Plato, Goethe, Shakespeare and Napoleon +assigned to certain dreams prophetic value. Joseph saw +eleven stars of the Zodiac bow to himself, the twelfth star. +The famine of Egypt was revealed by a vision of fat and lean cattle. +The parents of Christ were warned of the cruel edict of Herod, +and fled with the Divine Child into Egypt. + +Pilate's wife, through the influence of a dream, advised her husband +to have nothing to do with the conviction of Christ. But the gross +materialism of the day laughed at dreams, as it echoed the voice and +verdict of the multitude, ``Crucify the Spirit, but let the flesh live.'' +Barabbas, the robber, was set at liberty. + +The ultimatum of all human decrees and wisdom is to gratify +the passions of the flesh at the expense of the spirit. +The prophets and those who have stood nearest the fountain +of universal knowledge used dreams with more frequency than +any other mode of divination. + +Profane, as well as sacred, history is threaded with incidents +of dream prophecy. Ancient history relates that Gennadius +was convinced of the immortality of his soul by conversing +with an apparition in his dream. + +Through the dream of Cecilia Metella, the wife of a Consul, the Roman Senate +was induced to order the temple of Juno Sospita rebuilt. + +The Emperor Marcian dreamed he saw the bow of the Hunnish conqueror +break on the same night that Attila died. + +Plutarch relates how Augustus, while ill, through the dream +of a friend, was persuaded to leave his tent, which a few hours +after was captured by the enemy, and the bed whereon he had lain +was pierced with the enemies' swords. + +If Julius Caesar had been less incredulous about dreams he would +have listened to the warning which Calpurnia, his wife, +received in a dream. + +Croesus saw his son killed in a dream. + +Petrarch saw his beloved Laura, in a dream, on the day she died, +after which he wrote his beautiful poem, ``The Triumph of Death.'' + +Cicero relates the story of two traveling Arcadians who went to +different lodgings--one to an inn, and the other to a private house. +During the night the latter dreamed that his friend was begging for help. +The dreamer awoke; but, thinking the matter unworthy of notice, went to +sleep again. The second time he dreamed his friend appeared, saying it would +be too late, for he had already been murdered and his body hid in a cart, +under manure. The cart was afterward sought for and the body found. +Cicero also wrote, ``If the gods love men they will certainly disclose +their purposes to them in sleep.'' + +Chrysippus wrote a volume on dreams as divine portent. +He refers to the skilled interpretations of dreams as a true divination; +but adds that, like all other arts in which men have to proceed +on conjecture and on artificial rules, it is not infallible. + +Plato concurred in the general idea prevailing in his day, +that there were divine manifestations to the soul in sleep. +Condorcet thought and wrote with greater fluency in his dreams +than in waking life. + +Tartini, a distinguished violinist, composed his ``Devil's Sonata'' +under the inspiration of a dream. Coleridge, through dream influence, +composed his ``Kubla Khan.'' + +The writers of Greek and Latin classics relate many instances +of dream experiences. Homer accorded to some dreams divine origin. +During the third and fourth centuries, the supernatural origin +of dreams was so generally accepted that the fathers, relying upon +the classics and the Bible as authority, made this belief a doctrine +of the Christian Church. + +Synesius placed dreaming above all methods of divining the future; +he thought it the surest, and open to the poor and rich alike. + +Aristotle wrote: ``There is a divination concerning some things +in dreams not incredible.'' Camille Flammarion, in his great book +on ``Premonitory Dreams and Divination of the Future,'' says: +``I do not hesitate to affirm at the outset that occurrence of dreams +foretelling future events with accuracy must be accepted as certain.'' + +Joan of Arc predicted her death. + +Cazotte, the French philosopher and transcendentalist, warned Condorcet +against the manner of his death. + +People dream now, the same as they did in medieval and ancient times. + +The following excerpt from ``The Unknown,''[1] a recent book +by Flammarion, the French astronomer, supplemented with a few +of my own thoughts and collections, will answer the purposes +intended for this book. + + +[1] ``From `The Unknown.' Published by Harper & Brothers Copyright, +1900, by Camille Flammarion.'' + + +``We may see without eyes and hear without ears, not by unnatural excitement +of our sense of vision or of hearing, for these accounts prove the contrary, +but by some interior sense, psychic and mental. + +``The soul, by its interior vision, may see not only what is +passing at a great distance, but it may also know in advance +what is to happen in the future. The future exists potentially, +determined by causes which bring to pass successive events. + +``POSITIVE OBSERVATION PROVES THE EXISTENCE OF A PSYCHIC WORLD, +as real as the world known to our physical senses. + +``And now, because the soul acts at a distance by some power that belongs +to it, are we authorized to conclude that it exists as something real, +and that it is not the result of functions of the brain? + +``Does light really exist? + +``Does heat exist? + +``Does sound exist? + +``No. + +``They are only manifestations produced by movement. + +``What we call light is a sensation produced upon our optic nerve +by the vibrations of ether, comprising between 400 and 756 trillions +per second, undulations that are themselves very obscure. + +``What we call heat is a sensation produced by vibrations between 350 +and and{sic} 600 trillions. + +``The sun lights up space, as much at midnight as at midday. +Its temperature is nearly 270 degrees below zero. + +``What we call sound is a sensation produced upon our auditory nerve +by silent vibrations of the air, themselves comprising between 32,000 +and 36,000 a second. + + . . . . . . + + +``Very many scientific terms represent only results, not causes. +``The soul may be in the same case. + +``The observations given in this work, the sensations, the impressions, +the visions, things heard, etc., may indicate physical effects produced +without the brain. + +``Yes, no doubt, but it does not seem so. + +``Let us examine one instance. + +``Turn back to page 156.@@@ + +``A young woman, adored by her husband, dies at Moscow. Her father-in-law, +at Pulkowo, near St. Petersburg, saw her that same hour by his side. +She walked with him along the street; then she disappeared. +Surprised, startled, and terrified, he telegraphed to his son, +and learned both the sickness and the death of his daughter-in-law. + +``We are absolutely obliged to admit that SOMETHING emanated +from the dying woman and touched her father-in-law. This +_thing unknown_ may have been an ethereal movement, +as in the case of light, and may have been only an effect, +a product, a result; but this effect must have had a cause, +and this cause evidently proceeded from the woman who was dying. +Can the constitution of the brain explain this projection? +I do not think that any anatomist or physiologist will give +this question an affirmative answer. One feels that there is +a force unknown, proceeding, not from our physical organization, +but from that in us which can think. + +``Take another example (see page 57).@@@ + +``A lady in her own house hears a voice singing. +It is the voice of a friend now in a convent, and she faints, +because she is sure it is the voice of the dead. +At the same moment that friend does really die, twenty miles +away from her. + +``Does not this give us the impression that one soul holds +communication with another? + +``Here is another example (page 163):@@@ + +``The wife of a captain who has gone out to the Indian mutiny sees one night +her husband standing before her with his hands pressed to his breast, +and a look of suffering on his face. The agitation that she feels convinces +her that he is either killed or badly wounded. It was November 14th. +The War Office subsequently publishes his death as having taken place +on November 15th. She endeavors to have the true date ascertained. +The War Office was wrong. He died on the 14th. + +``A child six years old stops in the middle of his play and +cries out, frightened: ``Mamma, I have seen Mamma.'' At that +moment his mother was dying far away from him (page 124).@@@ + +``A young girl at a ball stops short in the middle of a dance and cries, +bursting into tears. `My father is dead; I have just seen him.' +At that moment her father died. She did not even know he was ill. + +``All these things present themselves to us as indicating +not physiological operations of one brain acting on another, +but psychic actions of spirit upon spirit. We feel that they +indicate to us some power unknown. + +``No doubt it is difficult to apportion what belongs to the spirit, +the soul, and what belongs to the brain. We can only let ourselves +be guided in our judgment and our appreciations by the same +feeling that is created in us by the discussion of phenomena. +This is how all science has been started. Well, and does not every +one feel that we have here to do with manifestations from beings +capable of thought, and not with material physiological facts only? + +``This impression is superabundantly confirmed by investigation concerning +the unknown faculties of the soul, when active in dreams and somnambulism. + +``A brother learns the death of his young sister by a terrible nightmare. + +``A young girl sees beforehand, in a dream, the man whom she will marry. + +``A mother sees her child lying in a road, covered with blood. + +``A lady goes, in a dream, to visit her husband on a distant steamer, +and her husband really receives this visit, which is seen by a third person. + +``A magnetized lady sees and describes the interior of the body +of her dying mother; what she said is confirmed by the autopsy. + +``A gentleman sees, in a dream, a lady whom he knows arriving at night +in a railroad station, her journey having been undertaken suddenly. + +``A magistrate sees three years in advance the commission of a crime, +down to its smallest details. + +``Several persons report that they have seen towns and landscapes +before they ever visited them, and have seen themselves in situations +in which they found themselves long after. + +``A mother hears her daughter announce her intended marriage six months +before it has been thought of. + +``Frequent cases of death are foretold with precision. + +``A theft is seen by a somnambulist, and the execution of +the criminal is foretold. + +``A young girl sees her fiance', or an intimate friend dying +(these are frequent cases), etc. + +``All these show unknown faculties in the soul. Such at least +is my own impression. It seems to me that we cannot reasonably +attribute the prevision of the future and mental sight to a nervous +action of the brain. + +``I think we must either deny these facts or admit that they must +have had an intellectual and spiritual cause of the psychic order, +and I recommend sceptics who do not desire to be convinced, to deny +them outright; to treat them as illusions and cases of a fortuitous +coincidence of circumstances. They will find this easier. +Uncompromising deniers of facts, rebels against evidence, +may be all the more positive, and may declare that the writers +of these extraordinary narratives are persons fond of a joke, +who have written them to hoax me, and that there have been persons +in all ages who have done the same thing to mystify thinkers +who have taken up such questions. + +``These phenomena prove, I think, that the soul exists, +and that it is endowed with faculties at present unknown. +That is the logical way of commencing our study, which in the end +may lead us to the problem of the after-life and immortality. +A thought can be transmitted to the mind of another. +There are mental transmissions, communications of thoughts, +and psychic currents between human souls. Space appears +to be no obstacle in these cases, and time sometimes seems +to be annihilated.'' + +A few years ago a person whom I will designate as ``A'' related a dream +to me as follows: ``I take no interest in pugilism or pugilists, +but I saw, in a dream, every detail of the Corbett and Fitzsimmons mill, +four days before it took place out West. Two nights before the fight I +had a second dream in which a favorite horse was running, but suddenly, +just before the judge's stand was passed, a hitherto unobserved little black +horse ran ahead and the crowd shouted in my ears, `Fitzsimmons wins!' '' + +``B'' relates the following as a dream: ``I saw the American soldiers, +in clay-colored uniform, bearing the flag of victory two weeks +before the Spanish-American war was declared, and of course before +any living being could have known the uniform to be adopted. +Later I saw, several days before the actual occurrence happened, +the destruction of Cervera's fleet by the American navy.'' +Signed ``B.'' + +``Just after the South African hostilities began, I saw in a dream +a fierce struggle between the British and Boers, in which the former +suffered severe losses. A few nights after I had a second dream +in which I saw the contending forces in a long-drawn contest, +very disastrous to both, and in which neither could claim a victory. +They seemed to be fighting to a frazzle.'' Signed ``C.'' + +``D'' related to me at the time of the occurrence of the dream the following: +``It had been suggested to me that the two cereals, corn and wheat, were too +far apart, and that I ought to buy corn. At noon I lay down on a lounge +to await luncheon; I had barely closed my eyes before a voice whispered: +`Don't buy, but sell that corn.' `What do you mean?' I asked. +`Sell at the present price, and buy at 23 7/8.' '' The foregoing dream was +related to me by a practical, successful business man who never speculates. +I watched the corn market and know it took the turns indicated in the dream. + +In this dream we find the dreamer conversing with some strange +intelligence possessed of knowledge unknown to objective reason. +It could not, therefore, have been the waking thoughts +of the dreamer, for he possessed no such information. +Was the message superinduced through the energies and +activities of the waking mind on the subjective mind? +This could not have been, because he had no such thoughts; +besides, the intelligence given was free from the errors +of the calculating and anxious waking mind. + +We must therefore look to other sources for an explanation. Was it +the higher self that manifested to Abraham in the dim ages of the world? +Was it the Divine Voice that gave solace to Krishna in his abstraction? +Was it the unerring light that preceded Gautama into the strange solitudes +of Asia? Was it the small voice that Elijah heard in the desert +of Shurr? Was it the Comforter of Jesus in the wilderness and the garden +of distress? Or, was it Paul's indwelling spirit of this earthly tabernacle? +One thing we may truthfully affirm--that it did not proceed from the rational, +objective mind of the rank materialist, who would close all doors to that +inner life and consciousness where all true religion finds its birthmark, +its hope, its promises and its faith; which, rightly understood, +will leave to the horrors of the Roman crucifixion the twin thieves, +superstition and scepticism, while the angel of ``Goodwill'' will go +free to solace the world with the fruit and fragrance of enduring power +and promise{.} The steel chains that fasten these hydra-headed crocodiles +of sensuous poison around love and destiny can only be severed by the diamond +of wisdom and knowledge. + +A citizen worthy of confidence relates the following dream: +``In December, 1878, I saw in a dream my brother-in-law, Henry Yarnell, +suffering from a bloody knife wound; after this I awoke, but soon +fell asleep again. The second time I dreamed of a similar scene, +except that the wound was the result of a shotgun. After this I +did not go to sleep again. I was much troubled about my dream, +and soon started in the direction of my brother-in-law's house. +I had not gone far, when I met an acquaintance who promptly informed +me that my brother-in-law had been shot.'' Signed ``E.'' + +A well-known resident of Chattanooga, Tenn., formerly of New York City, +will vouch for the accuracy of the following incident in his life: + +``On February 19, 1878, I was boarding with a family on Christopher street, +New York, while my wife and baby were visiting my parents in the country, +a short distance from the city. Our baby was taken sick. +The malady developed into brain fever, followed by water on the brain, +causing the little one's death. + +``At our boarding-place there was at the time a quartette of us +grass widowers, as we called ourselves, and in order to pass away +the time pleasantly we had organized a `grass widowers' euchre club.' +We used to meet almost every evening after dinner in the dining-room, +and play until about eleven o'clock, when we would retire. +On the above date I dreamed that after playing our usual evening +games we took our departure for our rooms, and on the way up +the second flight of stairs I heard a slight movement behind me; +on looking around I found I was being followed by a tall figure +robed in a long, loose white gown, which came down to the floor. +The figure seemed to be that of a man--I would say, about seven +feet tall--who followed me up the second flight and along +the hallway, entering my room. After coming in the door he made +a circle of the room and seemed to be looking for something, +and when he approached the door to make his exit he stopped still, +and with a gesture of his hand remarked, `I have taken all you have.' +On the following morning, about 9:30 o'clock, I received a telegram +from my wife announcing the death of our only baby.'' Signed ``F.'' + +A well-known citizen of Chattanooga, Tenn., relates and vouches +for the truth of the following occurrence: + +``Several years ago, when a boy, I had a schoolmate and friend, Willie T., +between whom and myself there sprung up a mutual feeling of high regard. +We were chums in the sense that we were almost constantly together, both at +school and at home, and among the partnerships we formed was one of having +amateur shadowgraph and panoramic shows in the basement of Willie's home. +This much to show the mental and social relationship that existed between us. +Some time during this association (I cannot recall the exact night now) +I had a strange dream, in which my chum appeared to me with outstretched hand, +asking me to shake, saying, `I shall not see you any more.' With that, +the dream lapsed and was over. I thought nothing of the occurrence, and had +almost forgotten it, when one day, about a week later, during which time I had +not had a glimpse of my chum, while he was out hunting with another friend, +W. McC., in following him over a rail fence, the latter's gun was accidentally +discharged in Willie's face and neck, resulting in instant death. +With this shocking news the memory of the dream I had had came back to me +vividly and puzzled me very greatly, and indeed has puzzled me to this day.'' +Signed ``G.'' + +The recipients of the above dreams are living to-day and their names +and address may be obtained, none of them are credulous fanatics +or predisposed to a belief in psychic or spirit phenomena. + +The above dreams, except two, cannot be explained by telepathy, +because the mental picture cast on the dream mind had not in either +instance taken place in waking life. This would account for +the dream perception of ``D,'' which did not, in all probability, +take place until after the murder had been committed. + +The vision of ``F'' might be disposed of in the same way. +In this instance ``F'' saw the white-robed specter open the door, +walk around the room and finally, taking his position as if +to depart, say: ``I have taken all you have.'' No doubt this +vision took place at the exact moment of the child's death. + +There are thousands of similar experiences occurring daily in the lives +of honest, healthy and sane human beings, that rival the psychic +manifestations of Indian Yogism or Hebrew records. + +Still men go on doubting this true and loving subjective intelligence +that is constantly wooing for entrance into the soul and is ever +vigilant in warning the material life of approaching evils. +They prefer the Witch of Endor, and the Black Magicians of ancient +Egypt to the higher, or Christ self, that has been seen and heard +by the sages and saints of all ages, assuming appropriate symbols, +as in the case of the vision of ``F,'' where the angel of +death was assumed. + +To Paul it appeared as a great personal truth whom he was +relentlessly persecuting. To many a wayward son or daughter +of the present time, it appears as a dead relative or friend, +in order to approach the material mind and make its +warning more effective. + +To those who were interested in the teachings of Christ, but who after +his death were inclined to doubt him, this higher self materialized +in the form of the Great Master in order to impress on their material +minds the spiritual import of his teachings. So, to this day, when doubt +and temptation mar the moral instinct, God, through the spiritual self, +as Job says, approaches man while in deep sleep upon the bed to impress +his instructions that he may change man from his purpose. + +The spiritual world always fixes its orbit upon a +straight line, while the material world is fonder of curves. +We find man struggling through dreadful marshes and deserts +of charlatanism in order to get a glimpse into his future, +instead of solicitously following the straight line of inner +consciousness that connects with the infinite mind, from which, +aided by his Church and the healthy action of his own judgment, +he may receive those helpful spiritual impressions and messages +necessary to solace the longings of the searching soul. + +The philosophy of the True Master is the straight line. +Pythagoras, Plato and Christ created angles by running vertical lines +through the ecclesiastical and hypocritical conventionalities of their day. +The new angles and curves thus produced by the bold philosophy +of the humble Nazarene have confronted with impregnable firmness +during the intervening ages the sophistry of the Pharisees. + +``In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, +in slumberings upon the bed; then he openeth the ears of men and sealeth +their instruction. That he may withdraw man from his purpose and hide +pride from man.''--JOB 33:15. + +``Man cannot contradict the laws of Nature. But, are all the laws +of Nature yet understood?'' + +``Real philosophy seeks rather to solve than to deny.''--LYTTON. + +Those who live active lives exclude spiritual thought and +fill their minds with the fascinations of worldly affairs, +pleasure and business, dream with less frequency than +those who regard objective matters with lighter concern. +The former depend alone upon the voluptuous warmth of the world +for contentment; they look to money, the presence of some one, +or to other external sources for happiness, and are often disappointed; +while the latter, with a just appreciation of temporal wants, +depend alone upon the inner consciousness for that peace +which passeth all carnal understanding. + +They are strengthened, as were Buddha and Christ, by suppressing +the sensual fires for forty days and nights in the wilderness of trial +and temptation. They number a few, and are never disappointed, +while the former number millions. + +Nature is three-fold, so is man; male and female, son or soul. +The union of one and two produce the triad or the trinity +which underlies the philosophy of the ancients. + +Man has a physical or visible body, an atom of the physical or visible earth. +He has a soul the exact counterpart of his body, but invisible and subjective; +incomplete and imperfect as the external man, or _vice versa_. + +The soul is not only the son or creation of man, but it is the real man. +It is the inner imperishable double or imprint of what has outwardly +and inwardly transpired. All thoughts, desires and actions enter the soul +through the objective mind. + +The automaton of the body responds as quickly to the bat +of the eye as it does to the movement of the whole body. +By it the foot-steps of man and the very hairs of his head are numbered. +Thus it becomes his invisible counterpart. It is therefore the book +of life or death, and by it he judges himself or is already judged. +When it is complete nothing can be added or taken from its personnel. +It is sometimes partly opened to him in his dreams, but in death +is clearly revealed. + +Man has also a spiritual body, subjective to, and more ethereal +than the soul. It is an infinitesimal atom, and is related +in substance to the spiritual or infinite mind of the universe. +Just as the great physical sun, the center of visible light, +life and heat, is striving to purify the foul miasma of the marsh +and send its luminous messages of love into the dark crevices +of the earth, so the Great Spiritual Sun, of which the former +is a visible prototype or reflection, is striving to illuminate +with Divine Wisdom the personal soul and mind of man, thus enabling +him to become cognizant of the spiritual or Christ presence within. + +The heresy and Herod of wanton flesh, degenerate victim of +the sensuous filth and fermentation of self-indulgence, is ever +striving to exile and suppress, from the wilderness of sin, +the warning cry of the Nazarite voice by intriguing with the cunning, +incestuous daughters of unholy thoughts and desires. + +The objective mind is most active when the body is awake. +The subjective influences are most active, and often fill +the mind with impressions, while the physical body is asleep. +The spiritual intelligence can only intrude itself when +the human will is suspended, or passive to external states. +A man who lives only on the sensual plane will receive his +knowledge through the senses, and will not, while in that state, +receive spiritual impressions or warning dreams. + +Men and women rarely ever degrade themselves so low that +the small voice of the desert does not bring them a message. +Sodom and Gomorrah, vile with the debauchery of a nameless crime, +were not deserted by the angel of love until the fire +which they had lighted in their souls had consumed them. +The walls of Jericho did not fall until Rahab, the harlot, +had been saved and the inmates had heard for several days +the ram's-horn and the tramp of Joshua's infantry. + +The evangelist Jonah, the Sam Jones of Hebrew theology, +exhorted the adulterous Nineveh many times to repentance +before it fell. + +David, while intoxicated with the wine of love, from languishing +in the seductive embrace of the beautiful bathing nymph, Bathsheba, +heard the voice of Nathan. Surely God is no respecter of persons, +and will speak to all classes if the people will not stiffen their +necks or harden their hearts. + +Women dream more often and more vividly than men, because their dream +composition is less influenced and allied to external environments. + +All dreams possess an element of warning or prescience; +some more than others. This is unknown to the many, but is known +to the observing few. There are many people who have no natural +taste for music, and who do not know one note from another. +There are also those who cannot distinguish one color from another. +To the former there is no harmony of sound, and to the latter +there is no blending of colors. + +They are heard and seen, but there is no artistic recognition of the same. +Still it would be absurd to say to either the musician or the artist: +your art is false and is only an illusion of the senses. + +One man apparently never dreams; another dreams occasionally, +and still another more frequently; none atttempt{sic} to interpret +their dream, or to observe what follows; therefore, the verdict is, +``There is nothing in dreams.'' (Schopenhauer aptly says: +``No man can see over his own height.... Intellect is invisible +to the man who has none.'') The first is like the blind man who +denies the existence of light, because he does not perceive it. +The second and third resemble the color-blind man, who sees +but who persists in calling green blue, and _vice versa_. + +A fourth man sees in a dream a friend walking in his room; +the vision is so vivid he instantly gets up and strikes a match. +After making sure there is no intruder about the room he looks +at his watch and goes back to bed. The next day he receives +the unwelcome tidings that his friend died at the exact moment +of the vision. + +At another time he hears in his dream a familiar voice cry out in agony. +Soon he hears of a shocking accident or distressing illness befalling +the one whose voice he recognized in the dream.[2] + + +[2] For authentic records, see Flammarion's ``Unknown.'' + + +The third man, already referred to, has about the same dream experiences, +but calls them strange coincidences or unconscious cerebration, etc. + +Again, the fourth man dreams of walking through green fields +of corn, grass or wheat. He notes after such dreams prosperous +conditions follow for at least a few days. He also notes, +if the area over which he passes is interspersed with rocks or other +adverse signs, good and bad follow in the wake of the dream. +If he succeeds in climbing a mountain and finds the top barren +he will accomplish his object, but the deal will prove unprofitable. +If it is green and spring-like in appearance, it will yield good results. +If he sees muddy water, sickness, business depression or causes +for jealousy may develop. + +A nightmare suggests to the dreamer to be careful of health and diet, +to relax his whole body, to sleep with his arms down and keep plenty +of fresh air in the room. + +He sums up the foregoing with a thousand similar dream incidents, +and is led to believe certain dreams possess an element of warning. + +There are three pure types of dreams, namely, _subjective_, +_physical_ and _spiritual_. They relate to the past, +present and future, and are influenced by past or subjective, +physical and spiritual causes. The latter is always deeply prophetic, +especially when it leaves a vivid impression on the conscious mind. +The former, too, possesses an element of warning and prophecy, +though the true meaning is hidden in symbols or allegory. +They are due to contingent mental pictures of the past +falling upon the conscious mind of the dreamer. +Thus he is back at the old home, and finds mother pale and aged, +or ruddy and healthy, and the lawn withered or green. +It all augurs, according to the aspect the picture assumes, +ill or good fortune. + +Physical dreams are more or less unimportant. They are usually +superinduced by the anxious waking mind, and when this is so they +possess no prophetic significance. + +Dreams induced by opiates, fevers, mesmerism and ill health come under +this class. A man who gambles is liable to dream of cards; if he dreams +of them in deep sleep the warning is to be heeded; but if it comes +as a reverie while he sleeps lightly he should regard it as worthless. +Such dreams reflect only the present condition of the body and mind +of the dreamer; but as the past and present enter into shaping the future, +the reflections thus left on the waking mind should not go by unheeded. + +We often observe matters of dress and exterior appearance through mirrors, +and we soon make the necessary alterations to put our bodies in harmony +with existing formalities. Then, why not study more seriously the mental +images reflected from the mirror of the soul upon our minds through the occult +processes within us? + +Thirdly, the spiritual dreams are brought about by the higher self penetrating +the soul realm, and reflecting upon the waking mind approaching events. +When we put our animal mind and soul in harmony with our higher self we +become one with it, and, therefore, one with the universal mind or will by +becoming a part of it. It is through the higher self we reach the infinite. +It is through the lower self we fall into the whirlpool of matter. + +These dreams are a part of the universal mind until they +transpire in the life of man. After this they go to make a part +of the personal soul. Whatever has not taken place in the mind, +or life of man, belongs exclusively to the impersonal mind. +But as soon as a man lives or sees a thing, that thing +instantly becomes a part of his soul; hence, the clairvoyant, +or mind reader, never perceives beyond the personal ego, +as the future belongs exclusively to God or the universal mind, +and has no material, subjective existence; therefore, it cannot +be known except through the channels of the higher self, +which is the Truth or the Word that is constantly striving +to manifest itself through the flesh. + +Our psychical research people give us conclusive proof of mental +telepathy or telegraphy between finite minds. Thus communications +or impressions are conveyed many miles from one mind to another. +This phenomenon is easier when one or both of the subjects are +in a state of somnambulence or asleep. + +In thought transference or mind reading it is absolutely +necessary to have a positive and a negative subject. +Through the same law that mental impressions are telegraphed +from one finite mind to another a man may place himself in harmony +with the infinite mind and thus receive true and healthful +warnings of coming evil or good. Homer, Aristotle and other +writers of the ancient classics thought this not improbable. + +The statesman, the poet, the philosopher of the Bible were +unanimous in attaching prophetic significance to dreams. +Has the law of ethereal vibrations undergone any recent +changes to debar or molest the communion of the soul with its +spiritual father, any more than it has debarred contact with its +material mother or environments? + +We only understand the great laws of nature by effects. +We know that vegetation planted in native soil and properly attended +with light, heat and moisture, will grow and yield a certain +species of fruit. We may infer how it does this, but we cannot +explain the process of transformation any more than we can explain +why certain tropical birds are burnished with glowing colors, +and that other birds under the murky skies are gray and brown, +while in the Arctic regions they bleach. + +In sleep we see, without being awakened, the angry lightning rend +the midnight clouds, and hear the explosive thunder hurl its fury at us; +but can we explain it any more than our scientist can explain the natural +forces of thought, of love and hate, or the subtle intuition of woman? + +What of the silhouette or the anthelion of the Scandinavian Alps, +and the aerial cities so often seen by explorers and travelers? +Do not they defy the law of optics? Must we understand the intricacies +of articulation and the forces back of it before we can appropriate speech? +Must we discard all belief in an infinite mind because we cannot +understand it, and therefore say we are not a part of it because there +is no Infinite? Should we discard the belief in the infinitude of number, +because we cannot understand it, and therefore say that finite number +is not a part of the infinite? + +No scientist or naturalist is so grossly stupid as to deny +the infinite expansion of numbers? If this be so, it establishes +the infinite of number, of which every finite number is a part, +and thus we have a parallel in mathematics, the very cornerstone +of the exact sciences, for a finite and an infinite mind. +It is from the prototype of this infinite of number, namely, +the infinite of intelligence, that spiritual dreams proceed. +They are, therefore, the reflection of truth upon the dream mind +and occur with less frequency than do dreams of the other two classes. + +There are also mixed dreams, due to a multitude of incidents +arising from one or more sources, which being reflected upon +the mind at the same instant, produce an incoherent effect similar +to that which might be produced by running the same newspaper +through two or more presses all of different size type. + +Again, if you sit before a mirror where flashlights of faces and +other things are reflected simultaneously and instantly removed, +you will fail to obtain a well-defined impression of what passed +before your mind. + +If you should pass on a train, at the speed of two miles a minute, +through a forest of flowers and trees, your mind would be unable +to distinguish one flower or tree from another. + +It is in a similar way dream life and incidents may fall upon the mind. + +A woman may dream of receiving a letter, and in the same connection see +muddy water, or an arid landscape. Closely following, in waking life, +she is astonished to receive a letter in about the same manner of her dream, +but the muddy water and the arid landscape are missing. + +This is a mixed dream and is due to more than one cause. +The first part is literal in its fulfilment, and belongs to +the spiritual class; the other part of the dream is subjective, +and therefore allegorical in meaning. Together with the letter, +it was a forewarning of misfortune. + +These dreams are more difficult of interpretation than those +belonging to the spiritual type. In such dreams you may see water, +letters, houses, money, people, and countless other things. +The next day you may cross water or receive a letter; the other +things you may not see, but annoyance or pleasure will follow. + +Again, you may have a similar dream and not receive a letter or cross water, +but the waking life will be filled with the other dream pictures and you will +experience disappointing or pleasant surprises as are indicated by the letter +or water sign. + +I have selected the allegorical type of dreams for the subject of this work. +Dreams that are common occurrences and are thought by the world +to be meaningless. + +I have endeavored, through the occult forces in and about me +to find their esoteric or hidden import. + +_Dreams transpire on the subjective plane. They should therefore +be interpreted by subjective intelligence_. This, though burdened +with many business cares, I have honestly endeavored to do. +Through the long hours of many nights I have waited patiently +and passively the automatic movement of my hand to write +the subjective definitions without receiving a word or a single +manifestation of intelligence, and again the mysterious forces +would write as fast as my hand could move over the paper. + +I will leave it for my readers to draw their own conclusions +as to whether automatic writing is the work of extraneous spirits, +through the brain and intelligence of the medium, or the result +of auto-suggestive influence upon the subjective personality. + +It is argued by the Materialist, with some degree of strength, +that the healthy man does not dream, This is, perhaps, true, in a way, +but the whole man comprises the past, present, and future. The past +and future always embrace more of the conditions that surround him than +the present. The present is only the acute stage, while the chronic stage, +considered from a personal view, is the past and future combined. +Man cannot eliminate entirely these states from himself, for, while they +are past and future to the personal mind, they are ever present +to the higher subjective senses; he is, therefore, never in perfect +health unless these states are in harmony with the present. +The personal self, in a normal state, cannot free itself from the past +or from the anxieties of the future. + +The reader should ever keep before his mind the fact that no man +ever had the same dream twice. He may have had very similar dreams, +but some detail will be missing. Nature seems to abhor duplicates. +You could no more find two dreams alike than you could find facsimiles +in two blades of grass. A man cannot live two days exactly alike. +Different influences and passions will possess him. Consequently, no two +dreams can be had under exactly the same influences. Stereotypes are +peculiarly the invention of man and not of God or nature. + +Since it is impossible to find a man twice in exactly the same +mental state, it is equally impossible for him to dream the same +dream twice; therefore, it is only possible to approximate +dream interpretation by classing them into families. +This I have attempted to do in a more comprehensive way than +other writers who have preceded me. + +All men are acquainted with health and sickness, love and hate, +success and failure. Sickness, hate and failure belong to kindred families, +and often ally their forces in such a way that it is hard to say whether +the dreamer will fail in love, health or some business undertaking. +But at all times a bad symbol is a warning of evil, though that evil may +be minimized or exaggerated, or _vice versa_, according as signs are good. + +Thus, if the dream symbol indicates wealth or fortune to the peasant, +his waking life may be gladdened by receiving or seeing a fifty-cent piece, +or finding assuring work, while the same symbol to a wealthy man would +mean many dollars, or a favorable turn in affairs. + +It is the same in physical life. A man may hear the sound of a wagon. +He cannot determine by the rattle of the wheels whether it is laden +with laundry, groceries or dry goods. He may judge as to its size +and whether it is bearing a heavy or a light burden. When it +objectifies he will be able to know its full import and not before. +So with dream symbols. We may know they are fraught with evil or good, +as in the case of Pilate's wife, but we cannot tell their full meaning +until their reflections materialize before the objective sense. + +Death is more frequently foretold by dream messages or visions, +as explained in another part of this chapter. + +During sleep the will is suspended, leaving the mind often a prey +to its own fancy. The slightest attack of an enemy may be foretold +by the unbridled imagination exaggerating the mental picture into +a monstrous shark or snake, when, indeed, a much less portentous +sign was cast from the dream mold. + +A woman may see a serpent in waking life and through fright lose reason +or self-control. She imagines it pursues her when in reality it is going +an opposite direction; in a like way dreams may be many times unreal. + +The mind loses its reason or will in sleep, but a supersensitive +perception is awakened, and, as it regains consciousness from sleep, +the sound of a knock on the wall may be magnified into a pistol shot. + +The sleeping mind is not only supersensitive as to existing external sounds +and light, but it frequently sees hours and days ahead of the waking mind. + +Nor is this contradictory to the laws of nature. The ant housed +in the depth of the earth, away from atmospheric changes, +knows of the approach of the harvest, and comes forth to lay +by his store. + +In a like manner, the pet squirrel is a better barometer of the local weather +than the Weather Bureau. With unerring foresight, when a wintry frown nowhere +mars the horizon, he is able to apprehend a cold wave twenty-four hours ahead, +and build his house accordingly. + +So in sleep, man dreams the future by intuitive perception of invisible +signs or influences, while awake he reasons it out by cause and effect. +The former seems to be the law of the spiritual world, while the latter +would appear to be the law of the material world. Man should not depend +alone upon either. Together they proclaim the male and female principle +of existence and should find harmonious consummation. + +In this manner only can man hope to achieve that perfect normal +state to which the best thought of the human race is aspiring, +where he can create and control influences instead of being +created and controlled by them, as the majority of us are at +the present day. + +God, the highest subjective source of intelligence, may in a +dream leave impressions or presentiments on the mind of man, +the highest objective source of intelligence. + +The physical sun sends its light into the dark corners of the earth, +and God, the Spiritual Sun, imparts spiritual light into the passive +and receptive soul. + +Man, by hiding in a cave, or closing the windows and doors of his house, +may shut out all physical light; so he may steep his soul in sensual +debauchery until all spiritual light is shut out. + +Just as the vital essence of the soil, the mother of nature, +may be extracted by abuse, either from omission or commission, +until neither the light of the sun, nor the moisture of the heavens +will wake the flush of life, so may the spiritual essence +be deadened when the soil of the soul is filled with the aged +and multiplying weeds of ravishing materiality. + +The dream mind is often influenced by the waking mind. +When the waking mind dwells upon any subject, the dream mind +is more or less influenced by it, and it often assists the waking +mind in solving difficult problems. The personal future, +embodied in the active states of the universal mind, +may affect the dream mind, producing premonitions of death, +accidents and misfortune. + +The objective mind rejoices or laments over the aspects of the past +and present, while the spiritual mind, striving with the personal future, +either laments or rejoices over the prospective conditions. + +One is the barometer of the past, while the other is the barometer +of the future. + +If we study carefully the spiritual impressions left upon the dream mind, +through the interpretations of this book, we will be able to shape our future +in accordance with spiritual law. + +Thus our temporal events will contribute to our spiritual development, +and in turn our spiritual knowledge will contribute to our temporal welfare. +Without this harmonious interaction of the two great forces in man, +the Divine plan of destiny cannot be reached. + +This can only be accomplished through the material mind +or reason dominating the animal emotions of the heart. +In this way we would not covet our neighbor's goods, or grow +angry with our brother over trifles. + +The house vacated by the sefish{sic} appetites of the world would +be filled with the whispers of spiritual love and wisdom necessary +to the mutual welfare and development of body and soul. + +The theory used in this book to interpret dreams is both simple and rational. +By the using of it you will be surprised to find so many of the predictions +fulfilled in your waking life. We deal with both the thought and the dream. +The thought or sign implied in the object dreamed of and the influence +surrounding it are always considered in the interpretation. + +Thoughts proceed from the visible mind and dreams from the invisible mind. +The average waking mind receives and retains only a few of the lessons +of life. It is largely filled with idle and incoherent thoughts that +are soon forgotten. The same may be truly said of the dream mind. +Many of our day thoughts are day dreams, just as many of our night dreams +are night thoughts. Our day deeds of evil or good pierce or soothe +the conscience, just as our night symbols of sorrow and joy sadden or please +the objective senses. Our day's thoughts are filled with the warnings +and presence of the inner mind and our night's thoughts are tinctured +and often controlled by our external mind. + +Some writer has said: ``Everything that exists upon earth has its +ethereal counterpart.'' Christ said: ``As a man thinketh so is he.'' +A Hindu proverb says: ``Man is a creature of reflection; he becomes +that upon which he reflects.'' A modern metaphysicist says: +``Our thoughts are real substance and leave their images upon +our personality, they fill our aura with beauty or ugliness according +to our intents and purposes in life.'' Each evil thought or action +has its pursuing phantom, each smile or kindly deed its guiding angel, +we leave wherever we ignobly stand, a tomb and an epitaph to haunt +us through the furnace of conscience and memory. + +Closely following in the wake of our multiplying evil thoughts are armies +of these ghastly spectres pursuing each other with the exact intents +and purposes of the mind that gave them being. If we consider well these +facts we will be forced into thinking our best thoughts at all times. +Thoughts are the subjective and creative force that produces action. +Action is the objective effect of thought; hence the character of our daily +thoughts is making our failure or success of to-morrow. + +The impersonal mind deals with all time and things as ever present. +The objective mind is constantly striving to penetrate +the spiritual realm, while the spiritual mind is striving to +enter matter, hence our actions have their subjective counterparts +and their subethereal counterparts. The universal mind, +in harmony with the evolutionary plans and laws of the macrocosms, +materializes through functions of the microcosm, imparting to each, +with its routine of failure and success, its daily objectivity. +The inner or passive dream mind may perceive the subjective types +or antitypes many days before they objectify through the microcosm. +Their meaning is often wrapt in symbols, but sometimes +the actual as it occurs in objective life is conveyed. +Our own thought images which have passed before the objective mind +may be perceived by the clever mind reader, but those antitypes +which are affecting our future, but which have none other +but subjective existence, are rarely ever perceived by any one +except by the power of the higher self or the spirit within. +For this reason we are enjoined by the sages to study self. +With the physical mind we only see physical objects, +with the subjective mind we see only subjective objects. +This was Paul's doctrine and it is the belief of the best +psychic thought of this century. By means of our reason-- +an objective process for divining the future--aided by mathematical +and geographical data, we may outline the storm centers and the path +of the rain days before they appear in certain localities. +After eliminating all contingencies arising from clerical +error and counteracting influence, the prognostication is sure +of fulfilment. For centuries ahead the astronomer foretells +the eclipse of the moon and the sun and the arrival of comets. +He does not do this by crossing the borderland dividing the spiritual +from the physical world. In a like manner the subjective +forces operate upon their own planes and know very little +even of their own corporal realm, just as our physical senses +know little, if anything, of the soul or spiritual habitation. +They know that by gross living the sense of conscience may +be dulled, or that by right living it may be strengthened. +In like manner the subjective mind perceives by its own senses +certain invisible types of evil seeking external manifestations +in the microcosm. It knows that these forms of error will work +harm to the objective mind, and that if persisted in they +will pervert all intercourse or interchange of counsel between +the two factions of the man. In this there is no spiritual +perception of physical objects, any more than there is in mundane +life a sense perception of spiritual images and antitypes. +The former only sees the forms that manifest on its plane, +while the latter can note only those common to its sphere. +Each may recognize and feel the violence or good that these +manifestations will do to their respective counterparts, +but we have no reason to believe that normal objective or +subjective states have visional powers beyond their own plane. +The mind of man acting upon the mind of the macrocosm will produce, +according as he thinks or acts, antitypes of good or evil in +the imagination of the world which is reflected upon the spiritual +aura of the microcosm previous to taking on corporal form. +While in this state they may be perceived by subjectivity, +and thus the images seen are impressed on the dream mind +during sleep, or on the passivity of the objective sense. + +Evil or righteous acts recently committed will more acutely affect +the present waking mind than those enacted at a more remote period. +In a similar way future disaster or success which is soon to occur +will impress the dream mind more vividly than those which are +to transpire at a later date. But in the lives of all men there +are past incidents which they will never forget, and which +will never cease to fill their hearts with pride or remorse. +So, too, in their distant future there are important events +to transpire which are struggling through tumultuous infinitude +to leave their ghastly or smiling impress upon the dream mind. +If your mental states are passive you will receive the warnings. +There are cases on record which show events have been forecast +years ahead of their occurrence. + +We do not claim that this book will prove an interpreter of all dreams, +or that the keys disclosed will open to you all the mysteries of the future, +or even all those surrounding your own personality, but by studying +the definitions and the plane upon which they were written, you will be able, +through the power of your own spirit, to interpret your own dreams. +The combination of dream and dream influences are as infinite as the stars, +or the combination of thought and number. They can only be classed +and considered as such. They cannot be analyzed in detail or as a whole. +In mathematics we have nine digits from which an infinite variety +of combinations may be formed and solved by the deduction of the mind. +Through them we may measure time, space, quality and quantity. + +The symbol o and I exist by reason of _no thing_ and _some +thing_ or death and life. The figure one is subject to +illimitable expansion. It is without beginning in the infinite +of number, as God is without beginning in the infinite of being. +As with the vegetable kingdom, the tiny seed or acorn silently +working its magical transformation into a plant or tree, +and directing its destiny with marvelous intelligence +through the torrid and frigid vicissitudes of the seasons; +so is man without beginning in the infinitude of his own +being or microcosm. Man is both a type and antitype. +A type of what pre-existed in the imagination of the world, and an +antitype of a future life yet to manifest itself on another plane +where the incidents of the one will be subjective, as the events +occurring in infancy or in other planes are now subjective. +His dreams, thoughts and actions, and the influences that +produce them and their multiplying combination, cannot be +numbered or reproduced any more than you can number the leaves +of the forest, or find two exactly similar units among them. +Thus the full meaning or interpretation of dreams cannot be fully +demonstrated through mental or even spiritual stereotypes. +But by the intelligent use of this book you will be able to trace +out almost any dream combination and arrive at the true nature +of its portent. + +A wise doctor, in preparing medicine for a patient, +considers well his age, temperament and his present condition. +So should the interpreter of dreams ponder well the mental state, +the health, habits and temperament of the dreamer. +These things no one can know so well as the dreamer himself. +He, therefore, with the aid of this book, will be able to interpret +his dreams by the light that is in him. + +Man is the microcosm or a miniature world. He has a soul and +mental firmament, bounded by the stellar dust and the milky way, +and filled with the mystery of suns, satellites and stars. +These he can study best by the astronomy of induction and introspection. +He has also a physical plane, diversified by oceans, +lakes, rivers, fertile valleys, waste places and mountains. +All are in cosmic interdependency as they are in the macrocosm. +Here rests the mystery of being--the grandest of subjects! +The student is no less bewildered and awed than the geologist +who gropes blindly through the seams of the earth searching +for links in the infinite chain of knowledge, or the astronomer +sweeping the heavens of the macrocosm in quest of new phenomena. +The two planes are dependent upon each other. It is the smile +or disease of the firmament that blesses or diseases the earth. +It is likewise the impure firmament of the microcosm that diseases +the body and soul. If it reflects the drought of thought or the +various states of evil, deserts will enlarge, forest of infectious, +venomous growth will form the habitation of lust and murder. +Before great moral or physical revolutions or catastrophes occur, +clouds will darken the horizon of the dream mind; storms will gather, +lurid flames of lightning will flash their volatile anger; +the explosive thunder will recklessly carry on its bombardment; +bells will ring, strange knocking will be heard--symbols of a message-- +phantom forms will be seen, familiar voices will call and plead +with you, unknown visitors will threaten you, unearthly struggles +with hideous giants and agonies of mind and body will possess you; +malformations of the most hideous type will seize your vision; +shrouded in sheets of a whitish vapor, evanescent specters, +with pallid face and of warning countenance, will cling around you, +and contagion and famine will leave their desolate impress upon +the flower of health and in the field of plenty. Thus all of us +would be nightly warned in our circle or miniature world if we +would develop subjective strength to retain the impressions left +upon our dream mind. But in spite of all reason and conscience-- +in spite of the inductive knowledge received through our senses-- +we go on from day to day, and step by step, feeding our soul +on the luscious fruit of the outward senses, until the rank +weeds of sefishness{sic} have choked out all other forces. +Thus the soul is filled with thought images that assume the form +of vicious animals, homely visaged fowls, rabid and snarling +cats and dogs, leprous and virile serpents, cankerous lizards, +slimy intestine worms, hairy and malicious insects. +They are generated by greed, envy, jealousy, covetousness, backbiting, +amorous longings and other impure thoughts. With the soul filled +with this conglomeration of virus and filth, why doubt a hell and its +counterpart condition, or expect the day or night to bring happiness? +If evil thoughts will infest the soul with ravenous microbes, +good thoughts and deeds will starve and suppress their activity, +and create a heaven to supplant them. With this grand and eternal +truth in view, man should ever think kindly of those about him, +control his temper in word and action, seek his own, think the best +of thoughts, study to relieve the worthy poor, seek solace in the depth +of being, and let gentleness and meekness characterize his life. +Then will he sow the seeds of a present and future heaven. +His day thoughts and his night thoughts in harmony will point +with unerring forecast to a peaceful end. Spiritual and helpful +warnings will fall upon the dream mind, as gently as dew upon +the flowers and as softly as a mother's kiss upon the lips of love. +When our external lives are guided by the forces within, +sweet are the words and messages from our own spirit; +for those who are truly blessed are those who seek divine love +through the channels of their inner world of consciousness. + + + +{illust. caption = A DIAGRAM GIVING THE THEORY OF THIS BOOK, +AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MICROCOSM AND THE MACROCOSM. + +FRAGMENTARY THOUGHTS FROM DREAM REALMS:} + + +Man is a little circle or world composed of the infinitesimal atoms thrown +off from the great circle or parent world, and fitting into his place +in the zone of life. If in the revolutions of the great circle he catches +more material he increases his circle to objective or subjective growth: +if he absorbs spiritual or mind atoms as they fall from the great body +of creative source, he enlarges or contracts his own circle according +to the assimilation of the food he receives from the parent. + +It is optional with man to obtain spiritual or material manna +as it is disseminated throughout existence. To feed on material +diet alone, contracts and distorts the circle of the man; +but a full comprehension of the needs of the circle, a proper +denial of supply to some of the compounds, together with a tender +care of other parts, will round out the whole into a perfect +physical and mental circle of life. + +Dissentious and conflicting results should be avoided in computing +the length and breadth of the compounded circle of man's individual world. +Objective life is one of the smallest compounds in real life. + +Dream life is fuller of meaning and teaching of the inner, or God life, +than is the exterior life of man. The mind receives education +from communing with the dream composition in the great circle. +Consult with your whole nature or circle before beginning a serious work; +partial consultations, or material advice only, often brings defeat +of objects sought, when a true home counsel would have brought success +and consequent happiness. + +Man should live in his subjective realms and study more his +relation to other compositions or circles; thus fructifying +and making beautiful his own world through intercourse with +others who have worked in the great storehouse of subjectivity, +and who have climbed already from the basement into the light +of spiritual sunshine. + +* * * * + +A FEW QUESTIONS AND SUBJECTIVE ANSWERS REGARDING DREAMS. + + +QUESTION.--What is a dream? + +ANSWER--A dream is an event transpiring in that world belonging to the mind +when the objective senses have withdrawn into rest or oblivion. + +Then the spiritual man is living alone in the future or ahead +of objective life and consequently lives man's future first, +developing conditions in a way that enables waking man to shape +his actions by warnings, so as to make life a perfect existence. + +Q.--What relationship is sustained between the average man and his dreams? + +A.--A dream to the average or sensual person, bears the same relation to his +objective life that it maintained in the case of the ideal dreamer, but it +means pleasures, sufferings and advancements on a lower or material plane. + +Q.--Then why is man not always able to correctly interpret his dreams? + +A.--Just as words fail sometimes to express ideas, so dreams fail +sometimes in their mind pictures to portray coming events. + +Q.--If they relate to the future, why is it we so often dream +of the past? + +A.--When a person dreams of past events, those events are warnings of evil +or good; sometimes they are stamped so indelibly upon the subjective mind +that the least tendency of the waking mind to the past throws these pictures +in relief on the dream consciousness. + +Q.--Why is it that present environments often influence our dreams? + +A.--Because the future of man is usually affected by the present, +so if he mars the present by wilful wrongs, or makes it bright +by right living it will necessarily have influence on his dreams, +as they are forecastings of the future. + +Q.--What is an apparition? + +A.--It is the subjective mind stored with the wisdom gained from futurity, +and in its strenuous efforts to warn its present habitation-- +the corporal body--of dangers just ahead, takes on the shape of a dear +one as the most effective method of imparting this knowledge. + +Q.--How does subjectivity deal with time? + +A.--There is no past and future to subjectivity. +It is all one living present. + +Q.--If that is so, why can't you tell us accurately of our future +as you do of our past? + +A.--Because events are like a procession; they pass a few at a time +and cast a shadow on subjective minds, and those which have passed +before the waking mind are felt by other minds also and necessarily +make a more lasting impression on the subjective mind. + +* * * * + + +Q.--To illustrate: A person on retiring or closing his eyes had a face +appear to him, the forehead well formed but the lower parts distorted. +Explain this phenomenon? + +A.--A changed state from perfect sleep or waking possessed him. + +Now, the man's face was only the expression of his real +thoughts and the state of his business combined. +His thoughts were strong and healthy, but his business fagging, +hence his own spirit is not a perfect likeness of his own soul, +as it takes every atom of earthly composition perfectly normal +to reproduce a perfect spirit picture of the soul or mortal man. +He would have seen a true likeness of himself had conditions +been favorable; thus a man knows when a complete whole is +his portion. Study to make surroundings always harmonious. +Life is only being perfectly carried on when these conditions +are in unison. + + +HOW TO DEVELOP THE POWER TO DREAM. + + +Keep the mind clear and as free from material rubbish as is +possible and go to sleep in a negative condition (this will, +of course, have to be cultivated by the subject). A person can, +if he will, completely relax his mind and body to the receptive +mood required for dreams to appear as realities, or true +explanations of future events. + +* * * * + + +To dream you are conversing with a dead relative, and that +relative endeavors to extract a promise from you, warns you +of coming distress unless you follow the advice given. +Disastrous consequences could be averted if minds could grasp +the inner workings and sight of the higher or spiritual self. +The voice of relatives is only that higher self taking form to approach +more distinctly the mind that lives near the material plane. +There is so little congeniality between common or material +natures that persons should depend more largely upon their own +subjectivity for true contentment and pleasure. + +* * * * + +DREAMS EXAGGERATED. + + +The will is suspended during sleep, so the dream mind is more a prey +to excitability than the waking mind. + +Thus when images appear upon the dream vision they are frequently distorted +into hideous malformations that fill it with fear and excitement. + + +CONTRARY DREAMS. + + +The constant dwelling of the mind upon certain things distorts +their shapes upon subjectivity, thus throwing dreams in exactly +opposite channels to the waking reality. Yet the dreamer always +feels a sense of being awake in dreams like these, and on awakening +experiences no recuperation of mind or body after such contrary dreams, +Sleep is not fully sustained while the dreamer is held by material +ideas in the subjective state. + +* * * * + +WHEN DREAMS ARE LESS PRESCIENT. + + +The cessation of the organs to perform healthful functions converts +a man into a different person, and dreams while in this state would +have no prophetic meaning, unless to warn the dreamer of this +disorganization of his physical system. + +Dreams are symbols used by subjectivity to impress the objective +or material mind with a sense of coming good or evil. Subjectivity is +the spiritual part of man. The soul is that circle of man lying +just outside the gross materiality and partaking largely of it. +All thoughts and desires enter first the soul or material mind +and then cast themselves on the spirit. Frequently the soul becomes +so filled with material or present ideas, that the spiritual symbols +are crowded out, and then it is that dreams seen to be contrary. +Material subjectivity, that is, all thoughts and ideas emanating +from material sources, go to make up this circle; then the mind +catches up the better thoughts of this section and weaves them +into a broader and more comprehensive power, sustaining the owner +in his own judgment. + +And still another circle is formed of the finer compound of this, +which is spiritual subjectivity, or the highest element of intelligence +reached by man. [This circle is ``the spiritual man'' and relates +in substance to the spiritual soul of the macrocosm or universe. +It becomes strong or weak as we recognize or fail to recognize +it as a factor of being. The process of spiritual development +is similar to that of the vegetable and animal kingdoms. +The trees on the outer rim of the forest are more capable of resisting +the wind than those more to the center, by reason of their exposure +to storms; the roots have penetrated with double strength far +into the earth, and the branches are braced with toughened bark +and closely knitted ligaments. + +The same may be said of the animal kingdom. The mind is developed +by vigorous exercise just as are likewise the muscles of the body. +The more these are cultivated by drawing from their parental affinities +in the macrocosm, the more knowledge or power they take on. +Thus as a man simulates in thought and action an ape, a tiger, a goat, +a snake or a lamb he takes on their characteristics and is swayed by +like influences to enmity, meekness, covetousness and avariciousness. +To illustrate further. If he is cunning he draws on the fox of +the microcosm and becomes, in action and thought, like that animal. +If selfishness survives, the hog principle is aroused from its latent +cells in the microcosm and he is dominated by material appetites. +In a similar way he may perceive the spiritual in himself. +Nature's laws, with all their numberless and intricate ramifications +are simple in their harmony of process and uniformity of purpose +when applied to the physical and ethical developments of man.] + +Possibilities for inner improvements or expansions rest with material man. +If he entertains gross desires to the exclusion of spiritual germs, +he will dwarf and degrade higher aspirations, and thus deprive subjective +spirituality of her rightful possessions. + +* * * * + + +Nature, in compounding the materials for the creation of the deaf man, +inadvertently dropped the ingredient sound, hence making an imperfect being; +and sound, being thus foreign to his nature, he can only be approached +by signs even in dreams. Subjectivity uses nature's forces, +while a normal person uses dreams to work on his waking consciousness. +As it is impossible to use with effect a factor which a man does not +naturally possess, a deaf man rarely ever dreams of sound, or a blind +man of light. + +* * * * + +TWO DREAMS ARE NEVER THE SAME, NOR ARE TWO FLOWERS EVER ALIKE. + + +Whatever symbol is used to impress the dreamer is the one +which is likely to warn him more definitely than any other. +No two persons being ever in the same state at the same time, +the same symbols would hardly convey identical impressions; +neither will the same dream be as effective in all cases +of business or love with the same dreamer. + +A person's dream perception wavers, much as it does in waking hours. +You fail to find the same fragrance in the rose at all times, +though the same influences seemingly surround you; and thus it is +that different dreams must be used for different persons to convey +the same meaning. + +Creation, confident of her power to perfect her designs, +does not resort to that monotony in her work, which might result +were the perception of man, or the petals and fragrance of flowers +cast from one stereotyped mold of intelligence, beauty or sweetness. +This variety of scheme runs through all creation. +You think you have identical dreams, but there is always +some variation, even if it be something dreamed immediately over. +Nature is no sluggard and is forever changing her compounds, +so that there is bound to be change in the details even of dreams. +This change would not materially affect the approach of happiness +or sorrow in different people, and hence the same dreams are +reliable for all. + +Persons of the same or similar temperament will be more deeply +impressed by a certain dream than would people their opposite; +and though the dream cannot be the same in detail yet it is +apparently the same, just as two like flowers are called roses, +though they are not identical. + +If a young woman twenty-five and a girl of fifteen should each have a dream +of marriage, the same definition would apply to each, just the same +as if they would each approach a flower and smell of it differently. +Different influences will possess them unconsciously, though the outward +appearance be the same. + +A young woman of a certain age is warned in a dream of trouble +likely to befall her, while another of similar age and +threatened trouble is warned also, but in different symbols, +which she fails to grasp and bring back to waking existence, +and she thus believes she has had no warning dream. + +There are those in the world who lack subjective strength, +material or spiritual, and hence they fail to receive dreams, +however symbolic, because there is no power within them +to retain these impressions. + +There are many reasons for this loss, utter material gross-ness, want +of memory, physical weakness uncoupled from extreme nervousness, +and total lack of faith in any warning or revelation purporting +or coming from the dream consciousness. + +To dream at night and the following day have the thing dreamed of +actually take place, or come before your notice, is not allegorical. +It is the higher or spiritual sense living or grasping the immediate +future ahead of the physical mind. The spiritual body is +always first to come into contact with the approaching future; +it is present with it, while still future to the physical body. +There is no reason why man should not grasp coming events earlier, +only he does not cultivate inner sight as he does his outer senses. +The allegorical is used because man weakens his spiritual force +by catering to the material senses. + +He clings to the pleasures and woes of the material world +to the exclusion of spirituality. + + + +WHAT'S IN A DREAM. + + +A. + + +``_When he was set down on the Judgment seat, his wife sent +unto him, saying, `Have thou nothing to do with that just man; +for I have suffered many things this day in a dream, because of him_.' +''--Matthew xxvii, 19. + +_Abandon_. + +To dream that you are abandoned, denotes that you will have difficulty +in framing your plans for future success. + +To abandon others, you will see unhappy conditions piled thick around you, +leaving little hope of surmounting them. + +If it is your house that you abandon, you will soon come to grief +in experimenting with fortune. + +If you abandon your sweetheart, you will fail to recover lost valuables, +and friends will turn aside from your favors. + +If you abandon a mistress, you will unexpectedly come into +a goodly inheritance. + +If it is religion you abandon, you will come to grief by your attacks +on prominent people. + +To abandon children, denotes that you will lose your fortune +by lack of calmness and judgment. + +To abandon your business, indicates distressing circumstances in which there +will be quarrels and suspicion. (This dream may have a literal fulfilment +if it is impressed on your waking mind, whether you abandon a person, +or that person abandons you, or, as indicated, it denotes other worries.) + +To see yourself or friend abandon a ship, suggests your possible +entanglement in some business failure, but if you escape to shore +your interests will remain secure. + + +_Abbey_.[3] + +To see an abbey in ruins, foretells that your hopes and schemes +will fall into ignoble incompletion. + +To dream that a priest bars your entrance into an abbey, +denotes that you will be saved from a ruinous state by enemies +mistaking your embarrassment for progress. + +For a young woman to get into an abbey, foretells her violent illness. +If she converses with a priest in an abbey, she will incur the censure +of true friends for indiscretion. + +_Abbess_. + +For a young woman to dream that she sees an abbess, denotes that she +will be compelled to perform distasteful tasks, and will submit +to authority only after unsuccessful rebellion. + +To dream of an abbess smiling and benignant, denotes you will be surrounded +by true friends and pleasing prospects. + +_Abbot_.[3] + +To dream that you are an abbot, warns you that treacherous plots +are being laid for your downfall. + +If you see this pious man in devotional exercises, it forewarns +you of smooth flattery and deceit pulling you a willing victim +into the meshes of artful bewilderment. + +For a young woman to talk with an abbot, portends that she will yield to +insinuating flatteries, and in yielding she will besmirch her reputation. +If she marries one, she will uphold her name and honor despite +poverty and temptation. + +[3] See similar words in connection with churches, priests, etc. + +_Abdomen_.[4] + +To see your abdomen in a dream, foretells that you will have +great expectations, but you must curb hardheadedness and redouble +your energies on your labor, as pleasure is approaching to your hurt. + +To see your abdomen shriveled, foretells that you will be persecuted +and defied by false friends. + +To see it swollen, you will have tribulations, but you will overcome them +and enjoy the fruits of your labor. + +To see blood oozing from the abdomen, foretells an accident or tragedy +in your family. + +The abdomen of children in an unhealthy state, portends that contagion +will pursue you. + +[4] See Belly. + +_Abhor_. + +To dream that you abhor a person, denotes that you will entertain +strange dislike for some person, and your suspicion of his honesty +will prove correct. + +To think yourself held in abhorrence by others, predicts that your good +intentions to others will subside into selfishness. + +For a young woman to dream that her lover abhors her, foretells that she +will love a man who is in no sense congenial. + +_Abject_. + +To dream that you are abject, denotes that you will be the recipient +of gloomy tidings, which will cause a relaxation in your strenuous +efforts to climb the heights of prosperity. + +To see others abject, is a sign of bickerings and false dealings +among your friends. + +_Abode_.[5] + +To dream that you can't find your abode, you will completely lose +faith in the integrity of others. + +If you have no abode in your dreams, you will be unfortunate in your affairs, +and lose by speculation. + +To change your abode, signifies hurried tidings and that hasty journeys +will be made by you. + +For a young woman to dream that she has left her abode, is significant +of slander and falsehoods being perpetrated against her. + +[5] See Home. + +_Abortion_. + +For a woman to dream that she assents to abortion being committed on her, +is a warning that she is contemplating some enterprise which if carried +out will steep her in disgrace and unhappiness. + +For a doctor to dream that he is a party to an abortion, +foretells that his practice will suffer from his inattention +to duty, which will cause much trouble. + +_Above_. + +To see anything hanging above you, and about to fall, implies danger; +if it falls upon you it may be ruin or sudden disappointment. +If it falls near, but misses you, it is a sign that you will have +a narrow escape from loss of money, or other misfortunes may follow. + +Should it be securely fixed above you, so as not to imply danger, +your condition will improve after threatened loss. + +_Abroad_. + +To dream that you are abroad, or going abroad, foretells that you +will soon, in company with a party, make a pleasant trip, and you +will find it necessary to absent yourself from your native country +for a sojourn in a different climate. + +_Absalom_. + +To dream of Absalom, is significant of distressing incidents. +You may unconsciously fall a victim to error, and penetrate +some well beloved heart with keen anguish and pain over the +committal of immoral actions and the outraging of innocence. +No flower of purity will ever be too sacred for you to breathe +a passionate breath upon. To dream of this, or any other +disobedient character, is a warning against immoral tendencies. +A father is warned by this dream to be careful of his children. + +_Absence_. + +To grieve over the absence of any one in your dreams, denotes that repentance +for some hasty action will be the means of securing you life-long friendships. + +If you rejoice over the absence of friends, it denotes that you +will soon be well rid of an enemy. + +_Abscess_. + +To dream that you have an abscess which seems to have reached a chronic stage, +you will be overwhelmed with misfortune of your own; at the same time your +deepest sympathies will be enlisted for the sorrows of others. + +_Absinthe_. + +To come under the influence of absinthe in dreams, denotes that you +will lead a merry and foolish pace with innocent companions, and waste +your inheritance in prodigal lavishness on the siren, selfish fancy. + +For a young woman to dream that she drinks absinthe with her lover warns +her to resist his persuasions to illicit consummation of their love. If she +dreams she is drunk, she will yield up her favors without strong persuasion. +(This dream typifies that you are likely to waste your energies in pleasure.) + +_Abundance_. + +To dream that you are possessed with an abundance; +foretells that you will have no occasion to reproach Fortune, +and that you will be independent of her future favors; +but your domestic happiness may suffer a collapse under the strain +you are likely to put upon it by your infidelity. + +_Abuse_. + +To dream of abusing a person, means that you will be unfortunate +in your affairs, losing good money through over-bearing persistency +in business relations with others. + +To feel yourself abused, you will be molested in your daily pursuits +by the enmity of others. + +For a young woman to dream that she hears abusive language, foretells that +she will fall under the ban of some person's jealousy and envy. +If she uses the language herself, she will meet with unexpected rebuffs, +that may fill her with mortification and remorse for her past unworthy +conduct toward friends. + +_Abyss_. + +To dream of looking into an abyss, means that you will be confronted +by threats of seizure of property, and that there will be quarrels +and reproaches of a personal nature which will unfit you to meet +the problems of life. + +For a woman to be looking into an abyss, foretells that she will +burden herself with unwelcome cares. If she falls into the abyss +her disappointment will be complete; but if she succeeds in crossing, +or avoiding it, she will reinstate herself. + +_Academy_. + +To visit an academy in your dreams, denotes that you will regret opportunities +that you have let pass through sheer idleness and indifference. + +To think you own, or are an inmate of one, you will find that you +are to meet easy defeat of aspirations. You will take on knowledge, +but be unable to rightly assimilate and apply it. + +For a young woman or any person to return to an academy after having +finished there, signifies that demands will be made which the dreamer +may find himself or her self unable to meet. + +_Accepted_.[6] + +For a business man to dream that his proposition has been accepted, +foretells that he will succeed in making a trade, which heretofore +looked as if it would prove a failure. + +For a lover to dream that he has been accepted by his sweetheart, +denotes that he will happily wed the object of his own +and others' admiration. + +[6] If this dream has been occasioned by overanxiety and weakness, +the contrary may be expected. The elementary influences often play +pranks upon weak and credulous minds by lying, and deceptive utterances. +Therefore the dreamer should live a pure life, fortified by a strong will, +thus controlling his destiny by expelling from it involuntary intrusions. + +_Accident_. + +To dream of an accident is a warning to avoid any mode of travel +for a short period, as you are threatened with loss of life. + +For an accident to befall stock, denotes that you will struggle +with all your might to gain some object and then see some friend +lose property of the same value in aiding your cause. + +_Accordion_. + +To dream of hearing the music of an accordion, denotes that you will +engage in amusement which will win you from sadness and retrospection. +You will by this means be enabled to take up your burden more cheerfully. + +For a young woman to dream that she is playing an accordion, +portends that she will win her lover by some sad occurrence; +but, notwithstanding which, the same will confer lasting +happiness upon her union. If the accordion gets out of tune, +she will be saddened by the illness or trouble of her lover. + +_Accounts_. + +To dream of having accounts presented to you for payment, +you will be in a dangerous position. You may have recourse +to law to disentangle yourself.

Decayed or blasted acorns have import +of disappointments and reverses. + +To pull them green from the trees, you will injure your interests +by haste and indiscretion. + +_Acquaintance_.[9] + +To meet an acquaintance, and converse pleasantly with him, +foretells that your business will run smoothly, and there +will be but little discord in your domestic affairs. + +If you seem to be disputing, or engaged in loud talk, humiliations and +embarrassments will whirl seethingly around you. + +If you feel ashamed of meeting an acquaintance, or meet him +at an inopportune time, it denotes that you will be guilty +of illicitly conducting yourself, and other parties will let +the secret out. + +For a young woman to think that she has an extensive acquaintance, +signifies that she will be the possessor of vast interests, and her love +will be worthy the winning. If her circle of acquaintances is small, +she will be unlucky in gaining social favors. + +[9] After dreaming of acquaintances, you may see or hear from them. + +_Acquit_. + +To dream that you are acquitted of a crime, denotes that you +are about to come into possession of valuable property, +but there is danger of a law suit before obtaining possession. + +To see others acquitted, foretells that your friends will add +pleasure to your labors. + +_Acrobat_. + +To dream of seeing acrobats, denotes that you will be prevented from carrying +out hazardous schemes by the foolish fears of others. + +To see yourself acrobating, you will have a sensation to answer for, +and your existence will be made almost unendurable by the guying +of your enemies. + +To see women acrobating, denotes that your name will be maliciously +and slanderously handled.

Her rights will be cruelly trampled upon by him. +If she thinks she is enticing a youth into this act, she will be +in danger of desertion and divorced for her open intriguing. + +For a young woman this implies abasement and low desires, +in which she will find strange adventures afford her pleasure. + +[10] It is always good to dream that you have successfully resisted +any temptation. To yield, is bad. If a man chooses low ideals, vampirish +influences will swarm around him ready to help him in his nefarious designs. +Such dreams may only be the result of depraved elementary influences. +If a man chooses high ideals, he will be illuminated by the deific +principle within him, and will be exempt from lascivious dreams. +The man who denies the existence and power of evil spirits has no arcana +or occult knowledge. Did not the black magicians of Pharaoh's time, +and Simon Magnus, the Sorcerer, rival the men of God? The dreamer +of amorous sweets is warned to beware of scandal. + +_Adulation_. + +To dream that you seek adulation, foretells that you will pompously +fill unmerited positions of honor. + +If you offer adulation, you will expressly part with some dear +belonging in the hope of furthering material interests. + +_Advancement_. + +To dream of advancing in any engagement, denotes your rapid ascendency +to preferment and to the consummation of affairs of the heart. + +To see others advancing, foretells that friends will hold positions +of favor near you. + +_Adversary_.[11] + +To dream that you meet or engage with an adversary, denotes that +you will promptly defend any attacks on your interest. +Sickness may also threaten you after this dream. + +If you overcome an adversary, you will escape the effect +of some serious disaster. + +[11] See Enemies. + +_Adventurer_. + +To dream that you are victimized by an adventurer, proves that you +will be an easy prey for flatterers and designing villains. +You will be unfortunate in manipulating your affairs to +a smooth consistency. + +For a young woman to think she is an adventuress, portends that she +will be too wrapped up in her own conduct to see that she is being +flattered into exchanging her favors for disgrace. + +_Adversity_. + +To dream that you are in the clutches of adversity, denotes that you +will have failures and continued bad prospects. + +To see others in adversity, portends gloomy surroundings, and the illness +of some one will produce grave fears of the successful working of plans.[12] + +[12] The old dream books give this as a sign of coming prosperity. +This definition is untrue. There are two forces at work in man, one from +within and the other from without. They are from two distinct spheres; +the animal mind influenced by the personal world of carnal appetites, +and the spiritual mind from the realm of universal Brotherhood, +present antagonistic motives on the dream consciousness. If these two +forces were in harmony, the spirit or mental picture from the dream +mind would find a literal fulfilment in the life of the dreamer. +The pleasurable sensations of the body cause the spirit anguish. +The selfish enrichment of the body impoverishes the spirit influence upon +the Soul. The trials of adversity often cause the spirit to rejoice +and the flesh to weep. If the cry of the grieved spirit is left +on the dream mind it may indicate to the dreamer worldly advancement, +but it is hardly the theory of the occult forces, which have contributed +to the contents of this book. + +_Advertisement_. + +To dream that you are getting out advertisements, denotes that you +will have to resort to physical labor to promote your interest, +or establish your fortune. + +To read advertisements, denotes that enemies will overtake you, +and defeat you in rivalry. + +_Advice_. + +To dream that you receive advice, denotes that you will be enabled to raise +your standard of integrity, and strive by honest means to reach independent +competency and moral altitude. + +To dream that you seek legal advice, foretells that there will +be some transactions in your affairs which will create doubt +of their merits and legality. + +_Advocate_. + +To dream that you advocate any cause, denotes that you will be faithful +to your interests, and endeavor to deal honestly with the public, +as your interests affect it, and be loyal to your promises to friends. + +_Afraid_. + +To feel that you are afraid to proceed with some affair, or continue +a journey, denotes that you will find trouble in your household, +and enterprises will be unsuccessful. + +To see others afraid, denotes that some friend will be deterred +from performing some favor for you because of his own difficulties. + +For a young woman to dream that she is afraid of a dog, +there will be a possibility of her doubting a true friend. + +_Africa_. + +To dream that you are in Africa surrounded by Cannibals, foretells that you +will be oppressed by enemies and quarrelsome persons. + +For a woman to dream of African scenes, denotes she will make journeys +which will prove lonesome and devoid of pleasure or profit. + +_Afternoon_. + +For a woman to dream of an afternoon, denotes she will form +friendships which will be lasting and entertaining.

To young women, a vision of weird and fairy +affluence is ominous of illusive and evanescent pleasure. +They should study more closely their duty to friends and parents. +After dreams of this nature they are warned to cultivate a love +for home life. + +[14] See Wealth. + +_Agate_. + +To see agate in a dream, signifies a slight advancement in business affairs. + +_Age_. + +To dream of age, portends failures in any kind of undertaking. + +To dream of your own age, indicates that perversity of opinion will bring +down upon you the indignation of relatives. + +For a young woman to dream of being accused of being older +than she is, denotes that she will fall into bad companionship, +and her denial of stated things will be brought to scorn. +To see herself looking aged, intimates possible sickness, +or unsatisfactory ventures.

Some people that were +sick have been informed during their sleep what remedies they should use, +and after using the remedies, they became cured, and such things have +happened not only to Christians, but also to Jews, Persians, and heathens, +to good and to bad persons.'' + +The writer does not hold that such knowledge is obtained from external +or excarnate spirits, but rather through the personal _Spirit Glimpses_ +that is in man.--AUTHOR. + + +_Death_.[53] + +To dream of seeing any of your people dead, warns you of coming dissolution +or sorrow. Disappointments always follow dreams of this nature. + +To hear of any friend or relative being dead, you will soon have bad news +from some of them. + +Dreams relating to death or dying, unless they are due +to spiritual causes, are misleading and very confusing to +the novice in dream lore when he attempts to interpret them. +A man who thinks intensely fills his aura with thought or +subjective images active with the passions that gave them birth; +by thinking and acting on other lines, he may supplant these +images with others possessed of a different form and nature. +In his dreams he may see these images dying, dead or +their burial, and mistake them for friends or enemies. +In this way he may, while asleep, see himself or a relative die, +when in reality he has been warned that some good thought +or deed is to be supplanted by an evil one. To illustrate: +If it is a dear friend or relative whom he sees in the agony +of death, he is warned against immoral or other improper thought +and action, but if it is an enemy or some repulsive object +dismantled in death, he may overcome his evil ways and thus give +himself or friends cause for joy. Often the end or beginning +of suspense or trials are foretold by dreams of this nature. +They also frequently occur when the dreamer is controlled by imaginary +states of evil or good. A man in that state is not himself, +but is what the dominating influences make him. He may be warned +of approaching conditions or his extrication from the same. +In our dreams we are closer to our real self than in waking life. +The hideous or pleasing incidents seen and heard about us in our +dreams are all of our own making, they reflect the true state +of our soul and body, and we cannot flee from them unless we drive +them out of our being by the use of good thoughts and deeds, +by the power of the spirit within us. + +[53] See Corpse. + +_Debt_. + +Debt is rather a bad dream, foretelling worries in business and love, +and struggles for a competency; but if you have plenty to meet all +your obligations, your affairs will assume a favorable turn. + +_December_. + +To dream of December, foretells accumulation of wealth, but loss +of friendship. Strangers will occupy the position in the affections +of some friend which was formerly held by you. + +_Deck_.[54] + +To dream of being on a ship and that a storm is raging, +great disasters and unfortunate alliances will overtake you; +but if the sea is calm and the light distinct, your way is clear +to success.
