“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Dream images are in a most vital manner extensions of the self. They are projected from the self, extending outward indeed like branches from a tree. Yet they are individual, and have an amount of freedom as even leaves do. And as branches are composed of all those elements that make up the whole tree, so indeed dream images are composed of those elements that make up the personality.

The field that connects the personality to this kind of pseudoimage is actually formed by extensions of psychic energy. Imagine it, the field, if you will, as a thin but sturdy thread that connects the pseudoimage with the original image. There are some limitations here then as to range. These are not basic limitations, but have to do with the individual’s ability to so extend himself. Many dreams involve such roamings on the part of the personality while it is within this sort of pseudoimage.

When others are present there is simply more energy available. Yet again, such use of energy does not imply a depletion. I am not stealing energy from others. In actuality Ruburt uses the energy, for it is in a form which is more accessible to him than to me. There is a pooling of energy in such cases, and in such a pooling of energy telepathic communications are facilitated; for the many selves present, in pooling their energy, extend themselves.
