You see, then, that while the personality can act in a more or less normal manner while in the dream state, he can also act in ways that are denied him in periods of so-called normal consciousness. He has freedoms and abilities and talents in the dream state of which his waking self may be unfamiliar.

However the limitations can be diminished, and the waking personality can avail himself of many characteristics shown by the sleeping self.

The sleeping personality is as close to the inner self as you will come in this existence, for here the personality is soon free of the camouflage concerns with which it must be involved in the waking condition.

First, problems are worked out within the dream framework. Answers and solutions are arrived at. These answers and solutions are then transformed into physical reality. No dream is meaningless. No dream lacks purpose. Each dream has meaning to all levels of the personality, and one dream object is a symbol which is translated by all layers of the self, in a mathematics which is more complicated than any dealt with by your physical computers.

This same dream, however, will deal with many other actualities. It will serve as a method of communication between the various portions of the self. It will deliver information concerning past and future, and if proper suggestions are given it, then the self will use the dream drama particularly to better the overall condition of the personality.

You recall that all experience has an electrical reality, deposited from birth within the physical cells of the body, so that at physical death we have an electrical counterpart of the physical being with all memory and experience intact. Were such experience a part of the physical self, and dependent upon it, the personality could hardly survive physical death. And were dreams so connected to the physical self, then whole areas of the personality would dissolve with physical extinction.

Simple questions. It is because the man thinks differently that he has the ulcer, for the ulcer is the result of his characteristic method of thought. It is the result of his characteristic manner of viewing reality. This causes him to add to his self-image, in reality, that disability. The ulcer is formed intimately from the electrical reality that composes his thoughts. Do you find that a satisfactory answer?
