This paper tries to distinguish between the symptoms of Strindberg's paranoid psychosis and 'clairpsychic' phenomena. Strindberg believed in telepathic dreams and gave many examples of them in his autobiographical works and in his fictional writings. Feelings of guilt and expectations of punishment pervade his occult thinking. Telepathic murder through the wish is one of his recurring ideas.

The author presents interesting quotations from Strindberg and descriptions of his psychotic 'clairpsychic' experiences; he does not attempt an analysis or deeper explanation of the phenomena. He concludes by saying, 'If there be individuals who can perceive phenomena beyond the orthodox range of sensitivity, August Strindberg surely was the man ideally adapted by nature for the reception of such parapsychic vibrations'.
