Deep Transformation in the Gifted Dream

Report Upon Deep Transformations in the Gifted* Dream

Many novel and interesting questions inhabit this zone.

The floor of this area is fertile; it is, in fact, composed entirely of the remains

of thoughts and experiences now living on its surface.

Possibilities are abundant

and comprise the *gift.

Stridulous Dreams

Convenience scholars tell readers that the phrase here, loss of voice, refers to an inability to express one's own thoughts, opinions, and imaginings (inability for whatever reason and however expressed).Stridulous dreams are harsh and grating.The writer is emphasizing the idea that this loss and these dreaming experiences affect different people differently.Source text: Hoarseness, Loss of voice, and Stridulous Breathing by Morell Mackenzie, 1868.

From Family Dreams

1890—From Family Dreams of Independent Sources

If an idea is the ancestor of the origin and use of the word family,

we must, it seems to me, account for the ancestor of the term called accident.

Our knowledge is at present limited, however,

it seems these two experiences may depart widely from a plan.

Mutual relationship must be regarded as a puzzle of life.

Bulletin 4 - Widespread Poisoning in Dreamers

This inconvenience writer warns against worry or anxiety, against an anticipatory narrative.

Bulletin 4

Poisoning in Dreamers

has been very widespread.

Dream Officers express the view

that a good many more cases will be seen.

An increase in delusions

was certified

to be due to severe exposure

to anticipatory narrative.

Inconvenience - Poisoning Dreamers #2

Poisoning Dreamers 2

Administer doubts

and increase the familiar to lull suspicion.

The principal effect is a wrong feeling

so the mind's familiarity may soothe.

Disease-production is apparent soon after infection

and exceptional opportunities

for every variety of greater mischief

become possible after that.
