You would have made an excellent doctor, for example. In your terms you worked out this possibility by weaving, over a period of three years, a dream framework in which you learned exactly what your life would have been, had you gone into medicine.

Again, this was more than imagination. In the dream state you experienced literally a future life that existed as a definite possibility. You examined a probability, in other words, and chose another.

The physician, you see, existed in some dimension, and continues to do so. Obviously there were financial limitations as far as education was concerned. Subconsciously however you leaned in that direction to some fairly considerable extent. This is all difficult to explain. You met, for example, patients. Some of these people you also know in the life that you chose.

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.
