Unpacking the Big Dream Ideal
Big dreams can push us to grow and achieve more.
Fear often plays a key role in how we approach our dreams and goals.
Defining ‘Big Enough’ Dreams
A ‘big enough’ dream goes beyond your comfort zone.
It’s a goal that makes you stretch and grow.
These dreams aren’t just about material success.
They can be about personal growth, helping others, or changing the world.
Big dreams are different for everyone.
What seems huge to you might be small for someone else.
The key is to aim for something that excites and scares you a bit.

It’s a sign that you’re pushing yourself.
When you feel scared, it often means you’re on the right track.

You might worry about failure or what others will think.
Sometimes, the fear of success can hold you back too.
Don’t let fear stop you.
Use it as fuel.
When you face your fears, you grow stronger.
Each step forward builds your confidence.
Remember, the biggest regrets often come from not trying, not from trying and failing.
Seth’s Concepts of Dreams and Reality Creation
Seth teaches that dreams play a key role in shaping our reality.
He says our inner world connects to the physical one through our dreams and thoughts.
Origins of Seth’s Teachings
Seth’s ideas came through Jane Roberts in the 1960s.
Jane would enter a trance state and channel Seth, who shared wisdom about the nature of reality.
Seth said we create our own experiences through our thoughts and beliefs.
He taught that what we think and feel shapes the world around us.
Seth claimed our inner self uses dreams to communicate important messages.
He said dreams aren’t just random images, but meaningful experiences that can guide us.
In Seth’s view, dreams let us tap into other realities and dimensions beyond our waking world.
The Multidimensional Nature of Dreams
Seth described dreams as gateways to other realms of existence.
He said when you dream, you access different versions of reality.
Your dream self can visit parallel worlds and timelines.
Seth taught that dreams aren’t limited by physical laws.
In dreams, you can fly, transform, or defy logic.
This shows the flexible nature of consciousness.
Seth said dreams reveal the vast potential of your mind to create and explore.
Dreams also let you practice creating reality, according to Seth.
The dream world is like a training ground for manifesting your desires in waking life.
By working with your dreams, you can boost your ability to shape your physical experiences.
Mechanics of Value Fulfillment
Value fulfillment is a key concept in Seth’s teachings.
It involves expressing your inner self and talents in the world. This process helps you grow and contribute to the greater good.
Understanding Value Fulfillment
Value fulfillment means living up to your potential.
It’s about using your unique gifts and abilities.
When you fulfill your values, you feel happy and satisfied.
Your dreams and goals often point to your values.
They show what matters most to you. By working towards these dreams, you start to fulfill your values.
Value fulfillment isn’t just about personal gain.
It also benefits others and the world around you. Your actions can have a positive ripple effect.
Applying Value Fulfillment in Daily Life
You can practice value fulfillment every day.
Start by identifying your core values. What do you care about most? What brings you joy?
Make choices that align with these values.
If you value creativity, find ways to be creative in your work or hobbies.
If you value kindness, look for opportunities to help others.
Set goals that reflect your values.
Break these goals into small, doable steps. Celebrate your progress along the way.
Be open to new experiences.
They can help you discover hidden talents and values.
Don’t be afraid to dream big and take risks.
Psychological Significance of Dream Intensity
Dream intensity plays a key role in personal growth and facing fears.
Vivid dreams can reveal hidden truths about yourself and push you to confront challenging emotions.
Dreams as Personal Growth Indicators
Your dreams often reflect your inner state and growth.
Intense dreams may point to areas where you’re ready to make big changes.
Pay attention to repeating themes or symbols in your dreams. They could highlight issues you need to address in your waking life.
Strong emotions in dreams can signal unresolved feelings.
If you feel scared, angry, or sad in a dream, think about what’s causing those feelings. Your dreams give you a safe space to process difficult emotions.
Keeping a dream journal can help you spot patterns.
Write down your dreams as soon as you wake up. Over time, you may notice links between your dreams and daily life.
Facing the Fear in Dream Exploration
Scary dreams don’t have to be bad. They can push you to face your fears and grow.
When you have a frightening dream, try not to run from it.
Instead, think about what the fear means to you.
Ask yourself what the scary parts of your dream represent.
They might stand for real-life worries or challenges.
By facing these fears in your dreams, you can gain courage to tackle them when awake.
Try to be curious about your dreams, even the scary ones.
They can teach you a lot about yourself.
Remember, dreams are a safe place to explore. Nothing in a dream can physically hurt you.
Navigating Fear and Desire in Large-scale Aspirations
Big dreams often come with big fears. But facing those fears can lead to personal growth and amazing achievements.
Learning to balance ambition and worry is key to reaching your goals.
Balancing Fear and Ambition
Fear can hold you back from chasing your dreams.
It’s normal to feel scared when aiming high.
But don’t let that stop you. Use your fear as a guide. It shows you what matters most.
Try breaking big goals into smaller steps. This makes them feel less scary.
Celebrate each small win along the way. It builds confidence for the next challenge.
Remember why you started. Your passion can help push through doubt.
Surround yourself with supportive people. They can cheer you on when things get tough.
The Process of Expanding One’s Comfort Zone
Growing means stepping outside what feels safe.
Start small. Pick one thing that scares you a little. Then do it. Each time gets easier.
Try new things often. They don’t have to be big. Even small changes help you adapt.
Over time, you’ll feel more comfortable with the unknown.
Set clear goals for growth.
Write them down. Track your progress.
Be kind to yourself if you stumble. Learning takes time.
Find role models who’ve done what you want to do. Learn from their journeys.
Remember, they started where you are now. You can do it too.
Practical Exercises for Dream Expansion
Expanding your dreams takes practice and focus. Try these techniques to help you think bigger and tap into your full potential.
Visualization Techniques
Picture your ideal future in vivid detail. Close your eyes and imagine achieving your biggest goals.
What do you see, hear, and feel? Create a mental movie of your success.
Write down your vision. Describe it in detail as if it’s already happened. Read this description often to reinforce it.
Make a vision board. Cut out images and words from magazines that represent your dreams. Arrange them on a poster board. Look at it daily for inspiration.
Dream Journaling for Clarity
Keep a dream journal by your bed. Write down your nighttime dreams as soon as you wake up. Don’t edit or judge them.
Review your journal entries weekly. Look for recurring themes or symbols. These may point to hidden desires or fears.
Write about your daydreams too. What do you imagine when your mind wanders? These thoughts can reveal your true aspirations.
Ask yourself questions in your journal. What would you do if you couldn’t fail? What did you love doing as a child? Your answers may surprise you.

Seth Sessions On Value Fulfillment
Seth: (Deliberately:) You were born with an in-built recognition of your own goodness. You were born with an inner recognition of your rightness in the universe. You were born with a desire to fulfill your abilities, to move and act in the world. Those assumptions are the basis of what I will call natural law.
You are born loving. You are born compassionate. You are born curious about yourself and your world. Those attributes also belong to natural law. You are born knowing that you possess a unique, intimate sense of being that is itself, and that seeks its own fulfillment, and the fulfillment of others. You are born seeking the actualization of the ideal. You are born seeking to add value to the quality of life, to add characteristics, energies, abilities to life that only you can individually contribute to the world, and to attain a state of being that is uniquely yours, while adding to the value fulfillment of the world.
NoME Part Three: Chapter 9: Session 862, June 25, 1979
Seth: “(Long pause.) The impulse toward life is indeed strong, brilliant and enduring. Each individual knows, however, that more than one lifetime is involved, and carries within it—as indeed the animals do—the knowledge that earth’s existence is in time and space, meaning that a certain turnover is necessarily implied.
Each person experiences time differently. It is not simply that for some time seems to go faster or slower than for others, but that time is USED in different fashions according to the value fulfillment issues with which each individual is concerned and with those of the species as well.
It is not either simply a matter of biological clocks, with some people using their available energies faster. Value fulfillment deals with certain kinds of qualities that must appear in time.
(Long pause.) The purposes and value fulfillment intents of some people are often reached in your terms at a young age. They give to life and receive from life more or less what they intended to, and are quite prepared to die and start anew. In a MANNER OF SPEAKING, now, illnesses also serve as gateways to death in that regard—which may or may not be chosen at any specific time. That is, they are available. No one is forced to ENTER those gateways. Some people *(pause) *know very well that they have decided to die—or do not care (colon): they may “come down” with severe illnesses and then change their minds because for other reasons the very crises revive them.
They may even seek the experience in order to put their own lives in a different, larger perspective, many such people are not fully aware of such decisions, and so many face-saving psychological devices are used by the individual, and certainly by society, to smother the recognition of such unofficial motivation. It may then indeed seem to the individual himself or herself that the health crisis IS being thrust upon them, unwanted, despite their own wishes or intents.
(Long pause at 9:02.) When people finally want to die they will pursue that intent, because each physical death does indeed come—despite your beliefs—as the final FRAMING or finishing touches or culmination of a given existence.
In those terms it is like a creative venture, finished to the best of one’s ability in the given medium, and leaves one with a sense of satisfaction, fulfillment, and completion. (Long pause.) One woman wrote Ruburt about the definite healing of her mother from cancer. There were many details given—but overall the woman felt that she herself had made a bargain with God, offering her own life instead of her mother’s. The mother recovered under the most unexpected circumstances, and a short time later the daughter came down with the same symptoms.
She seemed to acquiesce to them. She did not feel alarmed. Ruburt wrote that one did not have to bargain with God for one’s life—an excellent point. One had only to ACCEPT one’s life—a second excellent point. Still, Ruburt was uneasy that the woman would accept the situation so calmly. Such recognition SEEMED almost unnatural: where was her will to live?
“(Long pause at 9:12.) Many people, wanting to die, do not seek out illnesses, of course. They may die in their sleep of unexplained heart failure or whatever, or in accidents. They may seek death out in dangerous pursuits. In the framework of general beliefs, however, the NATURAL desire for death is not included in the list of human motivations. Often such a desire comes naturally and passes naturally several times in a lifetime. The clear recognition of such a psychological feeling alone helps such individuals understand their own positions and intents, but usually the feeling itself is forced to go underground because people are so afraid of it. Such a feeling, recognized, can also serve—AS it did serve the woman’s mother—as a critical point of recognition that the desire to die was triggered not so much (long pause) by the feeling of life’s completion as by the fact that the individual had set up too many restrictions in life itself—restrictions that were severely cutting back its own possibilities of value fulfillment, or future effective action. In THAT kind of a case, the situation can serve to reverse the conditions. The person recognizes the restrictions and changes his or her ways accordingly, opening the doorway not into death but to further life and action in this space and time.
(Long pause.) Overall, the psychology of death of course then involves the psychology of life, for people are seeking for a value fulfillment that CONNECTS each of their lives—that is, in reincarnational terms.
