real?

Date: 25.10.92 Time: During the night some time.

Preamble: It was difficult to tell whether this was a dream or an occurrence but, on reflection, it seems more likely to be a dream.

Dream: Part 1. I am lying in bed, face down, and see one side of the room - perhaps the ceiling cornice area - starting to light up in the beautiful white light as if someone “very high up”, even The Great Spirit Itself, is about to appear. It seems to me that this is a fairly frequent occurrence* but, this time, the light gets brighter and I expect a visitation.

However, a “solar wind” starts from the direction in which my feet are pointing and gets stronger and stronger. There is also the sound of rustling - as if from a mass of thin strips of foil - which increases in volume as the “wind” increases. I get an uneasy feeling - not fear - that something untoward is about to happen. Thoughts of a discarnate spirit and the kundalini flash through my mind.

This is a very dramatic and live experience and the “wind” was pretty strong.

I awake [Did I, or was I awake throughout?] and consider checking the sitting room in case someone not too pleasant is there but decide that there is no need and return to sleep.

There was no fear at all this - just some disquiet.

Part 2. I am standing with someone [present but unseen] looking into a sort of concrete pit in which there is a sheet of what looks like yellow fibreglass acoustic insulation board and the perforated insulation foil covering it is vibrating, hence the noise, but I think that all the noise could not have come from this.

Colour: ?

Feeling during: Very real Feeling after: *In hindsight on awaking I cannot really say.

Interpretation: Is this an advisory dream telling me that there is something I need to develop/learn or a predictive one advising against fear - a dummy run so to speak? Who knows!

Does sound insulation have anything to do with something or someone (me?) being well insulated?

Note: For a few years from about 1984 I worked in various capacities for a fibreglass manufacturing company.

☛ The brown paper package.

Date: 29.10.92 Time: ?

Preamble: I recalled this hitherto unrecorded dream which occurred between the 16th and 26th of this month.

Dream: I enter the living room of a small house, which I do not see but “know” is small, go to the window and gaze out. A servant who resembles Banda* comes in and leaves by the chair near the door a small package “containing my chattels”. The package is approximately 24”x 18”x 3” wrapped in brown paper and taped. All corners were perfect. Basic furniture, of the style of around the 1930s is already there. I notice, and am impressed by, the extreme neatness of the package. * A young servant I had when I was a young tea planter.

Colour: Colour.

Feeling during: Feeling after: -

Interpretation: [08.05.10] House = activities or worldly mentality; chattels = “thoughts” my thinking or mentality; Banda = inexperienced, pleasant servant. brown = negative; rectangular = worldly; This dream is advising that the way I am living my life is as represented by the qualities of the package i.e. In a negative, youthful, inexperienced way even though expressing what is correct (the neatness of the package).

As it happens, at this time I was being ultra critical of the inefficiency of many in my place of work - I was correct but scathingly intolerant! Therefore, what was necessary was to change my attitude to others. I was already aware of my error and was trying to change my attitude around that time.

☛ The Yellow Toyota Corolla.

Date: 29.10.92 Preamble: Recollection of the riddle of the letter from Maureen, my excellent clairvoyant friend, of November 1988.

Recollection etc: For some reason I had to replace my car and just before or just after I did this Maureen said to me, “You will buy another car, but not for the reason you think.” I traded in my car for a used, yellow Toyota Corolla.

Yesterday, it struck me that the car was yellow and that Sally was wearing yellow when I first met her. That I saw her in a yellow aura at that moment. This lead me to wonder whether the Maureen’s comment about the car had something to do with Sally and it appears that, apart from the basic use of a car for such as work and shopping, the only “good” purpose it served was, perhaps, to provide the situation where Sally and I could talk primarily about spiritual things. Since we only met at work these conversations would not have been possible except for the fact that, within days of Sally starting work where I worked, her car broke down, the garage repairing her car was on my way to and from work and, although there was another person who could have given her a lift, she asked me. Her car broke down two or three times and she also asked me for a lift on the days when Tim did not work and, therefore, needed their car. Hence, if these journeys to and from work were of any benefit to her - and by implication to me too - that may be what Maureen’s statement meant.

Date: 08.11.92 Time: ?

Result: I realise that in the second phase of dream interpretation I am ascribing to the dream my conscious and biased interpretation and thus missing the point or, more correctly, ascribing to the dream what it is not meant to convey.

☛ The S Factor.

Date: 09.011.92 Time: ?

Preamble: Recall is fractured.

Dream: I am searching for Sally’s house and think I find it but the agent tells me that they were evicted for keeping it badly, or untidily. I feel that she is just too fussy a person.

I track down the next house and a tradesman is doing some work on it.

Off and on, a large image of Sally appears and her hair is very blonde. [She is a natural red head but had her hair blonde when I knew her.]

Colour: Yes. Feeling during: Throughout, saturated with a deep feeling of love for Sally.

Feeling after: Interpretation: [07.05.10] To this day, as in many of the dreams in this theme, I can offer no credible interpretation - except the ultimate outcome.

☛ Lowering heavy object.

Date: 09.11.92 Time: 5 a.m.

Preamble:

Dream: I am in a multi-storey factory. There is a very important job to be done by me which involves me lowering a very heavy object into place down the side of a “well”.

There is a track for this down the side and away but no visible site for its installation. I am dressed in thick, clean, starched, blue overalls. Everything is ready and the boss hands me the papers for the job. One of these is my disclaimer of damages as the job has the air of being dangerous although I have no qualms. So that they can be put in my pocket properly I have folded them neatly.

At this point I awake.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during: Normal.

Feeling after: Normal.

Interpretation: 1. I am about to lower (release) something “heavy”. Let go of something burdensome.

2. I am well equipped.

3. I have the backing of “management”.

Tags: predictive;

☛ Note.

12.11.92 It struck me today that the blue overalls meant “overall peace or serenity”.

This may mean that the dream did not refer to the situation at work where stress forced me to leave at 10 a.m. on 10.11.92.

It is time that, although that heavy thing was released on the 11th, my work situation is only half the problem. The other half is that there is dis-ease because of my inability to clearly understand my dreams etc. and the ever - present unknown about Sally. Despite all conscious effort Sally does not go away - dreams keep on coming!!!

What is going on? Is there some unconscious craving or has it all, really, got a purpose?

[08.05.10] Blue also means true. Thus, this may be a reference to my future (1996) dissemination of the truth via my book and the subsequent The ‘Quo Vadis?’ File III. Tag: sf; mpc;

☛ The S Factor.

Date: 12.11.92 Time: 2 a.m.

Preamble:

Dream: There is some sort of window. I am on this side and Sally on the other amongst a group of people. I am searching for her in the crowd as one would in an airport on the arrival of a plane and she may be searching for me. She sees me and seems to realise that she loves me. The others are emotionless.

Sally puts her hands up to her face and forward and we meet in an intense, loving embrace.

Colour: Entirely in a strange orangy colour.

Feeling during: Feeling after: Interpretation: [07.05.10] To this day, as in many of the dreams in this theme, I can offer no credible interpretation - except the ultimate outcome which is the connection between me and the truth, the Reality.

Orange, orangy = Health, energy (Cayce Readings on dream symbols).

☛ ‘Don’t cross!’ - a warning.

Date: 12.11.92 Time: 5.10 a.m.

Preamble: End of dream.

Dream: I call out to a man on the other side of a suburban road, ‘Don’t cross!’

Colour: Yes. Feeling during: Feeling after: Interpretation: 20.04.10. There is no interpretation at the time of the dream but my recollection is that this dreams stopped me doing something I had intended doing.

[07.05.10] To this day, as in many of the dreams in this theme, I can offer no credible interpretation - except that this was a warning which I may or may not have acted upon.

I recall that, at about this time, I did make a decision not to have a fling with a female tenant in my block of ten flats.

☛ Alton.

Date: 13.11.92 Time: Just before waking - a.m.?

Preamble: Alton is a tea plantation I managed in 1966. Geoff Middleton preceded me as manager and my previous plantation was Radella. Geoff and I were well acquainted as fellow Company executives. Alton is more than a hundred miles from the sea. The manager had a company Land Rover.

Dream: I am taking over Alton from Geoff Middleton having left Radella. Radella was not pictured and this Alton was totally unlike the actual Alton. The feeling between Geoff and I was very friendly - close, “loving”.

The inside of the house was magnificent and all of a golden hue. The whole dream was golden. There was a huge swimming pool and I swam in it. It had a very unusual shape but I had a full picture of it. Off to one side was a beach and the rolling surf.

Geoff and I had a long discussion about “swapping” servants or a servant.

I set off for the office ( I think, with no shoes on) and behind me, or to the right, I saw the house but, this time, not at sea level. It was a magnificent, multifaceted mansion. Way down below, Geoff has gone to the office in the Land Rover.

There are many dogs around - little friendly ones. [None mine and Geoff had none as far as I knew.]

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Extreme harmony from the golden colour and the dream. Neither negative nor positive but, somehow, an extremely high affect, like the one in July 1990 with all the red velvet and those beautiful hands.

Feeling after dream: Early post dream reflection was that the 15.11.92 dream of returning to Holyrood was a culmination of something and that this dream was a gift of sorts. There was a feeling of great beauty - more to do with feeling and expressing than the visual aspect.

Interpretation: Only that this seems to be a continuation of the plantation theme.

☛ Card with red 7.

Date: 05.12.92 Time: Preamble: End of dream. From memory at 21.04.10 the card was white.

Dream: Something to do with someone completing something using a card with a red 7 on it. It may have been a woman (in blue?) with shortish blonde hair.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: I am confused! Too many possible interpretations to all these things and I do not know how much is from my conscious influences and how much is from other sources. All far too difficult. I am restless.

Interpretation: In many dreams Sally is dressed in blue and has short blonde hair.

[08.05.10.] Here we have in a reference to, and all the symbolic qualities of, a valuable document, treatise or pronouncement.

The number 7 = mystical relationship or completion; red = life force, new life, anger, sex and stop sign (Cayce). Blue = true.

☛ The S Factor.

Date: 05.12.92 Time: End of meditation, so early morning.

Preamble: Dream: Sally arrives at the flat and we start talking. I am in my usual place. I feel physically weakened by the course of events and, therefore, go to the bedroom to lie down having put a chair by the bedside for Sally. We talk and I, fully relaxed and in a semi trance state, am sort of channelling like Edgar Cayce did.

Colour: Feeling during dream: Very matter of fact.

Feeling after dream: No negative, positive or emotional reaction.

Interpretation: [07.05.10] To this day, as in many of the dreams in this theme, I can offer no credible interpretation - except the ultimate outcome i.e. the writing of my book and its sequel.

Date: 30.12.92 Time: Early morning. At the end of meditation.

Preamble: In life, Sally’s hands were small.

Meditation: I neopt a small, white, female hand in front of me and on it a beautiful, deep blue sapphire about 10 cm across, set in a circle of circular diamonds each about 2 mm across.

Very vivid symbology pertaining to what I would soon start writing.

☛

The number 10.

Date: 22.02.93 Time: Assume usual.

Preamble: This is the first dream in 7.4 weeks to “surface” since that above. At this time I was a social security officer #1, but acting #3. The section managers were #5s and the branch manager would be around #6?

In numerology the # 10, as a Peak Number has above it the # 11 and in my case at the age of 60 years I become a #10. [My date of birth is 22.02.34.] and continue as such thereafter.

Dream: I am with two men who seem to be labour union men on a building site. They go briefly into my history in Australia and make me a #10 in another Department of Social Security office - i.e. Different from the one in which I was working at the time. I feel that my qualifications do not warrant this and that it is also against the rules but acquiesce - sort of go along with the tide.

The building site becomes that of the new house being prepared for me. It is huge and solid but I do not see it as a whole, only sections being pulled away, cleaned, and put back in place. Huge sections of the house and terracing are being moved back into place by unseen men and machines. Everything is moist but not muddy.

I am taken (in the latter stages by a lady) on a tour of this “fat cat” area of other huge houses (unseen) high on the mountains, far above the town where the “ordinary” folk live.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Much interest!

Feeling after dream: ?

Interpretation: Here we have the activity of “building”, a high number (10), the building becoming my house (my state of being/mentality), major renovations, emotional stability (moist but not muddy), the Yin to balance my Earthly Yang, high elevation (high on the mountain) and “ordinary” folk (the unenlightened or ignorant). Departments of Social Security look after the interests of those in need.

☛ The S Factor.

Date: 12.03.93 Time: a.m. (21.04.21: Assume usual time.)

Preamble: Dream: I visit Sally and Tim at their house in the country and we go to various places. It is Sally but looks like other/s I know - partly Lorraine? Sally and I talk a lot - deep talk.

(Tim is not present at these times). One thing she says is to the effect that she cannot have 100% so she accepts 50%.

During this dream it comes across that Tim a caring, attentive and good father.

Eventually, I drive off past the property towards the city leaving the situation as it is - the status quo.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: During meditation, not focused on the dream, soon after I get the impression that, for Sally and Tim, although on the surface (life) things are not 100%, for the souls’ purpose there is great gain.

Interpretation: Is all this telling me that I must drive away, back to “life” or that I will do so? If so, what about the S Factor dream of 05.12.92? I am getting awfully confused by all these contradictions. I cannot differentiate between the conscious, the subconscious and the superconscious. Very tough, as I do not know which way to go. The answer again is patience and ‘Be still!’

[08.05.10] This may be an insight into how Sally and Tim were faring at the time and advice that I should “move on”.

Tough times - only 10% though!

☛ Mario’s small factory.

Date: 17.03.93 Time: Just before waking - a.m.

Preamble: Mario is a friend and one time landlord and neighbour of my daughter when I came from interstate.

Dream: I walk around a number of new housing developments in the hills. Also, there is one part to do with Mario’s small factory unit closing and an old lady starting a new business there.

Colour: Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: [08.05.10] Something developing in the hills? The old lady = Yin? Factory = construction, making of something.

Two years later I moved to Maleny on a plateau above an escarpment 384m above sea level. The old lady may symbolize the Yin needed to balance my Yang so as to open my mind fully to the Truth.

Walking tall #1 and Sita #2.

Date: 20.03.93 Time: Just before waking - a.m.

Preamble: Long dream but only partly recalled.

Re. Part 2. None of the characters in this have I met.

Dream: Part 1. I am walking round a department store doing something and in the end I am naked and on my way out with someone (Bryan W?). I try to hide my nakedness by crouching. Then, as if accepting the situation, stand erect and walk proud. At this time I am very tall.

Part 2. I the first segment I recalled I meet Sita, a village girl, who has come to live with her sister in the “sophisticated” city apparently in Ceylon. She is a bubbly, unspoilt person; slim, and dressed in a rose pink sari. There is a strong attraction between us but I have to go away for a while.

Later, after a long period away, I return. To where there are a number of people as well as many plans involved and I am searching for Sita. Finally, there is a garden party of sorts going on and I find Sita in a circle of people. She sees me and jumps up. She has rich gold hair short and bobbed, is wearing a bright orange sari and stands out from the rest because of the brightness of the colours of her clothes. Her hair stands out too as all the others have dark hair. She rushes over to me, very happy, hugs me and nibbles my ear lobes.

I feel great peace, love and fulfillment for both of us.

Note: The Cayce Readings state that orange in dreams relates to health and energy.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: Re Part 1. Naked = vulnerable, exposed, spiritually unencumbered.

Possibly encouragement in reference to any feelings I may have regarding the public exposure of my spiritually unencumbered state as demonstrated by my writings.

Re Part 2. Sita = my “mission”; a circle = “God”; Golden hair probably = golden thinking or mental activity; hair standing out = “thinking” standing out, ∴ writing; bobbed = concise? succinct? - what I write was, to that time, and continues to be, concise and succinct.

Hence, After a break in my endeavours I restart my unconscious preparations for what is symbolized by all the symbols in the dream. Sita’s nibbling of my ear could indicate my having access to the Truth - having “an ear in”, if you like.

Holyrood.

Date: 06.09.93 Time: Last dream before waking.

Preamble: Since the entry above there have been many dreams about plantations, including quite a few about Holyrood, but recall was low. In many dreams I return to Holyrood after the age of 65 years to manage the plantation - a reference to managing my “work”.

In life I am now 59 years old and in 5 years and 5 months will be 65 which is the retiring age in Australia.

Dream: I have been told, or know instinctively, that I am going to Holyrood (as manager). A new factory is been built. In the end, I am with Manilal standing by a large number of people eating at long tables. I tell Manilal that I am going to Holyrood - in a way a secret between us. I then realise that I am 65 years old and, therefore, have five to go to retirement and in which to get things running smoothly and the teething problems of the factory overcome.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: Is there a connection between Holyrood and Alton (13.11.92) the significance of which has been addressed before? On Alton I made sweeping changes which reduced costs, improved efficiency as well as agricultural policy thus consolidating my predecessor’s drastic, but necessary, policies. So how does one translate this? Time will tell, I hope.

[09.05.10] The #5 = activity or change in activity (Cayce); Manilal = that aspect of me that is a good friend, with sincerity and had a high sense of responsible; eating at long tables = food, knowledge*; factory = centre where product is refined and exported; Hence, my “work” activity is reaching a point where it can be “exported” and I sense that I have until 1998 to finalize things.

It may be that it took me until 1998 to find the many small typographical errors that had been missed previously. By about 2000 I had acquired a computer and set up the text to hand print and hand make copies of the book for sale, and where an interested party was too poor, for making a gift of a copy. In 2006 I was able to go on the Internet. * In The Milk Is White I mention a dream portraying a banquet laid out just behind a thin curtain through which it is visible, and on the closer side of which are people with various degrees of awareness that, just within reach, is a banquet.

☛ Holyrood.

Date: 21.09.93

Time: Assume just before waking - a.m.

Dream: There was something about a milch cow (on Glenlyon?). I was not happy with it being kept in a dark shed all the time. A calf was then sleeping under a bed in my room.

Next, I am driving through Holyrood (not recognisable) and the tea is in full, record breaking flush. Somehow, I am responsible for this. The K.P. ( a field staff member) tells me that it is a record and I tell him that I already know.

So to optimise the yield I ask the older women if there are any of them whom I taught (on Cymru) to pick in my special way so many years ago. Later, I am walking along a narrow path along a railway line. Someone had placed thumb tacks on the path for people to tread on.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: In one of the early Holyrood dreams the opposite of “full flush” was symbolised in a tea bush covered in dormant buds (banjis) so here is a reference to great progress. Using facts of my life* as symbols paragraph three seems to refer to the female aspect of people (Yin) - that aspect which is more amenable to the spiritual truth than the materialistic Yang - and the dissemination of my writings to the receptive. The fact that the staff member who told me about the “full” flush was a mid-level one may indicate a mid-level of success. *On Holyrood in 1957 someone had placed voodoo like, harmful charms under the surface of a path I took every morning to muster and, on a division on another plantation, I trained pluckers in a new way of plucking leaf I had devised.

☛ The S Factor.

Date: 26.09.93 Time: During or at the end of afternoon nap.

Preamble: Dream: Early part: Using a trailer I am removing a pile of dead branches from a garden.

Later part: Sally’s car is parked in the carport outside a bedroom or house in which I am.

I go out and, apparently sneakily, look at it. It is bright yellow, has two children’s safety seats in it and dents (as if she had had a minor accident). There is also her friend’s car - a visitor. This car is purple and has little wheels, about 8” - 9” in diameter. Then Sally’s car has similar wheels and the car move, or are moved, into a horizontal T configuration with the purple one blocking the yellow.

Next, I walk into the main house where Delysia is standing by a table and Sally (but does not look like her*) and the other girl are sitting at it. They all appear to be studying some books. Delysia turns to me and signals the question, ‘What is this?’ and makes the sign of

the exclamation mark i.e. The index finger moving vertically downwards and ending in a stab to mark a dot. I tell them.

Next, I am sitting at the table, Delysia has gone, Sally is standing to the left of me and her friend is sitting opposite me. The friend is attractive, but not as attractive as Sally, and is wearing an orange coloured top. Sally is in bright yellow and both are blonde. I feel that the friend is the alternative to Sally. I am somewhat reluctant about this and study the friend’s face.

Sally moves over to me and makes full body contact, then moves away backwards to my left and, as she continues to move away, we all joke about the two perfect holes in each of two of her upper teeth. I point out that the holes are only on one side whereas those in her friend’s teeth are balanced - two on either side of centre. It is remarkable that the holes are perfectly lined with tooth enamel; not just drilled holes or caries.

I look at her friend and she grows on me.

[See 13.10.93]

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: The characteristics of the holes in the teeth may symbolise balance/ harmony as there was absolutely no similarity with dental caries.

[07.05.10] To this day, as in many of the dreams in this theme, I can offer no credible interpretation - except the ultimate outcome i.e. my writings and their dissemination.

Note: *It often happens in my dreams, and probably in those of all people, that a person or place (even thing?) is definitely recognised by feeling (clearly known) but not by appearance.

Interpretation: I try to interpret the symbolism of Trevor and the only conclusion I have is that he is a Chinese doctor. Later there are two men - so, two Chinese doctors? The money is self-explanatory. So what does living with him mean? I suddenly realise it means “staying with”.

Hence, despite concerns about money stay with the two Chinese doctors.

Conclusion: I had recently had severe spondilosis of my cervical vertebrae 5, 6 & 7 which western medical doctors were unable to treat but I had found two Chinese medical men, not regarded as doctors here, who had worked wonders with the ailment but at $25 per session it was very expensive for me as I was very short of money having been unemployed for a long time prior to finding a job in January 1990. Some days later, when trying to decide whether to have the final four treatment sessions, I recalled the dream and did not hesitate.

Addendum 23.04.10. It was not until the mid nineties that my neck started giving me problems again and, then, I was able to treat it myself with my “self-healing by meditational focus”.

☛ “Seven years of . . . . . . . . .”.

Date: 02.12.93 Time: Just before waking - a.m.

Dream: A book about “Seven years of . . . . . . . . .”

Colour: Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Perplexity!

Interpretation: I can think of nothing in the sense of a prediction or anything to which this would relate.

Tag:

☛ Social Security Office.

Date: 06.12.93 Time: During afternoon nap.

Preamble: In life I am having a dispute with my section managers over the matter of my appointment being confirmed after the probationary period of three months and the union representative seems to be in cohorts with management instead of looking after my interests.

Dream: I am in the office of the Dept. of Social Security where I work There is a partition around my section manager’s desk on which is a “seek me” display. The

partition is white and bare and hides all that is behind it. Are they penguins swimming from left to right?

It is dark and I am suddenly lifted off my feet as I stand - exactly as if some very strong person placed his open hands on either side of my body, at hip/waist height, and simply lifted me vertically - and carried in that position and just off the ground around the partition and towards the Regional manager’s office which I notice is completely empty of furniture (and people).

I feel elated because I am in very good hands experiencing a very live event . . . . being carried through the darkness without bumping into anything.

As we near where the Regional Manager’s office should be in life, something happens - I lose faith, or feel that it may not be the best force moving me - and I bump into a couple of bits of furniture.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: I awake feeling that the elation has soured somewhat and this was followed, later, by a feeling of fear that some discarnate soul had taken over but, later still, dismissed this possibility.

Perhaps, I am being “carried through” something and had, or have, some doubt about it.

Interpretation: The screen round the section manager’s desk and my being carried past it indicate no help from that area despite the “seek me” sign. I am “carried” past this “obstacle”. Similarly, my being shown the empty Regional Manager’s office indicates that there is no help forthcoming from there. However, I am been borne through this by invisible hands.

White (screen) here = blank, void.

Note: In life this dream proved to be true as, in the end, I got no support from the union or management despite the obviously unjust determination against me. However, I took it in my stride and accepted the outcome which, actually, made life in the office a a lot easier thereafter.

☛ Four points.

Date: 28.12.93 Time: ?

Preamble: Highlights only recalled.

Dream:

1. A cattle truck full of cattle arrives late.

2. Sally arranges for me to have dinner with her for seven consecutive days and I have a “ticket” with a horizontal line of graduations on the top indicating the days.

She is happy with the arrangement and I am delighted.

3. A man, unseen and unidentified (but a friend at the place at which the truck arrived), and I agree to a program of immunisation but baulk at the insertion of a wad of herbs that looked like rumpe (Pandanus odoratum) under my skin.

4. I am with someone (the friend?) at a (building?) site strewn with building debris. The boss, or works supervisor, requires us at the office and sends little strange looking machines to summon us.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: [07.05.10] To this day, as in many of the dreams in this theme, I can offer no credible interpretation - except the ultimate outcome.

☛ Utility vehicle purchase.

Date: 19.12.93 ± Time: About 2 hours before waking.

Preamble: Dream: I am buying a utility vehicle from a lady. The price is $14,000 and it a basic Ford of some sort. I notice that the clutch and the brake pedals are square metal of only about 18 mm square and feel that this is not quite right or indicative of something. Later, I find that the chassis at the front just crumples when prodded with my finger as it is just rust. It seems that the entire car is a rust-bucket.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: Dated 08.11.94. This morning, when my mind was in idle, I recalled this dream and its meaning took shape.

The $14,000 = 5 = $5. So, I had spent/invested $5 in something which was not good and a rust bucket. I had subscribed $5 to the dating column (newspaper) to write to the lady and this was a warning not to get involved. If I had had any doubts about this they were blown away by this realisation.

Tag: vehicle: rust; price;

☛ The S Factor.

Date: 02.01.94 Time: About 2 hours before waking.

Preamble: Dream: Sally arrives at my workplace (a large office) for a part-time job. She has shortish, golden hair.

After she is interviewed she is put on full-time and everybody is happy. I realise, see in a way, that her interview check list was √√√√ all the way down. She, gleefully and with a happy smile, tells me that I am staying at her place on the Thursday night. We also arranged for me to give her a lift each evening.

The Sally becomes Delysia and we are in a section of the office, or a part of a house, with indoor plants and a phone at the far left hand corner. Delysia is reluctant to tell Norman (my brother and her husband) about things (the arrangements?) and I cannot see why as there is no reason not to do so - and I tell her so.

Colour: - Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: This is another strong dream but this seems to be fairly usual when Sally appears. It was a “good feeling” dream and I tried to get back into it as I had woken up to go to the toilet.

Interpretation: [07.05.10] To this day, as in many of the dreams in this theme, I can offer no credible interpretation - except the ultimate outcome.

Note: Again I wonder what, if anything, Sally symbolises and what Delysia’s part is.

☛ Lottery and corn.

Date: 04.01.94 Time: Last before waking.

Dream: Seemed to indicate symbolically my winning of the lottery followed by ears of corn from the tall corn plants.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: [10.05.10] Perhaps, indicating the then impending writing and publication of The Milk Is White and my subsequent writings. The golden colour of mature corn signifying truth and the tall plants healthy growth.

☛ Sally crossing a bridge.

Date: 05.01.94 Time: Just before waking - a.m.

Preamble: End of last dream.

Dream: Jason Reid announces that he has just seen Sally crossing the bridge and says, ‘Wow! What a sight!’. I then see a figure in a dark blue dress, with shortish golden hair on the bridge with her hair blowing up a bit. The bridge is a suspension bridge across the main road to “work”.

Colour: Feeling during dream: A pleasant dream as are all.

Feeling after dream: It is only after waking that I start to feel a little depressed.

Jason? Reid? “Jason and the Golden Fleece”? - an epic journey (of discovery?).

Interpretation: [07.05.10] In view of the interpretation to hand at this time the main symbolism is the crossing of the bridge (with its suspension perhaps referring to the spiritual as opposed to the worldly), the main road to (my) “work”, and the golden thoughts involved in that work, and the colour blue signifying truth.

Tag: sf; golden; hair; blue; bridge;

☛ Sally’s men.

Date: 08.01.94 Time: Between 5.25 a.m. and 6.45 a.m.

Dream: It is first thing in the morning and I am in some sort of house. I go into a room looking for Sally who is wearing a beautiful powder blue dress. Her hair is shortish and golden but she does not appear in the dream at any time.In the room is a dishevelled child’s bed, slept in and soaked. The baby has urinated.

Sally has gone out to get something and will return at any moment.

I see her man who is also looking for her. He too is somewhat dishevelled, has a pointed, foxlike face and small, greying moustache but is not old. He too goes out - to get a part for his motorcycle and I do not approve of him. I follow him into the untidy township and he goes to a car yard.

When I get back he is standing, facing right, talking to Sally who is out of sight, apparently between two sheds/buildings. He complains, ‘As soon as that man entered your life . . . . .’ and breaks off when he sees me. Later he returns on his motorcycle and walks towards me and I study him. He is shortish and squarish, hair straight and parted in the centre and lying loosely horizontally. Under his jeans he appears to have advanced hydrocele*. I think to myself, disapprovingly, something like, ‘Why does she have to have a man such as this?’ The feeling was more sad than disapproving.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: The theme was Sally’s imminent return and the image of the powder blue dress and golden hair. The blue felt positive and gave off “good vibes”.

Feeling after dream: Interpretation: [07.05.10] Sally’s beautiful blue dress and golden hair symbolize the truth and truth in her. Her man, possibly, symbolizes the doubters or their doubt.

The crotchety man may represent me, Ian, and the observer me the soul.

Note: 24.04.10. *Within about two years I developed hydrocele which had to be periodically drained until fixed by minor surgery some few years later.

Date: 15.01.94 ± Time: Assume early morning. End of meditation.

Preamble: Unsure whether meditation or dream. It could be a dream developing from meditation.

☛ Seeking help.

Date: 21.01.94 Time: Early morning.

Preamble: Before meditation this morning I was seeking a solution to my inability to work out the complexities of my dreams.

Meditation: Complete.

After meditation: Not long after meditation it occurred to me that there appeared to be a connection between the dream of 22.02.93 - my Dept. of Social Security work and the # 10 - and that of 02.01.94 - Sally getting a job at the same office.

Interpretation: N/A Tag: meditation;

☛ Note 21.01.94 I have been wondering about the symbolism of Sita in the dream of 23.03.92 and after a bit of research find and remember that, in the Indian tale of Rama and Sita, Sita is kidnapped and taken across the water to the island of Lanka (Sri Lanka today).

Hanuman, the monkey god, helps in her return to Rama.

The only other dream involving a monkey or monkeys is that in 1989/90? Where I was taking monkeys out of the “Book” and putting them out to mature. Now, at the time of this entry (24.04.10), I distinctly recall this as part of the above dream although I cannot explain its absence from the above entry. The “Book” referred to above was The Book of Life of Christianity - the equivalent of the Akashic Records.

Tag: akashic records; sita;

☛ Note 22.01.94 I have a deep feeling that all is well; that everything is falling into place. There are, at time, little doubts, question marks and me wondering whether I am doing the right things but I realise that these are to be expected as I am, after all, in the human mould.

It is possible, but not probable, that the property in Coomera (in the current lottery) is not the one (defense mechanism at work?), but something is coming - something, perhaps, to make sense of many dreams and related experiences.

☛ Female vocal greeting.

Date: 26.03.94 Time: At the very last, immediately before wakening.

Heard: An unidentified female voice, as if seeing me after a long time, called out loud, ‘E E E E A N!’ in surprised greeting.

Colour: Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: No idea!

Tag: voice; Note: This happened in daylight when I was on my way to work in about 1987.

A perfectly clear and firm voice from the back seat of my empty car, empty apart from me that is, saying, ‘Your woman is alright!’ The voice was soundless!

☛ Lorraine.

Date: 04.04.94 Time: Night, over a long time.

Preamble: Even continuing over awake breaks due to a toothache. What is entered below has to be only the end of the dream.

Dream: Lovingly farewelling Lorraine, a long time friend, who is dressed in white and about 25 years old and who is going somewhere - to join her boyfriend perhaps. I too leave, and on the street pass under a balcony where a lady resembling Rosalind Dohnal* and/or Coral** bids me goodbye. I am on my way to live with some musicians. * I seem to recollect a person I worked with having this name. ** A niece if mine.

☛ Meditation.

Date: 16.04.94 Time: ?

Meditation: During the preparation I talk to my spirit guide asking for some clue as to what lay ahead.

At the end of about 50 minutes meditation on the “screen” appears a group photograph quickly followed by another. All in the photographs are males and the photographs are a bluish colour.

Accompanying the second photograph is a mental flash, not a picture of a flash, of something positive.

Interpretation: [10.05.10] Hence, lying ahead is positive truths for males or the male aspect (Yang) of people? The successive photographs may signify one set of truths followed by another as happened two years later and thereafter.

☛ The S Factor.

Date: 27.04.94 Time: Possibly going from 2.35 a.m. To 5.30 a.m. When I awoke.

Dream: 1. I am looking for Sally 2. I see her with her son going down a narrow crooked path between rocks.

3. At the bottom is a warren like house with many rooms let to poor people.

4. There is a young, slim, Sri Lankan looking man who appears to be “close” to Sally.

5. Eventually, I find her room the door of which is open and I look inside.

6. It is a tiny room in which there is a small single bed and, beside it, a 2’ x 2’ table. The bed is tidily made and has a light green cover (with red markings?) and the table has a light green cloth. I was very relieved to notice the single bed.

7. There is what looks like a Roman Catholic or Christian shrine on the table plus what seems like streamers. The shrine is not visible - more of a feeling.

8. Later, Sally and I meet on the path. Her hair is long and red, though not dark red, and she is wearing a royal blue dress.

9. We kiss and hug passionately.

10. She says, ‘We have not done it yet, but we will.’

11. There is a problem regarding the room but the landlord, a a kind man who seems to own and run the whole warren (Tim?) says that if we pay a deposit all will be okay.

The deposit is paid.

12. At some stage I see the slim, dark man, at Sally’s door, talking to her, and it is obvious that he is a caring friend who has been looking after her. This is a relief to me - a touch of jealousy!

13. The feeling I got towards, and at, the end was of elation but disbelief that our coming together again occurs. It seems like a reality but in a different world.

Colour: Colour Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: [07.05.10] Re 7. The Christian content of my writings?

Re 8. Royal blue = high quality of the truth; long, red hair = long, new life, possibly for those learning the truth.

Re 9. My affinity with my “work”.

Re 10. In 1996, when the book was written, this statement would have applied.

Re 13. Similar to what I experienced when writing the book.

☛ Meditation.

Date: 12.05.94 Time: ?

Meditation: I prayed again to The Great Spirit and White Feather† for a clear resolution of my Sally dilemma. I also reiterated my strong wish that NOTHING I think or request has any part in any breakup between Sally and Tim. This has been a concern of mine for some time.

This meditation lasted for almost an hour and felt deep and good for some considerable time.

Sequel: Not long afterwards, when washing my hands they appeared to be unusually clean* - they are usually very clean anyway, and I said in surprise, ‘ My hands are clean!.

It immediately felt as if this was a sign, a message, telling me “my hands were clean” where Tim and Sally were concerned. *Note: My hands appeared to be a different colour in some strange way - unnaturally pale clean. I was, actually, rather puzzled! Hence my remark. †I was told in about 1987 that White feather was my spirit guide.

☛ A Realisation.

Date: 31.05.94 ± Time: When fully awake and possibly in the garden.

Realisation: My thoughts go back from matter in all its forms to our bodies, to the body’s chemical composition, to the atoms of the chemicals to sub-atomic energy and so on until I reach the pre-energy state, “The state of bliss”. I feel and understand (the possibility of ?) what that state is like i.e. I experience our state of being when we return to our starting point. It is indescribably beautiful - although beautiful is hardly the correct word.

☛ Bread and the timetable.

Date: 08.06.94 Time: Assume last thing before waking.

Preamble: A long dream and in an illusive Dewalakande situation. By this I mean intuitively at Dewalakande but not apparently so. What follows is the end of the dream.

Dream: I am with a bright, light green motorcycle which is spotless. Then I notice that it is not new but extremely well detailed even to the extent that the tyre treads have been painted. I notice that the tread is well worn.

1. I ride off and go through a crowded main street at considerable speed and between two push cyclists, pushing them aside. No harm or damage occurs.

2. I am in a room which seems like a police station but no one is wearing a uniform. On my left are three people apparently after involvement in a minor accident. An official is present in front of me and damages are awarded to one of the three for damage to the bread he had with him. The bread was in a plastic bag hanging from a hook. The

bag split open and the bread fell out. It looked like pieces of Naan - unleavened bread.

3. I have travelled further along the, now dirt, road at a good speed and am stopped at a sign. There is a fairly old man present. We are well ahead of the timetable, there are only 9 mile to go and we will reach the destination by motorcycle well ahead of the schedule which is 20 minutes. The schedule/timetable seems to be that of a train.

4. [Last night I watched a TV program about reading timetables] Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: A good, strong, positive feeling for some time.

Interpretation: Note on 31.10.94 with reference to # 2 above: Bread = food for thought = knowledge = books; train = on track.

Some months previously I had ordered and paid nearly $500 for a set of books containing all the Cayce Readings these did not reach me despite having been re-posted twice as they were returned with the advice from the postal authorities in Australia that I was not at that address which was, inexplicably, not true. Finally, as I was broke, I decided to ask for my money instead the books and the A.R.E. kindly agreed without quibble.

So, with reference to #2, there is someone in authority involved [postal authorities?] and there is a minor accident [consignment of books undelivered twice]. Books [bread] were not delivered [fell out of the plastic (mail) bag] so damages were awarded [refund made] no doubt all organized by the authority - the power or powers that be!

Regarding the bread falling out of the bag etc.

Note: The Cayce Readings state that an officer of one of the services depicts authority, and in my experience such officers symbolize guidance, advice, guardian etc.

☛ Insight 1.

Date: 09.06.94 Time: Post meditation.

Activity: I feel that there is a connection between the dream of 27.04.90, item 3, and that of 27.04.94 (Well, well, well, same date four years apart!). For one, the curtain in the former and table cloth in the latter are similar; two - both are about a room. I also feel that the above two dreams and that of 08.06.94 may be connected with, and leading up to, an imminent change in life as symbolised by the colour red and, in that of 08.06.94, 9 miles ( which may = 9 days). However, we are “ahead of the time table” so it may be less than 9 days. I am aware that this may all be rather far fetched!!

Anyway, apart from any speculation the feeling was that the three dreams were connected. Time will tell.

10.05.10. Note: In February or March 1995, eight to nine months after the above and as a result of prior synchronistic events, I moved to Maleny where The Milk Is White was written and my subsequent writings followed.

☛ Insight 2.

Date: 19.06.94 Time: ?

Preamble: See also 26.09.93 which I reproduce below for convenience: Date: 26.09.93 Time: During or at the end of afternoon nap.

Preamble: Dream: Early part: Using a trailer I am removing a pile of dead branches from a garden.

Later part: Sally’s car is parked in the carport outside a bedroom or house in which I am. I go out and, apparently sneakily, look at it. It is bright yellow, has two children’s safety seats in it and dents (as if she had had a minor accident). There is also her friend’s car - a visitor. This car is purple and has little wheels, about 8” - 9” in diameter. Then Sally’s car has similar wheels and the car move, or are moved, into a horizontal T configuration with the purple one blocking the yellow.

Next, I walk into the main house where Delysia is standing by a table and Sally (but does not look like her*) and the other girl are sitting at it. They all appear to be studying some books. Delysia turns to me and signals the question, ‘What is this?’ and makes the sign of the exclamation mark i.e. The index finger moving vertically downwards and ending in a stab to mark a dot.

I tell them.

Next, I am sitting at the table, Delysia has gone, Sally is standing to the left of me and her friend is sitting opposite me. The friend is attractive, but not as attractive as Sally, and is wearing an orange coloured top. Sally is in bright yellow and both are blonde. I feel that the friend is the alternative to Sally. I am somewhat reluctant about this and study the friend’s face.

Sally moves over to me and makes full body contact, then moves away backwards to my left and, as she continues to move away, we all joke about the two perfect holes in each of two of her upper teeth. I point out that the holes are only on one side whereas those in her friend’s teeth are balanced - two on either side of centre. It is remarkable that the holes are perfectly lined with tooth enamel; not just drilled holes or caries.

I look at her friend and she grows on me.

Activity: I am outside, in the quiet of dawn, and the dream of 26.09.93 surfaces as well as an interpretation which, after subsequent meditation/contemplation, is as follows: 1. Me clearing away a pile of dead branches symbolises my getting rid of “dead wood”.

2. Sally’s yellow car and dents. [from Cayce, yellow = sunshine, mind, cowardice, “yellow streak”] The dents may symbolize the buffeting of life and the yellow any one of those suggested by the Cayce Readings.

3. Sally’s friend and the other car symbolize another aspect of her with purple being a colour of royalty and spirituality. However, due to the nature of its very small wheels, this car is not going very far. It is blocking the yellow car. Thus the purple car is to take over from the yellow one.

4. Delysia, I have come to realise, is a symbol of high ideals and activity - the qualities she has demonstrated in her life. She, there, appears as a symbol of my spiritual self in my dreams.

5. ! The exclamation mark = Could be surprise, emphasis or humour.

6. Sally, the “physical” diminishes and a “soul” relationship takes its place.

7. The holes in the teeth indicate previous words/actions which were only half true, correct or possible become balanced and full. (See 13.10.94) Tag: neoption; vehicle; Delysia; yellow; purple;

☛ Guava seeds.

Date: 16.07.94 Time: 6.30 p.m.

Preamble: Dream: I am in someone else’s house and on my own for the night. I have been sleeping after a few beers when visitors arrive. There is a power failure and I am groping around looking for the light switches and touch beer bottles etc. The male visitor is staying the night while the wife and children are going to what may be a horse show.

The man tells me that Mr. Cobra, who saw me off at the airport when I left many years ago was sending me something like a gift.

Next, it is still rather dark and I am at a table near a door when Delysia appears dressed in a white sari. She is very caring and understanding and tells me not to boil the centres* of the guavas when doing what I have been doing. She strokes my face and conveys that I have not caused any problems, that tomorrow is the 3rd and that it will be over in a month.

* The soft centre of a guava containing the very hard seeds.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: The expected puzzlement but with the knowledge that in due course I will have the answer/s.

Interpretation: I wonder whether Delysia symbolizes my spirit guide. She seems to appear as my conscience or my higher self or similar.

The events that followed the dream on 18.08.94 suffice!

1. I cannot understand the part up to the gift from Mr. Cobra. (26.04.10. At the time of the dream I wondered whether the cobra had anything to do with the enlightenment of the Buddha. A cobra is said to have given him shelter during the meditation that lead to his final enlightenment and this theme is often seen in Buddhist frescoes.

Since 1954, however, my awareness of the Reality has got closer and closer to that of the Buddha until it is now almost the same. In this light “Mr. Cobra, who saw me off at the airport when I left many years ago was sending me something like a gift.” makes sense. Also, in 1994, it was many years since I left Sri Lanka from an airport to come to Australia where circumstances conspired to bring my spiritual aspirations to fruition.

2. During the morning of the 18th Valentine, my brother-in-law, a doctor in the interstate town where Mum was resident, phoned to tell me that on the 16th Mum had suffered a collapsed ventricle and was taken to hospital; that she had subsequently developed renal failure and appeared to be “on her way out”.

Apparently, she was unable to recognise anyone.

3. During the evening of 18th Valentine phoned to say that Mum had “passed on” at 2 p.m.

Further interpretation at the time or soon after: The phrase “the centres of the guavas” is a reference to the place where the seeds are; the seeds being hard bits and used as a metaphor for the hard bits in life.

Since the anniversary of Mum’s 100th birthday on 25.11.93, when she suffered collapsed lumbar vertebrae, she was in great pain and I was concerned about her suffering. I prayed for this to be minimised to the maximum degree possible because there might be a karmic need for this as part of her spiritual growth.

So, in the dream my spirit self/guide was telling me that life is like making jam, a sweet process, though with hard bits in it. Thus, when being concerned about her pain I should realise that it was a small part of a positive and beneficial process which, in any event, would be over in a month.

I see the discrepancy in regard to a month, as specified in the dream, and the actual month and two days it took like this: According to Valentine, Mum was in a coma or semi coma from the time of her renal failure and I equate this with the analogy of a chicken with its head cut off running around as if alive - Mum’s soul departed, or mostly so, on the 16th leaving the body apparently alive.

Regarding “tomorrow is the 3rd “, according to the Cayce Readings the #3 = great strength.

☛ The S Factor.

Date: 12.09.94 Time: Just before waking - a.m. The last of a long dream not recalled.

Preamble: Dream: In a housing estate, cheap and rather squalid, I meet Sally. Her son, about four years old is with her* and she is seated in short, dull white shorts, her hair is greyish or

brown and her complexion a dull brown. She looks old in the face and has a hooked, wrinkled nose with protrusions on it but unlike portrayed in caricatures of witches.

The boy bends down and sort of chews at her upper thigh and gives the impression of being troublesome.

Although I am present we may not have talked and I am partly detached from the scene.

I have a feeling of sadness and have the feeling that, despite her looks and the overall sense of adversity? despair? squalor? - none of these fit - I should help her.

Then I see tacky houses and evidence of a sleazy developer in shoddy work, tiny blocks (sites) etc.

Later I watch a boy and a girl in their late ‘teens buying assorted nibbles like fried grated apples. I then awake.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: [07.05.10] Perhaps, a general reference to my life situation, and or life, at the time. This although I have not had any noticeable difficulty with quickly adjusting to various life problems occurring along the Way. Note: *Her son would be about this age at the time of the dream.

Tag: sf;

☛ Note on 08.11.94: Since 12.09.94 dream activity has continued but faded on awakening despite, at times, attempts at recall. There was one time where I said to my son-in-law, as he was passing me in the house, ‘Bronwyn has died.’ and, soon after this Bronwyn, his mother, damaged her spine and was in great pain.

I have taken the general situation to be a lull - a rest, so to speak.

☛ Love Divine.

Date: 21.12.94 Time: Early morning.

Meditation & after: As evidenced in previous notes my “love” of Sally - mainly because of persistent dreams - has been an unresolved matter and one causing me considerable confusion.

Today, prior to meditation or during the prayer/meditation preamble, I think I again touched on buying a raffle ticket to facilitate a Learning Centre.

This meditation, for the first time, seemed to focus on Jesus. No visions or pictures but somehow a mental focus which had no carryover impression. It was a dark picture. Not long after meditation I felt that I had to open the Bible for nonspecific advice. Instead of the Bible I took out the Aquarian Gospel Of Jesus The Christ, let it open, and placed my finger at random on the page. My finger was on line 17, Chapter 53: Jesus passes the sixth brotherhood test and receives the sixth degree - Love Divine.

Ever since I first read this book many years ago it was this chapter that impressed me most because of its beauty and because I thought that this would be the most difficult to accomplish as I have always realised that this Test is essential on the path to enlightenment but the dreams and messages seemed to indicate that this was something I would have to do later as Sally’s return, due to the physical presence, would, or could, involve other than purely platonic love although I was aware of the possibility of a pure and simple cohabitation as a means to a mutual purpose or mission e.g. The ‘Quo Vadis?’ project.

It seems that I now have to reassess my interpretation of the numerous dreams as a means to passing this test.

☛ The S Factor.

Date: 21.01.95 Time: Afternoon.

Preamble: Dream: I am looking for the illusive Sally who I saw with a Sri Lankan lady dressed in a white sari with blue and purple markings. Sally was similarly dressed. Both looked “nunnish”. Next, I am with the lady, who is an aunt and looks like a mixture of my aunt Harriet and my aunt Millie etc. I ask about Sally. She clutches her hand to her breast and talks about RITA - referring to sally - waffling on about some doctor, possibly her son, a white albino child born to him and a camp which I see as a commune like, New Age place. Repeatedly ask, ‘Which camp?’ as that is where Sally seems to be. I feel that Sally needs help.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: Later, in the garden, I wonder whether by Rita the lady meant Sita and then my mind flipped to the Jesus dream (21.12.94). I wondered whether that, dark, Jesus was a past life recollection (see Expo of 14.01.95) of me as the Teacher/Master in India who decided not to marry. Hence, the reference to the Sixth Test. If so, was this a reminder of the past only or an exhortation for a repeat this time? Was Sita (Sally?) the lady in that life? Intriguing!

☛ Power lines.

Date: 28.01.95 Time: As I was waking. Probably at Conandale.

Preamble: Jill was my landlady in Conandale. She lived on a 3 acre block abutting a river in an undeveloped area.

Dream: Something to the effect that Jills’ home was over to the right where the power lines are or Jill’s house is over the (that) hill and down where the power lines are.

Colour: Yes Note: Power was supplied from power lines along the road but these were clearly not the power lines referred to in the dream.

Feeling after dream: Interpretation: [10.05.10] Perhaps, that my stay in Jill’s dilapidated shed beside her house was over and the power lay over that hill to the right (looking out of the front of her house) which was where Maleny town was and to which I moved in about April.

☛ I marry.

Date: 29.03.95 Time: 5 a.m. + Preamble: A recalled dream after a long time. A planter is the term given to one who manages a plantation.

Dream: It is about a planters’ dance in Sri Lanka.

A young blonde girl dressed in pink and having a face like that of the High Priestess in Tarot cards falls in love with me and we are to be married. Her father has black hair and moustache and is wearing a light blue (denim colour) shirt and dark tie. He has a concave cheek some (war?) injury it seems. He approves of this marriage but there is doubt about the mother’s approval when she is told. The father is to go in his car and the girl and I in my jeep like vehicle. There are a few minor traffic problems on the way but we are happy.

Colour: Yes Feeling during dream: Very good and loving.

Feeling after dream: Very good and loving.

Interpretation: Perhaps, the planters’ dance is to do with the planting of the seeds of knowledge. The blonde girl and the High Priestess symbolize my “mission” which has the authority of the father who favours mystical thinking (black hair) and the truth (blue

shirt) but there is doubt about the approval of half the population. The authority is independent of the progress of myself and my “mission” and I encounter some minor challenges in its implementation. I cannot give a meaning to the concave cheek.

☛ Table tennis.

Date: 16.09.95 Time: Just before waking - a.m.

Preamble: c.1988 I used to play table tennis very well at the social/office level.

Dream: I am pressed into a table tennis tournament at (what appears to be) school and play for a very long time. There are drains and water around - no floor but soil. I am playing some unplayable shots of a very high standard but also miss many due to my being out of practice. There is no indication of the score.

Interspersed, I return to a plantation that is all in blue* and greet old friends but this time recognition is not as good - it is if time has passed.

At one stage I was travelling underground in caverns amongst roots of trees.

Colour: Yes. *No bright colours but all a sort of blue and blue/green.

Feeling during dream: Neutral.

Interpretation: [10.05.10] I take on the challenge of learning over a very long time about the fundamentals (no floor but soil) and the elimination of emotions (water) or the cleansing of all but the fundamentals. In this task I have great capacity and experience but need practice. In the process I recover lost knowledge (old friends) of the truth (blue).

Part of my search takes me into the subconscious and the superconscious to get to the root of things apparent on the surface. *Blue = true; green = growth.

☛ Plantation.

Date: 18.09.95 Time: Just before waking - a.m.

Dream: On a plantation flirting* with a young tea plucker and hitting her playfully with a large, empty plastic bottle which had changed from a tall cup trophy. She was being coy as would one of her station. There were other women present and all were in blue saris with silver speckles i.e. like metallic car paint. * It seemed as if we were betrothed.

Colour: Yes.

Feeling during dream: Good - as is to be expected.

Feeling after dream: Interpretation: [10.05.10] My “mission” is exposed to the youth of the day who, in their ideals, eschew quality (trophy) for spiritual vacuity (empty plastic bottle). The youth are understandably coy. However, there are the mature and the Yin influenced who recognise the truth (blue) and the divine force (silver). *The unity between me and my “mission”.

Tag: plantation; blue; silver; predictive;

☛ Train.

Date: 07.10.95 Time: Just before waking - a.m.

Preamble: Only the end recalled Dream: A long train is parked at a station half way around a gradual curve of the track to the right with the engine nearly at the end of the platform and the rear end well before the start of the platform (which is also curved). The engine is black and Delysia is in the cab. There are many people inside the train and all are Indonesian. All, including Delysia and I, are going to commit suicide but all is matter of fact - no joy, no fear, no sadness but, perhaps a slight sombreness - as if this were necessary business.

People on the platform and in the car park are Australia as is the station mistress who has her back to the platform and is busy with her work. All are unaffected by the train or the people on it.

From the car park where I was looking for a male friend to say, ‘Goodbye’ I walk along the train on the trackside to the cab where Delysia and I discuss what we are going to do.

This conversation is quite matter of fact.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: The train is pointing away from the “viewer” and towards the right in an arc. = the right direction.

Many carriages are in line = A sequence of events along the line culminating in the engine.

Indonesians = Indonesia - many islands (= events) spread widely over the ocean ( = of life).

The train points in the same direction as my boat* on the sea. [* In my writing I refer to my metaphorically keeping my hand on the rudder and the prow of my boat point north but it is, actually, pointing northeast.

Suicide and black engine on the track = death and, therefore, rebirth or renewal - on track.

Conclusion: A sequence of events related to my life, together with other events elsewhere in the “sea” (my life), coming together to an end and, therefore, a new beginning. The “idea”, or proposed action, emanating from my self [Ian] and my Spirit Self [as symbolised by Delysia], is to make a new beginning.

☛ Note of 08.10.95 Some years ago I had a neoption of something about a book and. ‘Seven years of . . . . . . . ‘ Today, I used my pendulum to investigate this and the answer was that Seven years of Sally is not one to be written but a book to be revealed to me.

N.B. I wrote the book The Milk Is White in about April 1996.

☛ 4 Dreams.

Date: 13.10.95 Time: From about 4 a.m. to 6 a.m.

Preamble: Recalled snippets of a montage of dreams in roughly this order.

Dream: 1. A highly romantic piece involving Angela, me and something to do with her wedding or marriage. The overall outcome, sensation or message is/was one of heightened love as opposed to passion.

2. I see four or five airport runways or flight paths for large planes such as 747s going northwards and upwards from the central point of the airport (as in the profile of a wide, stemmed wine glass) in a hilly, built up area.

3. A situation in which I, and perhaps another man, have to attend an occasion in navy blue uniforms which are very, very smart but I, not having the uniform, wear my superb moleskin blazer and Knightsbridge daks and, somehow, very closely approximate the required uniform whilst the resultant appearance is as good as, or better than, that required.

4. A young Arab man is demonstrating to me his swimming prowess in the sea. It is pathetic from my point of view but for him - even as I see it - very good. I think that I could dive in, go to the rock face on the other side, about twenty feet away, and return without a single stroke but do not do so.

Colour: Yes. Feeling after dream: On waking I did not intend recording these dreams but they lead to such heightened feeling of unqualified positive expectation that I was constrained to do so. Even now, over an hour from waking, I am still “not here” - as if I am merely

observing the world around me. I am very excited but literally unable to think about what this means. It is just nonspecific heightened, positive expectation.

Interpretation: [10.05.10] Re Part 1. The S Factor again.

Re Part 2. Emanating from me are five major, positive choices in an environment of challenges (hills) and materialism (built up area).

Re Part 3. Two aspects of me, perhaps the spiritual and the worldly, have to participate in something regarding the high quality truth (blue uniform). Not feeling adequately equipped, I do the best I can and this, in the end, proves to be “as good as, or better than that required”.

R Part 4. Possibly a comparison between my view of the way the Muslim religion is taught and the reality as I know it.

☛ The silent money jar.

Date: 12.10.95 Time: 3.30 p.m.

Preamble: Mum died on 18.08.94 aged 100 years.

Dream: Something to do with four of us, Mum, I and, perhaps, Sharmin and David (my daughter and son-in-law) having a money jar for money for champagne. It seems that I have drunk champagne on four occasions. Mum and I are seated at a table and she looks about sixty. She has the large, clear jar in her hands and is moving it about in front of her, though without shaking it, but there is no sound from the coins in it. I realise that I have not put in my $10 note as I should have done and that I do not have the money!

Mum then says, without any emotion, ‘Neither do I!’ Colour: Yes. Interpretation: The fact that the money makes no sound in the jar may symbolise that money has no intrinsic value. That Mum is no longer on Earth may mean that, where she is, is more real than on Earth and that, similarly, money is not “real”.

Since I know this the purpose of the dream may be to quieten the small concerns I have regarding making ends meet. Mum may be symbolic or have actually made contact but I have no feeling about the latter if it is so. Pity!

[10.05.10] I wish my family members would partake of the champagne quality spiritual knowledge I have acquired but they do not have the ability as their interests lie with other valueless things (the soundless coins in the money jar). I realise that I should have tried to help them but could not.

Psychic reading regarding the S factor.

Date: 21.10.95 I Ching Reading by Norma of Conandale in response to the question, ‘What is the Sally factor in Ian’s life?’

Answer.

1. It is like a fire which comes from the depths and blazes up, illuminating and beautifying the mountain.

2. Consider the substance which lies beneath the surface. Appearances count for little in this.

3. If there is any Sally factor which requires addressing it is to advance your own creative energy. Because you are in harmony with your Higher Self - which could be viewed as the Sally factor (she being as an ideal or an idea) it is in your better interests, or the interests of your higher work, to be forthcoming into the public arena.

Summary: The Sally factor is that of the channelling of the wisdom of the inner self, which is Yin, the feminine, through to the outer, thus being as fire on the mountain.

Norma explains thus: The fire of the molten lava coming up from inside the mountain and being deposited on the outside.

My post reading feeling: My previous, and recent, prayers regarding the removal of the froth and bits and pieces on the surface of the water have been answered. The water is now still. There is deep, deep still ness and peace.

☛ Guidance from a policeman.

Date: 03.11.95 Time: 4 a.m.

Preamble: Dream: I am driving a state of the art sports car and somehow go up a one way street the wrong way. I end up in a wrought iron fenced, circular area with no apparent way out. A British policeman - but Sinhalese in appearance and speaking Sinhala* - shows me the way out and we arrange that I later give him $20 for the favour. * Sinhalese and Sinhala refer to the race and language of the people of Sri Lanka.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: I am doing well in my spiritual life but take a wrong turn and get lost and fenced in but am guided out by my “authority”, or spirit self. According to Cayce the number 2, like all even numbers, is not a strong number so the benefit of this guidance is not likely to amount to much. In Numerology the number two indicates, in general terms, a special strength.

☛ Plantations.

Date: 08.01.96 Time: Assume just before waking.

Preamble: Many pleasant and positive dreams to date this year but none recalled.

Peter Innes became manager of Holyrood in about 1960. He was also a good friend of mine. Though about fifteen years my senior.

Tangakelle was another senior plantation in our Company.

Dream: 1. Peter Innes is apparently moving out. I am going to Tangakelle not Holyrood and there is a little regret. I tap the surface of the road leading up to Tangakelle and recognise that it is sealed (bitumen) and sound. Tangakelle itself does not feature in any form and the “setting” seems to be Holyrood. It seemed that I have about three years on Tangakelle before retirement.

2. The very last segment. Two books suddenly arrive in front of me from Jim at the Maleny Book Shop but, instead of Divine Triangles I have a sky blue, or powder blue, book with the title SKY in dark blue capital letters about 5 cm high. The second book disappears.

There was much more but not recalled.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: I accept that I must go where I am sent. [This acceptance also applied in my life where the Company was concerned. Some managers quibbled.]

Interpretation: 1. Re. 1. I am/was either trying to make a choice between Holyrood and Tangakelle or was being told that it is the latter - a temporary diversion from the path to Holyrood.

2. Re. 2. I wish for, or will be given, or have, access to the Akashic Records (SKY, the Sanskrit and Sinhala word for which is akasha) for divining purposes.

☛ Buriyani.

Date: 24.01.96 Time: ?

Preamble: Last night I asked to be given the title of the book if I am to write one.

At some time before this I made notes for a book and, therefore, when reading the last chapter of The World Within felt an urge to write about the “essential teachings�.

Dream: Towards the end I am in an Indian town. There are many people around as if it is festival time. I pass, perhaps a few times, a multi-storied buriyani house where hundreds are being fed. It is very busy.

I am driving slowly along a very wide, one way, road and on the right hand side I am confronted by a tramcar coming towards me. It stops at a tram stop and I stop. A man comes over and tells me that it is a tram stop implying that I am not doing the correct thing. I move off to the left, away from the tram tracks, and proceed as I had intended.

Later, I am with a smallish young man in an area with marquees, like a fairground, where there are hundreds of people, all Eastern looking but many, or most, European women with there saris over their heads queuing for nominally priced, no frills, buriyani meals. My friend and I decide to eat there and he clears a small table for us. The two of us did not seem to talk at all.

I look into my cigarette packet where there are a few, apparently smoked, cigarettes and realise that I may run out of them.

By the time I awoke we had not got food.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Neutral.

Feeling after dream: Interpretation: This is about food for thought - the Truth or Reality.

Many are searching for it at many levels. The Way or Path is very wide and, in an Indian town, my views are challenged by others who consider themselves on the right track though going the opposite way (perhaps a reference to Hinduism). In my writings I avoid confrontation and go on my way.

In a more European, western setting the scene is repeated and I pause to partake but do not do so.

The sentence about the cigarettes may be a about the cancer on my tongue and its removal in two months. One of the physical causes of the cancer was smoking and from the day of the operation I did not smoke.

☛ The keyboard.

Date: Between 08.01.96 & 02.02.96 Time: Early morning.

Preamble: There is no sound in this.

Meditation: During meditation a computer keyboard floats down accompanied by the “words” ‘The answer lies in the keyboard.’

Colour: Probably yes, although the keyboard was black.

Feeling after: This meant nothing to me but I was aware that, as always, in due course it would.

Result: Within a matter of days, responding to an impulse, I jotted down a list of chapter headings, took out my old word-processor/typewriter and for 7½ hours per day for 5 weeks I typed. The material flowed unhindered as if from a reservoir and often some of it amazed me. I had to set it all out comprehensibly but, as it turned out, everything was in the correct order despite the absence of any planning.

Tags: meditation; the book; predictive;

☛ The tram.

Date: 02.02.96 Time: Up to waking.

Preamble: A very long dream Dream: I am at the east end of the train line of a big city by the coast. The ocean is to the left which is the East. Naomal* is with me as we walk away from the terminus which has no building, and asks where we are. A tram driver in a tram, which is more like a “jeep-nick” than a tram, and not on the rails, stops and asks if we want to get on to go back. We say, ‘No’ and walk away to the East. * A second-cousin and schoolmate of mine I haven’t seen for over forty years. No special symbolism I can think of.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: [11.05.10]This seems to be about the Alpha and the Omega - the beginning and the end. The sun rises in the East and the ocean is there too in this dream.

I, and that part of me that I see in Naomal (possibly wealth, because he came from a rich family), am on my journey to the “end of the line” which is not a building i.e. material or phenomenal, and am tempted to give up the journey by foot for a vehicle which is not on track but refuse and continue walking.

☛ Paymaster’s window.

Date: 03.02.96 Time: Assume just before waking.

Preamble: End of dream.

Dream: I am at a paymaster’s window, at what seems like a prison or an A.C.I. Fibreglass office where I once worked, wearing a light blue, work issue shirt.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: [11.05.10] c.1987, when I was working at A.C.I. Fibreglass I was overpaid by over $400 for one week. I went to the paymaster’s office and returned the money. A couple of months later the same thing happened and I decided I would not, again, attempt to correct the inefficiencies rampant in the Company and did not return the money. This time the overpayment was discovered and I had to pay it back at a small sum per week (on the insistence of the Union).

This dream may have been telling me something relative to, or comparable with, that moral situation and involving the truth (blue work issue shirt).

I contracted silicosis while working at A.C.I. Fibreglass.

☛ The young Buddhist monk.

Date: 03.02.96 Time: 5.15 a.m.

Preamble: Lucid dream.

Dream: A long dream ends with me and a young Buddhist monk aged 16 - 18 years and an anonymous other person (I think). The monk wants to come later to talk with me about things spiritual. I look at him and think - on a conscious level it seems - that that would be very interesting. I think about what we can discuss, what I can tell him that would surprise him.[Was there a touch of superiority in this?] There was something about another monk, previously, only calling on me. He, the latter one, was from the long ago dreamed about series of dreams about a village, near the “dream Dewalakande”, in the paddy fields around which I used to shoot snipe.

At this time I was woken by the slamming of a door due to storm winds where I was living.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: [11.05.10] This young monk has often arisen in my conscious mind over the years and I have wondered about his symbolism. He could be a reminder of my first reading of material on the Buddha, Siddhartha Gauthama, c.1945 or affirming the similarity of my awareness of the Reality with that of this Buddha; a similarity which has become more pronounced with the passage of time.

Tags: buddhism;

☛ A challenge.

Date: 10.02.96 Time: p.m.

Preamble: When conscious.

Realisation: When reading the Upanishads I came across the inspired teachings of men and women for whom the transcendental Reality called God was more real than the world reported to them by their senses. My “mind” drifted to the realisation that this state seemed to be where I am. It then drifted to letting my hair and beard grow and to my wearing “priestly” clothes the colour of the canna flower which had so struck me a couple of days before - the luminous orangy colour of molten lava.

My mind started thinking mundane things like how I would look, that I would attract attention etc. - negatives brought on by worldly considerations but, deep down, I felt that to let the change in appearance occur would be an acceptance of my state of being and essentially more uncomfortable than normal appearance and dress. [On 30.04.10 I am unsure as to the meaning of this italicized phrase.]I also pondered the similarity between this and those worn by Buddhist monks, Ananda Marga dadas, Sai Baba etc. and, although I understood the reason for their attire, I tried, without success, to find some alternative such as a combination of orange and white. All this was dreamlike - as if I was in another dimension; that this was the way to be for its own sake; and that all the negatives were stemming from the senses. [On 30.04.10 I am unsure as to the meaning of this italicized phrase. There seems to be a weighing up of the pros and cons of the need for, and the wearing of, what I later term “uniforms”.]

I then remembered Mr. Samurai’s* choice of colour for his pendulum and that the closest I could get to it was the colour of molten lava, in the I Ching reading about molten lava, and the colour in the ‘Quo Vadis?’ mandala.

Even now - early a.m. on 11.02.96 I feel that I should let this expression occur but the worldly doubts manifest (persist?).

* In a psychic reading said to be a spirit guide of mine, or one contesting the position: an amusing tale in itself ! He wanted me to find a stone for use as a pendulum.

☛ Ingoya.

Date: 14.02.96 Time: a.m. Just before waking.

Preamble: Situated on the Ingoya rubber plantation* - though not visually. There are no rubber trees and the bungalow is not the Ingoya bungalow. In many of my dreams the “sense” of a place is not always matched “visually”.

Which I managed temporarily for six months in 1960.

Dream: 1. The outgoing manager is an Anthony Jonklaas type.

2. He has been very bored on the place due to its isolation and relieved his boredom by shooting game.

3. The plantation is two tiered and craggy, has two climate zones and is unproductive unprofitable.

4. I am wet, in pyjama bottoms and feeling uncomfortable. Sylvia (my ex wife) says that the doctor thinks I may be HIV positive and gives me a huge (1½ litre) injection of creamy yellow liquid just under the buttock in my right leg. There is no pain.

5. I am on the toilet, the door is ajar and the servants can see in but don’t look.

6. The Company has sold the plantation and we are waiting to hear the price or contract or similar. The buyer seems to have some idea about making it viable by linking it wit a motel on the beach.

7. The Company car is a dark red sportster of older style but fairly new. The hood is down.

8. I drive the car around into the garage and it runs well.

9. I see myself driving past the Company’s Dewalakande plantation (also rubber) exhilarated by the wind but am uneasy about sunburn.

10. Something about advertising for a silent partner to buy a good plantation for me to live on in security, and settled in retirement on a pension.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: As described. Otherwise normal.

Feeling after dream: Interpretation: [11.05.10] 1. Anthony Jonklaas was not the outgoing manager in 1960. The incoming manager after me left the Company soon after and was replaced by Antony Jonklaas who remained there until 1964. N.B. I was not aware of this until I checked The History Of Ceylon Tea web site Planters’ Register just now!

2. The virtually abandoned 500 acres or so at the top of the plantation was taken over by scrub and was home to wild animals like deer and porcupine. Anthony was an inveterate shooter.

3. Apart from the “cragginess” this was actually the case: one to about 1000’ and one from 1000’ - 1500’.

4. I get an injection of something in life.

5. Getting rid of something; purging self of something.

6. Company = the powers that be? I am only temporary. As in all previous Ingoya dreams. Is the (e)state going to be more productive?

7-9. Car (life?); red = new life; unconfined and exhilarating but am a little apprehensive (of a change)?

10. Seeking or getting finality; settling I good, stable, secure “situation”?

Is this my hope or a prediction?

9. Seeing myself is very unusual and I have a feeling that it is, generally, unusual for dreamers to see themselves.

1 - 10. I have no idea as to the meaning of the dream as a whole or in parts except for the notes I have made.

☛ A factory.

Date: 20.02.96 Time: Just before waking - a.m.

Preamble: Dream: A large, multi-level, concrete factory with ramps. In a vague way Peter Innes is present at times and, briefly, Mr. Perera*, the clerk. The feeling is of a “Holyrood” factory.

The whole place is chock a block with tractors, tea rollers and tea machinery. Some of the tractors are being repaired but there are no people. All the tractors are no longer useful.

Then I am trying to drive a good tractor out but this is frustrated by lack of space to manoeuvre.

Later I am amazed by all this junk and that it has not been disposed of.

I sense that there is another, functional, factory adjacent.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Good.

Feeling after dream: Interpretation:[11.05.10] Perhaps, the vagueness described in the first paragraph and the presence of Mr. Perera, who was a well intentioned but weak and inefficient Head Clerk of mine on Dewalakande, are a reference to many (multi-level) spiritual (religious) texts that exist and that (paragraph 2) the world is full of such junk which people are not

paying attention to. Paragraph 3 may refer to my efforts to “drive a good cultivation vehicle into the world but lack “space to maneuvre” i.e. exposure. *Mr. Perera = gentle, ineffective, negative, in over his head.

☛ The Company chairman.

Date: 22.04.96 Time: 3.52 a.m.

Preamble: The dream woke me to record it. A dream of many hours it seems and all to do with a second stint at planting in Sri Lanka. This dream is just after the writing of The Milk Is White in its raw form Though not specified this is a Holyrood dream.

Dream: Part I The female staff in the London office of The Ceylon Tea Plantations Co., Ltd., (the company whose plantations I managed in Sri Lanka) are now freer and less conservative.

It seems all the directors have come to Sri Lanka to meet their plantation executives most of whom are young and unknown to me. The Chairman is Jack and may have the surname Russell. I have been away from Sri Lanka for 25 years and mention this to someone.

Part II Then we are on a train and, some time later, I unhitch the last 3 or 4 carriages, including ours, from the locomotive and the front part.

Next we are on motorbikes and racing along a vestigial road along the top of the railways double cutting in pursuit of the train. The ground is various shades of pink.

Part III A young planter says that he is short of oxygen as we are no longer on the train doing 400 m.p.h. I lead the chase and we get lost. I think Jack leads next and we are looking for cattle, or some sort of animals, to shoot. We come across a group of bare bodied natives who offer to take us to “cattle” but it appears to me/us that they are conning and after a fast buck.

We decide to turn around and go back. A young native tries to hold me back by inserting his fingers into my flesh in key spots (to him) but I ignore it and drive away. The flesh tears but there is no pain.

Part IV The Solution.

Then we are in a building and I am surprised at the name “Jack for the Chairman”. He is a pleasant mild man.

Next I am in (various?) lounge suits the last of which is too tight - at least the jacket and I decide to dispense with formality and undo the buttons. I return to the building after

formal parting and in one of the rooms find Jack. There is a meeting going on in a room nearby and I nearly go in.

Jack is informally dressed and sitting on his bed. He gets up when I enter and says, ‘I have been asked to keep you here and give you some presents.’ I think he points to 2 boxes containing small parcels tied with gold ribbon - light green in one box and light yellow/gold in the other.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: OK, observing, perhaps a little nostalgia.

Feeling after dream: Am I going to die? Some sadness; concern that this may mean the end of the Quo Vadis project.

Note regarding Interpretation: Soon after dreaming unless otherwise shown.

Re Part I [12.05.10] “are now freer and less conservative” may refer to my writing and/or neoptions. “all the directors have come to Sri Lanka to meet their plantation executives” may signify more insight for me. Jack Russell - In 1996 I was not aware of a breed of dog by this name.

No interpretation.

Part II: One phase completed and now on high ground parallel* with the track. Love, happiness and joy whilst maintaining ideals.

[12.05.10] “I unhitch the last 3 or 4 carriages, including ours,” = Opted for an independent view? “The ground is various shades of pink” Pink > rose pink = Weakness to love, joy and happiness. *Which may indicate “not quite on track”.

Interpretation: Hence, one phase of my work, or learning, has been completed and I am now on high ground parallel* with the track but not quite on it. I opt for independence of perception in what I discover.

Part III: Unable to choose the direction to take regarding spiritual life or Earthly life.

Spirit leads. Put aside negatives re Earthly life.- there is no pain in this.

[12.05.10] “The flesh tears but there is no pain.” Perhaps signifying a worldly view dispelled without “pain”.

Part IV: Solution.

Put away doubts about living the earthly life. The phase of non-earthly learning is complete and it is time to be “informal” now. Hence loosen restrictive attitudes and accept gifts of growth and spiritual progress and/or money given by the Chairman - a “higher authority” such as my spirit self, the “I am”. This is where I have to be (kept) now.

[12.05.10] The colours of the packages and the gold ribbon signify positive quality and, therefore, the paving of the way for the dissemination of the writings.

☛ The little railway.

Date: 26.04.96 Time: From before 4.30 a.m. to 5.20 a.m. When I awoke.

Dream: I am driving a small train and there may be someone with me at times. The train runs on an earth road with a slightly muddy surface marked by different shades of light brown (called light red in an artists palette) to yellow brown clays. All is covered by 25 mm - 50 mm of clear water. At one point I am driving fairly fast and am surprised at how the train stays on track with no rails and then realise that the rails are just below the water and clay suspension.

At the end I am going slowly and looking for the rails with interest when the track turns about 110∘to the right and I discover that a protrusion on the front left corner comes up against the bank and creates indentations. This somehow triggers the turn to the right along the rails. At no stage do I feel insecure about the stability of the track or rails.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Good, curious, attractive clay colours.

Feeling after dream: Long lasting.

Interpretation: [12.05.10] I am on track although I am not at first aware of it (cannot see the rails).The colour of the muddy surface is offset by the clarity of the water lying above it and although brown would normally indicate weakness it here seems to be given an Earthly, hence “solid” quality. Also, is it brown or light red? The “yellowish brown would be ochre, another earthy colour.

There is a contradiction between “25 mm - 50 mm of clear water” and “the water and clay suspension.” but, to this day, I have a very clear recollection of the clay as a settled layer beneath the clear water - hence no suspension. This recollection has remained with each time I recalled this dream.

☛ The tree stump.

Date: End February 1996 Time: Assume just before waking.

Preamble: Dream: Something* truncated and apparently dead but behind the dead core the cambium layer is alive and growing. *N.B. With the dream record I have drawn a small sketch of a truncated tree stump with a bird halfway up its left side.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: I could not, and cannot now, identify the “something”. However, it is plain that there had been, was, or was to be, something in my spiritual or Earthly life which was apparently dead but not, in fact, so.

Tags: advisory;

☛ Darts.

Date: 14.05.96 Note: I had only recently moved to my permanent address - settled residentially.

Time: From before 2 a.m. to after 7 a.m. When I awoke.

Preamble: To do with my buying or being given throwing darts.

Dream: A set of (packaged?) darts and then an unassembled single one in moulded plastic packaging. They are in soft pinkish in colours.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Very positive and pleasant throughout and, even during the dream, I was trying to work it out. I may have been lucid at times. It seemed to me that that this was very important as I was continuously trying to remember it but found it difficult and on awakening it faded completely except for what I have recorded.

Note: See the dartboard dream. [Search for dartboard] Interpretation: This may be a warning about throwing verbal or mental barbs at others although the feeling during the dream does not support this. Since the colour pink denotes weakness (Cayce) the missing part of the dream may have been about overcoming a weakness of hurling barbs at people - intolerance.

☛ Girl under the pergola.

Date: 17.12.97 Time: 5.17 a.m. Just before waking.

Preamble: End of dream. Something to do with a sports college.

Dream: I have completed a test and am about to leave when my attention is drawn to a girl at my left looking ahead and leaning against the white post of a pergola in the garden. Above and behind her is greenery. She is tall and slim, though well built, her hair is brown and down to her shoulder blades and she is wearing blue shorts with a white shirt - like sports wear. She resembles Claire* but is slimmer and without Claire’s facial features. The girls face does not register.

She looks to the right and notices me and there is a non-visual awareness that she has passed her test as well, although she is somewhat unaware of this. We are aware of and unexpected meeting again - of a sense of unity of purpose on the path of life. *My partner.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: [12.05.10] An indication of my having advanced spiritually [ the garden & green = growth; the female aspect; blue (true) shorts; white (pure) shirt; sports wear = (con)test.]

Tags: msp; advisory;

☛ Note on 18.12.96: It is late evening or night and something in the book I am reading triggers thoughts concluding that Claire, my partner, is a taker, not a giver, is selfish etc., that it seems that this is the negative aspect of this life that she has chosen instead of the positive one; that her soul is different to the earthling etc. etc.

☛ The Open Land Rover.

Date: 18.12.97 Time: Last part from 4 a.m. to 5.15 a.m. Before that, long.

Dream: I am driving a Land Rover on a twisty, very narrow, rocky road with big rocks on both sides. I have lost the driving touch and am having difficulty keeping to the road/ track and am damaging/scraping the sides on the rocks.

A leaf weighing scene and something I am doing is bruising the leaf. The sack girls are upset by this.

There is a curtain of honey that has crystalized and needs to flow. I am standing by it with a man and we are trying to make it flow. The honey is orangy red.

Before 5.15 a.m: There is a dense rainforest and some men are working. I approach them. This is all to do with improving the environment and something to do with my producing A4 size sachets of pesto as the solution. The sachets are blue lined and the contents whitish.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Feeling after dream: Interpretation: History: 1. Loss of control on Path.

2. Causing damage.

Situation: 1. Damaging tender shoots and girls.

2. Not detached - being affected.

3. Sweet nature crystalized and needs to flow.

Solution: 1. The “environment” needs to be saved or is saved by me producing sachets of pesto (made from sweet basil?)

It seems that the negative thoughts in the Note of 18.12.96 above should be discarded for love and realising the underlying beauty in Claire.

☛ University town/Sai Baba.

Date: 03.01.98 Time: End of long dream. 3.15 p.m. Just before waking from nap.

Dream: A non-specific university town with much green. There are many young people students - and all attention is on Sai Baba who is visiting. Vantage points are being sought, but without definite success, in this very hilly town. I am amongst those present.

At the end, I am taken up by Norman (my brother on Earth) to a room where I recognise myself as a minor sports celebrity amongst celebrities like Ashey Cader (On Earth a friend and well known, extremely good, rugby player) and others.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: “Highpoint” and high energy.

Feeling after dream: Interpretation: [12.05.10] A spiritual progress update connected with my writings (as symbolised by Sai Baba) and Norman and Ashey symbolise the “material world” I leave “left behind”.

Tags: msp;

☛ A girl in white.

Date: 11.01.98 Time: 4.15 a.m.

Dream: There is a very white girl dressed in white. Two (?) white pills split. One in a corner of the room. We both try to retrieve it/them and I run my fingers up her lower arm to her waist and we kiss with wide open mouths - like in resuscitation. Deep love is acknowledged and accepted and then a gentle, firm, ‘That is enough!’

I know this girl very well but her identity eludes me - just. Do I know but not know?

Colour: Yes.

Feeling during dream: High affect, both emotional and physical.

Feeling after dream: Since the dream my reaction to Claire’s absence has been “STILL”.

Interpretation: Dropping of pills = Ceasing medication? [Claire was on medication for various mental disorders.]

Kiss = healing through words?

Elusive identity = A transformed Claire?

White = healing or healed?

‘That is enough!’ = no more words of help needed?

Arm around waist = protection?

Tags:

☛ Assisting people.

Date: 11.03.98 Time: 6 a.m. Last dream before waking.

Dream: I am assisting people to obtain Cayce readings by various means. Details escape me although they were clear during the dream.

Colour: ?

Interpretation: [12.05.10] Perhaps confirming my continuing “mission” with the Cayce readings symbolising my writings, a fair amount of the early part of which stem from recognition of the accuracy of much of the readings.

Tags: advisory;

☛ Red car.

Date: 25.03.98 Time: 4.30 p.m. Woken by telephone.

Dream: A man in a dirt track speedway type car is being a nuisance to me in my car on the roads. At the end Suppiah† appears as my driver and causes the other driver to have a mishap*, in which he was not hurt, and was amused by the incident. My car could have been a bright red, 1998 model, car at the end of the dream * I think the wheels came off. † Search for other appearances of Suppiah.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: [15.05.10] In 1998, on my journey, there is some interference or distraction which is eliminated by “spirit” and gives my “mission” new impetus.

Tags: vehicle;

☛ Teaching promotion.

Date: Night of 26.06.98 Time: 11 p.m. or after midnight.

Preamble: Dream: I am in a learning institution or workplace and am given a teaching post jumping three grades resulting in a pay increase of $6000 per annum. I am surprised by this jump. It is not a promotion but just that I do not start at the bottom grade. I have to meet a teacher at 10 a.m. but do not make the appointment. This concerns me a little but I “know” that all will be well. Then it is about 12 noon and I am searching for the classroom in which is the teacher I have to meet.

Colour: ?

Feeling during dream: Positive, feel good without any particular excitement.

Feeling after dream: Neutral Interpretation: Advice on my spiritual progress and that of my “mission”.

☛ Rizum 11.05.10.

A Grand Ball.

Date: 28.06.98 Time: Night - many hours leading up to awakening.

Preamble: Dream: Part 1. I go through various departments of a very large shopping complex making all the staff dance and enjoy themselves.

Part 2. I am at a grand ball in many rooms. Like a huge New Year’s Eve party. In the end the party is over, the remaining people are sitting down in groups amongst the debris of balloons, streamers etc. I am walking through all this. Prizes are being allocated and I am slightly regretful that I did not buy a ticket to qualify for a prize. I am the only one walking around.

Final Part. A young lady, in a three-quarter length light green dress, with short blonde hair, comes up to me to dance with me. I am a little disappointed as she has a plain face.

She leads me into the dance and is a “natural”. As we dance I am taken by the harmony she creates - very beautiful!

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: [12.05.10]

Re Part 1. The departments of the shopping complex symbolise materialism. Hence, I help people find true happiness through my writings.

Re Part 2. In many places (rooms) there has been a grand display of the spiritual truth ushering in the prospects of a time (New Year) of true happiness. However, I am disappointed with the result which seems to be only people in groups (various religions and factions of religions) and debris. The regret that I did not “qualify for a prize” may reflect a slight regret of mine that even my writings do no appear to be having much affect. Also, I am the only one, it seems, free to walk around unfettered.

Re Final Part. However, there is hope because a new period of a natural inclination to pure thinking and growth emerges and my writings take a part in the enlightenment (dance) which ensues. I am impressed (taken) by the harmony all this creates.

Tags: advisory;

☛ Spiritual progress.

Date: 01.07.98 Time: Assume during night before waking.

Preamble: An apparently long dream interspersed by sporadic awakening up to the final waking.

Dream: No apparent storyline. All to do with ultra high level learning/knowledge/ achievements of the mind. White research type overcoats and a laboratory environment.

I am, in a way, ahead of all the others.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Neutral.

Feeling after dream: Humbled. Disbelief, accepting, reluctant to record dream but decide to do so as it may be useful to others later. Feeling that the dream was portentous.

Interpretation: In my increasing awareness of the Reality as a result of my pure “research” I am reaching, or will reach, ultra high levels way ahead of all the others*. * The phrase “all the others” must refer to those in my immediate sphere of influence.

Tags: predictive; msp;

☛ The plantation/university.

Date: 22.07.98 Time: Assume night to waking.

Preamble: A long dream that I did not feel like recording but as in the previous dream, felt I should. Herath was my excellent building contractor on a couple of plantations I managed. The plantation/project is nameless.

Dream: In a plantation/university starting from scratch I am the senior empirical advisor to the scientists. I notice a new section of the new tea plantings. The little bushes are pruned and I realise that I must give some advice on some errors.

We acknowledge the need for the combination of empirical and scientific knowledge without conflict. The presence of others in the dream at most times is implied rather than actual.

We are in the solid concrete building/s under construction. Herath is the builder.

Initially the building seems to be an assistant manager’s house in the process of construction and the focus is on the kitchen and hot water system. Later, I am told by Herath that it has been decided to have only one hot water system for all the houses.

Next, I am in the accommodation block and going through all the multi-stored units - all very solid and to be “quality fitted out”. All identical but with variations in colour and minor detail.

The dream ends with me and unseen workmen doing the final checks with the focus on the bath rooms and water whilst young couples - scientific staff - walk in to select their units.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: 1. Very successful without formal scientific credentials.

2. High sense of duty to my employers.

3. Loved the worker and often said, ‘They are like children.’

4. Constantly sought, and provided the workers with, clean water.

WATER: The subconscious; subconscious emotions; spiritual subconscious. Therefore, taps, pipes and water = providing spiritual (sub) consciousness, or knowledge to nourish this?

[12.05.10] This is about the need, in the search for the spiritual truth, to combine the empirical [insight (neoption) and spiritual experience] with observation, theory and logic - in other words to adopt a holistic approach. The implied presence of others is testimony to the fact that this opinion is widespread. I notice new information incorrectly presented and realise that I have to advise on improvement; meaning that I have to improve my communication?

To provide a solid base for such a project a place of manufacture (a culture, mindset, goal?) is created by a good, efficient and honest party (Herath). The reference to hot water may be a reference to the cleansing of people - the weaning of people away from materialism and other negative, unproductive activities and thinking.

In the end people make there selections of their units - way to enlightenment.

I am not satisfied with this interpretation but it may offer some clues to interpretation generally.

☛ Driving Duncan’s car.

Date: 23.07.98 Time: Up to a.m. waking.

Preamble: A long dream.

01.05.10. Duncan was a good, long time friend - a very good man with very fixed ideas and, in that sense, old fashioned. In Australia he always lived in old style houses. Duncan never had an upstair house.

Dream: Bits. Duncan’s upstair house. He and Steuart are there. I borrow his car keys and drive around streets being resurfaced. The car is slow off the mark at traffic lights (etc.?) as if the clutch were slipping. Also, possibly, as in some old dreams, major plumbing works - storm water? - being done across the back yards of the houses.

At one time I close his dilapidated front door, have a little difficulty turning the key as the door does not fit properly, then push the car key and its large, bulky tag, a rough block about 18 cm x 13 cm, inside through a broken panel at the bottom. There is water lying below the door.

Lastly, I come to a T intersection to turn right. The light is green but the car is playing up and I think I won’t make it before the lights change. I see amber and hesitate but a guy working on the resurfacing team waves me on indicating that it is OK. I notice that the light is not amber but green and I continue. Finally, I am back at Duncan’s with a carry bag to return the key and other things to him. In the bag is a cushion coloured yellow, green and another colour. I take out the cushion and then put back saying, ‘No, that is mine.’

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: 1. My road is being resurfaced.

2. I have the green light.

3. I am moving in the right direction even if it is with a “slipping clutch”.

4. I am encouraged on my way by my spirit guide or spirit self (road worker).

[12.05.10] I have failed to make more sense of this despite nearly twenty minutes of trying.

☛ Dewalakande.

Date: 16/17.08.98 Time: During the night.

Preamble: Dewalakande in impression but not image.

Banda is a young servant I had during my early years in planting.

Dream: The place is the Dewalakande bungalow and surrounds but does not look like it.

I am driving up the drive below the side of the house and notice that Patchamuttu has installed the new pipes from the new water supply. Beautiful, new 2½ “ pipes, a flange with a collar of red paint, expertly done. The pipe leads downhill from below the road towards where the highway would be. I also notice the new power line expertly done with thick cable and clasp attachments etc. but, strangely, it is attached to the trunk of a leaning jacaranda below the road instead of to a power pole. The line is for a new circuit for the house but no line from the tree to the house is evident. The water supply seems very important to me and the power line a little less so. The latter is additional to that previously existing.

We drive up to the rear of the house, the kitchen end, to unload the packed household things and I tell the two children, a boy and a girl, to help with a few things before running off to do other things.

The side of the house I can see is aglow with brights lights and lighting. The new lighting is for the ceilings of the concrete verandahs. It is great sight! Banda is there and draws my attention, with pride, to the lighting and I tell him that dusk is still to come; implying either that it has not been necessary to switch them on or that it would look better after dark.

Next I am in a bedroom unpacking clothes. The new cupboards are in the room ready to be placed. They are plain panel plus beading cupboards, bluish white in colour. I am very pleased with them as I was with the lit house. I take out a shirt on a hanger (the shirt seems to be glowing) and see what looks like brown shoe polish on the collar. Naomal tells me that it was his fault as he had done something for his clothes, which were in with mine, that had got onto my shirt.

At one stage I asked Banda (?) how the water storage tank was and, as he replied, I “saw” in my mind what he was telling me and was very satisfied with the way it was done.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: The strongest, positive feelings came from the beautiful light/ lighting of house and cupboards and then satisfaction and happiness with the new pipes etc.

Feeling after dream: Interpretation: The next day at 5 p.m.

I was in the garden contemplating the significance of the water pipe and thought, ‘I cannot get the answer through thinking.’ I said to The Great Spirit, ‘ You must give me the answer’.

I then realised: 1. I used to give water to many on the plantations. Water = emotions; the spiritual.

2. Arrived ay Dewalakande = Ready to start.

3. Beautifully lit building (internally) = State of “mind” for this.

4. Dewalakande = Hill or mountain of the temple = Temple hill.

☛ Carlabeck revisited.

Date: 20.08.98 Time: 6.36 a.m.

Preamble: Long dream to time of waking.

Dream: It appears to be all about a re-establishment or renewal of the “Carlabeck” bungalow and site [The bungalow I was in, in 1952 - 4, was demolished and a new one built not long after.]

1. It is on an “island” in the road going up from Nanuoya to Nuwara Eliya.

2. I contemplate (a) How to re-establish the garden in terms of what to remove and what to leave. (b) A new sign and name and (c) How to shore up the steep side down to the road.

3. The house is small, almost completely subterranean.

4. The is a meeting of a group of men inside and Sylvia (?) and I, arms linked, check old magazine reminding us of the identities of those present. Our cane furniture on Alton is now on Carlabeck.

In an earlier phase of the dream the house is well above ground and, inside, I see a man and young partner quite happy but the walls are thin partitions, dark grey/black (sooty) in colour and, in a way, dilapidated. No external view at any stage.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: Very strong, positive and unidentifiable.

Feeling after dream: Interpretation: No idea at the time and at 12.05.10.

Tags: plantation;

☛ Flying the Jumbo jet.

Date: 26.08.98 Time: Just prior to waking.

Preamble:

Dream: Flight training has been completed by me and a female. We are given keys to a Jumbo jet and a solid car - perhaps, also to a house. I start to separate the plane keys from the others. The Jumbo’s keys are # 67.

Takeoff is from a plateau and then over a lush green valley basin.

I observe my first takeoff. The plateau is unseen on my left at the same level as my observation point. As the plane dips into the valley I feel the wonderful power of the lift as the plane catches the air and lifts in perfect takeoff up and over the mountain at the end of the beautiful valley.

Colour: Yes.

Interpretation: [12.05.10] Flying = Rising above a problem or a suggestion to rise above a problem (Cayce). Spiritual freedom; spiritual elevation; 67 = 6+7 = 13 = 4 = Earth material life; Plateau = high place; key = solution; lush green = lush growth; This is a spiritual experience or a representation of my state of being at this time. It is about leaving behind Earthly (worldly) cravings and powerfully flying into the glorious scenery at a high elevation.

Tags: msp;

☛ Dewalakande.

Date: 06.09.98 Time: Ends at awakening.

Preamble: Dewalakande in impression but not image. Also, a reminder that Dewalakande means dewala = temple and kande = hill. All the numbers in this dream are 3 or multiples thereof.

Dream: I decide to walk in the seldom used, large, lush garden; around a circuit of lawn surrounded by plantings and surrounding a central planted area. I will have my coffee there. I leave the house via the 9 m - 12 m wide wooden stairway at the back under the roof. The feeling of the place is monastic.

When I reach the ground I notice that Fernando (my gardener on Carlabeck c.1953) has pruned the Pyrostegia on the arbour down to a stump as it had got scraggy, out of control and ugly. It is well pruned and I realise it will regrow well despite the hard prune.

Then, I see the elongated circular drive and decide that it needs a sign indicating IN one way an OUT the other so that visitors cars use it only one way and can park at the front.

Next I am at the lower boundary of the garden and the stream is full. A man, the gardener (?) wades across. I am then on the other side of the Dewalakande main road at the house of my driver. He has replaced the mud walls on the road side with brick and mortar and has a cobblers shop there. He shows me a shoe/slipper on which he is working. It has no sole and he is preparing it to re-attach the sole and shows me the

problem/challenge he has. I am aware that it is against the rules for him to have improved his house.

There is a bus on the roadside. I cannot get to the road as the ditch in front of me is full of water and I cannot get across. Then I see that he has created a bridge with three long, narrow logs and I can get across.

Next, I am where the Dewalakande bungalow is in life and am looking down towards where the kovil was. I think to myself, ‘To avoid the people having to break the “law” by modifying the lines‡ we can create a shopping centre - a set of little shops (caddays) set in a circle - and am sure the estate management can manage that. ‡ lines = workers’ living quarters on plantations et al.

Colour: Yes.

Interpretation: re Paras. 1 & 2. In an impressive though monastic environment where health and energy in need of control have been “pruned back” to revitalise them, I conclude that, for the seekers, some direction is helpful.

Re Para 3. At the boundary of my influence (garden) I cross over and emotional or cleansing threshold to my inner/spiritual guide* where I see work in progress on the repairing of souls (soles). [Note: I cannot understand the error in “improving his house”. House usually symbolises state of mind or body] There is potential for many people to arrive (bus) but it seems that my emotions will prevent me from helping them until I realise that I* have, with great strength (#3) bridged the obstacle (ditch) by a long and narrow journey (long, narrow logs).

Re Para 4. With reference to my place in earthly life I am looking towards the spiritual and wondering whether, to avoid people breaking the law of karma by setting their own interpretations (modifying the lines or rules) we could set up places of “the god force” or Creative Force (circle of shops) and am sure I can, or will, manage this (being “estate management”).

Note: Pyrostegia produce masses of orange flowers; orange = health and energy (health could also refer to spiritual health); the #3 = great strength.

☛ Leibeman beer.

Date: 12.09.98 Time: Just prior to waking.

Preamble: This is the last bit.

Dream: At Manilal’s instigation I buy a bottle of Leibeman beer - the cheapest on special - from the big, staff member with the shaved head in the basement bottle shop of the supermarket.

N.B. 01.05.10. I have never heard of such a beer - to this day!

Colour: Interpretation: No idea!

☛ Holyrood.

Date: 17.09.98 Time: To 5.35 a.m.

Preamble: It is 45 minutes since the dream and I am only just getting over the tremendous excitement of the dream. I cannot recall ever experiencing a feeling such as this.

Dream: Very itsy bitsy - a vague memory of being told what to do in spiritual practices etc. to attain Holyrood. I am told, possibly by “phone” that I have it.

I am there. There is no tea. I can only vaguely recall what appears to be a building site.

Extreme joy!

I am in the old, orangy multi-coloured, box-like little car leaving for somewhere. The entry to the site is being built and I drive over terra cotta tiles being laid over the roadway outside the ornate gate pillars. I am amazed that they would be going to this extent to beautify the place.

Next I am in the streets and a shabby, big, blue car with twin exhausts sticking our far to the side gets in my way as I try to overtake. I feel a little frustrated by “these yahoos”.

Women are going home after work in town.

I am going to Naomal’s (I think) and wondering why I had not phoned Norman (my real brother) to tell him that “it” had happened, I realise that, had I phoned, I would have been so overcome that I would not have been able to speak.

Colour: Yes. Much orange and terra cotta.

Feeling during dream: Experiencing the magnificence and very impressed as well as humbled in a way.

Feeling after dream: At 7.45 a.m. In the back garden I sense that what I see is not real; that I am not there but just seeing it. [02.05.10] This may refer to the dream or be the first inkling of the reality that all we perceive to be real is only an illusion - imaginary.

Interpretation: My goal is achieved and I am on Earth with many qualities (orangy multi-coloured, box-like little car). The building is obviously going to be magnificent and somewhat ornate with a lot of orange/terra cotta colour in it.

I encounter a demonstration of negative interpretations of the truth and this momentarily gets in the was of my progress due to the emotion of frustration.

The final paragraph may actually be a reference to my earthling life because I was very fond of my (elder) brother, a self declared “hard-headed rationalist”, and always wished that he would be able to see things as they really are.

Orange = health and energy; box-like car = Earth (4 points) journey; Tags: msp; holyrood;

☛ Houpe.

Date: 13.09.98 Time: Recorded late - unspecified.

Preamble: 1. Mossing and ferning is post pruning process undertaken immediately after the pruning of a field of tea. 2. A kangany is the supervisor of a gang (group) of plantation workers. 3. Depending on the elevation of the plantation above sea level and the time since the last pruning tea is plucked every 6 - 7 days and these periods are termed “rounds”.

I was temporarily posted to Houpe early in 1961 to stand in for the manager who was to go on furlough.

The only relevance of Houpe in my dreams may be that, without the ‘u’ in it it spells hope and with the way dreams play with words this may well be the case.

Dream: I am in a mossing and ferning field on Houpe (plantation) when the kanganies ask me whether oxalis is a weed and should be removed. I say, ‘No.’ I try to pick leaves in the tea field and explain to youngsters that what is required is a 7 day round not a 6 day one. Then I am trying to grind dry tea leaves to make a top class tea.

That is all I recall.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: [14.05.10] In the spiritual field (of people) the individuals (bushes) are being cleansed of choking weeds and clinging moss and I am asked whether growth (oxalis - a soft leaved, green plant) and I say it should not.

In the second paragraph we have an allusion to teaching the spiritually ignorant about the spiritual truth to a conclusion (top class tea and the number 7). # 6 = Depending on other existing factors there may be weakness in this number.

☛ Houpe.

Date: 18.09.98 Time: Last dream before waking.

Preamble: Houpe, as such, is implied rather than visual.

Dream: I am in the office doing reports. The Head Clerk, Mr. Kothagoda, is there. I have a sense of guilt about neglecting the office work but Mr. Kothagoda is running things perfectly.* Next I see lush, high jat tea in top condition plus dadap (Erythrina indica) shade trees the green is very rich.

Then, as I walk away from the office along an unsealed road, I say to Mr. Kothagoda, ‘I will increase the yield to 5000 pounds per acre in 2½ years by the removal of the shade.’

Colour: Yes, rich.

Feeling during dream: *So why do I feel bad about this?

Feeling after dream: Positive.

Interpretation: [14.05.10] Houpe = hope? It was also the biggest plantation in our Company though not the best by a long way; Office = centre (of “management”); 5000 = 5 = activity; change in same (Cayce) 4. 2½ = 2 x ½ = 1 = ONE?; Remove shade = enlighten?; Mr Kothagoda was an excellent Head Clerk of mine on Radella.

Hence, despite any doubts all indications are positive where my spiritual progress and “mission” are concerned.

☛ A plantation.

Date: 16.01.99 Time: Assume just before waking.

Preamble: Labour day = the weekly “speak to the boss” day.

Dream: Contractors are clearing away large dead trees and branches. There is no crop in cultivation, only grass. There is an office where workers have come for the weekly labour day.

Next, I am in the field at the point on the earth road to the house up to where resurfacing has been completed.

The contract is complete.

Note: Early on 17.01.99 I am moved to make this entry because this dream, particularly the phrase, “The contract is complete.”, has been recurring in my mind since last morning.

Colour: Yes.

Interpretation: [14.05.10] Dead wood is being cleared away and there is no more cultivation (of tea) to be done although communication with the people is the order of the day. The Path ahead to the final place is being prepared.

Tags: plantation; msp;

☛ A new housing development.

Date: 29.07.99 Time: ?

Preamble: The houses are in the background of the area and, in the end, I am in the foreground with my dogs and car.

Dream: There is a housing development at the bottom of which are four two-storey houses on a block of land and I am inspecting them. I rearrange them on the block and notice their proximity to the shopping mall below them. This is unsuitable as it would be too noisy and there would be too many people around i.e. It would be too busy.

I am near my vehicle with my black dog (Flicka?), ready to leave, when I realise that Hoagy is missing. I look over a 2 m wall up towards the heights of the development and see him looking for me. I whistle his special whistle with a little difficulty and, seeing and/or hearing me he comes racing down and tries to jump the wall. I lean over and get him.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: [14.05.10] This seems to refer to something new I am doing in the earthling aspect of my life. I change things but the result is unsatisfactory due to too many human influences.

Meanwhile, in regard to my spiritual journey, I have with me my trusty love of people part of which is missing but returns to me with a little difficulty. The first part, being in the background, may refer to the recent past and the second paragraph, being in the foreground, may refer to the present.

I cannot associate this with anything in my life that I can recall.

☛ Holyrood.

Date: 30.07.99 Time: Assume just before waking.

Preamble: Bagot and Reid-Wilson were fellow Company employees and Cadiravelu was, at one time, my head servant. Cadiravelu was my head servant at one time.

Dream: I have been posted to Holyrood. Everyone knows that I am going but a Charles Bagot/Dick Reid-Wilson like character says, ‘If you are going!’ meaning that it is not yet official.

Finally, I am in a house, looking out, trying to see the Somerset bungalow and ask Cadiravelu where it is. I then realise that it is not visible from that window but from the one in the next room.

Colour: Yes. Interpretation: Is Somerset a play on the words summer and “set’ with the latter meaning either a summer that has set or one setting into place? In other words either past/passing or future. Of course, it could just as well refer to summer already set in place!!!

[14.05.10] The Somerset plantation bungalow was looked down upon from the main road between Holyrood and the closest major town and activities, but is not visible to me from one perception but from another. My feelings for Somerset, where I started work, are neutral.

The statement, “If you are going!” could mean anything.

☛ The S factor.

Date: 30.10.99 Time: Assume just before waking.

Preamble: 1. Very long. Perhaps the only dream I had last night. 2. The psychic reading regarding The S factor was on 21.10.95. and the last S Factor dream before that.

Dream: I go to Sally’s and Tim’s house in a country area. There is no child anywhere but there is a friend together with her boyfriend. Tim is mostly away so Sally and I have a lot of time together. Sally openly and willingly, except when Tim is present, gives herself to me in all ways. Much swimming and loving sleeping (in water). There are friends present - two couples - and they join in at times. There is tacit acceptance of Sally and I. Twice I go up to a high cliff above the small township and sky dive after the first climb.

The vista over the cliff and township (to the sea?) is a beautiful blue.

Next I am on a rubber plantation with a farmyard atmosphere around the house; well planned house, sort of A frame, with a large verandah on one side. The paintwork is not bright. I am very impressed and feel good about it.

In the final scene Sally is asleep under shallow water. I enter to say, ‘Good morning’. We hug, her thin nightie disappears, and I caress her. All very loving.

Colour: Yes. Feeling during dream: All very positive apart from the occasional and slight avoidance of Tim. Very great love and loving but not erotic.

Feeling after dream: A long lasting feeling of love in its best sense.

Interpretation: This is the only dream in which Sally has wholeheartedly expressed love for me in all ways, so the dream appears to symbolise a culmination of The S factor. The reconciliation of the Yin and Yang in me?

My mission” is now open to all (country area) and growth is no more (no child). I am pleased with my progress and my emotions are in harmony with my situation. Friends join at times and there is acceptance of my involvement in my work.

I move to an elevated state of being and am aware of the truth. Here I am in charge, my “house is in order” and I feel good about it.

One could not ask for a better finish than that!

Note on 30.10.99: I Ching: I did an I Ching reading posing the question, ‘Please explain this dream.’ The result was # 19 > six in the fifth place > #60

Hence: #19 GROWTH

This hexagram is supported by the two strong lines at the bottom, which are going upward.

The ancient Chinese saw this as the moment of spring when the green shoots burst from the ground, heralding the beginning of the new year. In personal terms, this is a good moment. You are in a position to take some considerable steps forward and promote yourself and your ideas. You can also use this opportunity to advance to a position of authority, as you have the capacity to influence people and inspire them to support you. One warning, however. Seasons are cyclical. In the course of time autumn must come around, and eventually winter. So it is important that you seize this chance while it lasts, at the same time making a long term view to ensure you build a strong bedrock of support which will see you through the inevitable downturns in the future.

LINE OF CHANGE (6 in fifth place): At this stage you must be prepared to delegate - a process that requires considerable wisdom. You must select people capable of the task, and you must learn to relinquish some of your own power so that others can do the job effectively.

#60 LIMITATION

In Cheih the abysmal water is placed above the joyous lake. The implication is that there is too much water around, and unless it is restrained it will overflow and disaster will ensue. There is a salutary moral tale here, warning of a the conditions created by excess and lack of forethought. No matter how tedious limitations might be, they are an essential part of life.it is important no to get too repressive, but if there are no restraints at all, trouble and difficulty will surely follow.. Your present situation is delicately poised as you battle with the two conflicting ideas of restriction and tolerance. In personal relationships you must find the middle path between a laissez-faire approach and a jealous, restrictive one.

This also applies in financial or business affairs.You can gain nothing without the outlay of some money, but keep some back for a rainy day.

☛ Bed space.

Date: 04.11.99 Time: ?

Preamble: Another very short dream.

Dream: Space made in bed.

Colour: ?

Feeling during dream: The feeling was so heightened that, when I wanted to go to the toilet, I made it a point to get out of the wrong side of the bed and back again to recapture the lovely, loving feeling.

[02.05.10] - I presume this means getting out of and then in to the bed via the “wrong side”. Perhaps, the “wrong side” was closer to the door.]

Feeling after dream: As above.

Interpretation: It seems that I sensed or imagined that I had made a space in bed next to me for something or someone.

Regarding an interpretation I have no idea. This could have been a heightened awareness or a visitation of sorts.

Tags: -

☛ Holyrood.

Date: 23.03.01 Time: 5.30 a.m.± Preamble: Possibly the most intense Holyrood dream to date.

Dream: I know, or am told in some way, and I tell others, that I have been given Holyrood (to manage) and am moving there in December (?).

Colour: Feeling during dream: Highly intense.

Feeling after dream: ?

Interpretation: [14.05.10] Either my subconscious mind enjoying the fact or a superconscious affirming it.

☛ Cancer, the pre-operation dream.

Date: February, 2006.

Following the entry The Body as a Vehicle in The ‘Quo Vadis?’ File III I decided to attend the meeting referred to below.

Yesterday I was due to be at the hospital at 8 a.m. for examination by the team of “Head & Neck” surgeons and consultants and before I awoke I had this dream: Note - In Australia we drive on the left side of the road.

I was driving on a two-way, two lane street, approaching a T intersection at which I was going to turn right. I 'knew' that the road I was approaching was clear. However, I was

approaching the intersection in the right lane instead of in the regulation left lane and was a little uncomfortable with this.

Interpretation: 1. In dreams, right = the 'correct' way.

2. The road ahead was clear.

3. I was approaching 'illegally' = not according to required practice or standard principles (in this case, my spiritual guidelines).

So, I was approaching a decision/choice, the road ahead was clear and I would make the right choice although it was against 'my principles'. After the examinations and deliberations the surgeon gave me the diagnosis, the proposed surgical procedure and the prognosis; the last mentioned subject to post surgical pathology. I immediately gave him the “go ahead” and a week later the surgery was carried out with complete success, the pathology was clear and no follow-up chemo/radio therapy was required.

☛ Grass Skiing.

Date: 06.02.09.

Time: 5 a.m.

Preamble: I have never skied in my this life. Another of the infrequent times when I observe myself in a dream.

Observer: Ian. Observed: Ian. Dream: This was the final part of the dream. The rest I cannot recall nor do I remember it as being of any importance: In a relatively flat area of short, green grass in a normal, healthy condition I was grass skiing across approximately the middle level of the view, from right to left. I was on a single ski, travelling at self generated speed with the requisite skill for that speed and was enjoying the experience greatly although it was not exhilarating, as have been my flying ones.

There were people in the area, including some children, and I negotiated them skilfully and safely before, with a few shallow zigzags, came to a halt quite expertly.

Colour: Normal for these conditions.

Weather: Fine and bright.

Interpretation: [14.05.10] The dream speaks for itself in describing my state of being at the time.

☛

‘I have chosen!’

Date: 05.04.10 Time: Just before I awoke this morning.

Preamble: Some of you may be aware of the thematic dream of mine relating to Holyrood, a tea plantation I was on at one time, and that this series of dreams seemed to chart the course of my spiritual progress since about 1996. The significant symbolism in this theme seemed to be the standard of work of the workers and the condition of the tea bushes themselves. There were two main divisions on the plantation; one was West Holyrood and the other East Holyrood with the quality of work on West being excellent and that on East extremely bad. This difference was apparently used in the dreams to illustrate the state of human mentality and the dreams reflected my efforts to change this mentality as well as my spiritual progress. In one of the earlier dreams the focus went to a single tea bush on which the entire surface, which in a healthy, active bush would be covered in leaf buds and shoots, consisted entirely of leaves terminating in dormant buds. On a tea plantation such bushes are a bad sign as they adversely affect production.

However, suitable agricultural practices could rectify this.

The goal in the dream was my assuming the position of manager of this plantation, the pinnacle of achievement in our Company, and this goal occurred in my dreams about four years ago.

Dream: After a long time, a dream in which I was on a tea plantation which was in an extremely neglected state with a large part of it non-productive due to the virtual absence of tea bushes, or bushes existing but so small as to be virtually non-existent. I tried to work out a way of revitalizing the tea but no matter what I came up with it was not going to work. I then awoke and, in a state of semi-sleep alternating with brief episodes of sleep, continued to work on the challenge - again without result.

I then awoke, saying aloud, in my head or, in fact, whilst I simultaneously saw the ‘Quo Vadis?’ mandala, ‘We must choose! . . . . . I have chosen! I have opted out!’

Colour: Yes. Feeling after dream: I felt a mixture of satisfaction, contentment, achievement and freedom although this choice of mine is not new.

Note: When I say that I have opted out what I mean is opted out of the illusion, the “crescendo of madness” that we perceive as the reality. My connection with fellow mouls remains in tact.

Interpretation: In a way this dream seems to have been re-affirming my state of being!

Tags: plantation; I have chosen;

☛ "The mind is the builder."

Date: May 2010.

Over relatively recent times I have had a series of dreams with a similar theme, but not quite what I would term a thematic dream. The theme is that of my refurbishing, as manager, various of my one time plantation bungalows. This refurbishment was interior

and major, usually involving extensive re-plastering of the walls, new fittings and a new colour scheme amongst other improvements and all this was in charge of my one time building contractor, Herath, with whom there was much dialogue about the work.

Herath was a good, dependable and honest man whom I respected.

I could never quite see the significance of these dreams but, a few nights ago, when I was in the hypnagogic state, this suddenly struck me: "The mind is the builder"*, the builder is Herath, the bungalows represent various aspects of my life, therefore I am improving my state of being in consultation with my mind. * "The mind is the builder" is a frequent Cayce readings statement.

This now allows the interpretation that at various times along the way I (Spirit), with the help of my mind (moul), was involved in significant spiritual self-improvement, with the various bungalows perhaps symbolic of the level of each particular refurbishment because each bungalow reflected my seniority and responsibility as I progressed in my real life career in plantation management. I was very successful in my planting career so the symbolism is very appropriate!

Tags: refurbishing;

☛ Meditation.

Date: 21.04.10 As usual for my morning self-healing I prepared myself. However, in the first few minutes I drifted towards my awareness of the Oneness, The Great Spirit, as I have become aware of it in the recent past. Whilst I was neopting* this my mind was trying to comprehend it and a sort of exchange began between me and my mind during which the neoption became transcribable into words. This took about fifteen minutes and, satisfied that I “had the picture”, went on my walk and on my return composed the entry below. * See “New Words Coined” in The ‘Quo Vadis?’ File III. Result: IT - the indescribable and undefinable.

Although it is commonly conceived as such IT is not light; yet IT is not dark or darkness - IT is simply without light. IT is neither light nor darkness.

The biblical, ‘ . . . . and the Lord said, “Let there be light and there was light”’ applies to the creation of energy and, thence, light. Obviously, therefore, the “Lord” is not light.

The common conception if IT [The Great Spirit, God, Allah et al] as some thing approximating human form, a crutch for leaning on, and light in various forms and manifestations, probably stems from the early earthling experience where we saw the sun as “God” and worshipped it in awe.

Note: Until very recently I have conceptualized IT as a form of light but, today, my awareness of it has consolidated as above.

Tags: meditation; IT;

☛ CLOSING COMMENT. In concluding the above I am aware that there are numerous relevant dreams that I did not record in my journal. There are many about the themes Holyrood and Plantations, many of which were about searching for clean spring water and piping it to my plantation workers; the internal refurbishing of bungalows, the state of the work on East Holyrood as well as the mentality of its workers (notoriously very bad) and advice about my move to Holyrood. There were also quite a few about the plantations Ingoya, Houpe, Andigama and, perhaps, a couple of others. Some of these may have been apparently meaningless and left out for that reason.

Apart from the Holyrood advisory dreams, which were obviously part of the Holyrood theme, the dreams about refurbishing, being about the inside of bungalows, were likely to have been about improvements to my body as a result of spiritual progress, dietary improvements, self-healing by meditational focus etc. or improvements to my state of being.

Another frequently appearing symbol was that of bowel excretions. Often these were messy to various degrees and may have appeared at the times when I was not recording dreams though not because I was not recording my dreams and certainly not because of any reluctance on my part to expose such dreams. Such dreams symbolise the elimination of traits - in all the meanings of the word - and are, therefore, very important.

Finally, the material here should be sufficient to warrant the study of one’s dreams for the simple reason that they are so valuable to one in life. However, as in all things spiritual, do ensure that your motive is pure.

DREAM SYMBOLOGY Foreword. !

The meaning of a symbol varies according to the context of the dream, the context of the symbol within the dream, the dreamerʼs primary feeling about it or picture of it and, perhaps, others. !

However, my personal experience allows me to compile a list of possible or probable meanings for use as a guide or a study tool. The dreamer should always try to use their intuition, preferably honed by experience, to interpret a dream. !

Religious/spiritual identities are not listed as there are too many possibilities. Suffice is to say that whoever the identity appearing in a dream it is the dreamerʼs impression of that identity that applies.

Dream types. !

Nightmares: The symbology of nightmares is that there is something the dreamer needs to do or correct and that repetition of the dream, often with minor variations, until the dreamer does what is necessary. !

Other: Dreams originate in the subconscious and the superconscious; the former is that level of awareness within a range of depth below the conscious and the latter is that

innate awareness that we call the spirit, or God, self amongst other things - the spiritual entity as different from the Earthly self or earthling. !

The former are often the result of a physical condition during sleep such as cramp, bed wetting, being entangled in a sheet, a knock on the door or the phone sounding. There also seems to be a large proportion simply related to the mind processing the experiences of the previous day or recent days.

Dream Purpose. !

What should always be remembered is that dreams are simply the way in which the spirit self communicates with its earthling identity to guide and advise and, perhaps, at times even to entertain!

Note: In this list where the symbolism comes from the Cayce Readings exclusively it will be indicated by a [C]. However, there are many more interpretations given in the Cayce Readings and set out in Elsie Sechristʼs book Dreams: Your Magic Mirror (A.R.E. Press and A.R.E. Bookstore) which I strongly recommend to anyone interested in this subject.

A Animal = generally symbolises what the dreamer feels about it.

B Black = mysterious; negative if dull; positive if shiny; mystery [C] death [C], evil [C], ! darkness [C].

Blonde = high quality thoughts - if lustrous; Blue = the Truth [C]; true[C]; Brown = Generally negative but context important e.g. Good soil; Bed = A situation created [from the saying, “you have made your bed so lie in it.”]; rest or ! sex [C]; Bread = food for thought - hence, knowledge; Bridge = crossing, bridging a gap; check number of spans; Building = as in verb; as in noun; Bus = collective e.g. Human psyche, group of people e.g. town, city, country; overweight !

Elevation = literal indicator of spiritual achievement or potential; Engine = motivation; source of power; performance;

F Factory = making or finishing something; Flying = positive spiritual indicator; Food = Diet; spiritual nourishment; Fox = See A and foreword paragraph #1.

Hands = actions - condition is indicative; Hat = state of mind (spiritual); mental state (medical); Horse = chakra [C]; See A and foreword paragraph #1.

House = state of mind/being, spiritual state; about the body - condition, style, period are clues; self [C];

I J Jewelry = spiritual riches or richness; worldly riches (perhaps);

K L Land Rover = the Land Rover is well respected for its stability, off road capabilities, reliability etc. Also, having an aluminium body, it does not rust.

Light/s = illumination of something; enlighten/ing; Lottery = taking a chance, a gamble;

M Money = dependent on its description/qualities as expressed in the dream; Monkey = See A and foreword paragraph #1.

Motorcycle = balance; Mountain = challenge; perceived obstacle; achievement (if on top);

N Numbers: Consider personal impression, numerology, association with something done (or to be done) in life;

!

Below are the basic symbolism as given in the Cayce Readings but there are numerous alternatives and purchase of the book Dreams: Your Magic Mirror by Elsie Sechrist [A.R.E. Bookstore] is strongly recommended.

1 = the beginning, centre, alpha, the Great Spirit; the list is endless (my paraphrasing).

2 = strength or weakness; 3 = great strength; 4 = the four corners of the Earth, the four lower centres or natures of man and, therefore, ! also the body; 5 = activity or activity relating to change; 6 = strength as 3 + 3 or, “depending on other relationships” the weakness of 3.

7 = usually a mystical relationship or conclusion; 8 = “Eight may be double (the) weakness of 4 or a combination of strengths. It may also ! express vacillation.”

9 = a finish, an imminent change in life, completion; 10 = “In the number ten we have the completion of numbers and a strength seldom found. !

This results from the combination of the forces of manifested. A completion through ! a return to the ONE.” 11 = shows the beauty as well as the weakness of numbers; 12 = “Twelve is a combination of forces that brings those strengths into the world ! necessary to replenish it spiritually.” The hands of a clock close to the number 12 ! could represent the end of one experience and the beginning of another. (Sechrist).

Reduce higher numbers to the above or consider personal or topical significance of the number as it appears in the dream.[IG]
