God Provides
Dreamed by Edgar Cayce, May 1937
Introduction
I haven't included much Edgar Cayce material in the World Dream Bank, as most of his trance-messages aren't dreams, and are strictly medical diagnoses or prescriptions--VERY useful for his patients, but of less interest to general readers. Here, though, is an example of a dream that's about his own problems. Cayce's policy was not to charge for readings, so his purchase of a house--especially during the Depression--seemed risky.

God Provides
...it looked like Cayce would lose his house. Again Cayce had nowhere to turn--except God. As happened often during personal crisis, he had a dream, this more singular than most because it visualized Jesus Christ, with whom Cayce felt a lifelong communion.
In this dream, recorded in May 1937, when the world was avidly following the romance of the Duke of Windsor and the American Wally Simpson, Cayce had attended a concert. After the performance, he noticed the Duke and Wally walking out in front of him. At that moment, a wraith-like figure approached Cayce with a smile. The lineaments were those of Jesus.On June 3, a woman came into Cayce's office and gave him a sealed envelope. It had been entrusted to her in Paris, by a woman who had told her about being helped by a Cayce reading. Cayce tore open the envelope. In it he found $1375, the precise amount he owed on the house.All four then adjourned to a sidewalk restaurant--in Paris. The bill came to $13.75, but Cayce, searching his pockets, found only three cents. "I can't pay this bill," he said desperately. The Duke and Wally had disappeared.
"Never mind," the visioned Jcsus said, "here is the $13.75. Don't worry. On the wedding day of the two who have just left us, your troubles will be over."
That same day, the former King of England and Wally Simpson were married.

AFTERWORD
The night after I read this in 1982, broke and ill, despairing I'd ever be financially secure, I dreamed Coyote the Trickster sent me cash! I woke, went to the bank, and found $1000 had appeared. No one could tell me where it was from. The staff assumed I was just careless. Nope! When you're poor you keep close track. Have to. A few weeks later another $200 appeared...
So I had $1200 to invest (which I did, saving up so I could eventually leave my dayjob and do art)... and to ponder.
Edgar Cayce's miracle dream was replicable.
