SINGULAR DREAMS.
A MAN WHO HAD TEEN ASKS FOR
THEIR INTERPRETATION.

Very sore-On the sea of Calilec.
Dreams are not without significance,
especially to those who have high set
nnrpose in life. And as this subject is
of interest to many / viii relate
series ST dreams in my own experience
to which possibly some one can give a
clearer Interpretation than l.
Having been taken very i'll in winter /
and this being my second attack, all |
my friends ard associate physicians said |
I was at deaths door and it was not |
possible for me to recover. 1t meant |
but a few hours, or days at the most.

it all the idea was firmly rooted in my
mind that "there is more life for me,
and cannot. J. will not 20.
There followed four days Of complete
darkness, and when little natural
sleep came it was accompanied each
night for three weeks By dream OF my
encounter with some vicious animal
beginning with q bull, then boar and
next a large mastif. This order never
varied. When the bull came toward me,
l easily and quickly vaulted the fence
as he pinned it below me- In my en-
counter with the boar / grabbed him by
the throat and threw him on his back,
thus getting safely away tNoxt morn
ing the Liceps and supinators Of my arm
were so sore that they had TO lee rub
bed). Next the mastif approached. /
/ quickly graspod him by the larnyx till
! could get hold Of his tongue. This
/ grip seemed 10 affect the muscles Of my
wrist and hand alone, which were just
as sore and stiff as formerly.
After the expiration of The three
weeks l had no dreams whatever for q
few nights. When they returned, / be-
came moro and more worried, until,
after the last one something said TO
me: "This is good, not evil. You are
surely a conqueror. " However, not
much physical improvement was visi-
bic.
In the next dream 1 saw n blue and
white light growing into "a crown, in
which the word Power" in bright let
ters was inclosed. This seemed TO give
me hope, also strength and courage, and
I felt somewhat better.
Three nights later dreamed of being
on the lake Of Galilee, in the boat
with Christ and his disciples, and such
a picture as lay before me is hard to de-
scribe. The disciples seemed agitated,
the sea was rough, and the boat frail
yet / was calm. The disciples looked at
me and then at the sleeping Christ, but
did not speak, was half reclining,
but why so calm / knew not Presently
the spokesman of the group arose and
whispered to the rest, and as they all
got up he touched Christ and said,
Master, carest thou not that we per
ishy' Christ face, as he arose and re-
buked them, wore an expression of min
gled gentleness, sternness and pity.
was thrilled as he held out his hand
with q graceful movement and said
"Peace. be still. " Then came a re
markable oalm-a beautiful sunset on Z
sea of glass.
Iawo1e feeling much better and with
strong hope My Improvement was very
noticeable from this time forward
Then camc a lull, which was followed
by dreams OF a different character FOL
another period of three weeks. l hearC
glorious music by a full voiced choir
commencing regularly at sunset anC
continuing until 1 was soothed asleep
1 felt more vigorous after this expe
riencc Then, for the three weeks
I saw only a beautiful blue and whit
light just as fell asleep.
AS 1 went abont, obliged to mingl
in tho affairs of daily life, 1 had n
dreams for quite awhile, being some
what worried by husiness and othe
cares Finally my Will again asserte
itself. Then began. lasting for thre
weeks, a series Of wonderful tcxts am
sayings, which were given TO me by
voice sufficiently audible to arouse IN
in the morning. They would frequent
~ ring in my cars all day. This seeme
to give me power over myself and 9th
ers. Then 1 began to get messages an
7 impressions from friends at a distance.
Lastly, approaching my Office on
morning after leaving the car, I SCENE
overwhelmed by condition in whic
