I am going to suggest that our friend take a walk when we are finished here, a brisk one. The situation is in no way alarming. He has been used to the trance, and of course with what you call the normal waking state, and has not happened to become acquainted with this transition phase.

This involves efficient, complete use of the outer senses in their perception of camouflage reality, and of joyful, effective behavior and manipulation within that field of camouflage in which you spend a certain level of your existence. When you operate within it you should indeed experience it completely, in as many phases as possible, and be it to a much greater degree than is usually achieved, the conscious mind using itself then in experience, and thus knowing itself.

Efficient manipulation within the physical field will soon require that other portions of the self be utilized and recognized. [...]

The north-south position is extremely important in this context, and indeed a necessity for any efficient dream records. The reasoning parts of the brain can work most efficiently along with the intuitive portions of the self when the physical organism is in that position.
