“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If you recall the dream it may seem to you that you were in your physical body. Your physical root assumptions in this case would be so strong that you could not imagine yourself, even in a dream, without a physical body. We have discussed the various forms actually used, however.

Falling dreams also belong to the root dream category. They also represent direct experience, as the inner self once more reenters the physical body. No up or down really exists, you see, but the root assumptions take these directions for granted, and the fear of falling is a learned response. It is learned early, but it is learned.

The physical body as an object is, among other things, a symbolic representation of your own emotional reality. (Long pause.) Your dreams and your waking experiences both closely mirror your psychic condition. Symbols may be individualistic to some small extent, but physical bodies are your main symbols. While they are all amazingly different, the basic symbol within your system is universally accepted as a reality.
