LAND O. DREAMS
EW SERIES BY A FAMOUS PSYCHO-ANALYST

these various personages, and en-.
dows them with life. by . process
of dramatic play peculiar to this
dreamlike consciousness.
Thus we can, for example, close
the eyes and imagine to our
selves any fictitious character,
such as Mr.. Pickwicl. If we
happen to be good at "visualiz-
ing as It 'is called (that is to say,
the power Of building up or con,
strucdng mental images by the
power Of the Imagination, we can
mentally see Mr.. Pickwick ana
perhaps imagine that we ourselves
are talking to him and carry on q
mental dialogue in this manner
while yet awake.
This same power of the mind
is extremely active during the
dream state and II is doubtless
true that the majority OF our
dream people" are mere fig.
ments Of the imagination thus
built UP or constructed within
ourselves.
In certain instances, however,
these dream people have told the
dreamer certain things which
afterwards turned out to be true.
but which the dreamer himself
did not know. We can only as.
sumo in such cases, that the
dream parsonage was actually
there" in some way, or that the
subconscious mind Of the dreamer
had acquired these facts by some
process of telepathy and that this
was displayed or brought to the
surface in the dream itself.
Here, then, is a problem upon
which the reader may ponder and
upon which his own dream exne.
riences may throw some light.

on record in which the dreamer
has had 4 debate with one OF
these dream personalities, and has
been worsted in the argument.
Who are these dream people?
Are they real, objective beings.
which exist before the dream be-
gan and who continue to exist
after it is ended? Or are thew
mere creations of our own sub.
conscious imagination? And. If
the latter, how does it come
about that they answer us SO
unexpectedly, and often saw and
do things which seem to us, at
the time, not only independent
OF ourselves but even cleverer
than the things which we could
do or say?
This Is a very interesting oues-

and occult students believe that
the personalities we meet IN

THE MIND AND
THE BODY
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

~ VERYONE is familiar with
the phrase: "the healing
~ power Of nature" or, as
the doctors call it in Latin, the
Wis medicatric naturae. This has
always been q mystical sort Of
phrase, but 1t has lately dawned
upon the medical profession that
it il only another name for. the
unconscious mind.
1t is q good deal like Einstein's
discovery. We had long talked
about the fourth dimension and
also about time, but Einstein
came along and told us that they
were one and the same thing.
There is of course only one
mind, but there is an upper and
objective level Of thought where
consciousness functions, and
lower and subjective level of
whose action the possessor of the
mind IL unconscious.
The conscious mind is occupied
with external problems and is
the instrument through which we
maintain relations with the world
outside of ourselves.
The unconscious mind controls,
guides and arranges the forces of
the body of whose action the
individual is unawares, such as
digestion, circulation, respiration
and healing. ..
We know as a matter of prac.
teal experience that the mind has
a marked effect upon the body.
1t is the unconscious mind that
counts most In the presence Of
illness. It vii; work well II
shock or irritation have not been
overwhelming, and If the physical
condition is good because of the
absence of malnutrition, over
strain or lowered vitality.
1t is not upon drugs, but upon
the morale of the unconscious
mind that the modern physician
chiefly depends, and he knows
how to inspire this morale. 1t Is
this quality In the physician
which gives you confidence in
him and makes you feel better
when he appears.
