Nerve patterns are indeed very important here, and mechanisms of metabolism. An understanding of the methods used by the dreamer to construct dream images will, however, allow you to understand more clearly those other constructions. The chemical percentages are important here; that is, the chemical percentages vary from those found in the body during what you call normal states of consciousness.

The dream images are indeed extensions, not only of the psychic or inner self, but a definite extension of the electromagnetic and chemical properties that operate through the physical self. It is indeed as if extensions of nerve endings reached out in self-expansion, making new connections, and this is indeed what occurs in the creation of dream images.

There is indeed a knack required here. Primitive peoples use it all unknowing. Unfortunately, in civilized conditions it sometimes needs relearning. All methods of gaining and renewing energy are important, in ordinary living and in our sessions.

Ruburt is indeed being very cautious. But he is learning to open up more in these tests, to let more information through. The opening up of the channels is the important thing. Oftentimes information will come through in a rather indiscriminate fashion, and a spontaneous (underline spontaneous) choice of available information is important. A variety of impressions may be received, many valid, but not closely connected enough for your purposes. So it is in the area of distinctions that we must work.
