Let us inquire into the way in which each kind of order is brought about.
_Lyrical Element in Dreams._ The only unity that belongs to many of our dreams is a subjective emotional unity.

This is the basis of harmony in lyrical poetry, where the succession of images turns mainly on their emotional colouring.
Thus, the images that float before the mind of the Poet Laureate, in his _In Memoriam_, clearly have their link of connection in their common emotional tone, rather than in any logical continuity.

Dreaming has been likened to poetic composition, and certainly many of our dreams are built upon a groundwork of lyrical feeling.

They might be marked off, perhaps, as our lyrical dreams.
The way in which this emotional force acts in these cases has already been hinted at.

We have seen that the analogy of feeling is a common link between dream-images.
