86:4.2 The [[dream]] [[origin]] of the [[belief]] in a [[future]] [[existence]] [[explains]] the [[tendency]] always to [[imagine]] [[unseen]] things in the terms of [[things]] seen. And presently this new [[dream]]-[[ghost]]-[[Afterlife|future-life]] [[concept]] began effectively to antidote the [[death]] [[fear]] associated with the [[biologic]] [[instinct]] of self-preservation.

86:4.3 Early man was also much concerned about his [[breath]], especially in cold climates, where it appeared as a [[cloud]] when exhaled. The breath of life was regarded as the one [[phenomenon]] which differentiated the living and the [[dead]]. He knew the breath could leave the [[body]], and his [[dreams]] of doing all sorts of [[queer]] [[things]] while asleep convinced him that there was something immaterial about a [[human being]]. The most [[primitive]] [[idea]] of the human [[soul]], the [[ghost]], was derived from the [[breath]]-[[dream]] [[idea]]-[[system]].

86:4.4 [[Eventually]] the savage conceived of himself as a double—[[body]] and [[breath]]. The breath minus the body equaled a [[spirit]], a [[ghost]]. While having a very definite [[human]] [[origin]], [[ghosts]], or spirits, were regarded as [[superhuman]]. And this [[belief]] in the [[existence]] of disembodied spirits seemed to explain the occurrence of the unusual, the extraordinary, the infrequent, and the inexplicable.
