…? In that state I am equally confident that my normal consciousness is invalid. But as my dreams occupy a relatively small portion of my time, and as the law of causa- tion seems suspended, and as their vividness is less than that of normal consciousness, and above all, as in the great majority of cases I can show a cause, dating from my waking hours, for the dream, I have four strong reasons (the first explanatory to some extent of my reasons for accepting the others) for concluding that the dream is fictitious. But what of the ‘‘ dreamless” s…

And all the spirit passing down Involves my heart with gray: So the pale stars of even crown The glow of twilight ; dip and drown The last despairs of day.

It has often been pointed out how strange are the prophecies made from time to time by writers of what purports to be merely fiction. Of all the remarkable tales with which Mr. R. Kipling has delighted the world, none is more striking than that of McIntosh Jellaludin? and his mysterious manuscript. And now, only a few years after reading that incredible tale, I myself, at Yoko- Hama, come across a series of circum- stances wonderfully analogous. But I will truthfully set down thi…
