It is very well with you, Sharon Peter. So for clarity, what I said was that your dream consciousness is an extension of your waking consciousness. Well, this is something that I'll explain when we delve into that portion of the class, but let me start by saying this: physically, even your physical consciousness, you like oranges, tangerines, apples, and those are, that's your go-to fruit. You find out that in the dream, you also do the same thing because the dream is not a different person. It's you, right?

Sometimes it may be you that you are fully aware of. Sometimes it may be you that you're unconscious of, but the person that is having all those experiences in the realm of the dream is still the same you.

Now, that being said, when we talk about the realm of dreams, this is like a whole course on its own and I'm just seeing how to summarize things in a few words that you can fully comprehend. Let's just say that the realm of dreams is a very broad subject, okay? The things you see in the dream can be symbolic, alright? That is, you see things that represent something else.

A very simple example: you have a dream where your roof is leaking water, and it might be that you don't have proper spiritual coverage; maybe you're not praying enough, and the dream is showing you that the house you're living in, which is your life, is without a roof.

In the dream, you had a roof leaking—a big hole in your roof. In the dream, it looks like you have a leaking hole in your roof, but symbolically speaking, it doesn't talk about a leaking hole in your roof, because in your house, there's no leaking hole. But in the dream, you saw a leaking hole, and that can be pointing to a lack of covering because the roof is what provides you protection and covering from the external elements, right?

So a dream can be symbolic; a dream can also be literal, right? Where you have a dream, and you see a leaking hole in your roof, and you wake up, really and truly, there's a hole in your roof. You have a dream that someone is coming to steal your money tomorrow; literally, tomorrow, someone comes to steal your money, so it's not one-cut cloth fits all; it's not linear.

The concept of the realm of dreams is very multidimensional, right? Some things are symbolic, some things are literal things of the physical world, and some things are literal things of your inner life.

So for example, physically, you're not fighting anybody, alright? But in your mind, in your mental space, you're having a lot of conflicts, maybe conflicting beliefs, conflicting desires; maybe you're torn between moving to Australia or South Africa, and in the physical world, whenever you think about it, there's like a battle in your mind. Your dream can represent that, okay? And you can have a dream where Australia and South Africa are fighting, and for some reason, South Africa beats up Australia, and you can say, "Oh wow, it means that, you know, South Africa is where I'm supposed to go." I'm just giving a very random example, but that's how crazy the world of dreams can get.

So if you have a dream that someone has an accident, again, it could be literal; in the physical world, it could be symbolic; or it could also be a symbolic representation of a reality of your inner life or some spiritual reality of your present moment, so it's not one thing, alright?

As I said, dreams is a whole course. I've taught it in the past. I'm going to touch on it here and there during this meditation course and whatnot, but not to worry; on class this Sunday, God willing, I will touch a little bit on dreams, especially the few things that I shared in the course manual, so not to worry, it is well with you.

So the two ideologies don't contradict one another; they are both true in a sense, right? A dream can have nothing to do with you; at the same time, a dream can have everything to do with you, but nevertheless, you, who is in the dream, seeing things, experiencing things, are not different from you when you're physically awake, alright? Because you are not your body, you are a consciousness; you are a soul inside of a body, alright? When you sleep, that soul, that consciousness, loses awareness of the physical world and gains awareness of the world of spirit, alright? But not to worry; we'll talk further on these things as the days come.

God bless you.
