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.

you will be in a dangerous position.  You may have recourse

If it is with her husband's friend, she will be unjustly ignored

by her husband.  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.

will be an easy prey for flatterers and designing villains.

You will be unfortunate in manipulating your affairs to

a smooth consistency.

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.

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.

Affront.

 

This is a bad dream.  The dreamer is sure to shed tears and weep.

For a young woman to dream that she is affronted, denotes that some

unfriendly person will take advantage of her ignorance to place

her in a compromising situation with a stranger, or to jeopardize

her interests with a friend.

 

Affluence.[14]

 

To dream that you are in affluence, foretells that you will make

fortunate ventures, and will be pleasantly associated with

people of wealth.  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.

to the dreamer.

Cannon.

 

This dream denotes that one's home and country are in danger

of foreign intrusion, from which our youth will suffer from

and will have to bid him godspeed as he marches in defense of her and honor.

 

The reader will have to interpret dreams of this character

Shallow, clear and calm waters in rowing, signifies happiness

of a pleasing character, but of short duration.

false promises.  If priest or preacher is a spiritual adviser

and his services are supposed to be needed, especially in

the hour of temptation, then we find ourselves dreaming of him

as a warning against approaching evil.

 

Cards.

meet with fair realization of hopes that have long buoyed you up.

in difficulties of a serious nature.

Disastrous consequences could often be averted if minds could grasp

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 upon their own subjectivity for true

contentment and pleasure.

 

 

[52] Paracelsus says on this subject:  ``It may happen that the soul of

persons who have died perhaps fifty years ago may appear to us in a dream,

and if it speaks to us we should pay special attention to what it says,

for such a vision is not an illusion or delusion, and it is possible

that a man is as much able to use his reason during the sleep of his body

as when the latter is awake; and if in such a case such a soul appears

to him and he asks questions, he will then hear that which is true.

Through these solicitous souls we may obtain a great deal of knowledge

to good or to evil things if we ask them to reveal them to us.

Many persons have had such prayers granted to them.  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.
