Dreams.

A writer in Bo0 Bells says Dreams
of nuptials are considered to portend q
funeral. The extraction of a firm and
sound tooth signifies the loss of a heal
and dear friend but i the tooth should
be decsyed and painful, this dream
promises deliverance from a secret and
deadly enemy. If such firmly built
things as a house or city appear to be
shaFd DIT it ana omen of exile or COM
noulon in the state. Two candles sig
Nifty breaches of friendship and dissen-
lions. Dreams of hares signify fight /;
of dogs. quarrels ; Of sheep, wealth, un-
less they should be shorn or diseased /;
the Growing of a cock denotes victory,
unless anyone should interrupt it, then
it is an omen that the victory, which
was on the eve of being obtained, will
be lost.
The rising sun denotes increase of
wealth and splendor; the setting sun
the contrary. A dream of the full
moon is n of veIy bad omen. for it
signifies that immediate misfortunes
and decrease of greatness will follow.
Dreams of the eclipse of the sun or
oon predict an intermission of proc
perity, but that it will again return.
Whoever dreams that his hair is pulled,
it is a warning that something will hap
pen by which his pride will have a fall.
The loss Of a hat has at one time been
interpreted as an omen Of disgrace, at
another as protection from some injury;
but the loss of q cloak, &C., is a sure
sign that poverty will succeed wealth.
To dream that the pillow is dragged
from our bed signifies that somsthing
will happen by which our rest will be
disturbed.
Whoever dreams that he is smoking
tobacco has a warning that he will turn
his wealth into smoke. The best omened
dreams are those in which the dreamer
fancies himself carried gently through
the air, for they forrtell increase OF dig.
nifty or a happy death. To dream that
handsome shoes are presented by a
friend isa warning of timely fiight;bnt if
anyone in his sleep searches for boots
OF shoes without finding them it fore
tells that when in great danger he will
be prevented from escaping. Whoever
dreams that some n puts a clowns
cloak on him, or covers his face with
-four, a mask, ETC., must be cautious
lest a more cunning man than himself
should deceive him and then laugh ut
his simplicity. A dream in which a
person seems to follow a cross in some
public procession is a Specification that
he will be prosecuted on account Of his
religion.
If anyone dreams of a violent knock
ing at his door, or that his ear is pulled,
it is a warning OF approaching death.
no. an omen of his death, because who
ever dreams that he is dead also Dire ms
that he sees or speaks after Lis death;
but to dream that our curtains are
drawn aside by a man lately dead is an
intimation of the death of some neal
relation.
A man having dreamt that an egg
was buried beneath his bed, went to
consult a conjuror, who told him there
was a treasure concealed under his bed.
The man dug and discovered a quantity
of silver, in the middle of which there
was gold. He ran in ecstasies to the
c~onjuror, offering some pieces of silver
as a reward upon which the conjuror
said do you give me none of the
yolk of the egg 2' meaning that he ex-
pected some of the gold also. This
dream is related by Cicero, "De Divins-
%tione,' lbro primo also by Valerius
Maximus.
The dream of Guntramnus, King Of
the Franks, is very remarkable. This
good king, who was ~passionately fond
of hunting, having one day separated
from the whole Of his train except n
servant, and night coming on while in
the midst of a thick wood, he sat down
on the b9nx of a stream, and being ex-
tremely weary, fell asleep on the bosom
of his servant. The servant keeping
watch. and having his eyes steadfastly
fixed on the c~ountenance of his master,
he saw a very small animal of the lizard
species issue from the mouth OF the
king, and make for the stream, which
it seemed anxious to pass then the
.ssrvant, stretching out his sword,
formed a sort of bridge, over which the
reptile passed and having entered .
cav at the foot Of the mountain oppO-
site, remained there a few minutes, and
then coming out, pasaed over the same
bridge, and entered again into the
mouth of the King, who just then
awakening, said that he had dreamt
that he had passed over an iron bridge,
and having entered a cave, found there
a vast heap of riches. Then the ser
want having related what he had wit
messed, they both entered the cave by
the way the beast had pointed out, and
found there a great treasure.
