Lucid dreaming is a term created by Frederick van Eeden 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 2 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, preseatation 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. - AL ZEITSCHRIFT FUR PARAPSYCHOLOGIE UND GRENZGEBSIETE DER PSYCHOLOGIE 03006.

Zeitschrift fur Parapsychologie und Grenzgebiete der Psychologie, 1987, 29(2/3), 113-240. 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 (e.g, Justinus Kerner’s Bldtter 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; 04%), and Greek, Swedish, Por- _tuguese, and Danish (1 each; 0.2%) Of the 549 periodicals kept by the Institute’s library, 333 are not available anywhere else. - G.H. 03008.

[Originally published in: Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, 1985, 8, 7-24] 5 figs, 90 refs 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. - DA 03010.
