<TITLE>08. Par 31-35</TITLE>L-31 The only thing that I can do to help you, is by a Divine gift that was ministered to me, as a baby, when I wasn't a few minutes old. My mother's coming up, I think, this next week. I wish for her to come to the platform and testify. Let her tell you what happened on the morning. I've got a lovely, old, Irish mother, and I... It was nothing that I had to do with it. God sent it, not to me, to work through here to you. You're the one. And He's a vindicated it everywhere. The only thing that I can do... Now, that you might not get a superstition, the only thing that I could do is say what I see.

L-32 For instance, if I was standing in Philadelphia at this time, and I was standing there on the street, I'd say... I know I'm conscious, I'm on the street, but I could say, "I see an auditorium. There's people gathered. It's a hot night. They're fanning. There's a man setting before me with a--with a blue shirt on. He's got a... He's setting in some kind of a little chair, over--looked like, where they scoot him around. He's got a Bible in..." That's all. Then it could leave me. I'd say, "Well," just as natural as I'm standing here, I'd say, "I seen a--a auditorium somewhere." See? "I seen this, that..." Just what I see, that's all I can say. And that was given by a Divine gift, that was given by Almighty God. Which is, conscientiously speaking, or trying to say the best that I know how, God foreordained things to be.

L-33 Look here. How many in here ever dreamed a dream? Let's see your hand. Well, the bigger percent of you... Well, what if I said, "You dream me a dream, now." Could you do it? No, sir, it's impossible. So is it impossible to me to see a vision for this woman or that man. Just as... Ever who gives you that dream, it's up to them. It's not up to you. No matter how much you want it, it's what they say. Is that... Whether God gives it to you or not... Is that right? That's the same way it is here.
Well, there is people in here, that I noticed hands awhile ago, that never dreamed dreams. They just sleep sound; they don't dream at all. Now, I'm going to try, because I know there's people here that, now, don't try argue with me. I know there's people here that does not understand. See?

L-34 Here's what it is: here's a man's conscious, right here, the conscious you live in now. We're taught by science that you're dreaming, you're in your subconscious. Did you ever see a person dreaming? You think you dreamed all night. It isn't that long. [Brother Branham snaps his fingers--Ed.] Just a moment, you...?... a little bit. You've done dreamed hours of dreams, you think.
But just a moment, a flash while it's going through... The person that's dreaming is not sound asleep. But you people here who--who does not dream dreams, your subconscious will be back to a place where you do not reach to it in sleep. You can't help that; you can't help it. You were born that way. Something that has the rulership over you, and made you, made you that way; you can't help it. And you people who dream dreams, you can't help that. Wasn't it... You don't have no control of it; it's your subconscious.

L-35 Now, I want to ask you something. Now, listen close. Now, when you are asleep, there's many times in this conscious here, when this conscious's not active, you go out of this conscious into sleep, wake up over here in dream land, as we call it. Now, you can remember things in here, or dream about things that you done while you were in this conscious. Is that right? And then when you wake up out of there, and up here, in the first conscious, then you remember things that you dreamed about, is that right, things that you dreamed years ago. But those people who don't dream, they were made, and their subconscious is way back, they don't dream at all, parable-y speaking now.
