Account of several significant experiences in the
author's life. His major hypotheses are (a) thoughts are
power, (b) biomagnetic or telekinetic powers can be made
useful, (c) parapsychical and paraphysical abilities are a
necessary counterbalance to the creations of technology,
and (d) apports are a special problem. The apport of
eyeglasses, which the author witnessed during a stance
with Einar Nielsen, was not authentic. - A.[.

When he was in a hospital's intensive care unit, after
a car crash, the author gave a command to his heart to
beat faster and irregularly. His EKG tracing acquired the
characteristic of a heart infarct condition, frightening his
doctor. The author gave a command to his heart to return
to a normal condition, and the EKG tracings became nor-
mal. - A.I.
03005. The lucid dream. Grenzgebiete der Wissenschaft,
1987, 36(2), 173-177.
Lucid dreaming is a term created by Frederick van
Eeden in 1913. In lucid dreaming the dreamer (a) knows
that he or she is dreaming; (b) experiences a doubling of
consciousness: he or she is aware of the surroundings and
of participation in the dream action; (c) is able to in-
fluence the dream action by volition. Tart's high dream,
false awakening, conditions favoring the occurrence, and a
better remembrance of the lucid dream are discussed.
There are 2 types of lucid dreamers: (a) the fearful, un-
stable, complicated, mostly younger people, and (b) the
self-confident, open, liberal, mostly older people. Creative
people, but also those who suffer from migraines, tend to
have more lucid dreams. These can be induced by
LaBerge's MILD technique, Sparrows' dream reexperiencing,
posthypnotic suggestion, presentation of prearranged signal,
and clectrostimulation of the median nerve. The merit of
the lucid dream is that it enables the dreamer to ex-
perience more freedom and happiness. - A.I.

03007. Bauer, Eberhard (Ed.). A bibliography of the
periodical literature held by the special library on
"Parapsychology/Border Areas of Psychology."
Zeitschrift fur Parapsychologie and Grenzgebiete der
Psychologie, 1987, 29(2/3), 113-240.
This complete double issue contains an exhaustive
bibliography (with detailed bibliographic information) of
the periodical literature on parapsychology and related
topics held by Hans Bender's Institute for Parapsychology
and Border Areas of Psychology. In an introduction, the
editor briefly summarizes the sociological situation of con-
temporary parapsychology, and he emphasizes the value the
periodical literature has for a field as controversial as
parapsychology. The bibliography itself (pp. 125-240)
covers the complete periodical holdings (549 different peri-
odicals) of the Institute's library. The library contains
very old periodicals from parapsychology's prescientific era
(e.g., Justinus Kerner's Bllttter aus Prevorst, 1831-1839), but
also those that have been established only very recently
(such as the Journal of Scientific Exploration). Forty-
three percent (235) of the periodicals are in German; other
languages represented are English (219 periodicals; 40%),
French (53; 10%), Italian (23; 4%), Spanish (13; 2%), Dutch
(7; 1%), Norwegian (2; 0.4%), and Greek, Swedish, Por-
tuguese, and Danish (1 each, 0.2%) Of the 549 periodicals
kept by the Institute's library, 333 are not available
anywhere else. - G.H.

This survey of classical astrology is in three parts:
(a) a summary of its rich and eventful history from the
Babylonians to the Renaissance; (b) the methods of calcula-
tion, which remained the same throughout the period,
based on the planets, the zodiac, and the "twelve houses";
(c) an analysis of astrological thought, which is quite dif-
ferent from any modern approach. It provided a rigid in-
terpretation of the universe and it granted comfort and
security. It presents a curious combination of religion and
science: the physics is the one forwarded by the Stoics,
with an equal balance of the four elements, and the
microcosmic economy with the soul representing the macro-
cosmic one; but such a determinism is in contradiction with
the Stoics' sense of responsibility which presupposes free
will. - DA
