Transcript of this section of Maneck's lecture:
You can write books and volumes on this subject of dreams, but it is not necessary. What I want to tell you about dreams is just this. It is the blessing of God and an instrument, divine instrument God has entrusted in our care, by which we can tap and be in his presence, and get all the knowledge we are seeking or wanting, and solution of the problems that we want to find out, and the new hope about our life that we want to build.
In other words, it is a God’s assurance to us that you are not sent out into this world to be all alone and fight out your battles, “I am dispensing you from the universe, now you do the rest.” No, God says that you are into this world, but anytime you want to come and meet me, every night when your conscious mind is asleep and relaxed and unbothered and unburdened by the worldly problems, I am wide open through my gates to be reached by you.
And therefore, unburden your mind, unburden your conscious mind. Ease up at night. Your problems and worries and anxieties and all the pressures of the mind, entanglement and intanglement, leave them outside of your door. Front porch, back porch, but don’t take it to your bed with you.
And so when your mind is at ease and relaxed, in tranquility, in steadiness to God, in anticipation of meeting God, you have got a direct approach. Your subconscious mind is trying to enter the gates of God’s ivory gates.
A child is happy to see the father coming to him with candy and gifts. God’s storehouse has everything – it’s open to you, and every night you can reach into that storehouse. You can request of him and demand of him and command of him job or position, solutions of your problems, easy way out of certain pressures, asking the fulfillment of your needs, above everything else, the divine knowledge – knowledge, wisdom, any kind of knowledge that you are seeking. Ask God to throw open the gates.
