long
and six to eight inches wide. I am looking
down on
its back. I pick up a stick, which is
gray like a piece of
driftwood and about a foot long, and
place it along the
fish. I count six measurements and
say, "It is six feet
long," meaning that it is at least that
long. On the other
side of the dock, which
is about thirty feet wide, is
another long net full of shell fish and fish,
or a stack of
clams and shellfish. I think it is a
clambake and think I
will go over and get something to eat.

I
am standing in front of a mirror brushing
my hair. I
come closer to the mirror and hold back my
hair with my
hand. I notice that all along the hair line there
is new hair
starting to grow. I am surprised but pleased. (S.L.B.,
Jackson, New Jersey)
I
am out in a crowd. All my caps (12 in all)
fall off my
teeth. Bit by bit little pieces keep falling out of my mouth.
I hold the pieces in my hand. They get
very warm and
pliable. I end up with a globby looking thick paste.

North Palm Beach, Florida)
I
am with a group of religious zealots. Suddenly we are
surrounded by a rival group who s tart
putting our eyes
out for not having "true beliefs."
Time passes and my
group becomes powerful. We then do the same
thing to
the other group. Suddenly I realize the horrors
of what I
am doing. I begin to weep.
I walk up to three of my
victims, put my arms around them,
and ask for their
forgiveness.
(D.B., Washington, B.C.)
The
above dreams were dreamed in advance of the
publication of the first
issue of the Journal. The
dreams that follow were dreamed by subscribers who
had received and read the first issue.
I
am attending a lecture with
a huge stadiumsize
crowd about a new movementthe Sundance movement.
Movies are shown about its philosophy and philanthropy.
There is a strong sense of power
and creative energy.
