mercedo's Journal: Cases of Somnambulism

My former wife -married at my age 31 told me she used to have this practice in her younger days.

I believe this is a perfect example of symptom of schizophrenia.

Lady Godiva was well known for her bravity to show her nakedness in presence, but if she showed herself without her noticing -I mean she took off her clothing without consciousness.

Jykill and Hyde is another example, they didn't know one another but act as if they are different personel. -this is also another example of sleepwalking.

When I was very young -at age 10, I used to enjoy reading detective story in which Arsene Lupin series was one of my most favorites.

The title was 'Eight Bells' or something, about a woman who has got a somnabulism. She tried to kill Lupin by hatchet only found to fail, Lupin was wearing an iron coat inside his clothing.

I think all they are guilty. They have to be responsible for what they did.

Schizophrenia is called the "split brain" disorder not because there are actually more than one personality but because the brain does not function normally. Instead of separating the information into components for each section to process and then reintegrating it, the brain makes mistakes and overloads on information instead of filtering out the unimportant parts.
