Thoughts on dreaming

Wherein the notion of the sensory, and the opinion that it is shut up from the inspection of the soul in sleep, and that spirits supply us with all our dreams, are examined by revelation and reason. Occasioned by an essay on the phenomenon of dreaming, in a book, entitled, An enquiry into the nature of the human soul; wherein the immateriality of the soul is evinced from the principles of reason and philosophy.
