“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The dreamer, whatever his age, job or family background, is considered most suspect, for it seems that he doesn’t even have a craft to excuse his moral laziness. [...] They will have little regard or respect for the dreamers or visionaries of the world, and will be the first to leap upon those in their own generation who display such tendencies.

[...] Usually upon the point of awakening, such dreams suddenly telescope into one that is predominant, with the others taking subordinate positions, though the dreamer is certain that in the moment before the dreams were equal in intensity. [...]

[...] Several lines of dream experience can be encountered at the same time, each complete in itself, but when the dreamer wakes to the fact, the experience cannot be neurologically translated; so one dream usually predominates, with the others more like ghost images.

[...] Let alone whether one dreamer could telepathically pick up the other dreamer’s dream!)

[...] In ages past, the most proficient dreamers picked up ahead of time the news, and passed it on to others. [...]

[...] The dreamer is still very much couched in the physical world, however. [...]

[...] A sequence of dreams, Jane said, would give a much better perspective on the dreamer’s challenges, fear, etc., in life, and yield much better insights. [...]

[...] Another portion might come from a neighbor, of course—but from the dreamer’s interpretation of a neighbor’s remark that further brings him the dream message.

[...] For there are various balances, or rather various delicate imbalances, which must be maintained; and there are differences also in the makeup of dream images, which are usually seen only by the dreamer, and some other more physical materializations which may be created by the semi-waking self, and under certain circumstances seen by others.

[...] An understanding of the methods used by the dreamer to construct dream images will, however, allow you to understand more clearly those other constructions. [...]

[...] I always want to give this particular session a title: “The Breather and the Dreamer,” because as a result of the session, I wrote a poem with that title — one of three poems inspired by Seth’s discussion that night. [...]

The mover, the breather, the dreamer
Shares with me this fond flesh.
He is a twin so like myself
That I cannot recognize his face.
He goes his way and I go mine.
We never meet head-on, and yet
I am aware of this ghost
Behind my every word or act.
Who moves? [...]

4. In Volume 1, see Session 687 at 10:01: Seth discussed how the dreamer and his or her probable selves, having “the same psychic roots,” can share in working out a given challenge in a probable reality.

[...] The dreamer says that physical reality forms you. [...]

Briefly, I explained the way in which a dreamer may be telepathically in communication with another man’s dream. [...] The telepathic communication arises as a result of an attraction, a personal emotional charge on the part of the second dreamer that allows him to open these channels of communication.

[...] The dreamer awakes for breakfast. [...]

[...] In this electrical actuality they then exist independently of the dreamer, although he still applies the dream to himself. [...]

[...] The dreamer dreams, and the dreamer within the dream dreams. [...]

[...] The fluidity or the spacious present pervades the dream state as it pervades a painting, but the images are projected into the spacious present by the dreamer, according to his own understanding and experience.

[...] The natural person is of course the natural dreamer, and it is for that reason all the more unfortunate that psychology managed to divorce the world of dreaming from natural healthy psychology. [...]

(With many pauses to start:) Dictation: During this period that we have labeled as belonging to the dreamers, certain subjective actions took place as the “structure” of earthly tuned consciousness formed the phenomena of “the self.”

[...] Another portion might come from a neighbor — but from the dreamer’s interpretation of the neighbor’s remarks, that further brings home the dream message. [...]

[...] Speaking as simply as I can, and using concepts that you can understand, let me put it this way: From the other side — within what is loosely called the dream state — there is an existence quite as valid as your own, and from that viewpoint you can be considered as the dreamer. [...]

If we ever hope to “map” the dreamscape, we need a million trained dreamers: a million individuals trained to use dreams as vehicles and then, courageously, to leave them to explore the environment in which they find themselves. [...]

[...] Seth maintains that we will understand ourselves as dreamers only if we are also aware of the larger environment in which dreams take place, that we interact in the dream state as we do in the waking one and that we form mass dream events as we form physical events on a mass basis.

[...] Men dreamed their own maps in the same fashion, one man dreaming perhaps a certain portion, and several dreamers contributing their versions, drawing in sand in the waking state, or upon cave walls. [...]
