93. The Temple Legend: The Relationship of Occultism to the Theosophical Movement 22 Oct 1905, Berlin
Translated by John M. Wood

Let us briefly trace the path of our evolution. What used to be there? A dim dream-like human consciousness, mirroring a world very different from our own; men had a dreaming awareness.
69e. The Humanities and the Future of Humanity: Spiritual Science and Human Life 26 Sep 1912, Basel

Do not end with what is worldly remote, through the play of thought-dreams – –; begin in the expanses of the spirit, and end in the depths of your own soul: – you will find divine goals, recognizing yourself within yourself.
68d. The Nature of Man in the Light of Spiritual Science: The Woman Question and Theosophy 02 Nov 1905, Berlin

I would like to suspect that High and East Asia possess certain spiritual knowledge that the highly developed West can only dream of. If they are able and willing to introduce such knowledge into our more or less flattening culture, they would provide us with ideal values that go far beyond what we can offer them. ...
69b. Knowledge and Immortality: Knowledge and Immortality 27 Nov 1910, Bremen

In this way we can educate our soul until we attain the consciousness that past earth lives are not hypotheses and dreams, but that they stand before the soul as fact, as something that the soul can learn to observe. Our contemporaries do not want to admit that there is a possibility of awakening dormant powers in the soul, so that new worlds, hitherto hidden in the infinite bosom of existence, may be added to what the soul can experience.
235. Karmic Relationships I: Lecture XI 22 Mar 1924, Dornach
Translated by George Adams, Mabel Cotterell, Charles Davy, Dorothy S. Osmond

Lessing, genius as he was, had no visions, not even dreams. Nikolai literally suffered from visions. They came, and they went away only after leeches had been applied.
236. Karmic Relationships II: Perception of Karma 09 May 1924, Dornach
Translated by George Adams, Mabel Cotterell, Charles Davy, Dorothy S. Osmond

You find it again ... precisely on waking the third day you find it again within you. It appears to you like a very real dream. But it has undergone a transformation. It will clothe itself in manifold pictures until it is other than it was.
236. Karmic Relationships II: Terrestrial and Extra-terrestrial Shaping of Karma 16 May 1924, Dornach
Translated by George Adams, Mabel Cotterell, Charles Davy, Dorothy S. Osmond

If these Moon Beings who were once the great primeval Teachers of humanity on earth did not live, as it were, within man's very being after death, his experiences would be like dreams. But they are anything but dreamlike; they are stronger, more full of reality than the so-called normal experiences of earthly life.
171. Inner Impulses of Evolution: Lecture III 18 Sep 1916, Dornach
Translated by Gilbert Church, F. Kozlik, Stewart C. Easton

At best, it emerges from time to time in frightening dream pictures, but they, too, are only feeble. What is happening in the subsensible is unknown to the man of today, and under normal circumstances he knows little of the super-sensible.
171. Goethe and the Crisis of the Nineteenth Century: Thirteenth Lecture 21 Oct 1916, Dornach

The sensory world as such became less and less interesting. Hence the dream of seeking something hidden within this world of sense itself, which after all was the only thing that corresponded to the spirit of the time.
169. Toward Imagination: Balance in Life 04 Jul 1916, Berlin
Translated by Sabine H. Seiler

We need only remember one of her pretty poems—I won't recite many such verses, but just this one: America, thou land of dreams, Thou world of wonder, broad and long! Thy trees of coconut how fair, Thy busy solitude how strong!
