I found that sometimes I'm able to control the dream and sometimes I'm able to direct myself before going to sleep to dream about a certain subject and sometimes not. The important thing was to see your hands in the dream and I made an effort to do this number of times and but only a couple of times did I succeed in actually seeing my hands. To me, one of the most important new facts about dreams is that they are a biologic necessity. Today, they have made experiments of waking people up whenever they start to dream; they can tell by the rapid eye movements, and also by the brainwaves - the brainwaves at dreams are very much like the brainwaves at people when they're awake. And if they keep interfering with the REM sleep, as the dream sleep, very soon the subject will show all the symptoms of sleeplessness, no matter how much a dreamless sleep they're allowed, and eventually will be fatal, as within two weeks or so. So we know now that dreams are a biologic necessity, which means that they must serve a very important function. The next step is to go into space, to leave the planet. But we're not there yet. Here we have an artifact weighing about 170 pounds that cannot exist outside of a very specialized environment - sort of a whole aqualung. And the official space programs, how do they propose to solve this? They are going to move this whole artifact, the human artifact, in its environment, from one place to another. It wouldn't occur to them to start from the other end. You have an object, X (that is the human body), and you want to transport X, say, from earth to space - from E to S - and X is heavy and can only live in a whole medium. So why not alter X to reduce its weight and its dependency on its medium? That would seem to be a logical approach to the problem. And this would not occur to the official programs because they accept the human artifact with all its limitations. In effect they accept the limitations imposed by Christianity; by what Crowley calls the slave gods. The human body is much too dense for space conditions. We have a model to hand, and that is less dense, in fact almost weightless and that would be the astral or dream body. So the function of dreams may be to prepare us for space. And that is why they are a biologic necessity. But we're not there yet.
