It is also certain that similar, but yet more vivid, false experiences may be produced, at the word of the hypnotiser, in persons under the hypnotic sleep. A hypnotised man will take water for wine, and get drunk on it. Now, the ghostly is nothing but the experience, when men are awake, or apparently awake, of the every-night phenomena of dreaming.
Benjamin saw at once that he was talking with a croaker and treated him accordingly. There was an organization of business men in Philadelphia at that time, known as the "Merchants' Every-Night Club," answering, perhaps, to a "Board of Trade" of our day. Its purpose was to advance the business interests of the town. A member raised the question, "Can another printing house prosper in town?"
The girl walked with her face high, staring at the loftily columned recesses with the bay-trees set between the huge square pillars, and above all the feigned blue sky and the monsters of the zodiac in powdered gold. Kedzie could hardly breathe it was so beautiful, so much superior to the plain every-night sky she was used to, with stars of tin instead of gold like these.
For, if we think for a moment, the alleged events of ghostdom apparitions of all sorts are precisely identical with the every-night phenomena of dreaming, except for the avowed element of sleep in dreams. In dreams, time and space are annihilated, and two severed lovers may be made happy. All these things, except the last, are familiar to everybody who dreams.
Even some of his hours that ought to have been devoted to sleep were spent in his office at hard work. Mention being made of the new printing-house at the "Merchants' Every-night Club," "It will prove a failure," said one. "Of course it will," added another. "Two such young fellows cannot get business enough to support them, with two established printers here." This was the general opinion.
"I am the Woman of Morocco!" But her head fell on the window-sill of the carriage. Ambroise lifted the weary head on his shoulder. His eyes were so dry that they seemed thirsty. The old glamour gripped him. The cabman held the reins and waited; it was an every-night occurrence for him.
The defect of the method is that easy stories are dull reading. But the student can "skip". We begin with common every-night dreams. Sleeping is as natural as waking; dreams are nearly as frequent as every-day sensations, thoughts, and emotions. But dreams, being familiar, are credible; it is admitted that people do dream; we reach the less credible as we advance to the less familiar.
