      The author studies Lorentzian pr-wave manifold of dimension four and discussed the Christoffel symbols, the Levi-Civita connection and the curvature tensor on it. He also shows that a pr-wave manifold of dimension four is an Einstein-like manifold. Furthermore, conformal deformations of Lorentzian manifolds of dimension four are discussed with indecomposable and non-irreducible holonomy. Finally, two basic properties of the tangent bundle namely, complementary orthogonal totally geodesic and holonomy invariant foliations are investigated.
