“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In dreams you can recognize yourself even though the usual space and time references may be quite different than the ones with which you are familiar in the waking state.

You might find yourself in a completely different body, or in a different time, or of course in a different perspective of relationships—but you are your own reference point. That sense of identity follows you in any and all realities. All particles will try to combine with each other in as many different probable ways as possible. You can call that a scientific law if you prefer.

I referred to that, I thought, in my preliminary statement about time references—that you recognize yourself in a dream even if the other references do not agree with known reality. There is no contradiction in a dream if you and your father are approximately the same age, for example. From my understanding of it, there was no other significance to the age orientation, except that the two of you were adults, and thus would have had a long shared background behind you.
