220. Man's Fall and Redemption 26 Jan 1923, Dornach
Translator Unknown

This is so, because in the, beginning of its life, when the child does nothing but sleep and dream, thoughts take hold of its entire organism. When the organism gradually grows firmer and harder, the thoughts, no longer seize the earthly and watery elements in the organism, but only the air element and the fire or warmth element.
270. Esoteric Instructions: Sixth Recapitulation Lesson 17 Sep 1924, Dornach
Translated by John Riedel

We are nearer to existence in feeling, but the content we feel is like a dream, so that we can only speak from bright awake thinking and therefore only while awake can we speak of dreaming feeling.
270. Esoteric Lessons for the First Class II: Tenth Hour 25 Apr 1924, Dornach
Translated by Frank Thomas Smith

In reality in ancient times the shepherds in the fields did not merely gaze up at the star-studded sky with physical eyes, but also in dream-consciousness or sleep-consciousness out there with their flocks they turned their souls with closed eyes towards outer space.
270. Esoteric Lessons for the First Class II: Eighteenth Hour 12 Jul 1924, Dornach
Translated by Frank Thomas Smith

But he didn't understand the connection between his earthly existence and that existence which shone into his clairvoyant dreams. But the initiates and their teachings were there. They explained the connection, first to their students, and through their students to all the people.
154. The Presence of the Dead on the Spiritual Path: Robert Hamerling: Poet and Thinker 26 Apr 1914, Berlin
Translated by Christoph von Arnim

In part they came from the moment's lively impressions and stimulation, usually from nature around me, in part they were waking dreams and premonitions. Speaking about himself, the mystic Jakob Böhme used to say that the higher meaning, the mystical life of the spirit was awakened in him miraculously at the moment when he was dreamily absorbed in gazing at a pewter bowl sparkling in the sunlight.
130. The Festivals and Their Meaning II: Easter: The Death of a God and its Fruits in Humanity 05 May 1912, Düsseldorf
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond, Alan P. Shepherd, Charles Davy

No one who has come to spiritual science from the ground of Christianity would ever dream, as a Christian, of saying that the Buddha returns in the flesh. He knows that this would wound the deepest, most intimate feelings of the Buddhist and that such a statement would be utterly at variance with the true character of those Beings who have risen from the rank of Bodhisattva to that of Buddha.
93. The Temple Legend: The Mysteries of the Druids and the ‘Drottes’ 30 Sep 1904, Berlin
Translated by John M. Wood

Baldur is Mithras, the sun's love. He foresees the danger that threatens him; he dreams of it at night. The other gods of Valhalla, the Scandinavian Olympus, to whom he reveals his sad fore-bodings, reassure him, and to guard against any harm befalling him, exact an oath from every thing in nature on his behalf, except from the mistletoe, which was omitted on account of its apparently inoffensive qualities.
89. Awareness—Life—Form: Theosophical Cosmology III 09 Jun 1904, Berlin
Translated by Anna R. Meuss

We would call the human being of that first race a human being in a dream. It is difficult to describe the human being of that first race. This state was followed by another, when matter condensed more and differentiated into a materiality that was more spiritual and another that was more physical—north pole and south pole, as it were.

Translated by E. H. Goddard

For example, they are talking about Strindberg's play of dream, “Tramspiel” which he produced and they can see the spiritual world breaking in everywhere. Strindberg worked in an extraordinary way and people are saying that there must be some spiritual communication there.
195. The Cosmic New Year: The Michael Path to Christ: A Christmas Lecture 25 Dec 1919, Stuttgart
Translated by Harry Collison

Just as we learn to know a man when we look into his face, just as we draw conclusions about the gentleness of his soul from the gentleness of his countenance, and about his character from the way he looks at us, so the priesthood of the Old Testament, through the atavistic clairvoyance which flowed into their souls in dreams, desired to gain from the countenance of Jahve, from Michael's connection with Jahve, that which it was not yet possible for mankind to gain.
