On dreams. Though not 100% in my opinion. But until I find something more extensive, I'll say this book is a must read on understanding the source of dreams. What I'm doing now is making a record of my dreams and beginning to recognize what triggered a particular one. The information is 100% accurate, it's just that I feel that there's some things it didn't cover on all of the types of dreams we have. I was hoping he would have said something about the falling dreams we have, dropping from high altitudes, but he didn't. Though it covers the most common ones. Like when a wild beast is after you. I lost count of all the dreams like that I've had in my lifetime, and now I know why.

What I was suppose is that once you learn the dynamics of dreaming you can trace the trigger for any type of dream you have. Theosophy studies are extremely extensive and probably takes a couple of years to complete. But I feel certain that by it's completion I'll know dreams like the back of my hand. Grab up any theosophy books of yore you can find. Many can be gotten for free now.

Dreams What they Are and How they are Caused C W Leadbeater 9781161357219 Books Reviews

This book told me more about my dreams than Jung, Freud, or any of the other Dream Interpreters I've read. It goes way beyond symbolism and basic interpretations - this book takes you to the core source of dream work from an esoteric perspective. It will open your eyes like nothing else!
A serious study about dreams, providing a better understanding on this subject, from an esoteric and nearly scientific point of view. I still find this book updated or advanced for our present time, although it was written a long time ago.
Very nice to read with a format that fits in your pocket.
Still reading. Great so far.
Thank you!
Quaintly written, well it is quite old. However it is for those interested in the subject very
interesting although a bit dry in his style of writing.
This book is not intended for the average reader. In the introduction, the author states, "As I am writing in the main for students of theosophy, I shall feel myself at liberty to use, without detailed explanation, the ordinary theosophical terms, with which I may safely assume them to be familiar, since otherwise my little book would far exceed its allotted limits. Should it, however, fall into the hands of any to whom the occasional use of such terms constitutes a difficulty, I can only apologize to them, and refer them for these preliminary explanations to any elementary theosophical work, such as Mrs. Besant's The Ancient Wisdom, or Man and His Bodies.
'Dreams What they Are and How they are Caused' is a highly useful booklet that explains why we dream and what the spiritual reasons are for dreaming.

Now, at the time of writing, back in 1903, when science was far from admitting anything beyond the five senses and when it was firmly believed that all sensations and emotions were processed in the brain, and when the luminous body was strictly denied in science, Leadbeater provided clairvoyant scientific explanations that today we know are true, but that at his time were considered as pure esoterism. Leadbeater first introduces in the aura, or the etheric body, explaining of what it consists and what its function is, and writes
—Now this etheric double has often been called the vehicle of the human life-ether or vital force (called in Sanskrit prâna), and anyone who has developed the psychic faculties can see exactly how this is so. He will see the solar life-principle almost colorless, though intensely luminous and active, which is constantly poured into earth’s atmosphere by the sun he will see how the etheric part of his spleen in the exercise of its wonderful function absorbs this universal life, and specializes it into prana, so that it may be more readily assimilable by his body; how it then courses all over that body, running along every nerve-thread in tiny globules of lovely rosy light, causing the glow of life and health and activity to penetrate every atom of the etheric double; and how, when the rose-colored particles have been absorbed, the superfluous life-ether finally radiates from the body in every direction as bluish-white light.

Leadbeater’s assumption that it’s the spleen that collects and refines the human energy field is in accordance with the teaching of numerous tribal peoples, and it’s also in alignment with ancient Hermetic Tradition. The author has a funny way to explain how the transmission of energy for healing works. Here, we have to bear in mind that at his time what we today call the quantum field was still called magnetism or life-ether.

Explaining the mechanisms, without having even tackled the subject of dreams, the author explains the astral body, or desire-body, which is well different from the etheric body that he discussed above. The astral body serves us as a vehicle for the astral plane, the plane we are going in between lives. But usually we do not stay very long in the astral plane, and move on to higher planes. For the astral plane, we need the astral body, because it’s the vibrational shell for this density of energies.

It becomes obvious why Leadbeater explained all of this, while it was really the subject of his book The Inner Life (1911)—which I equally reviewed. For those who are not adepts of theosophy and who have not read that other book, he did well to introduce these concepts, because otherwise his explanations about dreams could not really be understood. The first important fact about dreams that Leadbeater reports is that they are not just ‘imagination’ as psychology continues to believe, but another level of consciousness, another realm of existence, with a different, more subtle vibration, that we enter, using our astral vehicle, more or less automatically, when we sleep, and only when we sleep deep enough
—Clairvoyant observation bears abundant testimony to the fact that when a man falls into deep slumber the higher principles in their astral vehicle almost invariably withdraw from the body, and hover in its immediate neighborhood.

It is anathema for mechanistic science to consider thought being anything but ‘pictures in your mind’; and that is why it understands little of the mechanism of mind. The first thing to learn in holistic science is that thought is a movement of subtle energy that triggers immediate effects, both for self and others. The fact is only that most people have a low energy level in their thought process; this results in little or no effects. But take a master, a yogi, a saint, and you will see their thought triggers phenomenal effects, either for good or for bad! This is what magic is all about, after all. A real master only needs to focus their thought and can trigger any desired effect. With saints and yogis, it has been reported that their thoughts can do miracles, such as producing matter instantly, shapeshift their bodies, levitate the person in the air, or heal others virtually as quickly as they think of it.

Another daring hypothesis that Leadbeater presents in this book is that we do not own our thoughts and that actually many thoughts we have are really not our own because they are picked up from other people, without our being conscious of this fact.
Another interesting theme that Leadbeater expands about in this uncanny booklet is the notion of time in dreams. In fact, time in dreams is totally different from time in wake consciousness. In a dream minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years and even decades can have passed, while the subject was dreaming just one second.

Unfortunately Leadbeater does not attempt to explain why this is so. The reason may be that we are basically beyond relativity theory when we are in the astral, as relativity theory only is valid for matter, not for energy-waves, and thought is wave-like energy and moves with a speed that is approximately the speed of the light – which is why events are dilated in time, just as it would be the case when astronauts fly in space with a spaceship that can fly close to, or identical with, the speed of the light. Another subject that Leadbeater treats is the faculty of prevision in dreams. Precognition has always given rise to questions of cosmic determinism versus free will, and Leadbeater voices a clear credo for human free will, but he adds an important precaution
—Man, however, undoubtedly does possess free-will; and therefore … prevision is possible only to a certain extent. In the affairs of the average man it is probably possible to a very large extent, since he has developed no will of his own worth speaking of, and is consequently very largely the creature of circumstances; his karma places him amid certain surroundings, and their action upon him is so much the most important factor in his history that his future course may be foreseen with almost mathematical certainty.
