The Second Plane of the Dreamers

The second plane of the dreamers is a very high state of thought. The dreamers who come to this realm in their sleep are highly advanced souls and their studies are similar to the ones in the advanced classes in the astral. But there are thousands of human beings so physical that they do not attend any school when asleep. They travel about the earth, seeking adventure and pleasure. They are called earth-bound materialists. Sometimes, they go great distances, seeking material thoughts and sensations through different channels. We would be surprised to learn the cunning manner in which they intrude into the material surroundings of others. They are similar to entities who have passed through the stage of so-called death. They disturb many a peaceful dreamer and cause the sense of disturbing nightmare.

Some are anxious to see people they know and will travel thousands of earthly miles through space and seek out their mind's pictures. Some, in love physically, often seek each other during sleep and spend hours together. It is wrong to seek physical companionship while asleep. This is the important time in which the physical may enter the realms of the astral and learn that which will be helpful both in the earthly experiences and when passing over to the astral. There would be very few earth-bounds if there was a desire in every physical brain to advance and attend a class during sleep. Some are given the privilege of travelling about the earth for some particular mission, but not for physical pleasure and sensation. They are chosen for that duty, to learn something, which may prove of aid to them in their advancement. The Law of the Astral does not often pardon the soul, which takes the sleeping period to gain something, which is rankly physical. There comes a time when that individual will fall down to the depths below the Black Circle. We do not realise the necessity of praying for guidance in sleep as well as guidance when awake. Sleep is the shutting away of the material so as to permit the earthly body to relax and the soul to advance into the astral.
