Dreams relating to Salesian religious perfection

Unlike the dreams he told the boys, which were more didactic in nature and which emphasised the fantastic and fabulous aspects more, those meant for the Salesians more immediately mirrored Don Bosco's state of mind, his charism as Founder. His images and metaphors served to highlight the virtues of the good Salesian and some practical aspects that he considered to be decisive. The texts you find here are taken from original documents: either originals of Don Bosco's or notes taken down by his listeners.
