How To Find Your Dream Career

A FEW QUESTIONS AND SUBJECTIVE ANSWERS REGARDING

DREAMS.

QUESTION. What is a dream? ANSWER A dream is an event

transpiring in that world belonging to the mind when the objective

senses have withdrawn into rest or oblivion. Then the spiritual man is

living alone in the future or ahead of objective life and consequently

lives man's future first, developing conditions in a way that enables

waking man to shape his actions by warnings, so as to make life a

perfect existence.

Q. What relationship is sustained between the average man and his

dreams?

A. A dream to the average or sensual person, bears the same

relation to his objective life that it maintained in the case of the ideal

dreamer, but it means pleasures, sufferings and advancements on a

lower or material plane.

Q. Then why is man not always able to correctly interpret his dreams?

A. Just as words fail sometimes to express ideas, so dreams fail

sometimes in their mind pictures to portray coming events.

Q. If they relate to the future, why is it we so often dream of the

past?

A. When a person dreams of past events, those events are warnings

of evil or good sometimes they are stamped so indelibly upon the

subjective mind that the least tendency of the waking mind to the past

throws these pictures in relief on the dream consciousness.

Q. Why is it that present environments often influence our dreams?

A. Because the future of man is usually affected by the present, so if

he mars the present by wilful wrongs, or makes it bright by right living

it will necessarily have influence on his dreams, as they are

forecastings of the future.

Q. What is an apparition?

A. It is the subjective mind stored with the wisdom gained from

futurity, and in its strenuous efforts to warn its present habitation the

corporal body of dangers just ahead, takes on the shape of a dear one

as the most effective method of imparting this knowledge.

Q. How does subjectivity deal with time?

A. There is no past and future to subjectivity. It is all one living

present.

Q. If that is so, why can't you tell us accurately of our future as you

do of our past?

A. Because events are like a procession they pass a few at a time and

cast a shadow on subjective minds, and those which have passed

before the waking mind are felt by other minds also and necessarily

make a more lasting impression on the subjective mind.

Q. To illustrate: A person on retiring or closing his eyes had a face

appear to him, the forehead well formed but the lower parts distorted.

Explain this phenomenon?

A. A changed state from perfect sleep or waking possessed him. Now,

the man's face was only the expression of his real thoughts and the

state of his business combined. His thoughts were strong and healthy,

but his business fagging, hence his own spirit is not a perfect likeness

of his own soul, as it takes every atom of earthly composition perfectly

normal to reproduce a perfect spirit picture of the soul or mortal man.

He would have seen a true likeness of himself had conditions been

favorable thus a man knows when a complete whole is his portion.

Study to make surroundings always harmonious. Life is only being

perfectly carried on when these conditions are in unison.
