One person may experience the same thing as another in a dream, but they may recount the dream in a completely different, radically different way because their dream images have a completely different meaning. What is important to the spiritual researcher when it comes to dreams? It is not important for him to pursue the dream images as such – whether one grasps them in their reality or in their symbolism – but rather the inner drama of the dream: how one image follows another, whether one image replaces the next, i.e., whether it is a relaxation or a fright, and the like. This inner drama, which the soul experiences completely subconsciously, only reveals itself to ordinary consciousness in that the subconscious experience is clothed in the reminiscences of everyday life. What is at work in the subconscious as the drama of the soul is clothed in images. The same experience can be clothed differently for hundreds of people, in hundreds of different images. Anyone who, as a spiritual researcher, becomes acquainted with a dream, therefore knows that they must not listen to the dream by looking at its content, but rather at the how in it, at the way in which the images surge. That is where the essence lies.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Ein Mensch kann dasselbe erleben wie ein anderer im Traume; aber er kann den Traum ganz anders, radikal anders erzählen, weil seine Traumbilder ganz andere Bedeutung haben. Auf was kommt es beim Traume dem Geistesforscher an? Nicht darauf kommt es ihm an, die Traumbilder als solche zu verfolgen - ob man sie nun in ihrer Wirklichkeit oder in ihrer Symbolik erfaßt-, sondern auf die innere Dramatik des Traumes: wie ein Bild auf das andere folgt, ob ein Bild das nächste ablöst, also eine Entspannung ist oder eine Beängstigung und dergleichen. Diese innere Dramatik, die die Seele ganz unterbewußt durchlebt, gibt sich nur dadurch dem gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein kund, daß sich das unterbewußt Erlebte in die Reminiszenzen des Alltagslebens kleidet.
