From early till late he is occupied with his work and his daily experiences; he makes use of his intellect and his outer senses. He lives and works in what we call the waking state. But that is only *one* state; between waking and sleeping there is another. In this state he is aware of pictures, dream pictures, passing through his soul. These pictures are not directly related to the external world and ordinary reality. We may call this the dream-state, and it is interesting to study how it takes its course. Many people suppose that dreams are nonsense, but this is not so. Even with people today dreams have a meaning, but not that of experiences in waking life. When we are awake, our mental pictures always correspond to definite facts and experiences; in our dreams they do not. For instance, you may dream that you hear the clatter of horses' hooves, and when you wake up you realise that you were hearing the ticking of the clock by your bedside. Dreams are symbolic pictures. You may have a dream which tells a whole story. A student, for instance, may dream about a duel and all its preliminary details, from the request for pistols to the report of the shot which wakes him—and then he realises that he has knocked down the chair that stood by his bed. Or again, a peasant woman may dream that she is on her way to church; she enters; she hears the priest utter lofty sayings, with his arms moving; suddenly his arms turn into wings and then the priest starts to crow: she wakes up and hears the cock crowing outside!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":290,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/95/1906-09-02/p005","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"E.H.

The actual cause of the dream I have quoted was the last event in point of time. The reason is that such a dream flashes through the soul in a moment and has its own inner time. You must picture it in this way: when you wake up and remember all the details, you extend this inner time yourself, so that the events seem to have occurred in that extended period. This will also help you to get some idea of how time appears in the astral world. A small experience thus creates a long dramatic course of events. The dream flashes through the soul in a moment and in a flash arouses a whole series of pictures. In this way you yourself transpose time into the dream.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":152,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/95/1906-09-02/p006","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"E.H.

Or the beating of your heart or a feeling of being hot may be represented in a dream by a fiery stove. Some people who possess a particular inner sensitivity may have a different experience: they may dream, for instance, that they are in an unhappy situation. Here the dream is prophetic—a symbol of some latent illness which will come out in a few days' time. Many people even dream of the remedy for such an illness.

Das Leben eines solchen verläuft so, daß er von früh bis spät seiner Arbeit und seinen täglichen Erfahrungen nachgeht, daß er seinen Verstand anwendet und seine äußeren Sinne gebraucht. Er lebt und arbeitet also in einem Zustand, den wir den Wachzustand nennen. Das ist aber nur ein Zustand; ein anderer ist der, der zwischen Wachen und Schlafen liegt. Da ist der Mensch sich bewußt, daß Bilder durch seine Seele ziehen, Traumbilder. Sie beziehen sich nicht direkt auf die äußere Welt, auf die gewöhnliche Wirklichkeit, sondern indirekt. Diesen Zustand können wir den Traumzustand nennen. Es ist sehr interessant zu studieren, wie dieser Zustand verläuft. Viele Menschen werden der Meinung sein, daß der Traum etwas ganz Sinnloses ist. Das ist nicht der Fall. Auch beim heutigen Menschen haben die Träume einen gewissen Sinn, nur nicht den Sinn, den die Erlebnisse im Wachzustande haben. Im Wachen stimmt unsere Vorstellung immer mit bestimmten Sachen und Erlebnissen überein; beim Traum gestaltet sich das anders. Man kann zum Beispiel schlafen und träumen, daß man auf der Straße Pferdegetrappel hört; man wacht auf und merkt, daß man das Ticken einer Uhr gehört hat, die man neben sich liegen hatte. Der Traum ist ein Symboliker, ein Sinnbildner, er drückte das Ticktack der Uhr sinnbildlich durch Pferdegetrappel aus. Man kann ganze Geschichten träumen. Ein Student zum Beispiel träumt von einem Duell mit allen vorangehenden Einzelheiten, von der Forderung auf Pistolen bis zum Krachen des Schusses, der ihn aufweckt. Da zeigt es sich, daß er den Stuhl, der neben seinem Bett stand, umgeworfen hatte. Ein anderes Beispiel: Eine Bäuerin träumt vom Kirchgang. Sie tritt in die Kirche, der Priester spricht erhabene Worte, seine Arme bewegen sich; auf einmal werden seine Arme zu Flügeln, und dann fängt der Geistliche plötzlich an zu krähen wie ein Hahn. Sie wacht auf, und draußen kräht der Hahn.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":316,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/95/1906-09-02/p005"},{"locus":"GA 95/1906-09-02/p006","passage_number":6,"text":"Man sieht daraus, daß der Traum ganz andere Zeitverhältnisse hat als das Tagesbewußtsein, denn bei den angeführten Träumen trat die eigentliche Ursache zeitlich als letztes Ereignis ein. Das rührt davon her, daß ein solcher Traum, verglichen mit der physischen Wirklichkeit, in einem Augenblick durch die Seele schießt und im Nu eine ganze Reihe von Vorstellungen erweckt; der Mensch verpflanzt dabei selbst die Zeit in den Traum hinein. Man muß sich das in der folgenden Weise vorstellen: Indem der Aufwachende sich an alle Einzelheiten erinnert, dehnt er innerlich die Zeit selbst aus, so daß es ihm erscheint, als ob die Ereignisse in der entsprechenden Zeitlänge abgelaufen wären. Ein kleines Geschehnis wird also im Traum oft zu einem langen dramatischen Vorgang. Hier können wir einen Einblick gewinnen, wie die Zeit im Astralen erscheint.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":131,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/95/1906-09-02/p006"},{"locus":"GA 95/1906-09-02/p007","passage_number":7,"text":"Auch innere Zustände können sich im Traum symbolisch darstellen, zum Beispiel ein Kopfschmerz: Der Mensch träumt, er sei in einem dumpfen Kellerloch mit Spinnweben.
