“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I will see if you can discover these for yourselves, but if not I shall point them out for you when the time comes. I do not believe that it is possible for you to carry your dream experiments far enough to discover certain other factors that do exist between various layers of the subconscious, and falling temperature rates in the physical organism. Therefore I will mention the point here.

It would be necessary to take your temperature many times during the evening, and to correlate the findings with the various levels of the subconscious as they displayed themselves through their characteristic activities within the dream series. Such an experiment would be extremely difficult.

It should be noted however, that with the exception of several other circumstances the various levels of the subconscious can be found to fall within definite temperature ranges. To some extent this fact can be ascertained through hypnosis. However, suggestion as to the effect that the subject’s temperature should rise or fall would tend to obscure the effect.

This correlation between the layers of the subconscious and temperature ranges is true, or rather observable, only when the personality is in an inactive state. Suggestions of motion or excitement given to it would change and affect the temperature reading, so that this characteristic temperature range could be unnoticed.
