“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are quite aware of these constructions as the inner self keeps track of them. You act out many possibilities within dream reality, and within dreams you try out alternatives, and not necessarily short term ones.

In your present daily life the same process continues. Most of these dreams are very disconnected from the ego, and will seldom be recalled. The self who pursues these divergent paths is actual however. These are legitimate projections. They represent systems of reality of which you are not aware.

Now the dreams that you would have, and had, in shared experience, are root dreams. Such root dreams serve as a method of maintaining inner identity, and of communication. There may be flashes of realization in such dreams. Projections may occur also from root dreams. You may project for example into the life of that physician.

Most of these are not as symbolic however as Jung thought them to be, though he used a different term, and had only a dim conception of them. Many root dreams are literal interpretations of abilities used by the inner self.
