In our dream experiments therefore, this is one of the purposes that we hope to achieve. The ego is not equipped of itself to delve directly into nonphysical realities. If the ego is trained to be flexible however, it will accept such knowledge from the subconscious, and other wider horizons of the self.

Our ego must have its feet upon the solid earth, it is out of its element, naked and in an unfamiliar environment, outside of the normal characteristics of physical existence. Its basic distrust of dream experience is necessary for the overall balance of the personality. Physical reality is a rock to which the ego must cling, and from which it achieves its power, energy, position, and reason for existence.

This will then allow us to proceed into the relationship between the waking and sleeping personality, and discover the many ways in which the personality’s aims and goals are not only reflected but sometimes achieved in and through the dream condition.

In our final discussions we will, in a practical manner, discuss the ways in which conscious goals can be achieved with the help of the sleeping personality. All of this material will be reinforced with experiments that I hope you will conduct yourselves.
