Dream memories and the brain

"...The dream events are partially brain-recorded, but the brain separates such experience from waking events...Session 794"

"...Under so-called usual circumstances, data is received through the physical senses, and is then interpreted by the brain. When a clairvoyant event is perceived the data is received by the mind and given to the brain, which then interprets it as it does usual data..Session 240."

"...Dreaming does represent an open channel through which the material environment is transcended. There are as yet undiscovered, bizarre changes in the brain during certain dream states, an acceleration that quite literally propels the consciousness out of its usual space-time continuum into those other realities from which it comes...Session 668"

"...Inherently the physical brain is capable of dealings with more than one main line of consciousness. This does not mean the development of dual personality, by the way. It means the further expansion of the concept of identity: You would not only be aware of the you that you have always known, in the same way that you are now, but a deeper sense of identity would also arise. That identity would contain the you that you have always known, and in no way threaten it. The new you would simply be more than all are now. You would just have another expansion of consciousness, another self-who-is-aware-of-being in the same way that - using an analogy, granted - the writer is aware of the self who lives, in those terms; is the self who lives while being in a position of some apartness, able to comment upon the life being lived. Now in a very small way admittedly, that analogy hints at the kind of deeper events that occur as selves are born out of selves to operate in various levels of activity. In the case of entities, each such self dwells entirely in its own dimension or system of reality...Session 692"

"..The brain deals exclusively with camouflage patterns, transforming vitality into physical environmental camouflage patterns. The mind deals with basic principles inherent on all planes. The brain is itself part of the camouflage pattern, and can be interpreted and probed by physical instruments. The mind cannot be probed by physical instruments. It cannot even be found by physical instruments. The mind is the connective. It is here that the secrets of the universe will be discovered, and the mind itself is the tool of discovery...."Session 19
