If they have mental images in sleep, can we doubt that waking, also, they picture things before their mind's eyes, and see them much as we do too vaguely indeed to admit of our thinking that we actually see the objects themselves, but definitely enough for us to be able to recognise the idea or object of which we are thinking, and to connect it with any other idea, object, or sign that we may think appropriate?

Mahomet went immediately up into the mountain, and there Gabriel appeared to him waking and said: "Thou art God's Prophet, and I am Gabriel." The archangel vanished, but Mahomet remained rooted to the spot, until Khadijah's messengers found him and brought him to her.

"We have no bad conscience," said Elizabeth, gently, "but you know that if we are awakened from sleep we cry out easily, and we might be thinking that some one was waking us to bring us happy tidings." "I hope so," cried Tison, with a scornful laugh, "Happy news for you! that means unhappy and sad news for France and for the French people. No, thank God!

The mother, sometimes, on suddenly waking from a doze behind the counter and finding Pascualet in front of her, would start with violent surprise. Pascualo, for all the world! Just as she had known him as a boy, before their marriage, when he was "cat" on a fishing vessel!

Of furniture, besides Jack's chair, there was only what they had found in the shack, a rough, home-made bed and a table. Two shared the bed, and the rest lay on the floor. They had some boxes for seats. Something more than discontent ailed the four waking men. Deep in each pair of guarded eyes lurked a strange uneasiness.

But he was there, sitting on the steps beside Phoebe, and when the gate swung open, they did not hear.

Everidge through the years which followed her graduation. She had been constantly busy and her aunt's hands had been full, for her husband's health had failed utterly and he demanded continual care. Now her long, beautiful ministry was over, for Horace Everidge, serenely selfish to the last, had fallen into the slumber which knows no earthly waking, and Aunt Marthe was free.

On this occasion there was a good reason for waking me, as news had just come in that To’ Mûda Long had killed Bâyan the Paroquet, and as this had occurred in the compound of the Râja, with whom I had formerly travelled, and as he and the Sultân were on bad terms, there was room for fear that serious political complications would ensue.

"I could make one full of words, if not of thought; but come, the night is passing, we shall scarce have an hour's rest before sunrise." "Indeed, I think we are in a fair way to see its early brightness." To their dreams and life we will leave them awhile, knowing that to such hearts will ever come peace, whether sleeping or waking.

He was about to execute a master-stroke. He is going to accomplish a great move. They are wholly absorbed in Him, this Moses, and Elijah, and in this great move of His for men. Meanwhile these men lying on the ground are waking up and rubbing their eyes. The only jarring note is a human note. John and James look with awe, reverent awe.
