Democritus thus expoundeth those dreams,1 which resemble things coming by chance, and far distant: There are always (saith he) defluctions from things themselves, which are carried to the bodies of those that sleep, and do affect them with the quality and similitude which they bring with them. And the same he affirmeth to be for two causes more felt sleeping then waking. First, because the air by night is easier moved, as we see done, when the water is smitten with a little stone, very many circles are with that stroke multiplied and driven a great way, unless some other contrary motion resist it. But in the night the air is more quiet, then in the day time, because it is not driven into sundry parts by the course of creatures which move themselves. An other cause is, because they which sleep do easier receive light movings. And lastly the same author also referreth not the causes of dreams to god.2
Democritus thus expoundeth those dreames,1 which resemble thinges cōming by chaunce, and farre distante: There are alwayes (saythe he) defluctions from things themselues, which ar caried to the bodies of those that slepe, and do affect them with the quality and symilitude which they bring with them. And ye same he affirmeth to be for two causes more felt sleping then waking. First, bicause ye ayre by night is easlyer moued, as we see done, when the water is smitten with a little stone, very many circles ar with that stroke multiplied and driuē a great way, vnlesse some other contrary motion resiste it. But in the nighte the ayre is more quiet, then in the day time, bycause it is not driuen into sundry parts by the course of creaturs which moue themselfes. An other cause is, bicause they which slepe do easlier receaue light mouings. And lastly the same author also referreth not the causes of dreames to god.2
