We call them dreams, that magic theater in which we find ourselves every night amidst strange and marvelous landscapes. A mysterious world where time hangs on a tree limb and the Creative Mind is the Queen. Images inspired by dreams have been a form of communication since the beginning of time....

........Dreams come in the language of images, and it is of great importance to pay attention to the art of our mind. Art inspired by dreams can reveal personal myth and also the transpersonal aspects of the psyche. Dream inspired art often begins with a dream, however in the act of creation one enters into the Creative Mind where both worlds of dreaming and waking meet. In this lucid state of being, creation becomes a message from the deep source of knowledge where the heart of the artist meets the vision of the dreamer....

"You have occasionally learned to take [your] waking consciousness into the dream state, here Fox [Oliver Fox, Astral projection] is correct, for you must start at this point.
" ....You begin to manipulate the dream state; or rather you begin to manipulate your Self within dream reality, which is something different. It is an entirely new environment. In ordinary dreaming, without the awareness of usual waking consciousness, perception of dream reality is limited and instinctive. All in all you get along quite well .You are like a child in objective reality...."

...When you learn to take waking consciousness into the dream condition, you are reaching adolescence so to speak.
When you reach adulthood following our analogy, then you will learn to be successful in manipulating dream reality as you now manipulate objective reality.
For if you create your dreams you also create your objective environment. The dream reality is as real and actual as physical reality, but it can be changed by you, as physical reality can be changed.
It is training for 5th dimensional existence and you will be working with an odd kind of time, to you .You will be forming new gestalts of experience, using past, present and future as a painter chooses her colours combining them into various paintings.

You are at the early stages of this development, but it will come. These realities within the dream universe may be created by you, but they are as actual as the piece of cake that you eat.... As your common sense protects you in the physical universe so you MUST use discretion as you progress into the manipulation of dream objects.

"When you are only operating within physical reality you have a fairly simple set of rules to serve you. With dream reality you are much freer .The ego is not present. The waking consciousness, dear friends is NOT the ego. The ego is merely a small portion of waking consciousness. The ego is the portion of waking consciousness that deals with physical manipulation.
"Waking consciousness is taken into the dream state, but the ego is not. The ego would immediately falter and cause immediate failure and catastophe. What you will meet in your experiments are varieties of conditions and until you have learnt the control it may be difficult to distinguish between them. Some you can manipulate, some you cannot.
"Some dream locations will be of your own construction. Others will be of constructions quite strange to you. They will belong to other dimensions entirely and you may blunder iintothem. You are in a basic manner, you see, outside of your system when you attempt to bring your waking consciousness not the dream state." The Early Sessions, Book 6, page 163-167
P.S. "I wake up in the morning with a dream in my eyes."
