Dreams: What They Are And How They Are Caused

Written by C. W. Leadbeater

Narrated by Matthew Schmitz

Dreams are part of common experience, yet a mystery that is little understood. Psychologists and others who are ignorant of the human being's true constitution, ranging across several subtle levels, are only groping to learn their significance. C.W.Leadbeater, an eminent clairvoyant and author of many books, explains in the manual how human consciousness funcitions when the body is asleep and how it is affected by the experiences in the physical and subtle worlds. These experiences take shape as dreams of different kinds - true, prophetic, symbolical, confused and so on. The author emphasizes the importance of mastery over thought processes and lower passions in order to respond to the influences of the true Self within. The last thoughts before going to sleep must be about pure and holy things.

C. W. Leadbeater

Charles Webster Leadbeater (1854–1934) was a British clairvoyant, Theosophist, and prolific spiritual teacher who played a leading role in the Theosophical Society alongside Annie Besant. Originally ordained as an Anglican priest, Leadbeater left the church to pursue occult exploration and was known for his claimed clairvoyant abilities, including visions of auras, chakras, and past lives. In works like Life After Death: And How Theosophy Unveils It, he examined the post-mortem journey of the soul through the lens of karma, astral planes, and spiritual evolution. Leadbeater contributed to the popularization of Eastern metaphysics in the West and was instrumental in introducing esoteric concepts such as kundalini and etheric bodies to broader audiences. Despite controversy—particularly around his personal life—Leadbeater helped define modern Theosophy and laid the groundwork for many New Age beliefs and practices that followed.
