The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
104
If
thinking
of
friends
and
lovers,
lost
or
dead,
could
bring
their
forms
and
voices
before
the
eye
and
ear
of
flesh,
there
would
be
a
world
of
hallucinations
around
us.
"But
it
wants
heaven-sent
moments
for
this
skill,"
and
few
bridal
nights
send
a
vision
and
a
voice
to
the
bed
of
a
wakeful
lover
far
away.
Stories
of
this
kind,
appearances
of
the
living
or
dying
really
at
a
distance,
might
be
multiplied
to
any
extent.
They
are
all
capable
of
explanation,
if
we
admit
the
theory
of
telepathy,
of
a
message
sent
by
an
unknown
process
from
one
living
man's
mind
to
another.
Where
more
than
one
person
shares
the
vision,
we
may
suppose
that
the
influence
comes
directly
from
A
to
B,
C
and
D,
or
comes
from
A
to
B,
and
is
by
him
unconsciously
"wired"
on
to
B
and
C,
or
is
"suggested"
to
them
by
B's
conduct
or
words.
In
that
case
animals
may
be
equally
affected,
thus,
if
B
seems
alarmed,
that
may
frighten
his
dog,
or
the
alarm
of
a
dog,
caused
by
some
noise
or
smell,
heard
or
smelt
by
him,
may
frighten
B,
C
and
D,
and
make
one
or
all
of
them
see
a
ghost.
