Account
of
several
significant
experiences
in
the
author’s
life.
His
major
hypotheses
are
(a)
thoughts
are
power,
(b) biomagnetic
or
telekinetic powers can
be made
useful,
(c)
parapsychical
and
paraphysical
abilities
are
a
necessary
counterbalance
to
the
creations
of
technology,
and
(d)
apports
are
a
special
problem.
The
apport
of
eyeglasses,
which
the
author
witnessed
during
a
s6ance
with Einar Nielsen, was not authentic.

When he was in a
hospital’s intensive care
unit, after
a
car
crash,
the
author
gave
a command
to
his
heart
to
beat faster and
irregularly.
His EKG tracing acquired
the
characteristic
of
a
heart
infarct
condition,
frightening
his
doctor.
The author gave a command to
his heart to return
to
a normal
condition, and
the EKG
tracings became
nor-
mal.

03005. The lucid dream.
Grenzgebiete der Wissenschaft,
1987, 36(2), 173-177.
Lucid
dreaming
is
a
term
created
by
Frederick
van
Ecden
in
1913.
In
lucid
dreaming
the dreamer
(a) knows
that
he or she
is dreaming;
(b) experiences a doubling of
consciousness; he
or
she
is aware
of
the surroundings and
of
participation
in
the
dream
action;
(c)
is
able
to
in-
fluence
the dream
action
by
volition.
Tart’s
high dream,
false
awakening,
conditions
favoring
the occurrence, and
a
better
remembrance
of
the
lucid
dream
are
discussed.
There
are
types
of
lucid
dreamers;
(a)
the
fearful,
un-
stable,
complicated,
mostly
younger
people,
and
(b)
the
self-confident, open,
liberal, mostly older people.
Creative
people,
but
also those who suffer from
migraines, tend
to
have
more
lucid
dreams.
These
can
be
induced
by
LaBerge’s MILD technique. Sparrows’ dream reexperiencing,
posthypnotic
suggestion,
presentation of prearranged
signal,
and
electrostimulation
of the median
nerve.
The merit of
the
lucid
dream
is
that
it
enables
the
dreamer
to
ex-
perience more freedom and happiness.

03007. Bauer, Eberhard (Ed.). A bibliography of

This
complete
double
issue
contains
an
exhaustive
bibliography
(with
detailed
bibliographic
information)
of
the
periodical
literature
on
parapsychology
and
related
topics
held
by Hans
Bender’s
Institute
for
Parapsychology
and
Border Areas
of
Psychology.
In
an
introduction,
the
editor
briefly summarizes
the
sociological
situation
of
con-
temporary parapsychology, and he emphasizes the value the
periodical
literature
has
for
a
field
as
controversial
as
parapsychology.
The
bibliography
itself
(pp.
125-240)
covers the complete
periodical holdings (549 different
peri-
odicals)
of
the
Institute’s
library.
The
library
contains
very old
periodicals from
parapsychology’s
prescientific
era
(c.g, Justinus Kerner’s Blatter aus Prevorst,
1831-1839),
but
also
those
that
have
been
established
only
very
recently
(such
as
the Journal of Scientific Exploration).
Forty-
three percent (235) of the periodicals are
in German; other
languages
represented
are
English
(219
periodicals;
40%),
French
(53; 10%),
Italian
(23; 4%), Spanish
(13;
2%), Dutch
(7;
1%),
Norwegian
(2;
0.4%),
and
Greek,
Swedish,
Por-
tuguese, and Danish
(1
each; 02%)
Of the 549
periodicals
kept
by
the
Institute’s
library,
333
are
not
available
anywhere
else.

This
survey
of
classical
astrology
is
in three
parts:
(a)
a summary
of
its
rich
and
eventful
history
from
the
Babylonians
to the Renaissance; (b) the methods of calcula-
tion,
which
remained
the
same
throughout
the
period,
based on
the
planets,
the
zodiac, and
the "twelve
houses";
(c)
an
analysis
of
astrological
thought,
which
is quite
dif-
ferent from any modern approach.
It provided
a
rigid
in-
terpretation
of
the
universe
and
it
granted
comfort
and
security.
It
presents
a curious combination of religion and
science:
the
physics
is
the
one
forwarded
by
the
Stoics,
with
an
equal
balance
of
the
four
elements,
and
the
microcosmic economy with the soul representing the macro-
cosmic one; but such
a determinism
is
in contradiction with
the
Stoics’
sense
of
responsibility
which
presupposes
free
will.
