The Dream State

“In the dreaming state the characteristics of the reasoning mind become altered, and from a waking viewpoint it might seem distorted in its activity.  What actually happens, however, is that in the dreaming state you are presented with certain kinds of immediate knowledge.  It often appears out of context in usual terms.  It is not organized according to the frameworks understood by the reasoning portions of your mind, and so to some extent in dreams you encounter large amounts of information that you cannot categorize.
“The information may not fit into your recognizable time or space slots.  There are, in fact, many important issues connected with the dreaming state that can involve genetic activation of certain kinds: information processing on the part of the species, the insertion or reinsertion of civilizing elements – and all of these are also connected with the reincarnational aspects of dreaming.”
(Dreams, “Evolution” and Value FulfillmentSession 908)
