PHILOSOPHY OF DREAMS. Scientific Review of the Ology of Weird Fancies. Eti- Ii O'Sclllvan, the Celebrated rt Dl the That Are ISOM EFORE the 1 dawn of history dreams awed and intercHted primitive man. The strangeness and variety of the phenomena attracted Egyptian seers, Hebrew prophets and Grecian and Roman philosophers, thu.s laying the foundation of the present science of psychology, tfrom remote antiquity to the present i-time human ingenuity has been exhausted in tabulating HChemes or their interpretation, with the obvious result of much charlatanism. In modern times metaphysicians, msycholgists and alienists have been obliged, from tho nature of their m- to fully consider the ptie- of reams.

A mass of matter has been collected by students of psychiatry, by alienists who study the phenomena 'from its pathological standpoint, and Ly physiological observers experimenters who merely regard physical phenomenon, seeking its in physical conditions. 1'Vom this large mass of data the following turesofthe person sinking in health and dying.

The picture is projected of a corpse, a funeral, and all this, both as to the primary association and the dream itself may'have been unconscious cerebration, and" thus seem unaccountable to the prceipient. The links of the chain which hoids together the dream images are really forged in part in our waking hours, though the process was so rapid as to escape our attention.

One of the most remarkable features of dreams is the singular power of arranging and com- binin" ideas in the most vivid dramas.

The actual constructive power so evinced in dreams whereby ideas arc not only brought together but new products formed from them, both the scenes and the images being in many instances new, though suggested by similar scenes and images s.sen in part or whole, are stained from descriptions read or heard of.

It would be nigh impossible to do anything involving such coherency during delirium, a condition of such gravity and so well defined by Prof. Manasloy that i append it: "Did the invention of hell need any explanation, the mental sufferings of the delirious patient in most instances might fur dish it." These instances of logical work done In dreams illustrate the spontaneous nature of the process of creative ac- tfvity with which consciousness ana will have no more to do as active agents than with the imaginative creation of the inspired poets, for it is when the products arc formed that they rise into clear consciousness, and only lien they are known that they can be willed A significant fact in regard to the dramatic power displayed in dreams is the rapidity of its action, presenting ia an instant what would take hours to think out consciously or to describe adequately in words. A still more noteworthy fact is the mental power of the dreamer, the vivid recollection of things of which he has no remembrance in the waking state. How lavishl he draws jht from off our walilng tolls, They do divide our being." In comparing sleep and.

dreams with hypnosis, somnambulism and insanity, we find that the difference is not so mnch in kind as it is in permanence and degree. We have seen that in the sane the dreams can be so incoherent, so illogical and so utterly at variance with the thoughts and actions during consciousness that the condition of the mental operations during such a dream is identical with the mental operations of an insane person in the waking state. Sere, then, we have the paradoxical condition of a person sane in his waking moments, and practically insane in his sleep. The striking similarity between natural sleep and hypnosis or induced sleep must have impressed Brair very forcibly when he gave to this induced sleep the name hypnotism hypnos and not only has the similarity impressed this most notable investigator since Mesmerstime, but is boldly held out as the base on which the school of Sancy rests. "We find Liubault, Bernheim and Brullard, as as Forel, of Zurich, offer- in rr this view and treating hypnosis as an ordinary sleep their hypothesis being that a person who falls asleep spontaneously is en rapport with himself, while a hypnotized subject is en rapport with the one u-ho hypnotized him, and this in their theory is the chief difference.

As there are two classes of so there are two conditions of hypnotic consciousness, (a) the light and (b) the deep. lu the deep hypnosis the sense delusions are almost identical with the sense delusion in dreams; as regards the mode of origin of suggested dreams, and the origin of the suggested sense delusions of hypnosis, they are identical. In hypnosis, as in sleep, the stimuli are enormously overestimated by tho consciousness, i. drumming with tho fingers on the table suggesting a military band to the dreamer, etc. It depends, however, much on the character of the subject what the interpretation given to any stimuli may be.

The uncorrectcd interpretation given to stimuli which reach the brain is a phenomenon of both sleep aad hypnotism. As to sequence in dreams, and the fact that they can be logical, and are frequently so, we find many cases where the dream consciousness carries on some planned mental work, showing that there may be logic in the mental processes in sleep, and adherence to tho dominant idea of wakefulncss even in dreams. We find the same logical processes in the hypnotic subiect, where the mental process works out a logical sequence to the dominant thought, which is the suggestion made by the hypnotizcr. The activity of the muscles sleep is often an automatic continuation movements begun awake. find that' certain external stimuli may cause movements during sleep that imply consciousness, i.

For the purpose of discussing dreams intelligently writers on hypnotism opathv and kindred topics divide them into two those induced by stimulation, and (b), those induced bv or the result of association of ideas." Maury, Preyer, Prevost, Ilar- vov aud -Leisner, through a large scries of'experiments, induced almost every ordinary form of dreams by nerve stimulation. Those relating to the "association of ideas" are somewhat obscure, and the theory can be more incic'lv conveyed by illustrations, a friend speaks of a "common acquaint ance, remarks, on hia poor health, the language calling up Tngucly visual pic- srreat vividness, One of the most frequent oecurrences that confront the dreamer is the confusion attending the sense of identity; the unity of individual acter is blurred and seemingly lost. the same moment he is WmseU somebody eLso, and he does absurd aud perhaps criminal things in the most matter-of-fact way and is not at all surprised at doing them.

The resemblance between hypnotism and somnambulism is so great that the name "somnambulism" is used for both, hypnotism being described by Richet and others as artiOcial somnambulism, while somnambulism (as we find it in the sleeping subject) is described as natural somnambulism. Prof. Flint, in his very exhaustive treaties on physiology, after a rather full discussion of dreams and tfceir causation, gives his opinion as follows: "We may have dreams which are not due, as far as. can be ascertained, to impressions from the external world received during sleep." It was for the purpose of interpreting the dreams whose origin Prof. vaguely hints at that we owe the institution of the Egyptian, Grecian and Roman oracles.

Wo find that in divinatory magic the Babylonians had tho most elaborate code of rules; that and Babylon were the chief sources whence the. world acquired knowledge of the higher branches of the occult sciences so called. hicn knowledge, when it passed into'the custody of Greece and Rome, was consolidated, and by them grafted on our occidental civilization. But the ancients have hardly outdone 'our modern and middle period seers in the importance given to this subject dreams. On this point I would recall to the reader the large part they play in both the Old and New Testaments.

Dr. W. M. McLaury, of this citv, wrote a pamphlet on "Hallucinations and Delusions," in which, after devoting some space to the discussion of dreams, he concluded: "Dreams and visions comprise an important part of the sacred Scriptures. All -inspired seem to have been impressed with the importance of these evidences of spirit manifestation.

There If Koom Enough In the Cnlt.d Statti for 945,780,800 Have you any idea of the number of persons that the United States would sustain without overcrowding the population or even going beyond the limit of density now shown by the state of Rhode Island? The last census of the pipny state just gives it a population of 800,000. The area of the state in square miles is only thus we find that there is an average of 318 persons on every square mile of her territory- We can best illustrate the sustaining capacity of the whole of the United States and of the other states by making some comparisons. Tho state of Texas has an area of 205,750 square miles; and, were it equally as densely populated as -Little Rhody," would comfortably sustain a population of 83.513,028 Inhabitants-a greater number of persons than the whole country is expected to have in the rear 1000. Scatter people all orei the whole land from the Atlantic tc.the Pacific, and from the gulf to the British possessions, as thickly as they are now in Rhode Istaad, and we would have 945,708,500 inhabitants, instead ol an insignificant 62,000,000.
