Soul, personality, consciousness, emotional life and subconsciousness are concepts all related to dreaming. In sleep, the soul allows the relevant information of the day to sink into the subconscious and the irrelevant information is removed.
In the realm of many feelings and information, dreams are formed. These dreams are formed from information and feelings from our daily life, supplemented by feelings from past lives, which are stored in our subconscious. The subconscious mind can be compared to a kind of huge database, where all our feelings from all our lives are stored. In the dream, our feelings are sometimes imagined and composed completely differently from the original events. This can then lead to dream images, which would be impossible in normal life. In the third degree of sleep, where our day consciousness has not yet completely sunk into our spirit body, we can still experience these dreams consciously. The moment we then wake up, we can often remember the dream as well.

-It is usually just the recovery of the day consciousness. Then the human being has experienced too much over the years, and that is then analysed in the dream, in the sleep, and then the life and the material reach harmony again – and be happy that it happens – or the inner life would irrevocably destroy the nervous system in one month.

-But what you want to know is: you are asleep, in unconsciousness, aren’t you, you are consciously thinking. And now you can fantasize, you can experience things, you can experience crazy whims, you can do that, you can have the great- est fun, you can experience a fairground, a space, you can experience wonderful images, spiritual images, scenes, and you can, what every human being experi- ences, experience a fairground in the spirit. You touch something here and some- thing there and something there, that piles up, that dominates you, that sits on top of your feeling, and that must go, or you will go after a while… And there the dream is just ahead, that is the experiencing for the human being asleep, the correcting of the day consciousness, and then those horrible things leave again. And then the personality can say again one day, you do not even know that: ‘Hey, how light I am again’. And then the overhasty, the superfluous, what does not have any possession, has not got any foundation, that now goes overboard. The soul does that, your life of feeling does that. Your life of feeling says: I want nothing more to do with that. You throw the most crazy things overboard precisely when asleep, and one day you attract them, you attract them to you in day consciousness. Do you not think that is wonderful, that the soul and the personality, cares more, takes better care of itself, is more in harmony asleep, than in day consciousness?

-Here, in this sleep, all those castles in the air arise and people build their own heavens. That happens as a result of not going to sleep and since the soul lives between two worlds, the earth has been disengaged. These are therefore spiritual and material disturbances. Spiritual
