Now. There were some notes I wanted to give you concerning dreams in which you feel certain that you are awake. When these dreams are unusually vivid, then the ego is aware of participating. The ego is not using its critical faculties however as a general rule.

When this occurs you will be able to use your normal abilities in addition to other abilities used while in the dream state itself. You will be certain of your identity. You will realize that your physical self is sleeping, or in a dream state, and that the inner self is fully awake. Now this represents a definite increase in the scope of consciousness, and a considerable expansion over the usual limitations set by you upon the self.

Now. Animals have indeed sensed such apparitions. There is hardly any magic involved. They react to the chemical properties of the apparition, and build up the image from it—from them, the properties.

You are exploring the inner contents of a moment, delving into its experience. Now this is what the ego does you see within a lifetime, only to a greater degree. In projections, and in your dreams, your perceptions to some extent enable you to leap out of the ego’s time limitations. The physical body is indeed the ego’s vehicle. You do not need it, you see, for projections.

Now. Ruburt knows of the hypnosis symposium, having seen a clipping. We will give some impressions concerning that symposium.

Four six, or 1 9 4 6, connected with the object. It is now, or was connected to, something that looks like an elasticized belt. (Pause.)

(Break at 10:26. Jane had been dissociated as usual. When she came out of trance now her eyes were bleary, and it was obvious that she was not at her best. She said that she knew the first data was off when I asked if she wanted to try again.

Now, my heartiest wishes to you both.

(End at 10:52. Jane was now very tired, and finally admitted it.)
