The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
102
Goethe
has
an
obiter
dictum
on
the
possibility
of
intercommunion
without
the
aid
of
the
ordinary
senses,
between
the
souls
of
lovers.
Something
of
the
kind
is
indicated
in
anecdotes
of
dreams
dreamed
in
common
by
husband
and
wife,
but,
in
such
cases,
it
may
be
urged
that
the
same
circumstance,
or
the
same
noise
or
other
disturbing
cause,
may
beget
the
same
dream
in
both.
A
better
instance
is
THE
VISION
OF
THE
BRIDE
Colonel
Meadows
Taylor
writes,
in
The
Story
of
my
Life
(vol.
ii.,
p.
32):
"The
determination
(to
live
unmarried)
was
the
result
of
a
very
curious
and
strange
incident
that
befel
me
during
one
of
my
marches
to
Hyderabad.
I
have
never
forgotten
it,
and
it
returns
to
this
day
to
my
memory
with
a
strangely
vivid
effect
that
I
can
neither
repel
nor
explain.
I
purposely
withhold
the
date
of
the
year.
In
my
very
early
life
I
had
been
deeply
and
devotedly
attached
to
one
in
England,
and
only
relinquished
the
hope
of
one
day
winning
her
when
the
terrible
order
came
out
that
no
furlough
to
Europe
would
be
granted.
