TY - JOUR PY - 1908// TI - Notes on a case of spontaneous somnambulism JO - Journal of abnormal psychology (1906) A1 - Lloyd, Warren E. SP - 239 EP - 259 VL - 2 IS - 6 N2 - Reports a case of spontaneous somnambulism in which the patient reached a condition ordinarily not distinguishable from waking life. The reported case is of a young man, in his senior year at college, who is subject to passing frequently into secondary states in which he performs all the acts of normal life but concerning which there is no memory when he wakes. In the secondary states however, he had full memory of his waking life. Discusses: (1) preliminary items regarding the case, (2) the stages of aggravated somnambulism, (3) disturbances of ordinary life caused by the alternating states, and (4) exalted sensibilities and histrionic skills in the somnambulic state. Also, describes the effect of hypnotic suggestions on this patient. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
