The Science of Foretelling Future Events by Dreams.\n\n\nSince the world began, \u201ccoming events have cast shadows before,\u201d and\nmany of the important incidents in our lives are shown us in our dreams\nif we only understood their full interpretation.\n\nThe following are a few of the most certain signs, and can almost\ninvariably be relied upon. For dreams not mentioned here, a pleasant\ndream almost invariably indicates good health, successful ventures and\ngeneral prosperity, while evil dreams are forebodings of ill health and\nother troubles.\n\nAbuse.--To dream that you are abused and insulted is a certain sign\nyou will have a dispute with some person with whom you have business,\nand, after such a dream, you should be particularly careful to be as\ngentle and mild as possible, that you may not give those with whom\nyou have dealings any advantage over you; if you are in love, be\nassured that some one has attempted to injure you with the object of\nyour affections, and that they have in a great measure succeeded. You\nshould, therefore, after such a dream, be particularly attentive;\neradicate the unfavorable impressions that have been made; if you have\na lawsuit, keep a sharp lookout after your attorney, for such a dream,\nin that case, denotes that he is endeavoring to sell your cause; avoid\ntaking a journey by land, or a voyage by sea, for eight and forty\nhours, because such a dream forebodes accidents by travelling.\n\nAbraham.--To dream of Abraham denotes good fortune, accumulation of\nriches; in love, many rivals; in law, many difficulties, an increase in\nyour business. He may give you some valuable information how to avoid\ntrouble.\n\nAdam.--To dream of Adam is a particularly good omen, and brings good\nfortune to the dreamer.\n\nAdversary.--To dream you meet with an adversary denotes that you will\novercome some obstacle to your happiness; if you are a lover, you will\nconquer some powerful rival, and be happy in your love; your affairs\nare going on well; if you are in trade, an increase of business; if you\nquarrel, and he overcomes you, it is a good sign, for you will conquer\nall obstacles to your promotion, happiness and fortune; but, if you\nconquer him, then you will never rise to any great preferment by the\nmeans you are at present adopting; many things will miscarry with you,\nbut in general you will be fortunate.\n\nAcquaintance.--To dream you quarrel or fight with an acquaintance is\nunlucky; it forebodes a division amongst your own family, much to\nthe injury and prejudice of the dreamer; if you are in love, your\nsweetheart will prove unfaithful, and marry some one else; if you are\nin business, heavy loss will befall you, and you will disagree with\nsome of your best friends on the most trivial matters; if you have a\nlaw-suit, your attorney will neglect you, your witnesses will be tardy\nand backward, and finally you will lose your cause. Do not for some\ntime undertake a journey by land, or a voyage by sea, or enter into new\nundertakings, for you will be unsuccessful; leave, if you can, your\npresent place of residence, and, above all, avoid lending money, for\nyou will surely lose it, together with the friendship of those to whom\nyou lend it.\n\nAngels.--To dream you see angels in your sleep is a sure sign that one\nis near you, therefore be mindful of the rest of your dream, for it\nwill come to pass pretty accurately; should you dream you see an angel,\nor angels, then it denotes health, prosperity, and much happiness,\nwith many children who will turn out good. If you are in love, nothing\ncan be more favorable, and all your undertakings will prosper and be\nadvantageous to you.\n\nApparitions.--To dream you see a ghost, hobgoblin, spectre, and such\nkind of things, is of a very unfortunate nature, they denote vexation\nand disappointment; if you are in love, it is a certain sign of your\nnot being beloved in return. Some one is about to deceive you and\nyou are friendly with one who is your most inveterate enemy; do not\nundertake a journey, for it will be unfortunate for you; be careful of\ncontracting debts, for such a dream forebodes great trouble through\nsome one to whom you shall owe money.\n\nAsps.--To dream of asps denotes that you will become extremely rich,\nand have great quantities of money by you; if you are in love, it\nimports that your love will be returned, and that your sweetheart will\nbecome through your means extremely wealthy.\n\nBagpipes.--To dream of this instrument of Scottish music indicates\nthat the dreamer will experience great trouble, and that he will labor\nto little purpose; in love, it denotes that the marriage state will\nbe full of cares, and that you will in it experience much poverty and\ndistress.\n\nBasin.--To dream you are eating or drinking out of a basin is a certain\nsign that you will soon be in love, but without great care you will not\nmarry the first object of your affections; it denotes prosperity in\nyour trade; and to the farmer, a good crop.\n\nBathing.--To dream you are bathing yourself in clear water denotes\nhappiness, prosperity, and success in love; if the water is dirty, then\nit foretells shame and sorrow, and a disappointment in love.\n\nBeans.--To dream of beans is an unfavorable dream, it is the forerunner\nof troubles and quarrels; if you are in love, expect a difference\nbetween you and your sweetheart.\n\nBees.--To dream of them has a variety of interpretations according to\ntheir different situations.
