Psychological time is so a part of inner reality that even though the inner self is still connected to the body, you are, in the dream framework, free of some very important physical effects.

Within any given five minutes of clock time, for example, you may find an hour of resting which is independent of clock time.

In other words, peeping inwards and outwards at the same ‘time’ you will find that all divisions are illusion and all time is one time. …
