Osho continues:
"You may dream that someone is sitting on you, or a stone has fallen on you. These dreams are through the physical body.

"We have seven bodies – the physical, the etheric, the astral, the mental, the spiritual, the cosmic, and the nirvanic – so there is the possibility of seven types of dreams. The second body – the etheric body – dreams in its own way. Those dreams cannot be understood through the physiology – they cannot be understood. And those exact dreams have created much puzzlement in the psychologies of today – in either Freudian analysis, or in Adlerian, or in Jungian. Those etheric dreams have created so many puzzles and problems.

"Freud understands them as suppressed desires. There are dreams which belong to suppressed desires, but they too belong to the first body, the physical. If you have been suppressing physical desires – if you have fasted for instance, then in the dream there is every possibility of some breakfast. If you have suppressed sex, there is every possibility of sexual fantasies. But these two belong to the first body. The second, the etheric body, is left out of these psychological investigations, or it is interpreted as physiological.

"The etheric body can travel in dreams. There is every possibility of it going out of your physical body. But when you remember it, it is remembered as a dream. It is not a dream in the same sense as the physiological body dreams. The etheric body can go out of you when you are asleep. Your physiological body will be here, but your etheric body will go out and travel in space. There is no time and space binding for it; there is no question of distance for it. Those who don't understand it may say that this is the realm of the unconscious, because they divide man's mind into conscious and unconscious. The physiological dreaming becomes conscious; the etheric dreaming becomes unconscious.

"The etheric dreaming is not unconscious. It is as conscious as the physiological dreaming is, but conscious on another level, on another plane. So if you can become conscious of your etheric body, the dreaming concerned with that realm becomes conscious."
