Excerpt from Emanuel Swedenborg's Journal of Dreams and Spiritual Experiences: In the Year Seventeen Hundred and Forty-Four Emanuel Swedenborg, at various periods of his life, was in the iiabit of keeping a diary. The most extensive and best known of his diaries is the Spiritual Diary, in which, from the year 1747 to 1765, he made notes of his experiences in the spiritual world. As far as is known, Swedenborg did not begin to keep a diary until the year 1733, when he wrote down a very brief sketch of his first two foreign journeys, beginning with the year 1710. This was followed by a larger itinerary, describing his travels in Germany during the years 1733 and 1734, but it was discontinued during the year 1735. when Swedenborg remained at his home in Stockholm. When, in the year 1736, he started on his fourth and most extensive foreign journey, he again began to keep an itinerary, or, more properly speaking, a diary, which he kept up until March.1739, describing his travels in Holland, Flanders. France, and Italy. It has been reported that Swedenborg, in the manuscript containing this Diary, also described some remarkable dreams which he experienced during these years, but that his heirs removed the pages containing these dreams. Only two leaves, however, are missing from this manuscript. (Doc.11:130.) We come now to Swedenborg's third attempt at keeping a diary, - the manuscript which has become known as "Swedenborg's Dreams, 1744," - an octavo pocket book, (6 1/2 by 4 inches), bound in parchment and containing 104 written pages.

In 1744 Swedenborg traveled the Netherlands to gather material for a scientific treatise on the anatomy and behavior of animals. En route, he began having strange and disturbing dreams. It was Swedenborg's custom to keep a diary while he traveled, and so he recorded his dreams in its pages. These visions began the process of Swedenborg's spiritual awakening, which culminated in visions of angels, demons, heaven and hell. Swedenborg would largely abandon scientific pursuits and instead devote himself to recording the mystical visions that would dominate his legacy. The whereabouts of this journal were unknown for decades after Swedenborg's death, but it was eventually discovered in the Royal Library in the 1850s and subsequently published.
