Other portions of the self, on the one hand, are not so limited. It must be clearly understood however that these other portions of the self are incapable of the ego’s intense focus within physical reality. Their focus is elsewhere. However, these selves are not limited as is the ego to one main field of perception only, in the manner which Dunne believes. Dunne does leave intervening areas between dimensions which may be perceived by an observer from a neighboring dimension, but all in all his serial selves are to some large degree prisoners of those dimensions in which they exist.

Two of these statements may appear at first glance to contradict themselves, but you shall shortly see that they do not, and you are left for now with a pretty question: for does the self, or identity, then form the perceptive dimension in which it exists, or is it created by the dimension?

There is nothing contradictory in the overall in supposing that these multitudinous selves exist simultaneously. And any law of physics that appears to make this supposition incorrect is a law that is an illusion, and that in itself leads to false perceptions.

In the dreaming state and in other states of consciousness, he can indeed to some degree become aware of perceptions which will be neglected by the ego alone. In other words, psychologically there is only one portion of self A that is limited in its perceptions to the physical dimension, and that is the ego.

But self A is not limited to the ego’s perceptions only, therefore it may be said that self A’s perceptions are not limited, in toto, to the field in which it exists. For it is not so limited in dreams and in other states, yet while consciousness is in these other conditions, self a still exists within physical reality.

If self A were limited to the perceptions of the ego, and if self A were limited then to the dimensions in which it found itself, then my dear friends precognition in dreams would be impossible, and in order to perceive the future self A would of necessity be forced to discontinue existence within the physical system.

You were dealing, indeed, with a legitimate perception into a dimension outside of the ones with which you are familiar, and with a distortion of a sort on your part, as once again you attempted to translate inner data into a form that could be perceived by the physical senses.
