They are acquired by not being completely inside the physical body. When we are completely inside the physical body, we do not dream. Then we experience through the senses on the physical plane and through the mind bound to the senses. When we dream, we must at least be partially outside the physical body. What does the physical body do when it works through the power of memory? Yes, as difficult as it is for a person to think at first, it is nevertheless true: every time a person has an experience and stores this experience in their memory through a thought, an imprint, a kind of cliché of the experience, is formed in our etheric body. But – and I have already discussed this – it is not the case that this imprint would photographically depict the experience. Just as the letter of a writing has nothing to do with the sound, what exists in our body as an imprint has just as little to do with the experience itself. The imprint is only a sign. And this sign is strangely similar to the human form itself. And if you take the upper parts of the human form, the head and at most a little of the upper body and the hands, you have what can be observed in the etheric body every time a person forms a memory of an experience.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Third Lecture","site_heading":"Spiritual Knowledge and the Renewal of Inner Experience","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Wenn wir ganz drinnen sind im physischen Leib, träumen wir nicht. Da erleben wir durch die Sinne auf dem physischen Plan und durch den an die Sinne gebundenen Verstand. Wenn wir träumen, müssen wir wenigstens teilweise außerhalb des physischen Leibes sein. Was macht der physische Leib, wenn er durch die Erinnerungskraft arbeitet? Ja, so schwierig es zunächst zu denken ist für den Menschen, so ist es doch wahr: jedesmal, wenn der Mensch ein Erlebnis hat und dieses Erlebnis durch einen Gedanken in der Erinnerung aufbewahrt, dann wird in unserem Ätherleib ein Abdruck, gleichsam eine Art Klischee des Erlebnisses gebildet. Aber - ich habe das schon auseinandergesetzt - nicht so, daß dieser Abdruck etwa das Erlebnis photographisch abbilden würde. Ebensowenig wie der Buchstabe einer Schrift mit dem Laute zu tun hat, ebensowenig hat, was in unserem Leib als Abdruck existiert, ebensowenig hat diese Abbildung mit dem Erlebnis selbst zu tun. Er, der Abdruck, ist nur ein Zeichen. Und dieses Zeichen ist merkwürdigerweise ähnlich der menschlichen Gestalt selber.
