Now. Some females will identify in the dream with the bull. In dreams many females will have what you would call male reactions. Some males in dreams will have what you would call female reactions. The bull could come also to represent a person the dreamer considers bullheaded. A bullfighting dream might be formed. The variations are endless. Some generic images will have strong personal significance because of past life experiences. The generic image does not only color the dream state, however. These images are the first basis from which thought evolved. This would almost amount to a cellular thinking process, but it is actually a gestalt of relatedness in which cellular comprehension was, and is, passed throughout the physical organism.

These generic images have been captured and built upon. These images also color physical perception. We are speaking now entirely of your own system. The basic assumptions of which I spoke are thought processes of a subconscious variety, based upon these generic images.

Inhabitants of other systems have their own generic image patterns. Even within your own system these generic images vary. The predominating image for an individual is that of his own species, but the ancestral patterns are strongly supportive. You are not only male or female as you know, but both, with one temporarily predominating. Almost (underlined) without exception, there are male and female lives either in your past or future. Dreams at the deepest level will not respond necessarily then to your present sex identity.

Returning to our last discussion, I want to make it clear that these generic images, activated during certain levels of consciousness, are then interwound into dream drama.

[...] These generic images are composed of highly complicated electromagnetic complexes. [...]

[...] Your whole physical system contains these generic patterns and images. [...]

When these organizations break down or collapse, for any reason, these generic patterns are no longer held in their subordinate position, and become more highly activated. [...]

The generic patterns set up certain organizations among themselves, maintaining direction over some cellular functions, and are closely allied with the movement and purifying agencies of the blood, and also with kidney function. [...]

[...] There is generic imprint stamped within the cells, and at various levels of cell consciousness. [...]

[...] Generic codes apply in other words to the future as well as to the past, but mankind does not generally perceive them as such for they appear meaningless to the ego, because of the ego’s inherent nature and limitations.
