-<span class="largefont">The Science of Foretelling Future Events
-by Dreams.</span></h2>
-</div>
-
-
-<p>Since the world began, “coming events have
-cast shadows before,” and many of the important
-incidents in our lives are shown us in
-our dreams if we only understood their full
-interpretation.</p>
-
-<p>The following are a few of the most certain
-signs, and can almost invariably be relied
-upon. For dreams not mentioned here, a
-pleasant dream almost invariably indicates
-good health, successful ventures and general
-prosperity, while evil dreams are forebodings
-of ill health and other troubles.</p>
-
-<p>Abuse.&mdash;To dream that you are abused and
-insulted is a certain sign you will have a dispute
-with some person with whom you have
-business, and, after such a dream, you should
-be particularly careful to be as gentle and mild
-as possible, that you may not give those with
-whom you have dealings any advantage over
-you; if you are in love, be assured that some
-one has attempted to injure you with the object
-of your affections, and that they have in a
-great measure succeeded. You should, therefore,
-after such a dream, be particularly attentive;
-eradicate the unfavorable impressions
-that have been made; if you have a lawsuit,
-keep a sharp lookout after your attorney, for<span class="pagenum">[3]</span>
-such a dream, in that case, denotes that he is
-endeavoring to sell your cause; avoid taking a
-journey by land, or a voyage by sea, for eight
-and forty hours, because such a dream forebodes
-accidents by travelling.</p>
-
-<p>Abraham.&mdash;To dream of Abraham denotes
-good fortune, accumulation of riches; in love,
-many rivals; in law, many difficulties, an increase
-in your business. He may give you
-some valuable information how to avoid trouble.</p>
-
-<p>Adam.&mdash;To dream of Adam is a particularly
-good omen, and brings good fortune to the
-dreamer.</p>
-
-<p>Adversary.&mdash;To dream you meet with an
-adversary denotes that you will overcome some
-obstacle to your happiness; if you are a lover,
-you will conquer some powerful rival, and be
-happy in your love; your affairs are going on
-well; if you are in trade, an increase of business;
-if you quarrel, and he overcomes you, it
-is a good sign, for you will conquer all obstacles
-to your promotion, happiness and fortune;
-but, if you conquer him, then you will never
-rise to any great preferment by the means you
-are at present adopting; many things will miscarry
-with you, but in general you will be fortunate.</p>
-
-<p>Acquaintance.&mdash;To dream you quarrel or
-fight with an acquaintance is unlucky; it forebodes
-a division amongst your own family,<span class="pagenum">[4]</span>
-much to the injury and prejudice of the
-dreamer; if you are in love, your sweetheart
-will prove unfaithful, and marry some one
-else; if you are in business, heavy loss will
-befall you, and you will disagree with some of
-your best friends on the most trivial matters;
-if you have a law-suit, your attorney will neglect
-you, your witnesses will be tardy and
-backward, and finally you will lose your cause.
-Do not for some time undertake a journey by
-land, or a voyage by sea, or enter into new
-undertakings, for you will be unsuccessful;
-leave, if you can, your present place of residence,
-and, above all, avoid lending money,
-for you will surely lose it, together with the
-friendship of those to whom you lend it.</p>
-
-<p>Angels.&mdash;To dream you see angels in your
-sleep is a sure sign that one is near you, therefore
-be mindful of the rest of your dream, for
-it will come to pass pretty accurately; should
-you dream you see an angel, or angels, then it
-denotes health, prosperity, and much happiness,
-with many children who will turn out good. If
-you are in love, nothing can be more favorable,
-and all your undertakings will prosper and be
-advantageous to you.</p>
-
-<p>Apparitions.&mdash;To dream you see a ghost,
-hobgoblin, spectre, and such kind of things, is
-of a very unfortunate nature, they denote vexation
-and disappointment; if you are in love, it
-is a certain sign of your not being beloved in
-return. Some one is about to deceive you and<span class="pagenum">[5]</span>
-you are friendly with one who is your most inveterate
-enemy; do not undertake a journey,
-for it will be unfortunate for you; be careful of
-contracting debts, for such a dream forebodes
-great trouble through some one to whom you
-shall owe money.</p>
-
-<p>Asps.&mdash;To dream of asps denotes that you
-will become extremely rich, and have great
-quantities of money by you; if you are in love,
-it imports that your love will be returned, and
-that your sweetheart will become through your
-means extremely wealthy.</p>
-
-<p>Bagpipes.&mdash;To dream of this instrument of
-Scottish music indicates that the dreamer will
-experience great trouble, and that he will labor
-to little purpose; in love, it denotes that the
-marriage state will be full of cares, and that
-you will in it experience much poverty and
-distress.</p>
-
-<p>Basin.&mdash;To dream you are eating or drinking
-out of a basin is a certain sign that you will
-soon be in love, but without great care you will
-not marry the first object of your affections; it
-denotes prosperity in your trade; and to the
-farmer, a good crop.</p>
-
-<p>Bathing.&mdash;To dream you are bathing yourself
-in clear water denotes happiness, prosperity,
-and success in love; if the water is dirty,
-then it foretells shame and sorrow, and a disappointment
-in love.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum">[6]</span></p>
-
-<p>Beans.&mdash;To dream of beans is an unfavorable
-dream, it is the forerunner of troubles and
-quarrels; if you are in love, expect a difference
-between you and your sweetheart.</p>
-
-<p>Bees.&mdash;To dream of them has a variety of interpretations
-according to their different situations.
-To dream they sting you denotes loss of
-good character, and, if you are in love, of your
-sweetheart.</p>
-
-<p>To dream you see them at work is very
-lucky, and means success by your industry; if
-you are in love, you will marry the object of
-your affections. To dream you see them making
-their honey under your own roof is the
-best omen in the world, it denotes riches, a good
-husband or wife, good children, whatever you
-undertake will be prosperous. For the rich to
-dream of bees is rather unlucky; but to the
-poor they denote comfort, affluence and success.</p>
-
-<p>Beheading.&mdash;To dream you see any one beheaded
-is a good omen; if you are in love, you
-will marry the object of your affections; if you
-are in trouble of any kind, it will speedily vanish;
-it denotes, also, that you will see some
-friend who has long been absent, and that he
-will be in good health.</p>
-
-<p>Bells.&mdash;To dream you hear the bells ringing
-denotes a speedy marriage, and that you will
-receive some very good news.</p>
-
-<p>Buildings.&mdash;To dream of being amongst
-buildings denotes that you will change your<span class="pagenum">[7]</span>
-present place of residence, and that you will
-make many new friends in life; if you are in
-love, it foretells your sweetheart is about to remove
-at a distance from you, and that you will
-be in danger of losing the affections of your
-lover by new faces.</p>
-
-<p>Cats.&mdash;To dream of these domestic animals
-is indicative of much trouble and vexation; it
-denotes to the lover that your sweetheart is
-treacherous; if you keep servants, they are unfaithful
-and will rob you. To dream you kill
-a cat denotes that you will discover a thief, and
-prosecute him to conviction; expect, also, to
-lose your own liberty through the insincerity
-of some pretended friend.</p>
-
-<p>Climbing.&mdash;To dream you are climbing a tree
-denotes some honor in the State, and success in
-life; if you are in love, you will marry your
-sweetheart after a long courtship. To dream
-you are climbing up a very steep hill or place
-foretells many difficulties and much sickness;
-if you reach the top, you will get over all your
-difficulties, and recover from your illness; but
-if you awake before you have attained the top,
-you will be disappointed in love and other projects
-in life, and die in your next illness.</p>
-
-<p>Church.&mdash;To dream of a church is portentous
-of evil. If you are in a church during
-divine service, you will be engaged in a lawsuit
-or some quarrel that will very near ruin
-you; if you are in love, your sweetheart is
-unfaithful, and prefers another.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum">[8]</span></p>
-
-<p>Dancing.&mdash;To dream you are dancing at a
-ball, wake or entertainment foretells that you
-will shortly receive some joyful news from a
-long absent friend, or that you are about to
-inherit some unexpected legacy; it foretells
-success and happiness in love; your sweetheart
-is kind and true, and will make you very
-happy in marriage; increase of children to married
-persons, and of business to those in trade.</p>
-
-<p>Darkness.&mdash;To dream you are in a very dark
-place, or that you are in the dark, is a very
-unfavorable omen; to the lover, it denotes the
-loss of your sweetheart; to the trader, loss by
-debts, business; to the farmer, bad crops; to
-the sailor, shipwreck and misfortune. To
-dream you get out of darkness into light denotes
-good to the dreamer; if you are in poverty,
-you will rise to riches and honor; if you
-are in love, it denotes a happy marriage and
-many children, with an industrious husband or
-wife; expect also to hear some glad tidings
-from a far distant country.</p>
-
-<p>Earthquake.&mdash;To dream of an earthquake
-warns you that your affairs are about to take a
-very great change; if you see many houses
-tumbled into ruins, then it will be much for the
-better; should the houses appear to stand, then
-for the worse; for the lover, it foretells that
-your sweetheart is about to take a journey, and
-that it is a chance if you ever see each other
-again.</p>
-
-<p>Eating.&mdash;To dream you are eating is a very<span class="pagenum">[9]</span>
-unfavorable omen; it portends disunion
-amongst your family, losses in trade, and
-disappointment in love. To see others eating
-is of a contrary tendency, and foretells success
-in all your present enterprises; that your
-sweetheart is kind and faithful, and if you
-marry the present object of your affections that
-you will grow rich, be happy and have dutiful
-children.</p>
-
-<p>Fall.&mdash;To dream you fall from any very
-high place, or from a tree, denotes loss of place
-and goods; if you are in love, it surely indicates
-that you will never marry the present object
-of your affections; to the tradesman, it
-denotes a decline of business, and to the sailor,
-storms and shipwreck.</p>
-
-<p>Fighting.&mdash;To dream you are fighting denotes
-to the lover that you will lose the object of your
-affections through a foolish quarrel; it also
-forebodes much opposition to your wishes, with
-loss of character and property. After such a
-dream you should leave your present situation,
-because such a dream indicates that you will
-not prosper in it; to the sailor it denotes storms
-and shipwreck, with disappointment in love.</p>
-
-<p>Fire.&mdash;To dream of this subtle element denotes
-health and happiness to the lover, marriage
-with the object of your affections, and
-many children; you will be very angry with
-some one on a trifling occasion. Burning lights
-descending, as it were from heaven, are a very
-bad sign; it portends some dreadful accident&mdash;having<span class="pagenum">[10]</span>
-your brains dashed out, breaking your
-legs, getting into prison, or other strange accidents;
-to the lover it also denotes the loss of
-the affections of your sweetheart; to the tradesman
-bad fortune in business. To dream that
-you are burnt by fire denotes great danger, and
-that enemies will injure you.</p>
-
-<p>Fishing.&mdash;To dream you are fishing is a sure
-sign of sorrow and trouble; if you catch any
-fish you will be successful in love and business;
-if you catch none you will never marry your
-present sweetheart, nor succeed in your present
-undertakings; if they slip out of your hands
-after you have caught them, the person you
-marry will be of a roving disposition, and some
-pretended friend will deceive you.</p>
-
-<p>Flowers.&mdash;To dream you are gathering flowers
-is a very favorable omen; expect to thrive
-in everything you undertake, and that you will
-be successful in love, marry happily, and have
-beautiful children; should they wither under
-your hands, then heavy losses in trade; that
-your sweetheart will die; or, if you are married,
-that you will lose your husband or wife, and
-also your favorite child.</p>
-
-<p>Fortune.&mdash;To dream you make a sudden fortune
-is a very bad omen; to the tradesman it
-forbodes losses in trade and quarreling with his
-creditors; to the lover, it denotes that your
-sweetheart does not return your love. To
-dream you are acquiring a fortune is favorable,
-it portends a good legacy and success in love.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum">[11]</span></p>
-
-<p>Garden.&mdash;To dream you are walking in a
-garden is of a very favorable nature; it portends
-elevation in fortune and dignity; to the
-lover it denotes great success and an advantageous
-marriage; to the tradesman it promises
-increase of business; to the farmer, plentiful
-crops.</p>
-
-<p>Gifts.&mdash;To dream you have anything given
-you is a sign that some good is about to happen
-to you; it also denotes that a speedy marriage
-will take place betwixt you and your sweetheart.
-To dream you have given anything
-away is the forerunner of adversity; and in
-love denotes sickness and inconstancy in your
-sweetheart or partner.</p>
-
-<p>Horses.&mdash;To dream of these useful animals
-is good; if you are mounted on a fine horse,
-you will marry a rich person, who will do well,
-and make you happy; it shows change in life;
-if you fall from your horse difficulties will
-occur, and some unexpected disaster befall you.</p>
-
-<p>Knives.&mdash;To dream of knives is a very
-unpropitious omen; it betokens law-suits, poverty,
-disgrace, strife, and a general failure in
-the pursuit of your projects; in love, it shows
-that your sweetheart is of a bad temper, and
-unfaithful, and that if you marry, you will
-live in enmity and misery.</p>
-
-<p>Marriage.&mdash;To dream you are married is
-ominous of death, and very unfavorable to the
-dreamer; it denotes poverty, a prison, and misfortunes.<span class="pagenum">[12]</span>
-To dream you assist at a wedding
-is the forerunner of some pleasing news and
-great success. To dream of lying with your
-newly married husband or wife threatens danger
-and sudden misfortunes, and also that you
-will lose a part of your property.</p>
-
-<p>Shoes.&mdash;To dream you have a new pair of
-shoes denotes much success in life and
-triumph over your enemies; in love, a speedy
-marriage and infidelity. In the married state,
-an increase of children. To dream your shoes
-are worn out and bad, shows decay in circumstances
-and loss of friends; in love, it foretells
-the infidelity of your lover, who will marry another.</p>
-
-<p>Silk.&mdash;To dream you see silk, either in pieces
-or for sewing, signifies prosperity and success
-in undertakings; to the lover, it denotes a
-sweetheart of an industrious disposition, good
-tempered, and very faithful; in trade, it foretells
-increase of business, by means of women.
-To be clothed in silk foretells honors and
-riches, but you will quarrel with a rich neighbor,
-who will endeavor to do you mischief.
-For a married woman to dream of being dressed
-in a silk gown, shows her husband is fond of
-some one who will nearly ruin him. If a
-maiden dreams of it, she will speedily see her
-lover.</p>
-
-<p>Silver.&mdash;To dream of this valuable metal
-shows that false friends are about you, and
-will attempt your ruin; in love, it denotes<span class="pagenum">[13]</span>
-falsehood in your sweetheart. To receive or
-pick up pieces of silver money, if they are small,
-denotes want and a prison; if they are quarters,
-they indicate the receipt of a small sum of
-money, and the acquisition of some new friends;
-but if they are half-dollars or dollars, they denote
-misery, a prison and failure in your undertakings,
-disappointment in your love, and loss
-of law-suits, attacks from thieves and bankruptcy
-in trade. If a woman with child dreams
-of silver, it shows she will have a girl, but the
-child will grow poor.</p>
-
-<p>Singing.&mdash;To dream you are singing shows
-that you will hear shortly some very melancholy
-news; to the lover, your sweetheart is
-bad tempered and unfaithful; to the tradesman,
-losses by sharpers. To dream that you only
-hear singing and merry making shows that
-you will have some agreeable news from a person
-long absent; if you are in a prison, it foretells
-you will speedily regain your liberty.</p>
-
-<p>Tombs.&mdash;To dream of being amongst the
-tombs denotes a speedy marriage, great success
-in business, and the gaining of a lawsuit; also
-the birth of children, and unexpected news.</p>
-
-<p>Treasure.&mdash;To dream you find a treasure in
-the earth is very ominous; it shows that you
-will be betrayed by your bosom friend; your
-sweetheart is unfaithful and deceives you; if
-you should not be able to carry it away, you
-will have some very heavy losses; if you have<span class="pagenum">[14]</span>
-lawsuit it will go against you by the treachery
-of your attorney.</p>
-
-<p>Trees.&mdash;To dream you see trees in blossom
-denotes a happy marriage with the present object
-of your affections, and many children who
-will do extremely well in life; to the tradesman
-it denotes success in business. To dream you
-are climbing trees denotes that you will make
-a fortune, and rise to honors and dignities in
-the State. To dream you are cutting down
-trees foretells the death of a near relation or
-dear friend.</p>
-
-<p>Walking.&mdash;To dream you are walking in a
-dirty, muddy place foretells sickness and vexation;
-to the lover it denotes your sweetheart to
-be bad tempered and unfaithful; to the tradesman
-it foretells dishonest servants, and loss of
-goods by fire.</p>
-
-<p>Water.&mdash;To dream you are drinking water
-denotes great trouble and adversity; in trade,
-loss of business, and being arrested; to the
-lover it shows your sweetheart is false, prefers
-another, and will never marry you.</p>
-
-<p>Wedding.&mdash;To dream of being married, or
-at a wedding, is a very unfavorable dream, especially
-for lovers; it denotes the death of some
-dear friend or relation, with loss of property
-and severe disappointment.</p>
