Most people have told themselves five lies before breakfast. Dreams themselves are lies. But they are significant because of the self-light.

Have you ever wondered where the light comes from when you are sleeping, but seeing dream images? You are the source of that light, as well as the source of most of the images. The big lie of a dream is that one presents the image as out there, when it is really all in here.

One is himself the projector and bulb and every image. One plays every part, portrays every action and directs all events. For the most part. There are dream images which come from elsewhere, but they are easily identified, because of their symbology and profoundness.
Every night, when we turn off the electric lights and the light of waking consciousness, another dimmer light–a kind of pilot light–goes on. But this light is more than a stationary light, it is a detachable light, which may be brought to bear wherever we want.

It is our misfortune that we do with this light, what we do with the light of the soul: that is, we scatter it with false projections. But it is most unfortunate that most of us are virtually asleep and dreaming–telling ourselves untruths–all day long.
