The Secret of Dreams

**The Secret of Dreams** is a book written by Yacki Raizuzan, discussing the significance of dreams and how they interconnect with the physical, mental, and astral aspects of an individual.

## Synopsis

### Chapter 1: Dreams

The book establishes a divide between the body and mind, or spirit, which occupies the astral plane. "Dreams afford a separation of soul or body." There are three ways to separate the inner person from the outer, physical shell, which include natural sleep, induced sleep (i.e. hypnotism, trance, etc...), and death. Man inhabits three worlds: physical, mental, and astral. The physical is a substrate of the mental the same way the mental is a substrate of the astral. It can be imagined like three shells nested within each other, each of higher importance or 'realness' as you enter the center.

There is still however a connection between the physical and the mental and astral, with it being also established there is a connection between the body and the mind, a link that severs only in death. Telepathic communication with the dead may account for some dreams, which others are manifestations of sub-conscious memory. Others are simply a redistribution of events and happenstance that have occurred throughout the prior day.

The benefits of dreams and sleep are espoused as sleeping on a matter literally leads to great progress, with the avoidance of negative thoughts deemed key to progress. "As the earnest soul gradually arouses himself he find his proper place in the universe, for within him are all the attributes of deity; and when he reaches the end of his long evolutionary journey that is ahead of him, he will find himself, and know what he is destined to be - a god."

### Chapter 2: Variety of Dreams

A variety of dreams are classified into four variations: 1.) physical stimulus, 2.) sub-conscious memory, 3.) telepathy, and 4.) astral experience.

Physical stimulus takes the form of any exterior stimuli outside of the dreamer that may affect sleep. For instance, the sound of a car alarm, dog barking, or even the texture of the sheets one is on can contribute to the nature of the dreams dreamed.

Sub-conscious memory is responsible for dreams that redistribute everyday experiences or rehashes ones from the past, which includes past lives and existences. Dreams should be studied for people to shape their lives accordingly.

Telepathic dreams are those formed from the psychic linkage of a 'sender' and 'receiver', who is the dreamer, receiving the thoughts of either alive or dead. People who have close dealings with each other such as close acquaintances or family members are more prone to share thoughts when asleep.

Astral experience is associated with premonitory or symbolic dreams. The first impression or interpretation one gets of a symbolic dream is probably the correct one, although the layman may not understand it fully due to preconceived materialistic notions getting in the way. Most of the chapter is occupied by experiences where dreams were premonitory.

More emphasis is placed on how the dead may communicate with the living through dreams.

### Chapter 3: How to Evolve the Larger Consciousness

"One must be able to concentrate his mind on what he wants to think about" as well as bring the emotions under control to fully let the mind be under the control of the dreamer. It is only when the physical, mental, and astral is brought under subjugation and harmony in respect to the dreamer that one can begin to fully explore with the ego, viewing tentative flashes of visions and sights ere unknown, but slowly morphing into a world of premonitory or psychic significance.

The sleep of nights may be used for helping others by basically traversing dreams, the chapter says. However, it is also possible to selfishly affect others through dreams, though it is warned this is a "black art" and "he who dabbles in occult teachings for selfish ends treads a dangerous ground".

Writing down one's dreams is also espoused, as this promotes the memorization of dreams and such. Fortune-telling dreams are not to be relied upon, but judgement is to be exercised, with only those of a certain level able to reliably depend upon their dreams. Those who ascend to a high enough level may attain a dreamless state where only a senseless ether is perceived, and knowledge remains but one need not rely on perceptual stimuli.
