“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I did not then distinguish as to whether or not, in this particular case, what you thought was true. It was true enough on certain levels. Your emotional answer however did prevent me from searching further for the answer.

Now. You form your dreams on many levels, as you know. In some of them you spread your own root assumptions outward, creating dream images based upon these assumptions. I must use these assumptions in interpreting our data during experiments. If you give me for example a card that was sent with love, then the love is far more real to me than the card. I follow these emotional charges most minutely, using great discrimination in order to let myself be led to the specific object.

I mentioned that objects are symbols to express a basic reality, the reality of direct experience. On one level dreams deal with objects and dream images. Here they are still being used as symbols. At deeper levels however in the dream state there is direct experience, and objects are not used.

With some individuals some of these dreams may also represent personal symbolisms, but the original dream in the raw, unembellished, is a root dream. The embellishments are added after the dream is completed, just before the point when you remember it on a conscious level. The embellishments may be portions of other dreams, recalled now out of context, and attached to your memory of the original root dream.

The world as you know it is mankind’s creation, and his abilities and limitations are all in evidence there. Within the dream state all mankind knows the outcome of any given dilemma. No predestination is involved. The problems have already been worked out on a mental or psychic level, but not yet physically materialized.
