Dr. HV Helprecht, Professor of Assyrian at the University
of Pennsylvania, wrote as follows: “One Saturday evening… I
had been wearying myself, in the vain attempt to decipher two
small fragments of agate which were supposed to belong to
the finger rings of some Babylonians.
“About midnight, weary and exhausted, I went to bed and
dreamed the following remarkable dream: A tall thin priest
of Nippur, about forty years of age, led me to the treasure
chamber of the temple… a small, low-ceilinged room without
and lapis-lazuli lay scattered on
the floor. Here he addressed me as follows: The two fragments,
which you have published separater on pages 22 and 26 belong
ogether, [and] are not finger rings. I first two rings served
as earrings for the statue of the god; the wo fragments (you
have). are the portions of them. If you will put them together
u will have confirmation of my words.” I awoke at once. I
examined the fragments, and to my astonishment found the
dream verified. The problem was then at last solved.”
This demonstrates clearly the creative manifestation of his
subconscious mind which knew the answer to all his problems.
