The differences are endless. Bome notion, however small, of tie past, and some conception, however confused, of the future. As I greet my old aehool-maater in my dreams, so, presumably, does a frog greet a snake or a rival. If a fly that he was about to eat were turned into a snake about to eat him, he would feel alarm doubtless, but probably no surprise. It is true, of course, that I really got my knowledge of my school-master through experience, and that in this I differ from the frog, who ge...ts his knowledge of the snake through instinct. But in my dreams my acquired knowledge seems to take on the type of instinct. It appears innate, as if the physical characters in my brain, with which it is correlated, had developed otherwise than through use and experience ; as if they had developed as Adam's navel is said by theologians to have developed.
