122. Genesis (1959): Light and Darkness. Yom and Lay'lah 21 Aug 1910, Munich
Translated by Dorothy Lenn, Owen Barfield

All these things are much more profound than modern natural science dreams! Thus when Genesis speaks of darkness, it is speaking of the manifestation of the backward Saturn Beings.

Translated by Dorothy Lenn, Owen Barfield

1 All these things are much more profound than modern natural science dreams! Thus when Genesis speaks of darkness, it is speaking of the manifestation of the backward Saturn Beings.
102. The Influence of Spiritual Beings on Man: Lecture V 16 Mar 1908, Berlin
Translator Unknown

The earth was no longer sun; but their inner consciousness was illumined as today in sleep you illumine your consciousness with the whole world of dreams. This inner shining consciousness, however, was at that time infinitely more significant, more living.
250. The History of the German Section of the Theosophical Society 1902-1913: Eighth General Assembly of the German Section of the Theosophical Society 24 Oct 1909, Berlin

The man who wrote the article said that he had met a nanny in a family who took the children to the zoo every day and occasionally met a lady there who began telling her about the nature and significance of the astral body, and eventually convinced this servant girl completely. I would not dream of believing that this could happen to a member of the Theosophical Society, for Theosophists are gradually acquiring a sense of tact in such matters.
237. Karmic Relationships III: Spiritual Conditions of Evolution Leading up to the Anthroposophical Movement 11 Jul 1924, Dornach
Translated by George Adams, Dorothy S. Osmond

And as the Ego confronts the cosmos without any kind of support, being unable at its present stage to perceive anything at all, man as he falls asleep ceases to have perceptions. For the little that emerges in his dreams is quite sporadic. This again was not so in the times of which I am now speaking. The Ego did not at once absorb the astral body; the astral body continued to exist, independently in its own substance, even after the human being had fallen asleep.
237. Karmic Relationships III: Ahriman's Fight Against the Michael Principle. The Message of Michael 01 Aug 1924, Dornach
Translated by George Adams, Dorothy S. Osmond

They pointed to all that was to come, though not in the way of the old Mysteries which had come to human beings who did not yet possess Intelligence on earth, and who, accordingly, still had a dream-like experience of super-sensible worlds. They pointed to that new life of the Mysteries which we must now begin to understand in the realm of Anthroposophy, and which is absolutely compatible with the full Intelligence of man—the clear, light-filled Intelligence.
228. Man in the Past, Present, and Future; The Evolution of Consciousness: The Sun-Initiation of the Druid Priest and His Moon-Science 10 Sep 1923, Dornach
Translated by E. H. Goddard

Through his peculiar knowledge of man, the most intimate parts of the natural man, e.g. in the dream-recognized the symptoms coming forth, as it were, from the imaginations that arose, the vague, unconscious flickering-upward of the deeper human nature into consciousness under the influence of these remedies in which the giant-forces were subdued and held in check, he recognized how these things worked in the human being into whom they were instilled.
216. Supersensible Influences in the History of Mankind: Lecture III 24 Sep 1922, Dornach
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

Think of the wonderful understanding of nature possessed by Goethe and by other men in those days, for example, the Danish writer Steven, or men like Troxler, or Schubert who wrote so prolifically on the subject of dreams and whose best inspirations came from the Nature-Spirits. And there were many others—more numerous in the first half of the nineteenth century than later on—who are examples of what came to men by this means.
217. The Younger Generation: Lecture VII 09 Oct 1922, Stuttgart
Translated by René M. Querido

The difference consists in these old phenomena of human evolution arising from a life of soul that was full of pictures and dream-like, whereas the life of soul we bear within us and towards which we are still striving, must become fully conscious.
219. Man and the World of Stars: Rhythms of Earthly and Spiritual Life. Love, Memory, the Moral Life 15 Dec 1922, Dornach
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

If that were so, man's moral impulses would be mere dreams. For everything he calls moral would pass away when, again in accordance with mechanical laws, the Earth had reached her end.
