Just think how chaotic the dream is! I do not undervalue the wonderfully varied multiplicity and the grandeur of the dream; but we must nevertheless recognize that the dream, compared with the earth life, in whose images it is clothed, is *chaotic*. You need only to recall that dream which I have mentioned before as an illustration (Volkelt told this dream, according to a report from Württemberg, but we know of such, do we not?). A city lady visited her sister, who was the wife of a country parson, and she dreamed that she went with her sister to church to hear a sermon; but everything was quite peculiar; for, after the Gospel was read and the pastor went up to the pulpit, he did not begin to preach, but instead of raising his arms, he lifted wings, and finally began to .crow like a cock! Or recall another dream in which a lady said she had just dreamed of considering what good thing she should cook for her husband, and nothing at all occurred to her until finally the thought came to her that she still had an old pickled grandmother upstairs in the attic, but she would be very tough yet.—You see a dream can be as chaotic as that—strangely chaotic. But just what does it mean that the dream acts so chaotically? What does it really mean?","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Pneumatosophy: The Riddles of the Inner Man","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-05-23","location":null,"word_count":269,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/224/1923-05-23/p024","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length+anchor_constrained","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Frances E.

Ich verkenne nicht die wunderbar bunte Mannigfaltigkeit und das Großartige des Traumes, aber wir müssen uns doch darüber klar sein, daß der Traum gegenüber dem Erdenleben, in dessen Bilder er sich kleidet, chaotisch ist. Sie brauchen sich ja nur an jenen Traum zu erinnern, den ich früher einmal zur Illustration angeführt habe — Vo/kelt erzählt diesen Traum nach einer württembergischen Erzählung, aber solche \"Träume kennen wir ja -, wo eine Stadtfrau ihre Schwester, die die Frau eines Pfarrers ist, auf dem Lande besucht. Sie träumt, daß sie mit ihrer Schwester zusammen in die Kirche zur Predigt geht. Aber es ist ihr da ganz sonderbar, denn, nachdem das Evangelium gelesen ist und der Pastor auf die Kanzel steigt, da fängt er nicht an zu predigen, sondern da hebt er statt der Arme die Flügel und fängt schließlich an zu krähen wie ein Hahn! — Oder denken Sie an einen andern Traum, wo eine Frau sagt, sie habe eben geträumt, wie sie darüber nachgedacht habe, was sie Gutes ihrem Manne kochen solle, und da sei ihr gar nichts anderes eingefallen, bis ihr zuletzt der Gedanke gekommen sei, daß sie noch eine alte gesalzene Großmutter oben auf dem Boden habe, aber die sei noch sehr zähe. — So chaotisch kann der Traum wirken, merkwürdig chaotisch.
