[Footnote 28: Similarly, under chloroform, Elmer Jones found that vision is at first stimulated.] [Footnote 29: G. H. Savage, 'Dreams: Normal and Morbid,' _St. Thomas's Hospital Gazette_, February 1908.] [Footnote 30: _British Medical Journal_, 11th May 1907. The actual hallucinations of the insane are usually coloured normally. Head, however, finds (_Brain_, 1901, p. 353) that the waking visual hallucinations sometimes associated with visceral disease are always white, black, or grey, and never coloured or even tinted.] [Footnote 31: The transformation of birds into human beings seems peculiarly common in dreams. I have referred to this point elsewhere (_Studies in the Psychology of Sex_, vol. i. 3rd ed., p. 193). It is an interesting and doubtless significant fact that the same transformation is accepted in the myths of primitive peoples. Thus, according to H. H. Bancroft (_Native Races of the Pacific_, vol. i. p. 93), a pantomime dance of the Aleuts represents the transformation of a captive bird into a lovely woman who falls exhausted into the arms of the hunter.] [Footnote 32: It is noteworthy that this marked tendency in dreams to discover analogies, although doubtless a tendency of primitive thought, is also a progressive tendency. 'The conquests of science,' says Sageret ('L'Analogie Scientifique,' _Revue Philosophique_, January 1909), 'are the conquests of analogy.'] [Footnote 33: Maury, _Le Sommeil et les Rêves_, p. 115.] [Footnote 34: Kraepelin, 'Ueber Sprachstörungen im Träume,' _Psychologische Arbeiten_, Bd. v., 1906, pp. 1-104; cf. Lombard, 'Glossolalie,' _Archives de Psychologie_, July 1907.] [Footnote 35: This is confirmed by the fact that under chloroform anaesthesia hearing is the first sense to be lost and vision the last (Elmer Jones, 'The Waning of Consciousness under Chloroform,' _Psychological Review_, January 1909).] [Footnote 36: It may be recalled as not without significance that the formation of new words is fairly common among young children; see, _e.g._, an interesting correspondence in _Nature_, 26th March and 9th April 1891.] [Footnote 37: It can scarcely be derived from the unfamiliar word _chalizah_, the Hebrew name for the levirate.] [Footnote 38: Thus I have rarely ever attempted parody when awake, but once when at Montserrat, with thoughts far from humorous fields, I dreamed of making a parody (I am not quite clear of what) apparently suggested by the goose-pond in the cloisters of Barcelona Cathedral.] [Footnote 39: This point of view has been specially developed by Freud, _Der Witz und seine Beziehung zum Unbewussten_.] [Footnote 40: It may be noted that somewhat similar doggerel verse is sometimes made by the insane; see, _e.g._, _Journal of Mental Science_, April 1907, p. 284.] [Footnote 41: There was no known origin for this dream, and the word _bourdon_ had no conscious associations for my mind; I was not even definitely aware that it is used in a musical sense.] CHAPTER III
