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.
