[Footnote 275: This aspect of dreaming has been set forth by Bergson
(_Revue Philosophique_, December 1908, p. 574). 'The dream state,' he
remarks, 'is the substratum of our normal state. Nothing is added in
waking life; on the contrary, waking life is obtained by the limitation,
concentration, and tension of that diffuse psychological life which is the
life of dreaming. The perception and the memory which we find in dreaming
are, in a sense, more natural than those of waking life: consciousness is
then amused in perceiving for the sake of perceiving, and in remembering
for the sake of remembering, without care for life, that is to say for
the accomplishment of actions. To be awake is to eliminate, to choose, to
concentrate the totality of the diffused life of dreaming to a point, to a
practical problem. To be awake is to will; cease to will, detach yourself
from life, become disinterested: in so doing you pass from the waking ego
to the dreaming ego, which is less _tense_, but more _extended_ than the
other.']
