together in relevant way. To him
acting and life, the picture and the
reality, are no longer distipct; they
flow in the same channel.
Normal Mind Has Two intelIiqences.
This is not as strange al it looks.
for every normal mind has at least
| two intelligences, one conscious and
the other subconscious. One might H.
most say that in dreaming the subcon-
scious intelligence is playing against
the conscious intelligence. This shows
why great people often act on the re.
suits Of their dreams. though they do
not always know why. This also ex-
plains why we remember things we
had forgotten and often reason more
clearly when our bodies are st rest.
Because Of this larger field Of vision
men often prophesy things that are
to take place. DR.. Hammond, a well
known pl ysician, knew a man who be-
fore an attack Of paralysis repeatedly
said that he had been cut in two down
the middle line, and could only move
on one side, while a young woman
who had swallowed molten lead In
her dreams. on awakening WIS at
tackled by tonsilitis.
The mind Is so active when it Is
supposed to be asleep that il the
motor co-ordinates are not cut OF
somnambulism takes place, the body
responds to the command of the brain,
without the person ever realizing it.
It is rather startling to hear that
man thinks as intelligently asleep as
awake, but no less an authority than
Sir Arthur Mitchell admits that think
ing is essential to life. Thinking when
we sleep may be different than when
we are awake, but the process goes
on just the same. Man cannot think
unless he is alive. and he cannot be
alive without thinking.
Dreams Confused in Memory.
Dreams are not as confused as we
think. They become confused from
the standpoint Of memory, but are not
from the point Of the dream organ.
Memory half-blurred in trying to re-
call them makes dreaming seem con-
fused. Dreams born under normal
conditions are normal, it is only those
that are created under abnormal con-
ditions that are strange. For as Cic-
ero said: 1T cannot be doubted the
number Of true dreams would be
greater II we were to fall asleep in
better condition; filling ourselves with
wine and flesh obscures our dreams"
Carl du Prel holds that every in
dividual has two consciousnesses ris-
ing and sinking like the weight of the
scale. These are in alienation awak-
ing and sleeping. Potentially the
dream consciousness is present even
in waking" he says, "and the waking
consciousness in dreams, just as the
light Of the stars is present when the
sun shines, but is first visible when
the sun sets. We're the light not SO
weak in most of us it would never
have been necessary to have written
on the temple of Delphi, "Know thy
SELF" and Plato would not have said
that Most men only dream, the phil
osopher alone strives to be awake"
Mozart more than any other must
clan said that he was at his best
when dreaming or in this stage of
thinking. AS he once told a friend:
when l am all right and in good
spirits either in carriage or walking
and at night when cannot sleep
thoughts come streaming at their best.
The things which occur to me l keep
in my head and hum them to myself.
If l stick to 1t there soon come one
after another useful crumbs for the
pie, according to counterpart, har-
mony, etc. This now inflames my soul,
which keeps growing and expanding.
and all the invention and construction
go on as in fine, strong dream"
