lucid sleep |
0.26 sec. |
|
lucid sleep, n an early nineteenth-century description for the state of hypnosis which was advanced as an alternative to the magnetism theories of Franz Mesmer. It proposed that no healing magnetic fluid is transmitted by the therapist, and that the patients created the state of trance themselves, which also accounted for differences in patient behavior during treatment. See also hypnosis. |
