The Ural it's Vi oi k Iii Sleep. J
SoMN?MiOJf.iSM is ori unmistakable
form of unconscious cerebration. Here,
while consciousness is wholly dormant,
tho brain performs occssfuhnlly the most
brilliant operation?. Coleridge's poem
of "Kublu Khan," bomposed in opiate
sleep, is an instance of" its achievements
in the realm of pure iinngiuatiou. Many
cases are recorded of students rising at
night, seeking their desks; arid there
vrritiHg down w.olo columns of algebra-,
ib calculations, solutions of geometric
prubl?uis, nnd opinions on difficult cases
of law: Cubatlis says, that Condillac
brought continually to a conclusion at
uiglit in his ?^p; the fcnsonlngs of the
day. In all such cases the work done
utdeep seems bettor than that dune in
waking ho??r?; nay there is no lack of
anecdotes which would point to the pos
sibility of persons in uu unconscious
stato accotnplinhing things beyond their
ordinary powers altogether. Tho mus
eal o- strength ttf mull iu Fomnnuibulism
and delirium, their power of balancing
themselves on roofs, of finding thoir way
in the dark, arc physical advantages re
k-rvcd lor suvh conditions, Abnormal
acutcucas of hearing is also a well-known
accompaniment of them ; and in tfiis
relation wl- must understand the marvel
ous M??ry Vouched for Ly "ho late Sir
Kdwaid t'odiington. Tho captain id
tomnufnd ul a tu:iu-of-war w is one night
sleeping in his cabin, with rt Sentinel,
ns usual, p.-ted at his dttor. In the
,,.:,>/!!.. t!ri bi^bs l..r.i..i.i riUig
his hell, called suddonlv to ttife fe&Hicl,
and ?harp;y dctircd him to tell the lien
tenant, ul the watch to alter the ship's
cuurr-o by ho ninny points. Next uiorn
jng thu officer, on greeting tho captain,
observed ?hat it was most fortunate ho
bad beeii ;,\vure of their position and
h.ul given stich nn o^ler, as there had
been a M..-take in the reckoning, and
of striking a reef. ''I!" said the aston
ished captain;. "I gnvo no order; I
j slept .soundly all night." The sentinel
was summoned, and, of course, testified
that the experienced commander had,
in some unknown way, learned the peril
I of his ship, and saved it. even while iu a
I state k>1 absolute uuconssjonsucss.
i Whatever iresiUur of truth tnrry be
! found hereafter in the crucible wherein
j shall have been tried tho marvels of
spirit-rapping, mesojci ism, and hypno
tism?u hatevcr rcvclc.tion of furgoti.if
; facts or successful hits at scercts?is un
questionably due to the action of uncon
scious c-rcbratior.. Thf pcrsoff reduced
to u state of coma is liable to receive
suggestions from withottt, and these
sugg03:i(.ns and ./ticrres ara aftswercd b;'
his unconscious bruin out of whatever
stores of memory itmu) retain. What a
, man in' i i- knew, that rfo utagio has. over
i yot enabled I.im to tell ; hut wnat he has
once known, and in his conscious hours
has forgotten, t/uit, on the contrary, is
often recalled b\ tho suggestive queries
of the operator when he :.-> in i state of
hypnotism A natural dream snmetjnies
I docs as much,.ns wit :ess all t!u dtS'fiv
ories of hid Ion frxxtaorcfi, e i"[>vs, ete ,
mado through droams, generally with
tho aid of tho obviou s tu ?c'i:i) :ry of a
ghost. GJuor.il Slo3Ji tu nirdttotU that ,
being in pursuit of Thugs up the coun
try, his wife, one morning ur.:mtly on
treated hini to rooyi? tfeir tents from t <?<?
spot?a loyoly opening in n jungle?
where lh<?y had bCctf pit chad tho previ
ous evening. She said she had becu
haunted ;.i_^*s.t by tho sight of dead
men. Information, received during tho
day induced tho Gap era 1 to ord r dig
uing under the ground whereon they had
camped; and beneath Mrs. Slecman's .
tent wero found fourteen corpses, victims
of the Thugs. It is easily conceivable
that the foul otlot of death Suggested to
the lady, iir the tfacdffSCious cerebration
of her dream, her horrible vision.
Drunk onncss is u condition in which
the- ouusnnius seif is more or less com
pletely obfuscated. I'u't iu which u'tfeou
scious corcbrniian goes nu for a long
time. Tho proverbial itnpunity with
Which drunken inctl fjll without hurt
ing Lhomseleea cm un|y bo attributed to
tho fact tha' the conscious will does not
interfere with tho unconscious iustinct
rtf falling on the parts of tho body leaat
liable to injury. The same impunity ia
enjoyed by persons not .intoxicated, who
at tho moment of an accident do not
exert any violation in dclermiug which
way they shall strike tho ground. All
the ludicrous i lories of tho abeeaco of
u*i?4 Ol' t'.pvv Uj*41 nr.*? nbrlously? he ex
i plained by supposing that their uocou
scious tcrcbraiion is blindly fumbiiog
to perform tasks needing conscious di
rection. And be it remembered that
the bro*orb"tn vino vcrilas" is hero in
I exact harmony with oar theory. Tho
drunken man unconsciously blurts ont
tht! triitli, his muddled braiii being un
equal to the task of inventing a plausi
ble falsehood. The delWous fan of
Sbcridno, funnel under a tree, and tell
ing tho policeman that he was "Wil-Wil
YV ?ber force," reveals at once that the
wag, if a little exalted, was by no means
realty drttuk. % Stfoh a Joke couid hardly
have occurred to an unconscious brain,
even one so well accustomed to the pro
duction of humor. As in dreams, in
toxication never brings new element!! of
nature iuto play, b?t o?ly abnormally
excites latent one:*. It id otilj a Porson
who, when ?r?rik, Solemnly curses the
"aggravating properties of inanimate
matter," or when he can not fit his latch
key is heard muttering, "D?n the ?a
turc of .kings!" A noble miser of tho
last century revealed his true character
and also the state of h? purse whenever
he was fuddled by murmuring softly to
himself, "I'm very rich! I'm very
rich ?" In sober moments he complain
ed continually of his limited means. In
tho same wny it is tho brutal laborer
who in his besotted state thrashes his
horso nnd kicks hi* wife: A dftftiknn
woman, on the contrary, unless an ha
