“The conscious mind, however, can
only hold so much. Life as you know it could
not exist if everything was conscious
in those terms. The sweet parcel of
physical existence, I have told you, exists as much by merit of what it does not include as it does by merit of
your experience. In important ways your
dreams make your life possible by ordering your psychological life
automatically, as your physical body is ordered automatically for you. You can make great strides by understanding
and recalling dreams, and by consciously participating in them to a far greater
degree. But you cannot become completely
aware of your dreams in their entirety, and maintain your normal physical
stance.”
(The
Nature of the Psyche,
Session 796)
