“Consciousness may be seen as an explicate form sustained by continually converging and diverging waves unfolding from an unconscious field of psychic potential. This is a holographic projector of endogenous sensory imagery. The recurrent and stable pattern that unfolds during waking hours must be renewed during sleep by the enfoldment of waking experience into the seamless subtext of the unconscious.”

“Cognitive science implies that dreaming is “the occurrence of inconsequential phasic events of REM sleep”. But dreams are consequential. They change us at the most fundamental psychophysical level. The evanescent, prophetic and diagnostic nature of dreams has been heralded since the dawn of history. Pre-sleep emotional states are a by-product of, and tightly linked to, mental activities normally occuring during REM sleep. The consolidating and reinforcing, or restructuring of neural circuits storing memories is not limited nor restricted to the activities of REM sleep…Thus, consciousness journeys using dream material or symptomology can refresh or reactivate circuits and open them for self-organizing creative repatterning and restructuring. It’s a chance at a psychological “do over.” The old self dies; the new self is reborn. After such a process, the psychophysical self is no longer the same. The issues addressed are no longer suppressed but allowed to ‘matter.'”
