and to account for many of its hitherto inexplicable phenomena. It may be that as the brain has two hemispheres, and consequently the mental faculties are double, one hemisphere of the brain sleeps while the other wakes. This certainly appears more probable than that some only of the faculties should be suspended while others are active. How the suspension of the activity of one of our two minds would be likely to affect mental action, so as to explain the phenomena of dream, is an inquiry too large to be entered upon here.

What, then, are the most remarkable features of dream?
Foremost of them is the continuous stream of ideas, by which term I here intend mental pictures of things that impress themselves on the mind through the senses. These occupy by far the greater portions of our dreams. They are not always images of particular objects, for often they are forms which the eye has never seen, but which, nevertheless, are constructed by putting together the mental images of objects that have been seen. Impressions conveyed by other senses than sight are often reproduced, such as sounds, scents, tastes, and past nerve pains and pleasures. Indeed, whatever has been at any time impressed upon the mind and become a memory, may be recalled in dream, either alone or in association with other memories.}}
