What Edgar Cayce Taught About Dreaming and Dreams
Cayce Offered a Practical Explanation of Different Kinds of Dreams
Psychics, mediums and other telepathic individuals come and go through the decades, but the legacy of Edgar Cayce persists. His readings and his teachings about dreams continue to fascinate new generations of truth-seekers.
Cayce Said Dreams Are Presentations Made by God to the Dreamer
Edgar Cayce believed that, "Dreams, visions, impressions, to the entity in the normal sleeping state are the presentations of the experiences necessary for the development, if the entity would apply them in the physical life. These may be taken as warnings, as advice, as conditions to be met, conditions to be viewed in a way and manner as lessons, as truths, as they are presented in the various ways and manners."
Cayce revealed that dreams are actually journeys into the world of spirit. He said they serve to offer solutions to health problems, to allow visits with departed relatives and friends, and to foreshadow important events.
Dreams That Offer Solutions to Health Problems
Edgar Cayce maintained that the dreamer (entity) receives warnings, advice, and truths about his own physical body and health issues.
The messages come from a Higher Power, commonly called God or Spirit. Kevin Todeschi, author of An Overview of the Edgar Cayce Material, tells that a person who dreamed he was eating a salad was told by Cayce that he needed to add salads to his diet.
Another dreamed of a car and was told that it symbolized the human body and the need to make a change to correct a physical condition. Many other health-related examples can be found in the readings.
Dreams That Allow Visits With Departed Relatives or Friends
Edgar Cayce often spoke of the reality of discarnate entities who visit dreamers. Just as the angels spoke to people in dreams in Bible times, the spirit world still speaks to people today. Contact between the living and the dead must not be feared, he said, because “souls who had once entered the Earth had to learn their final lessons in the Earth,” and they need the living to help them through.
One man told Cayce that both his deceased parents came in a dream and told of his sister’s suicide. Cayce replied "This dream presents to the entity, through the mother and father both dead, the thoughts being entertained by the sister because of dissatisfaction to meet properly the conditions in her life. And as seen, the father and mother depend upon you to so instruct, to so direct, and to so counsel your sister. Give the sister spiritual counsel so that she may better understand, thereby enabling her to grow; otherwise, detrimental experiences will destroy her. Suicide is in her mind. Remember, too, that thoughts are deeds in the mental realm, and they increase or mar the activities of the higher self." [136-70]
Dreams That Foreshadow Important Events
For more than forty years, Edgar Cayce consistently reported that dreams foretell important events. These dreams, according to Cayce, are often forgotten and then the entity re-experiences them as feelings of déjà vu. He said “In the normal force of dreams are enacted those forces that may be the fore-shadow 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"
