梦里讯息知多少？

珍在出神状态中谈到了一个人如何利用自己的梦，这资料主要是为了回答我们近来常常猜想的一个问题：如果大多数人在大部分时间都不记得他们的梦，那梦对他们有什么用呢？这个问题的提出其实基于我们的一个信念——我们确信任何事都是有目的、有用的，所以梦必然在人们的生活中承担着重要的角色——但这通常是如何做到的呢？以下引用的是珍在今天的出神状态里所给的答复：

“即使你无法有意识地记住你的梦，你还是受到了启发。梦中讯息的一部分会以某种方式出现在你的日常经验里——在你的谈话或日常事件里。

“因为梦是如此完美地结合了内在环境与外在环境的刺激，所以内在梦的讯息常被别的外在事件所触发，反之亦然。比如，当三个人聚在一起看同一部电视剧时，每个人也许会诠释那节目的不同部分。这样，那个部分就与他自己前一晚的梦联系起来，并以一种他能接受的方式，把梦中的讯息带给他……

“这个过程需要很强的识别能力。举例来说，报上的一条新闻被注意到，而其他的则被忽略，是因为那条新闻的某个部分代表了某些梦中讯息。而那新闻的其他部分也许来自一位邻居——不过是来自这个做梦者对邻居话语的诠释，那更进一步带出了梦中讯息。在这种情况下，这个人几乎觉察不到其中涉及了一个梦……

“你也许会梦到开车去长途旅行，结果发现自己开得太快，一个车胎爆了。你也许从来没记起那个梦。可是，不管怎样，你会碰到某种情形，也许是在一出电视剧里，一个轮胎爆了；或者你会在报上看到一篇那类报道；或者你会听到一个故事，有人直接或间接地讲述了类似的困境。当然，你周围的具体刺激是那么多，以至于在任何一天里，都有可能发生很多类似的情况引起你的注意。即使如此，你也许并没有想起那个梦，但当发生的情况引起你的注意时，你也许会因此去检查轮胎，决定推迟行程，或促使你反躬自省——自己目前是否在某个方向上进行得太快，而于己不利。但你总是会收到那个梦中讯息的。”

Much of Jane's trance material on how individuals use dreams personally came through in answer to a question of mine that we'd often speculated about lately: If most people do not remember their dreams most of the lime, of what use can their dreams be to them? The question was really based upon our belief, indeed our certainty, that everything in nature is intentional and useful; therefore dreams must fulfill important roles in people's lives — but how, in ordinary terms? Here are quotations from the answers Jane gave while in trance today.

"Even if you don't consciously remember your dreams, you do get the message. Part of it will appear in your daily experience in one way or another in your conversation or daily events.

"Because dreams are such a perfect combination of stimuli from the inner environment and the exterior environment, other events are often used to trigger inner dream messages, just as the opposite occurs. And in a gathering of three people watching the same TV drama, say, each of them might be interpreting different portions of the program so that those portions correlate with their individual dreams of the night before, and serve to bring them their dream messages in ways they can accept. . .

"Great discrimination is used to do that; for example, one newspaper item is noticed over others because a certain portion of that item represents some of the dream's message. Another portion might come from a neighbor — but from the dreamer's interpretation of the neighbor's remarks, that further brings home the dream message. In such cases the individual will scarcely be aware that a dream is involved . .

"You might dream of going away on a long trip by car, only to find that a tire blew when you were driving too fast. You may never remember the dream. One way or another, however, you will hit upon some kind of situation a portion of a TV drama, perhaps — in which a tire is blown.Or you will see an item of that nature in the newspaper, or you will hear a story, told directly or indirectly about the same kind of dilemma. The magnitude of the physical stimuli with which you are surrounded makes it possible, of course, for any number of like situations to come to your physical attentionduring any given day. Even then, you might not recall the dream, but the situation itself as it comes to your attention might make you check yourtires, decide to put off your trip, or instead lead you to inner speculations about whether you are going too fast in a certain direction for your own good at this time. But you will get the dream's message."
