Edgar Cayce & Dreams

Kevin Todeschi, spokesperson for A.R.E., the organization which Edgar Cayce founded, talked about Cayce's life and work as well as dream interpretation. Known as the Sleeping Prophet, Cayce gave out thousands of readings while in a trance state, and those concerning medical issues had a 93% accuracy rating, Todeschi reported. (Many of Cayce's treatment overviews are featured on A.R.E.'s site.)

Cayce believed that Atlanteans saved records of their advanced civilization in three locations-- in the Yucatan, on the Bimini Islands and in the right paw of the Sphinx. Buried at the Sphinx is a written history of the world from the time of Atlantis to our current era, he predicted. A University recently got the OK to do some underground tunneling to study parts of the Sphinx, Todeschi announced.

You can write out a question before going to sleep, and often receive answers in your dreams, which impart subconscious knowledge from within yourself, Todeschi suggested. Cayce believed that dreams brought people closer to the "superconscious mind" which is a throughway to the Akashic Records-- a "universal library" for every soul where "probabilities" are constantly being calculated. Themes and symbols play an important part in dream interpretation, said Todeschi, who noted that global themes (such as wars and disasters) typically represent personal issues in the dreamer's life.

Cayce & Death

America's great clairvoyant Edgar Cayce offered dream interpretations as part of his readings while in a trance state. On one occasion, while in a trance, he experienced a dream in which he encountered Death, as a personality or individual. Cayce wrote:

I remarked to Death, 'You are not as ordinarily pictured with a black mask or hood, or as a skeleton or like Father Time with a sickle. Instead you are fair, rosy-cheeked, robust and have a pair of shears or scissors.'

The being explained to him that death "is not the horrible thing" that people typically expect, and the scissors are a representative implement of life and death-- they "unite by dividing, and divide by uniting."

Cayce came to conclude that the death state is a more normal one for the soul than earthly existence, and that the question of whether consciousness survives death was backwards. The significant question for the soul was how much of its creativity and divine essence would survive its birth into a body.
