SOME STRANGE EXPERIENCES The Events of a Whole Lifetime May Flit Past the Dreamer In a Few Mo- monte—Queer Results of Experiment by a Noted Psychologist. a Dream A characteristic of dreams which, as the rather materialistic Dr. Clarke says, “hints at a life that has neither beginning nor end and is bounded by no limits which human thoughts can compass” Is the rapidity with which events happen in the dream world, Thus, when asleep and dreaming, we live an entire lifetime in a minote: in a space of time that is scarcely more than a second we pass through experiences that could not be duplicat- ed in this objective sphere in hours, perhaps in years. Count Lovalette relates that one night, when imprisoned and under gen- tence of death, he dreamed that he stood for five hours at a Paris street corner, where he witnessed a con tinuous succession of harrowing scenes of blood, every one of which wrought his soul to the highest pitch of excite ment. When he woke he found that he had been asleep less than two min- utes. In a more recent experiment, made expressly to test the truth of these theories, the subject was aroused from sleep by a few drops of water being sprinkled upon his forehead. It took but an Instant to accomplish this re. sult, and yet in that Incalculably brief space of time the man dreamed of going on an excursion: of an accident by which he was plunged into a lake, and during the long struggle to escape death that followed all the experiences of bis life seemed to flash before him, Just as they are sald to appear to a person who is actually drowning. Dreams sre tricksters, Professor Titchener of Cornell university told with gusto of his experience. As na specialist in psychology he interested himself in dreams. Like a true sclen- tist, be one set about gathering data, He wanted know what caused dreams, where they came from, what they meant, and all that, He deter mined to watch himself when he sient and to awake himself at once when he found himself dreaming something of value. Bo, with a notebook on a writing table near his bed, he forced himself fo waken several nights and to write down, while the dream were vivid, his remem brances of the detalls and by a study of the room, the bed and his physical condition to attempt to arrive at the possible causes of his dreams. He was getting on famously. One night be had a particularly vivid dream. In accordance with his prac tice, he forced himself to awake and immediately write down clearly every thing about it, then went back to sleep again. The next morning he arose and was astounded to see that his note sheet was biank. He remembered pos the he had down thereon in the middle of the preceding night. The next night agaln he wrote down his notes after his dreams, only to have the same uncanny sensation the next morning at finding nothing recorded The strange circumstances set him to pondering. That night he Impressed upon his mind before dropping off Into slumber that be must awaken with his first dream, or, if not with that, with his second dream. Subsequently this strong antesleeping command deliver ed to himself was present all through his dream consclousness,. When the first scenes of a vivid dream came be fore his fancy he felt himself awaken. and he set about writing down the facts upon the pad at his table. It was then that fron some source of inner consciousness he felt the com- mand again to awake, although he seemed at the time to be In full posses. sion of his normal faculties. His eyes opened, and the secret was out. He found himself iying in bed, where he bad been all that night His rising after each dream had become so much a routine that he had dreamed that he had arisen and had made the notes, and his dream was go clear that it seemed reality.
