The book may well be the most extraordinary of the Seth books. It not only contains Seth's teachings on dreams, inspiration, trance states and creativity, the nature of the human ego and personal ego reality, but also the tender personal moments marking the maturing of the Seth/Jane Roberts partnership.

A provocative guide to the realm of dream consciousness, this fascinating book offers unique explanations that will enhance every reader's understanding of the unlimited potential of the human consciousness.

Seth, described as "an energy personality essence no longer focused in physical reality", introduces Jane Roberts to the meaning and power inherent in her own dreams, and through this she learns of the natural flow of clairvoyant energy which occurs during the dream state. The teachings given to Jane on the nature of her own dream state and the dream state in general lead her into the realm of altered states and into the exploration of the out-of-body experience and precognitive dreams.

Written in 1966, but not published until 1986, this book fills the gaps between events described in How to Develop Your ESP Power and The Seth Material. Contains the only published version of Jane's "The Universe as Idea Construction", which sparked beginning work on the Seth material. Includes practical ideas for recalling dreams, OOBEs, the inner senses, and consciousness.
