The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang

Now,
the
ghostly
is
nothing
but
the
experience,
when
men
are
awake,
or
apparently
awake,
of
the
every-night
phenomena
of
dreaming.
The
vision
of
the
absent
seen
by
a
waking,
or
apparently
waking,
man
is
called
"a
wraith";
the
waking,
or
apparently
waking,
vision
of
the
dead
is
called
"a
ghost".
Yet,
as
St.
Augustine
says,
the
absent
man,
or
the
dead
man,
may
know
no
more
of
the
vision,
and
may
have
no
more
to
do
with
causing
it,
than
have
the
absent
or
the
dead
whom
we
are
perfectly
accustomed
to
see
in
our
dreams.
Moreover,
the
comparatively
rare
cases
in
which
two
or
more
waking
people
are
alleged
to
have
seen
the
same
"ghost,"
simultaneously
or
in
succession,
have
their
parallel
in
sleep,
where
two
or
more
persons
simultaneously
dream
the
same
dream.
Of
this
curious
fact
let
us
give
one
example:
the
names
only
are
altered.
