The Dream-God, or, A Singular Evolvement of Thought in Sleep
Cuningham, John
Dreams; Morphine
They once more essay the aerial passage of the Atlantic. At the
instance of the Spirit of Morphine, who suggested that they had
time for a swoop to south of the Equator, and for a view of the
constellation of the Southern Cross, the American, who affected
astronomy, readily assented. They whirl southward, see it, and repass
“the Line.” They enter the United States at Savannah, and soon reach
the abode of the sleeper in the upper part of South Carolina. His
spirit enters his chamber through the window and glides into his
body, when he experiences a sense of relief as to its safety, and of
satisfaction in his wondrous trip. He nestles in comfort of thought and
matter, and--AWAKES!
The day has dawned, and soon the rays of the rising sun greet his
mortal eyes. During that day he spoke of the dream, and was pale and
excited. This dream occurred in the early part of January, 1868, and
lasted between nine and ten hours.
FOOTNOTES:
[A] This sea was then unknown to the dreamer. His dream revealed to
him its existence. He thought it a delusion, until he heard of its
discovery.
[B] This refers to the once famous palace, built of blocks of ice, in
St. Petersburg.
