wonder

[aka Wunder, miracle]

A wonder is an interference of god in worldly concerns.

The wonders occuring to Daniel Paul Schreber mainly cause his body to develop female genitalia, and thus prepare him for the procreation of a new human breed in order to restore the regular world order. Wonders are typically experienced as painful and/or displeasing. Wonders may also consist of the divine manipulation or alteration of inanimate objects, provided those objects are located in the close vicinity of Schreber.

The wonders experienced by Schreber include:

  • emasculation/development of female genitalia
  • muscle paralysis
  • convulsions
  • bone pain
  • involuntary eyelid closure
  • hyperventilation
  • spreading of sexual nerve receptors (Wollustnerven) over the entire skin surface
  • tooth pain
  • sudden appearance of wasps (even in cold climates)
  • sudden bursting of piano strings
