This period of involvement in the "inter-between," so to speak, can be shortened by the prayers of those still living in the earth plane, still in possession of conscious will, such as family and friends. Prayers for the dead are a concern in the Jewish belief as well as in the Roman Catholic teachings; only the Protestant group seems to make little of prayers for the dead, once the funeral is over.

As a Protestant, therefore, I had perceived through my dream researches that my father seemed to be having difficulty; certainly he needed guidance of some kind, for although he had been a religious man all his life, he had never shown any disposition to comprehend much beyond a three-dimensional nature. The "theory of relativity" would be beyond him by far, even though he was now living in the state of being where "relativity" was the condition, whether he could understand it or not. He was a traveler in a strange country without knowledge of the law, language, or customs.

This may be enacted by those forces that are taken into the system, and in the action of digestion that takes place under the guidance of subconscious forces, become a part of that force through which the spirit and soul of that entity passed at such time. Such manifestations are termed or called nightmares, or the abnormal manifestations on the physical plane of these forces.

In the normal force of dreams are enacted those forces that may be the foreshadow of condition, with the comparison by soul and spirit forces of the condition in various spheres through which this soul and spirit of the given entity has passed in its evolution to the present sphere. In this age, at present, 1923, there is not sufficient credence given dreams; for the best development of the human family is to give the greater increase in knowledge of the subconscious, soul or spirit world. This is a dream.

Q.-44. How should dreams be interpreted?

A-44. Depending upon the physical condition of the entity and that which produces or brings the dream to that body's forces.

The better definition of how the interpretation may be best is this: Correlate those Truths that are enacted in each and every dream .. . use such to the better developing, ever remembering develop means going toward the higher forces, or the Creator. (3744-4)
