“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. A word concerning the dream experiments. You may try these at your convenience. Obviously because of your schedule you cannot at this time embark upon any rigorous experimentations in this respect, for your sleep would sadly suffer.

Now we all know that various kinds of experimentation is being done, are being done, concerning the dream state. However, very little work, if any, is being carried on along the lines I am about to suggest.

(Jane had been smoking. Her eyes now slightly open, she put her cigarette out.)

I will now suggest your break.

You have many more than five dreams a night, however. I believe Ruburt’s top number of recalled dreams for one night was thirteen. Now there is something else here that must be considered. The very self-suggestions that will enable you to recall your dreams may also change their nature, to some extent, for any action changes any other action.

You may try two different wordings for a start, and now I am speaking of the precise wording. The first: “I will wake up after each of my first five dreams, and record each one immediately.”

Now the second alternative wording would be the same as the one I have just given you, but the “wake up” could be omitted. That is, it is possible you see, for you to record these dreams, speaking into the microphone without awakening, in your terms.

(Jane’s eyes were now open again, wide this time and very dark. She was again smoking, and speaking rather quickly.)

(Jane’s eyes were now closed.)

Now mankind uses but a portion of his capabilities, and when you are along in these experiments, properly set up, you will find that you handle them very well, with no draining of energies or difficulties. Your sleeping hours are already productive. We shall also use them to give you training in the utilization of various stages of consciousness, that will result in time with excellent control over various aspects and stages of your own awareness.

I now suggest your break.

(It was now time for the 15th Dr. Instream clairvoyant test. As usual Jane spoke now with her eyes closed, except for one instant when she put out her cigarette. Her voice was quiet, her pace not too slow for the most part except for a few long pauses. Resume at 10:07.)

(Jane now took a long pause.)

Now he switches off the light and tries without it. I believe he has on a white shirt, and loose collar, and he thinks, “Well now, Seth, well now. What about it, huh?” (Pause.)

Now we can as you prefer, Joseph, go more deeply into this now, or at our next session.
