Last night there were many spirits around me, about someone or several of whom I spoke in the morning, and I heard that they had been sleeping, and in fact pleasantly, as I also perceived. So sleep is also a state proper to spirits, as it is to people on earth. When I was nearly awake but before I woke up, various lights appeared to me, something bright having glittering bubbles, something darker, then something colored. I was told that there are lights like these in their sleep, with variety. And I also realized that they too had had dreams, and pleasant ones, without my having had dreams at the same time. For it is known that when a person on earth is in their company, the person has dreams together with them, spoken of several times [7, 1882]; but in this instance they had dreams, and I had not. 1748, 30 June.
