So far you have analyzed these dreams as best you could, but soon you will begin to look at them in a new way. The dream experiments with the recorder will be much more proficient. These investigations will also deal with a systematic examination into all levels of consciousness.

Autohypnosis then will be utilized in an effort to discover what experiences are common in various levels or trance states, and these shall be examined in a search for primary and secondary conditions. These experiments however are for the future. Some of the data I will give you as a guide, but much you shall do on your own. There is no way to probe the realities of consciousness except that a personality travels through all levels of consciousness open to him, and do so in such a way that he can retain and apply the information that he receives in these inner travels.

Now. There are indeed common mental experiences that exist in all levels of consciousness, and these are what we shall be after.

Hypnosis is not generally understood in its true light. The hypnotist is not necessary except as a director; and indeed in most cases such a director is necessary. But the hypnotic state is simply a level of awareness in which the personality is freewheeling, so to speak, dissociated from physical reality in its usual terms.
