Bemidji, Minn. fourta | 8 y | dreams It was a personal experience of a ' singular character that first impressed upen me. some years ago. the impor- imnce of dreams as a subject for se- {rious investigation. says H. Addington | | Bruce in the Outlook. Until then I (had shared the opinion prevailing |among laymen—and. it would seem. iz\mong most scientists also — that are entirely fanciful and i meaningless. But my experience was I such I could no longer believe this. | To state it briefly. it involved the {recurrence of a most bizarre dream. At least twenty times during a period 'of six months I had the same dream— Tnamely. that a cat was clawing at my {throat. The stags setting and the mi- | i nor incidents might vary. but always | | the central episode was.the same. and | usually the fury of the dream cat's {onset was so great that it would {awaken me. Naturally this recurrent | idream puzzied me, so much so that I Aspnke‘a’bom it. | Then one day the accident of a | | heavy cold that settled in my throat iled to a medical examination. which. [much to my surprise, revealed the | ! presence of a growth, requiring imme- i diate treatment by the surgeon’s knife. | Some time afterward it suddenly oc- lcurred to me that since the removal | of the dangerous growth I had not {once been troubled by the cat clawing jdream. Its significance now began to idawn on me. § I had suffered no pain. not even in- | convenience. from the growth in my | | throat. In fact I had not consciously | {been aware of its presence. But up- | questionably the organic changes ac panying it had given rise to semsa | tions which, slight though they were. had made an impression on my sleep- |ing consciousness safficient to excite |it to activity. My recurrent dream { consequently was to be regarded as a symbolic representation of the disor- der in my throat—an attempt to inter- | pret it. to explain it. And. indeed. | even in the dream. for all its fantastie | imagery and symbolism. the seat of | the trouble was indicated plainly | nough as I could appreciate after the | | urgeon had completed his labors. An experience was reported by Al fred Maury. one of the earliest scien- | tific investigators of the phenomena : of sleep. who dreamed that he was | 3 l} | | living in Paris during the Terror and | had been put on the proscribed list. | After many e ing adventures he was capwrad. tried and sentenced to ! execurion. He saw himself dragged | through the streets amid a clamoring | muititude and forced to mount the | scaffold and bare his neck to the fatal | blow. In that instant as the guillo- | tine knife descended he awoke to find | that a piece of the cornice of his bed : had fallen and struck him on the neck. | Testifying even more impressively to | the twofold action of the dream proc- ess and to its rapidity is a dream ex- lperience of my own. In this dream !'1 was walking alone at night along a country road. It was lined on both sides by trees which. as I learned from a man who presently joined me. | were laden with fruit. I picked some | pears and ate them as we walked and jtalked. The road seemed to overlook a broad valley in which I saw a soli- tary light. My companion told me that |it was in bis home ard invited me to | pass the night with him. After a tir- ing walk we reached the house. a | small two room cabin. He retired into | the inner room and I went to bed in | the outer. I had not been long asleep when. in my dreams, I was awakened by the noise of somebody running. and the thought instantly flashed into my , mind that my host was making off with my money. 1 leaped up shout- ing, top, stop” Then ] veritably awoke and as I did ! so disdnctly beard on the pavement below my window the sound of hur- iried footfalls and a voice crying es- itedly. “Stop. stop!” At once it was lear that these two words. penetrat- ing to my sleeping conscicusness, had provided the necessary stimulus to set up a dream process which. in the frac- | tion of a secoend, had interpreted them as best it could and had presented the results of its interpretation in the form ;of a curious little narrative of noctur- | nal adventure. Dreams may be produced by the use of artificial irritants. One sleeper. whose nose was lightly tickled with a | feather. had a borrible dream of a | mask of pitch being alternately ap- X‘pl.ied to and drawn violently from his | | face. Another. at whose feet a hot | water bag was placed, dreamed that 1 he was walking over hot lava. In a | second experiment of the same sort 'the accidental slipping of the cover i from the hot water bag led to an elab- | orate dream of capture and torture by | Rocky mountain bandits who insisted { that the dreamer knew how to convert | copper into gold and beld his naked | feet in a fire in order to compel him to | communicate his valuable secret. Simi- | larly the application of a slight degree | of heat to the feet of a patient with | paralyzed limbs was followed by a | dream of being transformed into a | bear and taught to dance by being 'iplaced on red hot iron plates. ! - 1 Life without ianghing is a dreary olank.—Thackeray. ! genue bride a check for $1.800. i of a chance, it is true, but some chance.
