.lnru REJECTS the wish theory alto

.lnru rejects the wisn theory alto
getrcr.
The Freulian school would explain
Il dream of Adam and Eve as the
coming to life in our dream conscious
ness Of IL longing for a return to the
state of innocence and bliss q our
first parents, for paradise. as an at
tempt of the dream ego to "eome 10
the guarded gate and softly smuggle
through where the wreath Of Hve lies
red on the turf as she left It long
ago" Ellis would accept this expia-
nation with doubt while others would
declare that the dream was snly
more or less distorted recollection OF
something which we had seen. heard
or read during the day.
The mystics. however, rejecting the
theories of the scientists, boldly pro-
claim the prophetic symbolism OF the
dream. TO them to dream of Adam
and Eve means many good things COM
ing to you, including u birth In the
family. Adam seems to play the prin-
cipnl part in this dream. Watch his
face. If he has good-natured look
success is yours in love and business.
To the farmer 1t means abundant
crops and high prices. 1t would up
pear as If most farmers had had this
dream of late. If you have lawsuit
on hand you will win. If Adam looks
displcased be very cautious In your
affairs, for others are seeking to do
you mischief. though by being careful
YOU will get the better of them. Don't
take sea voyage for month or two.
Singularly enough, perhaps from an
association of the birthplace of the
human race with our own, this dream
is an omen that success is coming to
YOU in your native town and you
should not leave it for other scenes
of activity. If you are away from
your native town return there; for
there lies your fortune.
1t is Il good dream anyway whether
a dream-fultilled longing for paradise
or an omen of home and prosperity.
