Dreams and how to guide them

by Léon d'Hervey de Saint Denys

This version has been based upon the 1964-Tchou Edition. The Appendix 'A dream under the influence of hasjiesh' from the orginal 1867-edition, was not included in the Tchou-version, so consequently also not in this version. Also, this 'translation' should not be considered as a translation. Complete parts (e.g. part 2 of the original) are not in this version, and in fact, it is a very abbreviated version. For more information and the first English translation of the missing appendix, see: 'An Historical View of Dreams and the Ways to Direct Them;Practical Observations by Marie-Jean-Léon-Lecoq, le Marquis d'Hervey-Saint-Denys' by C.M. den Blanken & E.J.G.Meijer. Appeared in:Lucidity Letter,7(2)67-78;1988. Edited by Jayne Gackenbach for Lucidity Letter. Revised Edition in:Lucidity,10(1&2)311-322;1991. Edited by Elinor Gebremedhin for Lucidity.
