This concept is hardly a new one. It is not a generally accepted theory, but it has ancient roots. When you carry the waking I into the dream state, this is one approach to this different consciousness. There is also an opening up that can occur in the waking condition. When this occurs the inner and outer egos merge. The outer ego recognizes its own duties, but it is aware that more is involved.

Identity is no longer limited to the outer ego alone. The outer ego is now familiar with the whole self, or the entire identity, and has available to it strength of which it was not previously aware. In periods of exuberance, when you are working well, and your health is extraordinarily good, when you are able to remember and manipulate your dreams, then such periods are signs of the emergence of this new consciousness.

When these symptoms show themselves, then he should look out for health difficulties. There is nothing seriously wrong with his system, nor do I foresee any serious difficulties. However he has his own pattern. The symptoms are these: Poor memory, or none, of his dreams; no poetry; a consistent lower-than-usual level of exuberance. These are the main ones, and I am speaking of perhaps a two-month period here.
If these persist for this period, you see, only then can they be considered in this light. For if they endure for this time they will almost certainly give rise to physical symptoms. Readjustment does not lie, in his particular case, in the present, with soaking his foot for example; but with a return to some definite poetry schedule, to finishing one book now at a time, to renewing the dream suggestions which he has discarded. These will take care of the physical symptoms.

Much of the needed development takes place in the dream state. I wanted to mention that particular dream of yours, Joseph, in which you saw yourself at your back window. There was a merging of inner and outer egos. The startled outer ego did indeed hold you back from an excellent projection.
