“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is a rather important section in the work he did today. He hit upon something, and if he had continued working, then he would not have needed to ask me in what dimension dream locations exist. He was close to the answer. In this particular section he told the reader that he suspected that Freud’s terms, the ego, or the conscious and the subconscious, had in themselves led you seriously astray. Such is indeed the case.

For you see, you think that you are only conscious when you are focused in physical reality. You assume yourselves unconscious while you are sleeping. In Freud’s terminology, the dice are indeed loaded, on the side of the conscious mind.

Pretend, all of you for a moment, that you are looking at this situation from the other side. Pretend that while you are in the dream state, you are concerned with the problem of consciousness and existence. From that viewpoint the picture is entirely different, for you are indeed conscious while you sleep.

What you have is this. Let us speak no more of a conscious self and a subconscious or unconscious self. There is one self, and it focuses its consciousness in various dimensions, and that is all.

In the waking state the whole self is focused toward physical reality. In the dreaming state the whole self is focused within a different dimension. It is every bit as conscious and aware.
