349. Colour and the Human Races: Color and the Human Races 03 Mar 1923, Dornach
Translated by Mabel Cotterell

The Asiatic, yellow man, develops more an inner dream life and therefore the whole Asiatic civilization has this dreamer-element. Thus he is not only living more in himself; he absorbs something from the universe.
350. Rhythms in the Cosmos and in the Human Being: On The Deeper Causes of the World War Catastrophe 16 Jun 1923, Dornach
Translated by Steiner Online Library

She could see the whole of the life she had led in what others called a dream world. What was it with this girl? What I am telling you now happens countless times, of course, and sometimes in a gruesome way.
353. The History of Humanity and the World Views of Civilized Nations: About Scarring — The Mummy 26 Apr 1924, Dornach

But they were not as level-headed as we are today either. They lived in a dream-like existence and had enormous strength. And today, people have no idea how few people were needed in ancient Egypt to roll a huge stone, sometimes very high, and bring it to its destination.
353. The History of Humanity and the World Views of Civilized Nations: Decadent Atlantic Culture in Tibet – The Dalai Lama How can Europe spread its spiritual culture in Asia? – Englishmen and Germans as colonizers 20 May 1924, Dornach

Now it is like this: the same knowledge that was once there, that came to people as if in a dream fog, this same knowledge is to come to people again through anthroposophy. But that cannot happen in the Orient.
343. The Foundation Course: Prophecy, Dogma and Paganism 02 Oct 1921, Dornach
Translated by Hanna von Maltitz

It could happen that someone sees in an advantageous moment in a dream, how he, riding a horse, falls and hurts himself. Such seeing is certainly a sight into the future and one can, even by being careful, find out everything with all the scientific chicaneries that exclude an influence on following events, one cannot speak otherwise but admit a true looking into the future exists.
344. The Founding of the Christian Community: Second Lecture 07 Sep 1922, Dornach

Perhaps it can be expressed in another way: when we look at our earth and its surroundings, we have minerals, plants, animals, and further afield we have stars, sun and moon, clouds, rivers, mountains; but although physicists dream of the constancy of matter, all this will one day no longer be there. All this is a temporary phenomenon in the universe, that is, in place of what we have on earth in our minerals, plants, animals, and so on, there will be nothing, less than nothing.
348. Health and Illness, Volume I: Illnesses Occurring in the Different Periods of Life 24 Oct 1922, Dornach
Translated by Maria St. Goar

Why did he lose it? I will not give you a theory, which anyone can dream up, but merely point out some facts. Consider another creature, the pig. When pigs are free in nature, they are covered with hair, but domesticated pigs lose it.
106. Egyptian Myths and Mysteries: Tenth Lecture 12 Sep 1908, Leipzig
Translated by Norman MacBeth

During all this time the Devachanic consciousness became ever darker and more shadowy. It was not a dream consciousness; this was never the case. It was a consciousness of which man was fully aware. In the course of evolution it became darkened.
250. The History of the German Section of the Theosophical Society 1902-1913: Autobiographical Lecture About Childhood and Youth Years up to the Weimar Period 04 Feb 1913, Berlin

And now the boy read what he had not yet read by Kant, for example his treatise of 1763 on the “Attempt to Introduce the Concept of Negative Sizes into World Wisdom” or Kant's “Dreams of a Spirit Seer, Explained by Dreams of Metaphysics”, where reference is made to Swedenborg. But not only Kant, the whole of literature could be traced through individual representative books by Hegel, Schelling, Fichte and their students, for example Karl Leonhard Reinhold, by Darwin and so on.
18. The Riddles of Philosophy: The Classics of World and Life Conception
Translated by Fritz C. A. Koelln

Even when appearing in the body, the soul is nevertheless free from the body, the consciousness of which—in its most perfect formation—merely hovers like a light dream by which it is not disturbed. The soul is not a quality, nor faculty, nor anything of that kind in particular.
It is for this reason that he fought against indefinite ideals of state and society and made himself the champion of the order existing in reality. Whoever dreams of an indefinite ideal for the future believes, in Hegel's opinion, that the general reason has been waiting for him to make his appearance.
