DREAMS AND DREAMERS.
By ELBERT HUBBARD.
Then Is an Idea In the minds of sim
ple people that insanity Is always ac
companied by violence, ravines and
uncouth and dangerous conduct.
Dreams are a temporary Insanity—
reason sleeps and the mind roams the
universe, uncurbed and wildly free. On
awakening, for an Instant, we may not
know where we are, and all things are
In disorder; but gradually time, loca
tion, else and correspondences find
their proper place and we are awake.
Should, however, the dreams of the
night continue during the day, when
we are awake and moving about, we
would say the man was Insane. Swe
denborg could become oblivious to
every external thing and dream at
dictated the dreams, at least the sub
ject was of his own volltlpn. If It was
necessary to travel or transact busi
ness, the dreams were postponed and
he lived right here on earth, a man of
good Judgment, safe reason and proper
conduct
Unsoundness of mind Is not neces
sarily folly. Acroee the murky clouds
of madness shoots and gleams at times
the deepest Insight Into the heart of
things. And the fact that Sweden
In rejecting all he said and taught
.as false and faulty. He was always
well able to take care of himself and to
manage hta affairs successfully, even to
printing the books that contain the
record of his ravings. Follow closely
the lives of great Inventors, discover
ers, poets and artists, and It will be
found that the world Is debtor to so-
called mad men for many of Its richest
gifts. Few, Indeed, are they who can
burst the bonds of custom and condt
tlon, sail out across the unknown seat
and bring us records of the Enchanted
Isles.
And who shall say where originality
ends and Insanity begins? Sweden
borg himself attributed hla remarkable
faculties to the development of a sixth
sense, and Intimates that In time all
men will be so equipped. The late Dr.
Richard Jd. Bucks, It will be remem
bered, wrote a book called ‘‘Cosmic
Consciousness," wherein he argued
strongly that a sixth sense was not
only probable, but had actually been
evolved In various Instances.
Death Is as natural as life, and poe-
plan of nature for sending a
searchlight flash Into the darkness of
futurity. Insane or not, thinking men
everywhere agree that Swedenborg
blessed and benefited the race—prepar
ing the way for the thinkers and the
doers who should come after him.
