“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Dream images are indeed, in density, between the tangible nature of physical objects and the intangible reality that is entirely independent of physical matter. The dream reality cannot be entirely disconnected from the material universe because of its connections with human personality. There is a dependence here.

The dream images however are projections sent out, so to speak, by the personality, and many astral projections occur within the dream state of which the waking personality is unaware. In this case the projection is simply of a kind that allows manipulation back and forth between two realities. The dreamer who dreams he was in Paris may well have been there.

Dream images, not astral projections, operate within certain electrical limits, limits that form the boundaries of the dream universe. Dream images are nevertheless almost fibrous projections, almost a thinned-out composition, more plastic basically than physical matter, but composed of a number of the same properties. For again there must be this connection between the nature of dreams and the matter of physical reality.

We will use an analogy for its excellent implications. It is as if the personality in sleep projected out of himself bits of himself, of his own physical matter, thinned out, stretched into an amazing plasticity; plastic properties that can change instantly from one form to another. He goes out with these portions of himself, but because of the nature of reality projections cannot be recalled.

You create them both waking and sleeping, although you are not aware of them in the waking state. You constantly project and constantly emit energy in meaningful patterns on as many layers of activity as possible.

These are quite legitimate realities that continue in their own fashion, even though you are no longer concerned with them. They remain connected to you, that is to the personality, however, and are a part of the overall reality of the self. You partake of their energy.

Oftentimes you send out dream images within a dream framework from your own nerve centers. These then work out problems for you, and the answer is given to you subconsciously.

The reality and the framework within which these sessions exist have electrical and chemical organizations also, that require a delicate focus that was upset this evening. It is simply more difficult then for Ruburt to make the necessary inner adjustments.

Distractions, or fear of distractions, have their own reality, and set up strongly positive electrical charges which can be detrimental, although other conditions, chemical and electrical conditions, must also be considered. We do have a good start however.
