Summary "Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 57, No. 353, March 1845" is a literary periodical published during the mid-19th century. This collection features a variety of writings, including essays, poems, and critical commentary, reflecting the cultural and intellectual life of the time. Notable contents include a sequel to "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater" titled "Susperia de Profundis," showcasing the intricate relationship between dreaming, opium use, and personal reflection, along with an account of an Englishwoman's experiences in Egypt. The opening portion presents an introductory notice to the essay "Suspiria de Profundis," where the author delves into themes of dreaming and the complexities of human experience, particularly in relation to opium. The text explores how constant social engagement diminishes one's capacity to dream profoundly, contrasting this with the need for solitude to foster deeper thoughts and emotional insights. The narrative hints at the author's own struggles with opium addiction and its profound impact on his dreams, as well as the eventual downfall that such excess may yield. Through these reflections, the work sets the stage for a rich exploration of consciousness, personal history, and the interplay between various states of awareness.
