There are seasonal variations, temperature variations, electromagnetic and chemical reactions that all influence the production and efficiency of dream images, and that also influence the effect of dream images upon the individual. [...]

[...] Probably we would have preferred that our friends, two young men and two young ladies, do more background reading before meeting Seth; on the other hand, with the coming publication of Jane’s book we have been somewhat curious as to the reaction of interested friends to Seth. [...]

[...] In a few moments she said the mere touch caused her reaction. [...]

[...] While it is easy then to understand the nature of exterior actions of repetitive quality, it is far more difficult to see many physical symptoms in the same light — but here also whole groups of recurring reactions to certain stimuli are involved. [...]

[...] The very soreness is a sign of the muscle’s reaction—its life.

[...] When we’d described those to Dr. K. at the house her reaction had been “Do you mean cramps?” —meaning that she saw nothing positive or healing in all of that muscular activity, only something meaning more trouble. [...]

[...] He is also still worried about you; should he suddenly decide he felt like going on a shopping expedition in the middle of the afternoon, what would your reaction be? [...]
