Everybody dreams, but there are few who place any importance to the
phenomena of sleep. Before we can begin to comprehend or even
analyze dreams, whether our dreams are symbolic or otherwise, we must
first divert from our mind our materialistic conceptions of what the
individual called man really is. The external or physical man, is no more
the man than the coat he wears. The physical man is only an instrument
of which the real inner man or soul expresses itself in the physical
universe.
Dreams afford a separation of soul and body. As soon as the senses
become torpid, the inner man withdraws from the outer. There are three
different ways which afford this separation. First, natural sleep. Second,
induced sleep, such as hypnotism, mesmerism or trance. Third, death. In the above two cases the man has only left his physical body temporarily,
whereas in death he has left it forever. In the case of death, the link
which unites soul and body, as seen by clairvoyant vision, is broken, but
in trance or sleep it is released. The real man is then in the astral world.
He now functions in his astral body, which becomes a vehicle for
expressing consciousness, just as the physical body is an instrument for
expressing consciousness in the waking state.
