...work may be done in consciousness while the so-called conscious mind rests, the adept may call upon those which guide it, those presences which surround it, and, most of all, the magical personality which is the higher self in space/time analog as it moves into the sleeping mode of consciousness. with these affirmations attended to, the activity of dreaming reaches that potential of learn/teaching which is most helpful to increasing the distortions of the adept towards its chosen polarity. there are other possibilities of the dreaming not so closely aligned with the increase in polarity which we do not cover at this particular space/time. questioner: how is the dream designed or programmed? is it done by the higher self, or who is responsible for this? ra: i am ra. in all cases the mind/body/spirit complex makes what use it can of the faculty of the dreaming. it, itself, is responsible for this activity. questioner: then you are saying that the subconscious is responsible for what i will call the design or scriptwriter for the dream. is this correct? ra: i am ra. this is correct. questioner: is the memory that the individual has upon waking from the dream usually reasonably accurate? is the dream easily remembered? ra: i am ra. you must realize that we are over-generalizing in order to answer your queries as there are several sorts of dreams. however, in general, it may be noted that it is only for a trained and disciplined observer to have reasonably good recall of the dreaming. this faculty may be learned by virtue of a discipline of the recording immediately upon awakening of each and every detail which can be recalled. this training sharpens one’s ability to recall the dream. the most common perception of a mind/body/spirit complex of dreams is muddied, muddled, and quickly lost. questioner: in remembering dreams, then, you are saying that the individual can find specific clues to current energy center blockages and may, thereby, reduce or eliminate those blockages. is this correct? ra: i am ra. this is so.
