PROLOGUE.

Upon an evening after a long and tiring trek, I arrived at Dreamdorp.

The local atmosphere, combined with a heavy meal, are responsible for

the following nightmare, consisting of a series of dreams. To make the

sequence of the whole intelligible, it is necessary to explain that,

though the scene of each vision was the same, yet by some curious

mental process I had no recollection of the place whatsoever. In each

dream the locality was totally new to me, and I had an entirely fresh

detachment. Thus I had not the great advantage of working over

familiar ground. One thing, and one only, was carried on from dream to

dream, and that was the vivid recollection of the general lessons

previously learnt. These finally produced success.

The whole series of dreams, however, remained in my memory as a

connected whole when I awoke.
