You may now take your first break, and we shall consider these emotional systems in the relation to the personality in the dream state.

Now, this same sort of emotional system operates in the sleeping state as well as in the waking state, though there are differences in that the personality will allow greater leeway in the dream state. But even in the sleeping condition, as should be obvious, the individual accepts and attracts certain experiences and blocks out others. You know that telepathy and clairvoyance operate rather freely in the dream state. However the nature of such experiences is strongly dependent upon the particular emotional system that is characteristic of any given personality.

Dreamer “A” for example may pick up telepathically a small but particular portion of a dream by dreamer “B”. Dreamer “A” need not necessarily have an emotional connection with dreamer “B”. However there will be at the very least an emotional connection between the event within dreamer “B’s” dream, that has strong meaning for dreamer “A”. A man may dream of a childhood experience in which he was bitten by a dog. Another man who was also bitten by a dog, may then for example telepathically pick up the original dream. Not because he is necessarily connected with the dreamer, but because the experience will strike at him emotionally, and he will then attract the dream.

Definite electromagnetic actions will therefore occur between the two dreamers, and there may be a spilling over of data, or dream information, before the circuit is closed. You must realize that I am not speaking symbolically. I am speaking in very practical terms. The electromagnetic systems do indeed exist, and when they are open telepathic communications can travel through.

The same also applies to clairvoyance, or to be more precise, precognition, although here we are involved with something more. I have explained how dream images are constructed. You realize that they also have an electromagnetic reality, so there is no difficulty in their transmission from one dreamer to another.

All of these reality systems of which we have been speaking are closely connected. Every thought has this same electric potential. Thoughts are often translated into dream images by a simple transformation. There is little difference indeed, basically, between physical images and dream images, and apparitions, and very little difference between these and thoughts and emotions.
