“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(While taking a nap late this afternoon, Jane had the dream detailed page 139.

(Reading some of the recent sessions on dreams earlier today, Jane got the idea that Seth would talk about dreams this evening.

It is basically as meaningless in essence, to ask this kind of question as it would be to pause in the middle of a dream, and wonder when first the dream location was created: To stand facing a dream landscape and wonder at what point in time the rocks had their origin. For there is a great similarity between the so-called world of dreams and the so-called world of matter, as you should know.

The material of the physical universe is created spontaneously and constantly, even as the dream locations in the dream world are so created; and as it is impossible in terms of time as you know it to set a point of beginning in the dream world, so it is impossible to attempt to do the same as far as the physical universe is concerned.

There has always been development, but not along any single line. You are only aware of development along certain lines because you focus upon some, and do not focus upon others. There is a give and take between the dream world and the physical world, and each makes or causes effects in the other.

In time as you know it, there simply is no point of first origin, since in the spacious present the past does not exist, as the future does not exist in those terms. The dream world is more closely connected with uncamouflaged experience in the spacious present, but it still is in a camouflage perspective, dealing with recognizable projections of material reality.

Because of its relative freedom, however, the self, returning from the dream world, can impart to the individual knowledge of much the physical self could not ordinarily be aware. Much of this knowledge, then, resides in the subconscious while the ego goes on its way.

This connection between the dream world and the world of material is not unusual.
