AUTHORS WRITE

FORE RETIRING TO CAUSE
NIGHTMARES WHEN m NEED
OF A PLOT.

Some OF the most popular novels in
our language owe their origin entirely
to dreams, for the wonderful work,
ings of the brain during sleep often
furnish material which the author is
not slow to turn TO good account.
Had it not been for a dream Rob.
inson Crusoe" would probably never
have been written. At the time the
plct was first conceived Defoe was
suffering from great mental worry
that resulted in his slumbers being
broken by incessant Nightmares On
one of these occasions he dreamed
that he was stranded ON desert is
land alone and began TO work out in
the dream a means of existence So
pleased was he with the experience
that Defoe confessed TO feelings of
disappointment when he awoke, and
he fastened to put his vision into
readable form.
"Rienzi' was the dream offspring of
Lord Lytton's brain. The whole plot

space of two hours sleep between VIC

after hard days fishing went to
sleep. only to get a shadowy outline
of Westward 10" in his dreams,
though what connection the story had
with his sport it is difficult TO under
stand.
