Note 130 — Chapter VII · PHANTASMS OF THE DEAD

Some word is much needed to express communications between one state and another, e.g. between the somnambulic and the waking state, or, in hypnotism, the cataleptic and the somnambulic, etc. The word "methectic" (μεθεκτὁς) seems to me the most suitable, especially since μἑθεξις happens to be the word used by Plato (Parm. 132 D.) for participation between ideas and concrete objects. Or the word "inter-state" might be pressed into this new duty.
