DREAMS EXAGGERATED.


The will is suspended during sleep, so the dream mind is more a prey
to excitability than the waking mind.

Thus when images appear upon the dream vision they are frequently distorted
into hideous malformations that fill it with fear and excitement.


CONTRARY DREAMS.


The constant dwelling of the mind upon certain things distorts
their shapes upon subjectivity, thus throwing dreams in exactly
opposite channels to the waking reality. Yet the dreamer always
feels a sense of being awake in dreams like these, and on awakening
experiences no recuperation of mind or body after such contrary dreams,
Sleep is not fully sustained while the dreamer is held by material
ideas in the subjective state.

WHEN DREAMS ARE LESS PRESCIENT.


The cessation of the organs to perform healthful functions converts
a man into a different person, and dreams while in this state would
have no prophetic meaning, unless to warn the dreamer of this
disorganization of his physical system.
