The Mystery of "bleep;
[From Chambers's - JournaLi
--
Few, have endeavored to follow:the
soul in its retirement, to -note- itiiat it
then does, thinks, or speaks. That it is
powerful, that it is eloquent, that it is
poetical then, if at. no other time, has
been demonstrated by many examples.
But'the waking and the sleeping soul
are identical; what the latter does when
freed from all fetters, the former would
'.doff it dared. The character - cannot be
put off, like a change of - raiment,. when
we step from one condition of ,existence
Auto the other; our virtues, our vices, our
°passions, our aspirations cling to 1.%
sleeping or waking. The greatest wri
ters have paid most attention to the
visions of the night, " when deep sleep
falleth upon man." Shakspeare is rich
in descriptions of the avenues to the
palace of dreams, sometimes paved with
- horror; and overshadowed by shapes of
,a . gorly and dread. Liken to the mur
derer -king, as he reveals, from his
,dreamless couch, his cravings for the
solace of forgetfulness :
ll'oxv many thousands of my poorest sub
_
jects -
Are at this hour asleep! 0 Sleep, gentle
Sleep,
Nature's soft nurse, hair" have I (righted .
thee,
That thou no more will weigh my eyelids
• down,
And steep my senses in forgetfulness?
'Why rather, Sleep, , Rest thou in smoky
' cribs,
Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee,
And hushed with buzzing night-flies to thy
slumber,
Thanin the perfumed chambers of the great?
Sleep, however, has no objections to the
buzzing of night-fiies, to smoky cabins,
or to hard pallets, provided he can lay
his head on the soft pillow of a clear
conscience. The inmates of the smoky
Cabins might not have butchered their
ecusins by treachery, might not have
,Put strangers to' death without law or
justice, might not have indented the
peaceful plains of their country with the
hoofs of hostile steeds, as the regal
criminal to whom sleep refused to come
had done. What frighted away the
gentle god was the howl of the hell
hounds that attend on guilt, the Erinys,
as Shakspeare himself calls her, that
tracks the blood-spiller to his grave.
Well might he wail and lament as one
with whom " nature's sweet restorer"
refused to abide. To him, with more
justice than to the lover. maddened with
Jealousy, might it be said:
Not poppy, nor mandragora,
Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,
Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep
Which thou ow'dst yesterday.
Pallets hard or soft have not much to
do with the slumbers that visit those
who lie upon them. I have enjoyed the
sweetest of sweet sleeps stretched on
pease-haulm in a cow-house; on a stone
floor in a caravanserai, with five thou
sand armed enemies prowling about on
the outside; on horseback in a dark
night on the edge of precipices; and ex
claimed with Sancho: "Blessed be the
man that invented sleep! It wrappeth
a man about like a garment!" Yet place
occasionally enhances the delight of the
sleeper, by aiding to paint his dreams
with brilliant or delicate colors,
and
soothe the ear of 'his fancy with the
sound Of loving voices. Once, far up in
the Nile, on a little mammillated sand
bank, I tasted sleep in its sweetest,
richest, most fascinating and gorgeous
lfabit, down beyond the Sahara. The
sun had sunk, leaving in the heavens
long trails of glory—a mixture of sap
phire and blood-red vapor,with saffron,
amethyst and beryl. All day the
thermometer had stood at 100 degrees
in the shade, but so tempered by
refreshing winds from the west,
that it seemed then only to have reached
pleasure point. There was a languor in
the atmosphere, filled with the dozy,
drowsy hum of insects, rendered doubly
slumberous by the low,rippling murmur
of the great river, as it glided past tow
ards the northern - tropic. These in
fluences subdued the mind to a pleasing
melancholy, so that I passed out of the
waking into the sleeping world with de
lictos unconsciousness. Without being
too profound in the metaphysics of
dreams, I yet venture to believe that the
testimony of the senses enters largely
into their structure; colors borrowed from
the skies and landscapes around, the
• . figures of palm trees, the masses of rock,
" the lake-like breadth of waters, camels,
horses, buffaloes, thrown confusedly to
gether by the kaleidoscopic power
of fancy, converted my dream on the
sandy island into a reflection of paradise.
- .Nevertheless, when the curtain first
; dropped b'etween me and the outer
`world, I found myself, not on a tropical
river, but in my mother's garden in
England, over which tropical skies
expanded, tropical vegetation beautified,
the banana, the minosa, and the doum
palm. Long rows of beehives,with emus
, v Aers of insects entering or quitting them,
• 'stretched beside the ledges; flowers of
brilliant hues sent forth from their tiny
bells the hum of their plunderers; while
,Trny mother, in the attire of her bright
" -- Youth, led me hither and thither by the
hand as a little child. Suddenly,the sky
bee me clouded; a deep, prolonged wail
assailed the sense of hearing; the whole
'landscape shivered and broke up, and I
woke abruptly, with the dismal howl of
jackals - in my ears. They were sweep
irtg northward after some fleet prey, pro
bably a light gazelle; and in a few min
itttesthe sound died away in the distance.
Calm and stillness then returned, and
brooded
.pver the whole scene. Never
earth appear more beautiful than at
Ma, rabfuent, overhung by hosts of stars
aga'corlstellations, large, liquid, flashing
zither than twinkling in the dark-blue
:`•
vault of infinite space. It was on such
.vitas that I felt sure that some an-
Urne Egyptian priest, meditating, per
haps, on that very island, persuaded
himself that the voice he heard on both
sides of him was the voice of a god -of
Osiris himself. From the whole ex
panded surface of the rippling waves it
:ascended: musically and solemnly into
.
_ -„llfeiltisky air, where, mingling with the
,iltsgaglof the breeze, it, produced a deli
cieuS,concert. At no great distance, ha
a groVe of palms, sang the nightingale,
not sullenly or sadly,,as poets feign, but
With a rich, full gush of joy. Was that
al 4 O`afireana? It may have been, for at
no Other time did I hear the nightingale
in - tropical. Africa. About Cairo, her
-song is common, where, as she perches
among cypresses, surrounded by m or _
tuary cupolas, her notes , undoubtedly
sound like a lament'for the dead,
• Physiologists admit--and if they did
not, it would riot be less indisputable--
thatthe mind isi not, entirely separated
from,the senses in sleep., To demonstrate
' this fact, "numerous experiments have at
various times been made. The difficulty
-in such cases is to insure &report strictly
conformable to trut4,*.tliont additions,
without abatement, without coloring—
' a short, in exact photograph of the
Shaliespeare alludes to this sort
'of Practical AilißsePhy, - and puts forth
his subtle theory under show of describ
mg, the pranks of. Queen Mab.. His
exposition is lively, and not without a
dash, of satire, but exquisitely true to
nature. The predominent sense being
out of the question, the experiment has
to be made with the other four, and first
with hearing. A gentle, sleeper in full
'health, youth, and animal spirits, has
been set to sleep during summer in a
chamber opening upon a garden, at the
extreme end of whibh a skilful person
has played soft music late in the night.
The sleeper, describing her sensations,
said she at first appeared to be plunged
into a world of bright clouds, which
folded her round, exciting sentiments of
strong, delight. Then she descended
upon a bank of violets, while voices of
exquigite harmony filled the air. Being
watched by the.light 9f a dim lamp, the
sleeper's face Ekt, this time seemed pale
with emotion, and . presently, as the
music became more and more sad,
tears appeared between the eye
lashes, and gradually trickled down
the cheeks. Had the sounds ceased, the
lady would have awaked ,at once; to
prevent which, a transition was skill
fully made to a lively air, which in a
short time brought smiles upon the lips..
No memory is sucffiiently tenacious to
record 'without breaks or stops the mul
titudinous evolutions of a dream. The
leeper, who was not a mother, said she
dreamed she was shedding tears betause
persons were forcing away from her a
baby which she had at her breast; when
suddenly the scene changed, and she
found herself in a vast saloon, encircled
by singers and dancers, sometimes eat
ing grapes or pomegranates, drinking
wine, and laughing merrily. One or
two strokes of martial music striking
violently upon the sensorium, awoke
the sleeper at once.
In Shakspeare,we find a curious record
of a wife's observations on the counte
nance of her sleeping husband. The
passage may at first sight be thought too
prolix and minute; but as many persons
do in exciting circumstances talk in their
sleep, the statement is not inconsistent
with nature. The speaker is Lady Per
cy, and the time immediately before the
breaking out of Northumberland's rebel
lion against Henry IV.
In thy faint slumbers I by thee have
watched,
And heard thee murmur tales of iron wars;
Speak terms of manage to thy bounding
steed;
Cry, Courage!—to the field! And thou hest
talked
Of sallies and retires; of trenches, tents;
Of palisadoes, frontiers, parapets,
Of basilisks, of cannon, culverin•
Of prisoners' ransom, and of soldiers slain,
And all the current of a heady fight.
Ely spirit within thee hath been so at war,
And thus hath so bestirred thee in thy
sleep,
That beads of sweat have stood upon thy
brow,
Like bubbles in a late disturbed stream;
And in thy face strange motions have ap
peared,
Such as we see when men restrain their
breath
On some great sudden haste. Oh, what por
tents are these?
Some heavy business hath mylord in hand.
And I mnst know it, else he loves me not.
This obviously is not a mere fanciful
description, but a record of the accurate
study of a sleeping face. Elsewhere, in
a more sportive and sarcastic mood, he
suggesfs what would probably
. be ,the
effects of touching at various points the
persons of sleepers. To• Queen Mab is
delegated the task of awakening by the
delicate pressure of her wand the im
aginations ofslumber's prisoners; though
she is likewise represented as driving
bodily in her carriage through the halls
of fancy :
Her chariot is an empty hazel-nut,
Made by the joiner squirrel, or old grub,
Time out of mind the fairies' coach-makers;
And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers' brains, and then they
dream of love;
On courtiers' knees, that dream on conrtsies
straight ;
O'er. lawyers' fingers, who straight dream
on fees;
O'er ladies' lips, who straight on kisses
dream.
As is implied by the various portions
of this speech, the passions are the great
fountains of dreams, love, pride, ambi
tion, which exert their magic power in
sleep, calling up forms of beauty, placing
the individual in elevated situations, or
soothing him with the exercise of power.
Milton's most exquisite sonnet is based
on a dream of love and sorrow:
Methought I saw my late espoused saint,
Come to me like Alcestis from the grave.
And throughout the poetry of the world
we find scattered here and there pic
tures or fragments flora the land of
dreams, more lovely than any the ma
terial world could supply.
Nevertheless, sleep is no flatterer, but
gives to every man a compound of the
acquisitions he has been at the pains of
making, and a keen consciousness of the
result of the actions which he has been
in the habit of performing. But though,
in the base and malignant, nature hang ,
out during slumber a flag to warn .al I
whom it may concern that snakes and
aspics are coiled secretly within, her
revelations go no further. No one,,cau
step within the curtain which conceals
the delights or the agonies that come to
the happy or to the unhappy man in
sleep. Byron used to say he should like
to know how a man felt who had com
mitted murder—a point upon which
some of his ancestors could have en
lightened him. The feelings in that
case would greatly depend on the part of
the world and the state of the society in
which the murderer might live; for
there are regions in which, when one
has killed and eaten his victim, he rests
as comfortably as if he had supped on
mutton; while there are others in which
he would never again find a moment's
peace, but, waking or sleeping, be
hunted by remorse to his grave. It is a
common belief that, in sleep, fancy and
imagination wake, while reason slum
bers; in which case, many persons may
be said to pass their. whole lives in a
dream.
Goethe used to discuss with the
physii3loglist Muller, the pheno-•
mena of sleep and' dreams, but
could come no nearer their substance
and structure than the philosophers of
past times; nor will discoveries be made
unless through a long series of experi
ments on• food, drink, dress, habits, air,
water and situation, ia l connection with.
sleep. Others have remarked that there
are wine -dreams, spirit dreams and
beer-drums; and it may be mentioned
with equal truth, that there., are dreams
of the mountains and• dreams of the
plains. If;you sleep on the Alps, and
observe the phenomena which attend it,
you will find that the*' differ according
rIIE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : MONDAY, MARCH 5,1866.
to the scale of elevation, and are;'even
modified by being on the north or south
of the chain. If your chamber be about
five or six thousand feet above the :level
of the sea, is is highly pyobable that you
will experience a delicious feeling; the
heart will seem light and buoyant; a
gentle thrill of pleasure will pass
through the whole frame; the brain
seems steeped in ambrosia, and you will
sink into forgetfulness through
layers, as it were, of ex
quisite enjoyment. Even on the
summit of passes, at an elevation of
eight or nine thofisand feet, iittle differ
ence in the state of your sensations is
perceptible; but on the Andes and Him•
alaya, if you ascend much above the
level of Mont Blanc, the lungs labor
with the thin air, and small blood ves
sels are apt to start. Sleep is then dis
turbed beyond description, haunted by
dreadful phantoms, and scarcely at all
refreshing. It is IM worse in places
like Rome, where malaria prevails. The
miasma then appears to feed upon the
flame of life, diminishing its force im
perceptibly, sapping the energies of the
frame, rendering the mind dull and
spiritless, and descending like a night
mare on the soul in dreams, indescriba
bly loathsome and depressing. An
Italian general, talking on this subject,
used a very strong expression. A night
(he said) passed in the Pontine Marshes
or in the Maremma is hell. When a fu
gitive,
previous to escaping into lifelong
exile, he had tried it often, and it made
so terrible an impression on his memory
that it might almost be said to have
haunted him like a Fury through life,
towards the close of which it urged him
to seek,by the fumes of ardent spirits, to
subdue the enemy in his brain. It is
equally true that
pleasant odors refresh
b
the sleepinc , brain, playingwith its
fancies, and shaping them into scenes of
extraordinary beauty.
