[...] Seth has also used the phrase in connection with a next work.⁴ Now it appears that he’s settled upon a formal title for his book — one that Jane has received from him several times lately: Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment.)

[...] As an example, you may believe that you want to understand the nature of your inner self — you may tell yourself you want to remember your dreams, but at the same time still hold a belief in the basic unworthiness of the self, and be quite frightened of remembering your dreams because of what you might find there.

[...] If certain other beneficial alterations occur, and further understanding on Ruburt’s part, we may be able to meet at other levels of consciousness — in the dream state, when he is not cooperating in the production of our book material.” For Jane has never met Seth, face to face, you might say, in a dream. The closest she’s come to this situation is in giving a session for him in the dream state, as she does in waking life.

“Individual life, or the life of the present individual, could be legitimately compared to the dream of an entity. [...] The entity is concerned with such years in the same manner that you are concerned with your own dreams … And as your dreams originate with you, arise from you, attain a seeming independence and have their ending with you, so an entity’s personalities arise from it, attain various degrees of independence, and return to it while never leaving it for an instant.

In the terms of my book (“Unknown” Reality), I was a dream-art scientist,³⁷ but I was very dogmatic, and I demanded that others follow my symbols and not their own. [...]

Dreams have always served as such a connective. [...]

The study of dreams has been held back immeasurably because past-life memories have been stubbornly ignored. [...]

[...] Last Thursday, March 20, Jane had written Ace demanding the return of her dream book manuscript because of the delay in hearing from Ace—but once—since last December.)

[...] She resented the authoritative tone of the dream book as she first saw it, thinking again: “Now my God, this Jane Roberts imagines herself an authority.” [...]
