Something About Dreams.

Fred ". Eastman, in the July Atlantic.
Dreams are due to an increase of SEN
sation and circulation over tina which
exists i'm profound sleep. Observations
made upon patients with cranial de-
fects show that when we are dreaming
the brain is greater in volume than in
deep sleep, n less han when we are
awake. Thus this intermediate volume
of blood would indicate that dreams are
an intermediate stage between uncon-
seriousness and wakefulness, and their
Incomplete and irregular intelligence
would indicate the same thing. This
increased circulation is usually due to
sellsory stimulation affecting the vase
motor center and causing a return OF
blood to the head. with resultant in
creased consciousness. Contrary to
popular belief, dreams in themselves do
not contribute to light OIL broken SLEEP
in which they are present. Such a cor
dition is due to the ever present stimuli
which, according to their strength OY
the degree of irritability of the cells
maintain even in sleep Il varying de-
gree of consciousness Of which the
dreams are merely a manifestation
Therefore the fatiguing effect often
also attributed to dreams is not due to
them. but to the lighter degree of sleel.
n less cell restoration which they
accompany, and which are due to some
irritation.
Sleep is 10 longer indefinitely con
sidered a wandering abroad of the soul,
but is now known to be a temporary
poisoning of the brain cells by the
waste products resulting during the
day from the activity of the body cells
In general. Thus when a muscle cell
or a nerve cell acts. nutritiye material
stored within it's walls is broken down
into substances that are of no value
and merely impede further action of
the cell unless removed. Normally
these waste products are washed out
by the blood stream which at the same
time provides new cell food, and is
finally itself purified by the excretory
organs-the lungs and the kidneys. In
the course OF the dav. however. produce
ton is in excess of removal and then
! the clogging effect of these substances
is manifested by fatigue in muscles and
brain. the extreme degree OF which re-
suits. in the latter organ. in the in
ability to act. which we know as sleep
The third Of our time thus spent out
of commission is therefore really due
to the inadcquacy of the excretory or.
gans for purifying the blood.
