Thread: Frederick van Eeden

Been here for two days and my explorer bookmarks are already in need of being organized again.

So he states near the top of his study that it's only a preliminary effort, something to keep people tided over till he completes a much more extensive study in future years... I'm guessing from the time line that this fellow probably isn't with us anymore, so did that become the extent of his work? Or is there more history to him than meets the eye...

I'm just reading it all now, it's a lot to try and take in and post an educated response on just yet. But I'm just a post whore, being new and all, and it's the only way I can have more opportunities to post pictures of that banana dude.

Well, friend, that's all the info I've come across on him. Other than basic
Biography type stuff. I believe he passed on in the 1920's or 30's sometime.
I could be wrong on that, but that's what I seem to remember. Ah yes,
I just looked it up and his bio says 1860-1932. He was not regarded highly
in the scientific community and thus became known historically more as a
poet/novelist/essayist. That last link is the "more developed" work he was
referring to. It came out more as a novel than a scientific study because no
one in the scientific community at the time would accept his first work. In fact,
no one even believed he actually had lucid dreams. schmucks. haha. LaBerge
sure proved them wrong, huh? And yet many in the scientific realm today still
don't regard LaBerge's work as proof that lucid dreams actually exist. I think
they're just jealous.
If they'd had these types of dreams, I'm sure they'd jump on the bandwagon in
and instant and be at least as happy as this guy:

just wanted to up-date this post so i can read it when i get time.....hope you guys dont mind me bringing it back to life, just be hard to find it again when i log-on tomorrow.
