His dreams, hitherto confused and haphazard, now begin to assume a more regular character. Their pictures begin to succeed each other in sensible connection, like the thoughts and ideas of daily life. He can discern in them law, cause, and effect. The content, too, of his dreams is changed. While hitherto he discerned only reminiscences of daily life and transformed impressions of his surroundings or of his physical condition, there now appear before him pictures of a world he has hitherto not known. At first the general character of his dream life remains unchanged, in as far as dreams are distinguished from waking mental activity by the symbolical presentation of what they wish to express. No attentive observer of dream life can fail to detect this characteristic. For instance, a person may dream that he has caught some horrible creature, and he feels an unpleasant sensation in his hand. He wakes to discover that he is tightly grasping a corner of the blanket. The truth is not presented to the mind, except through the medium of a symbolical image. A man may dream that he is flying from some pursuer and is stricken with fear. On waking, he finds that he has been suffering, during sleep, from palpitations of the heart. Disquieting dreams can also be traced to indigestible food. Occurrences in the immediate vicinity may also reflect themselves symbolically in dreams. The striking of a clock may evoke the picture of a troop of soldiers marching by to the beat of drums. A falling chair may be the occasion of a whole dream drama in which the sound of the fall is reproduced as the report of a gun, and so forth. The more regulated dreams of esoteric students whose etheric body has begun its development retain this symbolical method of expression, but they will cease merely to reflect reality connected with the physical body and physical environment. As the dreams due to the latter causes become more connected, they are mingled with similar pictures expressing things and events of another world. These are the first experiences lying beyond the range of waking consciousness.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":387,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/10/l06/p001","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l07","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 10/l07/p001","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/10/l07/p001"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 10/l07/p001"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":472,"en_words":504,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

It is only in so far present for us as, for instance, the world of sense could be for a being equipped with no more than rudimentary eyes. That is why we can see nothing in this world but counterfeits and reflections of daily life. The latter are perceptible to us because our own soul paints its daily experiences in pictorial form into the substance of which that other world consists. It must be clearly understood that in addition to our ordinary conscious work-a-day life we lead a second, unconscious life in that other world. We engrave in it all our thoughts and perceptions. These tracings only become visible when the lotus flowers are developed. Now, in every human being there are slender rudiments of these lotus flowers. We cannot perceive by means of them during waking consciousness because the impressions made on them are very faint. We cannot see the stars during the daytime for a similar reason: their visibility is extinguished by the mighty glare of the sun. Thus, too, the faint spiritual impressions cannot make themselves felt in the face of the powerful impressions received through the senses.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":224,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/10/l06/p003","witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.

Vorher waren die Träume verworren und willkürlich. Nun fangen sie an, einen regelmäßigen Charakter anzunehmen. Ihre Bilder werden sinnvoll zusammenhängend wie die Vorstellungen des Alltagslebens. Man kann in ihnen Gesetz, Ursache und Wirkung erkennen. Und auch der Inhalt der Träume ändert sich. Während man vorher nur Nachklänge des täglichen Lebens, umgeformte Eindrücke der Umgebung oder der eigenen Körperzustände wahrnimmt, treten jetzt Bilder aus einer Welt auf, mit der man vorher unbekannt war. Zunächst bleibt allerdings der *allgemeine Charakter* des Traumlebens bestehen, insofern sich der Traum vom wachen Vorstellen dadurch unterscheidet, daß er *sinnbildlich* dasjenige gibt, was er ausdrücken will. Einem aufmerksamen Beurteiler des Traumlebens kann ja diese Sinnbildlichkeit nicht entgehen. Man träumt zum Beispiel davon, daß man ein häßliches Tier gefangen und ein unangenehmes Gefühl in der Hand hat. Man wacht auf und merkt, daß man einen Zipfel der Bettdecke mit der Hand umschlossen hält. Die Wahrnehmung drückt sich also nicht ungeschminkt aus, sondern durch das gekennzeichnete Sinnbild. –Oder man träumt, daß man vor einem Verfolger flieht; man empfindet dabei Angst. Beim Aufwachen zeigt sich, daß man von Herzklopfen während des Schlafes befallen war. Der Magen, welcher mit schwerverdaulichen Speisen erfüllt ist, verursacht beängstigende Traumbilder. Auch Vorgänge in der Umgebung des schlafenden Menschen spiegeln sich im Traume als Sinnbilder. Das Schlagen einer Uhr kann das Bild eines Soldatentrupps hervorrufen, der bei Trommelschlag vorbeimarschiert. Ein umfallender Stuhl kann die Veranlassung zu einem ganzen Traumdrama sein, in dem der Schlag sich als Schuß widerspiegelt und so weiter. – Diese sinnbildliche Art des Ausdruckes hat nun auch der geregelte Traum des Menschen, dessen Ätherkörper sich zu entwickeln beginnt. Aber er hört auf, bloße Tatsachen der physischen Umgebung oder des eigenen sinnlichen Leibes widerzuspiegeln. So wie diejenigen Träume regelmäßig werden, welche diesen Dingen ihren Ursprung verdanken, so mischen sich auch solche Traumbilder ein, die Ausdruck von Dingen und Verhältnissen einer anderen Welt sind. Hier werden zuerst Erfahrungen gemacht, welche dem gewöhnlichen Tagesbewußtsein unzugänglich sind. – Nun darf man keineswegs glauben, daß irgendein wahrer Mystiker die Dinge, die er in solcher Art traumhaft erlebt, zur Grundlage irgendwelcher maßgebenden Mitteilungen einer höheren Welt schon macht. Nur als die ersten *Anzeichen* einer höheren Entwickelung hat man solche Traumerlebnisse zu betrachten. – Bald tritt auch als weitere Folge die Tatsache ein, daß die Bilder des träumenden Geheimschülers nicht mehr wie früher der Leitung des besonnenen Verstandes entzogen sind, sondern von diesem geregelt und ordnungsgemäß überschaut werden wie die Vorstellungen und Empfindungen des Wachbewußtseins. Es verschwindet eben immer mehr und mehr der Unterschied zwischen dem Traumbewußtsein und diesem Wachzustand. Der Träumende ist im vollen Sinne des Wortes während des Traumlebens wach; das heißt, er fühlt sich als Herr und Führer seiner bildhaften Vorstellungen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":472,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/10/l07/p001"}],"beads":[{"from":[1,2],"to":[1],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
