Does this make sense? I am attracted to the idea because it fits so well with the notion that the TA sometimes utilizes the sleep state for thought-adjustering. How could this occur if part of my cosmic mind was checked out? Instead, it makes more sense to conjecture that in an ‘adjustered’ dream sequence, my reality response is called to life by the fact that the TA does represent a universe reality.
You may recall the quote that says that the mind is not time-bound (p135:04). The dream state occurs at the subconscious level of the mind where ideas, images, emotions, etc. from everyday life are stored randomly; therefore, they generally appear randomly because they are not connected to time. They are not part of memory because they are unconscious. In order to have a recognizable time sequence, I think they would have to be conscious.
You probably already know this but I’ll include it in case other readers don’t. The subconscious mind is a reservoir for unconscious material accrued during everyday life; it’s a part of normal mental function. Not every piece of data being received by the mind can be processed by the conscious intellect; much is stored for later assimilation and use. It is also a storage place for unexpressed feelings, emotions and desires which occasionally find release in dreams or in moments of disinhibition. These emotions tend to be powerful because they have not been expressed, they’re pent up.
The Adjuster resides in the superconscious, and although he has access and influence over the entire mind, his work is in the higher mind. Anything of potential value swimming around in the mental soup will get captured and tagged. The Adjuster tries to adjust and coordinate those tidbits of experience and information in such a way as to make them accessible to the conscious mind to be used for further growth. You can’t make free-will choices on anything that is not conscious. I’m guessing that occasionally there are adjustable thoughts in the subconscious that have to be pulled from the soup to the higher mind, and perhaps that is why they get so garbled up in the process. I don’t know for sure, it’s just conjecture.
110:5.2 Man’s dream experiences, that disordered and disconnected parade of the un-co-ordinated sleeping mind, present adequate proof of the failure of the Adjusters to harmonize and associate the divergent factors of the mind of man.
110:5.4 While their mortal hosts are asleep, the Adjusters try to register their creations in the higher levels of the material mind, and some of your grotesque dreams indicate their failure to make efficient contact. The absurdities of dream life not only testify to pressure of unexpressed emotions but also bear witness to the horrible distortion of the representations of the spiritual concepts presented by the Adjusters. Your own passions, urges, and other innate tendencies translate themselves into the picture and substitute their unexpressed desires for the divine messages which the indwellers are endeavoring to put into the psychic records during unconscious sleep.
110:5.5 It is extremely dangerous to postulate as to the Adjuster content of the dream life. The Adjusters do work during sleep, but your ordinary dream experiences are purely physiologic and psychologic phenomena.
I don’t think dreaming has anything to do directly with the cosmic mind. It’s my understanding that use of the cosmic mind reality recognition responses require a conscious state. How can you recognize something without being awake and conscious. A dream state may provide a feeling about something that we chose to interpret intuitively, but I think, for the most part, we’re generally wrong about that.
