shoulder high and straight out in front of me, I say, "Power
come!" Then a strange sensation of power, like a surge of electric current
flowing out through my hands, begins to flood my being. I feel sure I will be
able to heal Mr. F., Sr., when he arrives for dinner.
I awoke with the sensation of the current vivid in my memory. I noted the time as I began writing this strange dream in my journal. It was 2:50 a.m. The next morning my girlfriend phoned and started telling me about the hectic night she had been through. She and Mr. F., Jr., had come to his house where he was living with his father. They got into a terrible argument with Mr. F., Sr. At about three o’clock, her boyfriend had his arm back ready to swing and strike his elderly father.

During an afternoon nap I had this dream: I am looking at a bubble of water on our patio. A fish is swimming in it. I feel very awake, yet I know this cannot be reality. The bubble changes to a spot of light with a dark center. It begins to move toward me. I am very glad that I am going to be immersed in that light. As the light reaches me I feel a tingling, electrified sensation strongly centered in my right eye. When I awoke the pain was gone. I consider my eyes to be very precious, so I went in for the examination anyway. Both eyes checked out fine. A mother once awoke from a frightening dream remembering only that it was about a particular son in great danger. The dream’s emotional impact was vivid although the details were forgotten.
