Clinical Studies in Pathological Dreaming

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

In the year 1896 I directed the attention of my fellow specialists, in the course of details of observations relating to two women, to the subject of pathological dreaming, till now only slightly investigated, and showed how intense hysterical dreaming states had been developed from previous reveries. The literature which has appeared since then contains but few references to this matter.

From a reference quoted by him I conclude that Ray has also gone into this question.Google Scholar
