Now, Ruburt has had the first of the seven dreams. (See the 497th session, for July 7, 1969.) It is the dream of the sands, and I mentioned the series of dreams earlier. I want to give you an explanation of that dream.

First, the dream. Ruburt saw you and he standing in the middle of an infinite plain of sand. The sands were marked with names and messages. To the left and to the right there were mountains of sand. To the left he saw people approaching the sands upon which he stood. To the right people were leaving the plains of sand, yet the plain itself was empty, filled only with the messages that were written there.

Two things in the dream held him back: a gigantic nostalgia for the writings in the sand that had remained for so long, the jottings of children—and for a moment he did not want to be part of anything that would wipe them out. He wondered aloud in the dream whether or not you and he should really be there: what credentials you had that would give you the right to make new footprints.

When he begins to walk across the sand, and you with him, new messages will appear there. They will be a signal for those people on the left. In your terms those people will be drastically different than those who have gone before. They will not walk upon the old ideas nor dwell within their reality.

You are clearing the sands for them, and giving them new guideposts and in Ruburt’s dream he felt them waiting.

Now. There is also a symbolism here with the parting of the waters, a silence and abeyance, a hush. He sees you standing in the middle. See now the empty plain, as a scooped-out and hollow place from which the water has fled. The sand mountains to the left and right.

(10:33. Jane said she had been far out in trance. As she spoke she was back in the dream location; she saw the sand and the water; amusingly, she also worried about the water “coming back in,” she said. Her pace had been fairly rapid.

(To me.) You will experience your own version in your own way, and your own statement of your situation, Joseph. The whole sand of the plain also represented then a page that must be entirely rewritten.

Give us a moment, Joseph. (Long pause.) I told you to take a week to prepare yourself through dream recall for your experiments. For several evenings, see yourself in the environment of Ruburt’s dream as given. As you fall asleep give yourself the suggestion that you and he begin to walk upon the sand. See the both of you together, and hand in hand. Now Ruburt should do the same exercise.
