Mixed Projection/Dream Memories Understanding and taking into account the mind-split takes us a long way toward explaining a great many projection and dream memory problems. Logically, of two or more memory sets for a single time period, the strongest parts will form the dominant memory set. These will form the final wrinkle in the physical brain, so to speak, replacing weaker ones. If there are strong elements in each memory set, only fragments of the strongest parts may be retained. Counting the basic reflected copies created by the mind-split effect: (1) dream mind, (2) etheric mind, (3) real-time mind, and (4) astral mind, we have the potential for three distinct mind-splits to occur between these copies: one internal and two external. This list does not include anything above the astral body. Please note that the awake physical body/mind becomes the etheric body/mind before any mindsplits occur. So the physical body/mind is not counted as a separate entity in the list below. This is because when the physical body/mind is in the awake state, all reflected copies are fully integrated and contained within it — i.e., they don't exist in this state. [Time lines (memory streams) are shown below as ——>———>] ————————————>——————————————> 1. Dream mind (reflected copy). First unbroken memory stream recording.

Real-time mind (reflected copy). Third unbroken memory stream recording. Mind-Split #3 — External Split ————————————>——————————————> 4. Astral mind (reflected copy). Fourth unbroken memory stream recording. The above shows four completely separate memory streams being simultaneously recorded for a single time period during an OBE. These are recorded by four identical copies of the same mind, each existing independently on a different dimensional level. The bottom line here is that the physical brain's final memory for any single time span during an OBE (that final wrinkle) can come from more than one source. Any or all of these four reflected aspects of the same mind can contribute to this final memory. An important point to keep in mind is that the etheric body/mind is so closely enmeshed with the physical brain that it has much less trouble storing its memories therein. This, in itself, can cause shadow memory recall problems. During the trance state, for example, the center of thinking consciousness shifts into the etheric body, thus allowing the physical body to fall sleep. However, if the etheric mind stays awake in the trance state, it is capable of recording a single unbroken memory stream directly into the physical brain's storage mechanism. Etheric body/mind memories recorded during the trance state continue in a single unbroken memory stream. These memories are recorded directly into the physical brain, which, therefore, may not allow the projected double to interfere with previously recorded memories. This would involve overwriting previously recorded and stored memories (real memories) with another memory set for that same time period. This may be unacceptable to the physical brain's memory storage mechanism. 27
