In this case of thought-transference, I am inclined to the opinion
that the father’s mind influenced that of the boy, the son being the
more sensitive of the two. Mr. Cox dreamt an ordinary but pretty vivid
dream, which aroused from its nature vivid and intense anxiety on
his part. A similar train of thought was awakened in the child. If
thought-transference occurs in waking life, why not in sleep, when,
as abundant telepathic instances testify, the phenomenon is of most
frequent occurrence.
THOUGHT-TRANSFERENCE AT SEA.
The percipient was Captain G. A. Johnson, of the schooner “Augusta
H. Johnson.” He had sailed from Quero for home. On the voyage he
encountered a terrible hurricane. On the second day he saw a disabled
brig, and near by a barque. He was anxious to reach home, and, thinking
the barque would assist the brig, continued on.
But the impression came that he must turn back and board the brig. He
could not shake it off, and at last he, with four men, boarded the brig
in a dory. He found her deserted, and made sail in her. After a time
they saw an object ahead, appearing like a man on a cake of ice. The
dory was again manned, and set to the rescue. It proved to be the mate
of the barque “Leawood” clinging to the bottom of an overturned boat,
which, being white, appeared in the distance as ice.
The captain’s sensitiveness may have been aroused by the exhaustion of
so much wakefulness and care during the length of the storm, the sight
of the derelict and deserted brig; at the same time the premonitions
were opposed to his own desire and anxiety to get home.
THOUGHT-TRANSFERENCE FROM THE DYING TO THE LIVING IN DREAM.
The following, by E. Ede, M.D., of Guilford (J.S.P.R., July, 1882):--
“Lady G. and her sister had been spending the evening with their
mother, who was in her usual health and spirits when they left her.
In the middle of the night the sister awoke in a fright, and said to
her husband, ‘I must go to my mother at once; do order the carriage.
I am sure she is ill.’ The husband, after trying in vain to convince
his wife that it was only a fancy, ordered the carriage. As she was
approaching the house, where two roads met, she saw lady G.’s carriage.
When they met, each asked the other why she was there. The same reply
was made by both--‘I could not sleep, feeling sure my mother was ill,
and so I came to see.’ As they came in sight, they saw their mother’s
confidential maid at the door, who told them when they arrived that
their mother had taken suddenly ill, and was dying, and had expressed
an earnest wish to see her daughters.”
The percipients having been so lately in company and sympathy with
their mother possibly rendered them more susceptible to her influence.
