Visions In Sleep That Have Driven Their Victims to Madness — Odd Cases Culled From the Notebook of a Specialist In Mental Diseases. “Dreams, dreams, dreams!” began the specialist in mental diseases gloom- | fly. “Dreams have sent me many a melancholy patient. “I was early Impressed with the analogies presented by dreams to in- of dreamland’'s dramas came before | my notice. Late one night it was and the end of an exceptionally busy day. There was a violent ringing at my bell, and a moment later a man burst excit. edly into my room and begged me to accompany him to his home. “Strangest thing in the world!" he jerked. ‘My wife It Is. First she Is . covering the baby with kisses; next ' she is wanting to kill it. Woke up with a scream and wanted to put the infant out of its misery, and it wasn't in misery at all’ “I smiled and accompanied the man, to his home. It was not an extraordl- | nary thing for an insane woman to do, ! and this | remarked to the husband, who at once replied: | ‘But she is sane as you or 1. “And | smiled again. This horror of insanity in one's family Is with us al i falling into snowdrifts. A gas distend- ed stomach, pushing up the diaphragm and compressing the lungs, produces dreams of “something sitting on your chest” or dramatic struggles against other forms of suffocation. The common single dream, that of falling, falling, falling. from a great height, to wake with a gasp of relief | just as you are about to strike and be dashed to pieces, Is probably due to the general muscular relaxation and falling of the head, arms and limbs which accompanies settling down to! sleep. Careful studies have shown that it alinost invariably occurs during the first forty-five seconds of sleep. A slip, a change of position of a sixteenth of | an Inch, Is enough to suggest the idea | of falling to the brain. It “does the! True to Nature.

The man was. however, partly ber this impression was strengthened . Fight: his wife was simply another vic by an incident which I can never for- get. A young man consulted me about a trifling mental ailment. [ dealt with his case in the ordinary way, and I was pieased to notice he quickly im- proved. Some weeks after I had told him he was quite recovered, however, he returned, looking an awful wreck, and, fighting hard to keep the tears back, he begged me to help him, He had become a victim of nightmare. “ ‘Here you are,’ he whispered nerv- ously, pressing a sheet of paper into my hand. ‘Here you are. Some of the things [ see. “Sketched on the slip were skeletons, erosshones, a gallows and a coffin, “And you really see these things? I inquired carelessly, “+See them? he replied. ‘See them? Why, 1 feel them! Feel them! Feel the rope! Smell the coffin!’ “And the poor fellow clutched at his throat in real agony. “1 did my best for him, but he be- came worse. The last time he called upon me he whispered in my ear that he had been duping me; that he was the man wanted for the B. murder. Just as ! feared, nightmare had shat- tered his reason. ) “He went away, and [ never saw him again. The murder of B. was expiated, but it was not my former patient's name | read in the accounts of the execution. I have every reason for belleving that he ended his night- mare in suicide. “Such are the instances that stud the mental physician's book of dreams. One of my earliest patients was a young man who labored under the de- lusion, the result of a repeated dream, that he had suddenly come into a large fortune. “1 am not surprised, doctor, he sald. ‘1 am not surprised. | am des- tined to fill Important positions, and very naturally the Providence which demands that | serve the state has come to my ald with the means I shall find necessary.’ “Then to my astonishment, he in- formed me that in order to give the proper touch of dignity to his exalted state he had ordered a number of mo- tor cars and horses and carriages and was negotiating for the purchase of a large residence, which a leading firm of house furnishers was to fit out In lavish style. *“*] must do these things, you know,’ he added. ‘I must.’ “Having uttered these words, I recall, he drifted to other subjects and con- versed as rationally as any one. “It was a case In which I took a spe- cial interest. The young man had a good face. He was a favorite, 1 found, with his employers, and when he ex- pressed regret at having to leave them consequent upon his Imaginary good fortune his look of sorrow was some- thing to remember. [ told his employ: ers s0 and discovered that the regard was mutual. They closed their eyes to his strange fancies, accepted his notice in gloomy silence, afterward compli- menting him on his good luck, pre- dicted for him a great future, and—I was doing my best. “In the end, I am glad to say, 1 was successful. [ found that the young man had actually given out the orders enumerated to me, but these [ easily countermanded. The dreaming and the delusion ended when I induced my pa- tient to go to reside in another district “He never referred to his visionary fortune again. It passed away from him like the phantom that it was and was forgotten. Indeed, very likely were you to speak of it now he would laugh in his natural quick, business- like way and sarcastically request you to explain the lamentable condition of your mind to the person he does not remember-—myself. “I had scarcely finished with this St] ease, strangely enough, when another tim of niglgtmare. The previous even ing she had visited the local theater | and, being very much impressed with | | the melodrama she had seen there, Uf had affected her sieep. “She dreamed that her baby was be | ing cruelly tortured and that she couid | hear it screaming. Waking up, with a shriek, she rushed to the little cot | where the sleeping infant lay, and had | her husband not caught her In time ' nightmare would have been responsi- | ble for another tragedy. “And 1 have a most vivid recollection, too, of a still more extraordinary in- | stance which came before me in a | northern city many years ago. A ser- | ' geant of poliee while going his rounds ' heard a female voice exclaim: ‘Oh, my phildren! Save my children!’ He pro- | ceeded at once to the house whence the | cries came and eventually found the room and gained an entrance to It. “Where is it? the woman erled. ‘Where is it? | ““Where Is what? asked the ser geant. “Then, with an agonized ‘Oh! she threw her arms into the air and fell | down unconscious. ‘It’ was her baby, and she had thrown it through the window. “The woman, who ordinarily was quite sane, had been dreaming that the house was on fire. So vivid was the vision that when she awoke she | thought she could smell the barning wood and hear the crackling of the | flames. Hastlly raising the bedroom | window, she seized her youngest child, ' and, calling out to the imaginary crowd low to catch it, she threw it down to the street. “Not the least remarkable circum- stance in this case was the strange | statement made by the police court magistrate during the subsequent In- vestigation. He sald he considered that it would be a most dangerous doc- trine to lay down that because a per- son was dreaming while committing an offense he or she was not responsl- ble for the act. “At the subsequent trial, however, the judge viewed the matter more mercifully. If the prisoner, he sald, really did this with the idea that it was the best means of insuring the safety of her child, the jury would be justified in concluding she was not guilty. And the jury very properly de- clined to convict. “A frequent delusion, particularly among women and girls, Is that they are possessed by devils or witches, and fuvariably the delusion comes of dreaming.”— Baltimore Sun.

If the impression | is not vivid enough to wake you, you “strike bottom” with a delicious sen- sation of restful warmth and repose just such as your tired body Is getting from its “downy couch.” The next common dream, which we have all had scores of times and which, as Dickens quaintly said, he was sure even Queen Victoria, with all her royal wardrobes full of clothes, must have also had, that of suddenly finding your- self in public half dressed, seems al- most equally traceable. The dream, and we can all recall its mortifying vividness, Is usually asso- clated with insufficient or displaced bedclothes. This gives our drowsy | brain cortex the idea that we haven't sufficient clothes on. Our arms and shoulders being completely covered by | the close fitting upper half of the | nightgown, the impression of ‘unpro- | tectedness comes most vividly from our unincased lower limbs.
