Real Concepts Topsyturvy

THE conceptions of time, space, and causallty,
which steady and guide all waking rational
life, either much disturbed quite upset in the
life of dreams. The real duration of dreams admits
extent of experimental invest stgatIOn. 1t
would seem that while some dreams last only a few
seconds, most have duration of from two seven
minutes A few may last for more hours.
Yet during this brief period events happen in dream
life that would consume years or even cent ureS
actuality; as in the story of MOhammeds dream
when the beginning and the ending were completed
within the time occupied by falling vase. So the
mechanism OF spatal imagery IS such as to be i'm
possible of realization under the actual constitu-
tion of things and in accordance with natural laws
In this dream llte too anything may figure as the
cause of anything else; and transformations that
are quite impossible in reality excite no surprise
Thus dreamer saw, with marvellous rapditv a
horse transformed INTO a buck and the buck become
in turn a calf, cat, a beautiful maiden, an old
woman. The tree which the eat climbed became
a church, then a garden the mewlng of the cat

Sonata" Dannecker's colossal 'Christus. and one
version of Votaires song to Henriade Yet all these,

changed into the playing of the organ and this again
into the song of the maiden.
Those who wish to exalt the value OF dream lie as
means of insight into the truth of things are ac-
customed to speak of the superior freedom 1t
allows to the imagination and thinking faculty
But such called freedom IS gained by the re-
moval of the restraints of commonsense and ration
ality And most of the mental processes IN dreams
can scarcely be called thinking IN any dehn1te
meaning of that word for thought implies the self
controlled direction of the intellect toward some
desired end of knowledge. -
Other characteristics of the ordinary dream lte
are lack of the finer social and moral sentiments
and of the self control of will In most dreams the
estimates of value, the standards of interest, that
govern our daily waking life, either greatly
relaxed or wholly wanting and what goes on IN the
minds theater is rather done for us than by us
Morality in Dreams
TN this connection we may Just mention but can
not discuss the question moral responsibility
for our dreams Upon this question one can scarcely
take either extreme position Undoubtedly what
we dream shows what is in all But II the citizens
of the country were actually to do, any day,
what they have the previous night dreamed OF doing,
the land would be like vast lunatlc asylum
mixed up with escaped CRIMINALS from a vast penl-
tentiarv. As Radestock said The good allow them
selves only in dreams what the bad do while awake
While however, most dreams have this quite
''rubbishv" and irrational, and even absurd char
acter, there few of distinctly higher sort
In general, that very " decentralization to which
reference has been made is naturally connected with
an exaggerated senSitveness the part OF the SEN
Sorv apparatus and the mental images
1t is not wholly strange, then that numerous cases
of dreams of invention and discovery and even of
prophetic anticipation, authenticated. For
many of these the full account readily be given
in terms of modern psychology; for Others such an
account doubtless could be given, if all the facts
cernng them could be asCertained. For l must
again that very few persons can recall or mar
rate a dream of their it actually occurred; !;
and perhaps in the of all of the cOlOring of
our self conscious and rational waking life almost

1t is characteristic of inventive and artistic work
generally that while severe training and good and
planful self control favorable to the best results,
there is much of the half conscious wholly sub

NIISITORS often note the
" ceremonious observanceS
attending the offering of gifts and
the unusual ways in which they
are prepared for presentation.

of old the custom, which still OBJ

Preparing For a Journey.

Jerome X. Jerome recalled with rev.
erence habit of his methodical uncle,
who. before packing for journey. al
ways made a list" This was the
system which he followed. gathered
from his uncle's own lips:
Take a piece of paper and put down
on it everything you can possibly re-
quire Then go over it and see that
it contains nothing you can possibly
do without.
Imagine yourself in bed. What have
you got on? Very well: put 1t down.
together with change. You get up.
What do you do? Wash yourself.
What do you wash yourself with?
Soap. Put down soap. 90 on till you
have finished Then take your clothes.
Begin at your feet. What do you wear
on your feet? Boots. shoes. socks
Put them down. Work up till you get
to your head. What do you want be
sides clothes? Put down everything.
This Is the plan the old gentleman
always pursued. The list made. he
would go over it carefully to see that
he had forgotten nothing. Then he
would go over it again and strike out
everything it was possible to dispense
with. Then he would lose the list.

Got the Train Stopped.

When the late Robert Bonner pur-
chased Maud s.. he sent her to Char
ter Oak park to be trained. One day
a friend of Mr. Bonner left New
York to visit him at the park, but
found that the train did not stop ut
that station. The conductor was
polite, but said that he could not go
against orders. At New Haven halt
was made, and Mr.. Bonner's friend
tried to bride the engineer with a
ten dollar bill. but in vain. He was
then told that Charles 2. Clark, the
president Of the road. was on the
train, and he went to him.
"Why don't you see the conductors"
asked Mr. Clark.
81 have. but he will not disobey
orders"
"Why not then 60 forward and
bride the engineer?'
II tried bribery at New Haven. but
1t would not work."
The absence of evasion was the
best policy Mr.. Clark not only gave
orders to have the train stopped at
Charter Oak. but promised some day
to see Maud S. He had witnessed the
attempt at bribery. and the frank con-
fession Of the offense seemed to please
