"In ordinary dreaming, without the awareness of usual waking consciousness, perception of dream reality is limited and instinctive. All in all you get along quite well. You are like a child in objective reality. When you learn to take waking awareness into the dream condition, you are reaching adolescence, so to speak. When you reach adulthood, following our analogy, then you will learn to be successful in manipulating dream reality as you now manipulate objective reality."
