41.8 The memories of unconscious disembodies during the sleep lies in our subconscious mind

Not all dreams are fantasies; they may be a sign that the soul has truly been in the realms. When a person thinks of a lost loved one in the morning, it eases his grief and may also indicate a spiritual experience. What the soul experiences in the afterlife, it carries with it when it returns to earth, often without being aware of it. People find it hard to imagine having had such experiences in sleep. It also often seems too good to be true. By concentrating on thoughts that occupy your mind in the morning, you can sometimes suddenly remember such an encounter. This is because the information about such a visit to the realms is stored in your subconscious. Ultimately, these memories can alleviate sadness and bring a sense of happiness.

-Yet not all dreams are phantasies, as you have noticed.
When someone is aware of this, and on awakening his mind is filled with thoughts of those he lost, then the deep sorrow will ease off considerably, and he can be sure that he was in the spheres during the night. The pain in his soul will then turn into a quiet longing.
After his return to earth he will always carry within what his spirit consciously experienced in the hereafter, and so the supernal happi- ness which he was granted can release him from much suffering, even if he is generally unaware of this. That is why he will not easily accept this holy truth. The material human being can’t easily picture himself in spiritual situations. Do you feel what I mean, André?
If he focussed his thoughts on the things which occupy his mind in the morning, and let them ascend from out of his subconscious, then he will remember a lot and become aware of the subconscious. It will make him more sensitive and his life will differ from that of the coarse material human being. He will make spiritual progress.

-Who would believe him? Nobody, for this was altogether too mighty, too incredible for people on earth. Yet, he expe- rienced all this, he had departed from the body and left his material organism. He saw more beings from the earth over here but they would presently be unaware that they had been here. Yet, in their sleep, as they would say, they had heard beautiful music and, however strange it was, spoken to their father and mother who had passed away a long time ago. This was nevertheless reality and one day they’ll see it. When they enter here to stay forever, they’ll see that they have been here before more than once. He clearly recognized those who still lived on earth. Great was their happiness. Look how they radiated! Man wasn’t aware of that either when he woke up in the morning.
No, life on earth suppressed everything; everything dissolved therein and obscured that picture. It was splendid to see them this way. Fathers and mothers were together; a mother visited her child. This, too, was a mercy, a very great mercy. They could cope with life again and that deep grief had mitigated in the morning.
