“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In a sort of backhanded compliment, Seth asked Rob to tell me that my abilities were improving—it was a well-made thought-form. Now, I don’t propose for a moment that any of my readers attempt such a foolhardy venture. But I do suggest that perhaps some of them have already done so without knowing it, waking only with the memory of a particularly bad nightmare.

This episode was an out-of-body experience from the dream state, though, and it will serve to make one point: dream reality is as valid and real as waking reality. Dreams definitely affect daily life. They can improve our health or help deepen a mood of depression. There are ways to use dreams purposefully, however, to improve our existence, even though I admit that the last instance was not a very good example.

It has been known throughout the ages that dreams can give us clues to all kinds of behavior. Psychoanalysts use dreams to delve into subconscious motivations, but few people know how to utilize dreams creatively: to improve health, gain inspiration, restore vitality, solve problems, and enrich family relationships.
