It is rather important that the reality of these electromagnetic systems be understood, as they are so important in the construction of physical images and dream images, and since they are responsible for the inner communication which takes place beneath consciousness.

This, and all such effects, represent one of the most basic ways in which one action causes another action to change. These definite fields operate as channels for inner communications. They may be formed instantly, sweeping out into other directions. They open through attraction. This attraction may originate as an emotional one, but the emotional feeling has its own electromagnetism, and the attraction is in direct proportion to the force of the emotion itself, or to the charge that the emotion may carry.

Briefly, I explained the way in which a dreamer may be telepathically in communication with another man’s dream. Not necessarily because he is aware of the man, for in many cases he is not. The telepathic communication arises as a result of an attraction, a personal emotional charge on the part of the second dreamer that allows him to open these channels of communication.

His unconscious communications will also follow this same pattern. This of course includes his dreams. It may be well to remember here that dreams exist even for an individual in the waking state, though he is not aware of them. His mind continues this activity even while the conscious self goes about its daily chores.

These dream activities have a pulsing quality that could be compared with the pulsing of heartbeat, and that are quite as vital to the human system. So much telepathic communication is received at this level that the lines of individuality are not as brilliant. Yet individuality does exist here, but it takes a strong organizing system, with amazing powers of discrimination, to handle such data; and it takes the human personality to stand firm upon its own identity while it is, on this other dreaming level, open to so many communications that are not its own.
