In the dream state these reactions are more easily triggered. This is the result of a lowering of egotistic guards, for the ego sets up controls that act as resistance to various channels, so that many connections are closed. All of these systems are interconnected. They all operate simultaneously. However, the personality is certainly not aware of their existence on a conscious level a good deal of the time.

In such circumstances these perceptions may find their way to the ego, appearing as inspirations or intuitive thought. It is obvious that many such intuitions appear when the personality is in a dreaming state or in states of dissociation. The intuitions themselves, while seemingly mental, are action, and as such they produce changes in the physical organism, both chemical and electromagnetic.

Illnesses must be treated primarily however by changing the basic mental habits, for unless this is done the trouble will erupt time and time again in different guises. However, the system obviously has the ability to heal itself, and every opportunity should be given so that it is allowed to do so. To my knowledge nothing is known about the healing effect that often occurs in dreams themselves. For a wholly destructive attitude of mind has been changed overnight in the dream state to a constructive condition, and the whole electromagnetic balance has been changed.

Surely investigation should be done to probe into this matter. In such a case negative ions form an electrical framework in which healing is possible. Such healing dreams come most often when the inner self deeply feels a sense of desperation, and automatically opens up channels from deeper layers of the self, that have been closed for all effective purposes.

Now we come to see one of the main points of this discussion. These therapeutic dreams, with practice, can be brought about through self-suggestion. To some extent this is not unknown. Various old cults have used this method, but it can be quite practical in modern life.

The overall health of the individual and the delicate balance of electromagnetic properties are important, for when the organism is set deeply in destructive patterns, then this may be also felt in the dream state, so that destructive dreams add to the overall unfortunate state.

Dreams are indeed symptomatic of the personality’s overall condition at any given time, but they also help form that condition. The connections here are extremely complicated, and yet use of suggestion in bringing about constructive changes through dreams can be of great benefit.
