reality. are no longer distinct: they
flow In the same channel.
Normal Mind Has Two inteIiIoeness.
This is not as strange as 1t looks.
for every normal mind has at least
two intelligences. one conscious and
the other subconscious. One might al
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 at rest
Because OF this larger field Of vision
men often prophesy things that are
to take place. DR.. Hammond. we'll

1t 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: at cannot be doubted the
number OF true dreams would be
greater II we were to fall asleep In a
better condition.; filling ourselves with
wine and flesh obscures our dreams"

Mozart more than any other musi-
clan said that he was at his best
when dreaming or in this stage OF
thinking. AS he once told friend:
when I am all right and in good
spirits either in a carriage or walking
and at night when I cannot sleep
thoughts come streaming at their best.
The things which occur to me keep
in my head and hum them to myself.
