There is no substitute for the training that you receive as you learn the knack of remembering your dreams. The very training helps you manipulate more effectively in both ordinary waking and dream conditions.

In all probability you will become aware of me first either in a dream projection or in a session. The book you are reading will help you both. It can hardly cover very many points, but it is generally legitimate as far as it goes.

If you call on me to help you in a dream projection, I will help you, though you may or may not remember the dream projection or my help. Joseph will find himself more likely to remember simple projections that do not involve any featured levitation. These will be the easiest for you, Joseph, to recall.

You should try willing yourself into another room. When you awaken in the middle of the night, try such an experiment. Your projections do involve you in extensive levitations from the dream state, but you recall only a few. The most extensive traveling is done in nightly excursions, but it is easiest to remember those dream projections that occur during naps in the day, simply because the waking consciousness is more alert.

(This refers to an experience on falling to sleep during which I saw a woman clearly. She stood in a room with bare wooden floor and, I believe, talked on a telephone [Rob’s dream of March 13, 1967].)

Some of the people in your dreams will be actual people you know who are also projecting. Others will be survival personalities. In some cases according to your own level of projection, some will be going about their normal lives within other planes or systems. They may or may not perceive you.

When dream elements combine to cloud a projection, this is the work of a certain level of consciousness, trying to interpret the strange conditions. This usually occurs at certain levels where consciousness is not yet completely free of the physical body. Some of the dream elements will be thought-forms.
