the most familiar though not the invariable dinv inv arable feature of dream composition and by which any head may ma be fitted upon any tiny shoulders you happen to know a bishop whom in real life

after ter awaking and arid this is why it is apparently so impossible to find any theory that will embrace the whole field of dream phenomena and reduce them to intelligible unity of cause canse 2 mr Green greenwood wool in one passage falla falls kick the idea f mental duality and this defife seems to derive borne ome conjectural support from the familar experience of dreaming and knowing what we

toward a general theory you dream of the occurrence of a tain incident which strikes you as lar jar and inexplicable but which is presently explained in the course of the same dream by a sequence of

remembers to have lad one ex essentially analogous tolar to mr green woods and which w aich was briefly as follows he lie dreamed that lie put a question to another person in the form of a request for torti in 10 information formation and received a different reply from what he lie could have antici the reply taking the form of an in zell elligant ellig igent correction of ids ills own owl error as its im plied in his query the tile mysterious thing being that he lie was enlightened by his ills own peature rea ture to borrow a phrase of mr fr green woods liis ills creature crea tuie riving giving him sefor mation which he lie received as an acquisition at new nev knowledge but of which alpar atly ho be must nevertheless have been possessed at that lot point of time when v hen lie framed his ills own question tor for his ills power of conceiving the question itse itself I 1 im piled plied hia his unconscious forecast of the reply which yet came upon him as a surprise it is is another case of duplex mind one half mf of the mind conveying to the other half information with winch which the latter was previously unsupplied but the pres ent writer vv anter has had another private arh ate experience if possible still more extraordinary he ile was staying in lit a small country house his bedroom was immediately above a dowing d ran ing room in lit which was a piano and another inmate of the house was as a lady who was au amateur pianist about 8 one morning ho he dreamed bebas be was 1 in n the tile gaiden garden where he was lomed joined by this lady laivand lad vand and together they at once entered tile house when the lady proceeding to the piano sat down and began playing webers well known polacca lu in K E which commences with a trill or shake shako ho lie thereupon awoke to find flud that the lady was actually at the piano below that she was just commencing webers polacca and that the trill which occupies perhaps a fraction f over a second in execution waa was just being played now tho the amazing not to say sta gaerin 1 i feature of the tile thing Is this that th the I 1 inu net dent which in fit the dream ream was antecedent to the playing of tile polacca aviz alz th the walk front the tile pardon garden to the drawing room must in reality have been invented by tho the drear dreamers tiers mind after the actual first note of the music had bad been struck and invented for the purpose of leading up lip to eliat mr greenwood will probable agree with us its that this is la in a certain sense an even more comple complex case ease than those of pro lepsy lepAy it seems to imply that tho the dreaming amine mind cannot only annihilate the time condition of things lings ti as we apprehend it in fit wakine experience but can alao ablo invert
