In another dream, Betty reports being handed a book-like object by the Leader. The object feels symbolic, as if intended to mark an agreement or convey meaning. The pages appear blank or filled with shifting characters she cannot interpret.
She dreams that she is allowed to keep it, creating a sense of trust. Later in the dream sequence, the object is taken back, causing her emotional distress. The symbolic rhythm of gift and withdrawal feels archetypal.
Fuller highlights this moment as central to Betty’s dream worldview and strikingly similar to later hypnosis sessions.
