On occasion the waking consciousness does participate during other usually very depressed periods. But generally speaking high energy is needed in order to maintain overall stability, and in order that the ego is not overstrained. Such conscious projections are automatically spaced out. In this way there is little danger that problems will arise.

It is the same with the conscious retention of dreams in general. You are indeed exercising what amounts to an added ability. You are learning to manipulate within other dimensions of consciousness. Automatic controls are therefore used. (Voice somewhat deeper.) You proceed as your abilities and control develop.

One point: There is involved here a freedom from your physical time that can be gained in no other way. This freedom is extremely refreshing, and has therapeutic results unless the experience is overindulged in. There is a benefit for the physical body also. It is momentarily free of any irritating demands put upon it by a divided personality, automatically for example free from aggressions and unhealthy aspects of this nature. I mentioned that double and even triple projections can occur as you adopt forms. These forms represent forms that your personality will take in future existences.
