Now, anyone who followed my discussions the day before yesterday will not suspect me of wanting to introduce any fantastical, dreamlike things into spiritual scientific considerations; but this must be emphasized: The whole of human life is made up of what human beings experience in their waking daily lives – I cannot go into other beings today due to time constraints – and what enters into this life during sleep and dreaming, which initially surges up and down in chaotic images from the life of sleep. The most remarkable and strange views have been formed in the field of scientific thinking, also in relation to sleep and dream life. It would be very interesting to go into this at some point. However, I must be brief in relation to these things, which are only to be mentioned here. Above all, people have really strange ideas about what happens during sleep. I must draw attention to this.
