Sleep Walking and Moon Walking: A Medico-Literary Study

Written in the early 20th century, 'Sleep Walking and Moon Walking: A Medico-Literary Study' by J. Sadger is a psychoanalytical exploration of sleepwalking, its connection to dreams, sexuality, and the effects of moonlight. The study examines medical cases and literary references, including Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth, to illustrate how sleepwalking reflects repressed desires and unconscious mind workings. Sadger argues for a psychoanalytic approach to understand sleepwalking as a complex behavior often linked to childhood experiences and familial dynamics.
