d
asleep, unable, in fact, to feel certain whether she was awake or
asleep, beheld her late grandmother. The old lady wept as she sat
by the bedside.

'Why do you weep, grandmamma, are you not happy where you are?'
asked the girl.

'Yes, I am happy, but I am weeping for your mother.'

'Is she going to die?'

'No, but she is going to lose you.'

'Am _I_ going to die, grandmamma?'

'Yes, my dear.'

'Soon?'

'Yes, my dear, very soon.'

The young lady, with great courage, concealed her dream from her
mother, but confided it to a brother. She did her best to be good
while she was on earth, where she is still, after an interval of
many years.

Except for the conclusion, and the absence of a mystic bright light
in the bedroom, this case exactly answers to that of Miss Lee, in
1662. Dr. Hibbert would have liked this example.

2. (B) A lady, staying with a friend, observed that one morning
she was much depressed. The friend confided to her that, in the
past night, she had seen her brother, dripping wet. He told her
that he had been drowned by the upsetting of a boat, which was
attached by a rope to a ship. At this time, he was on his way home
from Australia. The dream, or vision, was recorded in writing.
When next the first lady met her friend, she was entertaining her
brother at luncheon. He had never even been in a boat dragged
behind a ship, and was perfectly safe.

3. (B) A lady, residing at a distance from Oxford wrote to tell
her son, who was at Merton College, that he had just entered her
room and vanished. Was he well? Yes, he was perfectly well, and
bowling for the College Eleven.

4. (B) A lady in bed saw her absent husband. He announced his
death by cholera, and gave her his blessing, she, of course, was
very anxious and miserable, but the vision was a lying vision. The
husband was perfectly well.

In all these four cases, anxiety was caused by the vision, and in
three at least, action was taken, the vision was recorded orally, or
in writing. In the following set, the visions were waking
hallucinations of sane persons never in any other instance
hallucinated.

5. (A) A person of distinction, walking in a certain Cambridge
quadrangle, met a very well-known clergyman. The former held out
his hand, but there was before him only open space. No feeling of
excitement or anxiety followed.
