Develop Your Power To Dream.
Keep your mind clear and as free from material disturbance as is
possible and go to sleep in a negative condition (this will, of course, have to
be cultivated by the subject). A person can, if he desires, completely relax his mind
and body to the receptive mood required for a dream to appear as a reality, or a true
explanation of a future event. To dream you are talking to a deceased relative,
and that relative endeavors to extract a promise from you, warns you of coming distress
unless you follow the advice given. Disastrous consequences could be averted if
minds could grasp the inner workings and sight of the higher or spiritual self.
The voice of relatives is only that higher self taking form to approach more distinctly
the mind that lives near the material plane. There is so little congeniality between
common or material natures that persons should depend more largely upon their own
subjectivity for true contentment and pleasure.
Dreams Exaggerated
The will is suspended during sleep, so the dream mind is more a
prey to excitability than the waking mind. Thus when images appear the dream
interpretations are frequently distorted into hideous malformations that fill the
mind with fear and excitement.
Contrary Dreams
The constant dwelling of the mind upon certain things distorts their
shapes upon subjectivity, thus throwing dreams in exactly opposite channels to the
waking reality. Yet the dreamer always feels a sense of being awake in dreams like
these, and on awakening experiences no recuperation of mind or body after such contrary
dreams, Sleep is not fully sustained while the dreamer is held by material ideas
in the subjective state.
