A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

What are dreams made of? Here is an explanation of precisely that, not just in the physical sense, but also in the ethereal and astral. The author describes not only how the brain and body dream-as well as instructions for how to guide dreams-but also reveals what the different kinds of dreaming are, and what dreams signify for the ego and the spirit. English clergyman-turned spiritualist CHARLES WEBSTER LEADBEATER (1854-1934) was ordained as an Anglican priest, but later joined the prominent Theosophical Society and traveled to India to study alternative spiritual and occult practices, eventually settling into his life as a clairvoyant and author. His other works include Man Visible and Invisible and The Science of the Sacrament.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Many of the subjects with which our Theosophical studies bring us into contact are so far removed from the experiences and interests of everyday life, that while we feel drawn towards them by an attraction which increases in geometrical progression as we come to know more of them and understand them better, we are yet conscious, at the back of our minds, as it were, of a faint sense of unreality, or at least unpracticality, while we are dealing with them. When we read of the formation of the solar system, or even of the rings and rounds of our own planetary chain, we cannot but feel that, interesting though this is as an abstract study, useful as it is in showing us how man has become what we find him to be, it nevertheless associates itself only indirectly with the life we are living here and now. No such objection as this, however, can be taken to our present subject: all readers of these lines have dreamed—probably many of them are in the habit of dreaming frequently; and they may therefore be interested in an endeavor to account for dream phenomena by the aid of the light thrown upon them by investigation along Theosophic lines.
