The reflections of your ideas and intimate emotions are then projected outward in a rich drama. You can observe the play, take a role in it, or move in and out of its acts as you prefer. You will use your own private symbols. These represent your psychic shorthand. They are connected with your personal creativity, so dream books will not help you in deciphering those meanings if they attach a specific significance to any given symbol. Symbols themselves change. If you had before you your entire dream history and could read — as in a book — the story of all of your dreams from birth, you would discover that you changed the meaning of your symbols as you went along, or as it suited your purposes. The content of a dream itself has much to do with the way you employ any given symbol.

And, obviously, Seth does a much better job of putting them all together than I could.

6. Here Seth refers to Through My Eyes — the book he suggested (in December 1972) that I write on the Seth phenomenon and other subjects. In Volume 1, see item No. 3 at 11:35, in Session 683. Replying to all of those who have asked: So far I haven’t had the time to do more than short essays on art, Seth, the fairly recent deaths of my parents, and a few other topics for Through My Eyes. Certainly I won’t be able to work steadily on the project until Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality is ready for publication.

In a way that will be explained in another book for those interested in such matters, there is a kind of coincidence with all of these present points of power⁸ that exist between you and your “reincarnational” selves. [...]

3. In the opening notes for the 718th session, I wrote that I’d just finished a series of diagrams for Jane’s Adventures. In Diagram 1 for Chapter 10, I tried to show schematically the same idea Seth mentions here, but with the terminology Jane used in her own book. [...]
