The sleeping life OF all perfectly heaChy dllu NORMAN
neople however, is also full of dreams Some authorities
po 60 far as to saw that we dream all the time
asoon When we awake after night Of deep, dream
less sleep" they say simply meanthat we cannot re-
member any of our Dreams that the doors between sleep
inc and waking life have been tightly closed When we
awake with the memory OF dream that memory mas
spped through the door with us, from the great store
of dreams on the other side. This theory or continual
dreaming is not accepted by most Investigators; 1t IS
manifestlv almost impossible to prove one way or the
other It is only the dreams we remember that we can
study and try to explain
When sleeper begins to dream he enters new
world That world is just as real to hum as the WoIlo
of waking life as long as his dream lasts Most people
have had the experience OF dreaming VlVdy ana yeC OH
awakening and looking back their dream they seem
to remember that they felt all along that 1t was only
dream
This experience would seem to contradict the gen
eralv accented view that the dream world is real to the
dreamer but those who have studied the matter tell us
that in such dream are probably sleeping ll8nuy'
Every time we realize that the adventures we are having
are only dream, what really happens is that we wake
up for an instant only to fall instantly asleep again IN
other words so long dreaming in sound sleep,
or in anv real sleep at ALL the dream is completely real
and convincing We are inside it, part OF 1t; we can
not stand aside and recognize it for dream without
waking up.
The current idea of dream is that of a tumbled,
tanplcd chaotic tumble OF unreasonable duu lllOGiCi
exnerences The usual idea of the dream-World IS that
of lawless and dsorderly place. This is completely
mistaken notion according to the new hight on Che SUD
ect dream we are now told, is above all things lea-
sonable dream is not disconnected, but eaboratey
connected In a dream the mind is making Wd eIlOft
to explain logically what does not understand to take
the distorted messages that to it through the sleep
inc senses and the fragments of memory that ARISE III
the sleeping brain and make them into reasonable
whole.
Thus sleeper dreams Perhaps during the day ne
has tried to find friend This bit of memory comes up
and in his dream he tries to find him again The lfleho

the dream the dreamer starts to walk to his 1lehd
home While he walks in his dream, he may be lying III
bed in such way that his breathing is difficult Inns
fact of difficult breathing comes to the dream lno
which at once seeks reasonable explanation me
