SUBLIMINAL
If the subliminal thus comes to the front in our dream-consciousness, there is sometimes an activity
of our subliminal intelligence,
- dream becomes a series of thoughts, often strangely or vividly figured, problems are solved which our waking
consciousness could not solve, warnings, premonitions, indications of the future, veridical dreams replace the
normal subconscious incoherence. There can come also a structure of symbol-images, some of a mental character,
some of a vital nature: the former are precise in their figures, clear in their significance; the latter are often
complex and baffling to our waking consciousness, but, if we can seize the clue, they reveal their own sense and
peculiar system of coherence. Finally, there can come to us the records of happenings seen or experienced by us
on other planes of our own being or of universal being into which we enter: these have sometimes, like the symbolic
dreams, a strong bearing on our own inner and outer life or the life of others, reveal elements of our or their
mental being and life-being or disclose influences on them of which our waking self is totally ignorant; but sometimes
they have no such bearing and are purely records of other organised systems of consciousness independent of our
physical existence.
