“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Maturity has nothing to do with the meaning of the reptiles and mammals mentioned as dream images. There is generic imprint stamped within the cells, and at various levels of cell consciousness. These are reactivated. The reptilian images do not represent maturity nor immaturity, but are simply designations natural to a particular level of cellular consciousness.

The difference noted in this respect between the dreams of men and women are only differences apparent within your own structure of civilization. In your social framework women are afraid of reptiles, and they do not consciously remember dreams involving these. Except in strong nightmare situations, they repress those images. They remember the mammal dreams more easily however because mammals are warmblooded creatures whose reproductive systems bear similarities to your own.

In your dreams, in other words, you are familiar with images like the mammals and reptiles, that would seem not to belong to the present. These however would seem to belong to the future rather than to the past, and these you forget almost instantly, as a rule. This does not mean that some individuals do not recall them.
