And so he says that every dream image has something of a hallucination. But there is a fundamental difference between a dream image and a hallucination: the person, in their waking consciousness, has full control over the dream image, and is always able to integrate it correctly into the ordinary course of their waking daily life. A hallucination, on the other hand, takes away the ability to relate to it objectively. It takes control of the person's consciousness. The same applies to a vision.

Selbst Eduard von Hartmann konnte nicht unterscheiden das Bild, das im Traum vor der Seele auftritt, von dem, was zum Beispiel eine Halluzination ist. Und so sagt er, dass jedes Traumbild etwas von einer Halluzination habe. - Es besteht aber gerade der durchgreifende Unterschied zwischen dem Traumbild und der Halluzination, dass der Mensch mit seinem Wachbewusstsein volle Gewalt über das Traumbild hat, dass er jederzeit in der Lage ist, das Traumbild in der richtigen Weise einzuordnen in den gewöhnlichen Gang des wachen Tageslebens, während die Halluzination entreißt die Möglichkeit, sich objektiv zu ihr zu stellen. Sie nimmt das Bewusstsein des Menschen in ihre Gewalt. Ebenso macht es die Vision.

Es hat selten auf diesem Gebiete etwas ein so umfassendes Aufsehen gemacht als vor ganz kurzer Zeit die Tatsache, dass der ja in der ganzen Welt als allerernst zu nehmender Naturforscher Sir Oliver Lodge ein dickes Buch geschrieben hat über ein Gebiet, welches von der hier vertretenen Geisteswissenschaft durchaus zu den somnambulen Erscheinungen gezählt werden muss, welches er aber genommen hat als einen Weg, in die übersinnliche Welt hineinzukommen.

Er greift zu allem, was nur irgendwie naturwissenschaftliche Vorsicht fordert. Das Eigentümliche war, dass, noch bevor der Sohn Lodge gefallen ist, Sir Oliver Lodge von amerikanischer Seite die Mitteilung erhielt, ein Medium hätte gesagt, dass ein längst verstorbener Freund von Sir Oliver Lodge sich bei einem Ereignis, das über den Sohn des Sir Oliver Lodge hereinbrechen werde, dann seiner annehmen werde. Das ist zunächst eine sehr vage Mitteilung gewesen, denn man konnte sie natürlich in jeder Richtung deuten. Man konnte sich sagen: Der Sohn des Sir Oliver Lodge war in den Krieg gezogen.
