In considering the origin of attack, two moments, viz. irruption of hypnosis, and the psychic stimulation, must be taken into account--In susceptible subjects relatively small stimuli suffice to bring about somnambulism--Our case approaches to hysterical lethargy--The automatisms transform lethargy into hypnosis--Her ego-consciousness is identical in all states--Secondary somnambulic personalities split off from the primary unconscious personality--All group themselves under two types, the gay-hilarious, and serio-religious--The automatic speaking occurs--This facilitates the study of the subconscious personalities--Their share of the consciousness--The irruption of the hypnosis is complicated by an hysterical attack--The automatism arising in the motor area plays the part of hypnotist--When the hypnotism flows over into the visual sphere the hysterical attack occurs--Grandfathers I. and II.--Hysterical dissociations belong to the superficial layers of the ego-complex--There are layers beyond the reach of dissociation--Effect of the hysterical attack.
