JOHN-A-DREAMS
VII. WHEN THE ELEMENTS DIS
 TURF YOUR SLUMBER.

you tlaG Tn seeking the mean ing of such dreams. only the actual weather conditions are to be con- sidered and not the incidents con nected with them or the things you may do as you pass through these experiences. Still, there are cxcep- tions.
 storms. in general. mean great danger to your peace of mind if you are a woman. to your business if you are man. This is particularly true if you gain the impression that it is an early morning. hour, and there is red in the sky:
 A red morn that ever yet betokn'd Wreck to the seaman. tempest to the
 field
 Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto
 the birds,
 Gust and foul flaws to herdsmen and
 the herds.
 Yet. some who profess to know, claim that if those who are in trouble or in poverty dream of storms or of a 'red morn" better fortune will soon cheer them.
 If the storm is accompanied by lightning, if lightning flashes through the sky even without the uproar Of the elements, a complete change will come into the sleeper's life. If the bolt strikes something, a tree. a house or other large object, the dreamer will change his dwelling place and enter upon an era of great prosperity. If the flash disappears without reaching earth, he will make the change just the same. but will have reason to regret it. and he will be glad to return to the former more modest mode of living. If the bolt strikes hrroan r,anoro that a most surprising event will come into the life of a very near friend. If it blows up the ground the dream CT will soon stand at newly dug grave.
 Winds of all sorts, light or heavy, so long as they do not assume the aspect of a storm. are harhingers of glad news and the louder their noises seem to ring in your ears the more lasting will be the pleasant happen ings of which they are messengers: We wait for thy coming, sweet wind of the south,
 For the touch of thy light wing, the
 kiss of thy mouth; For the yearly evangel thou bearest
 from God.
 Resurrection and life to the graves
 of the sod.
 
 quarrels. Having dreamt of it, it will be we'll for you to avoid all ar guments in your home or immediate business circle, because you will be the loser in any contention. Snow, on the other hand, is a sign of mer- riment to come. Still, if you find yourself walking with difficulty through drifts, the dream means that unpleasant obstacles will cause you annoyance.
 Rain provides most of the eXcep- tions which necessitate a combination of your own actions with the weather in order to arrive at correct inter- pretations. If you watch the down pour from a window. from a door | or other protecting enclosure, you will be witness to or participate in 1 a most important event. If you mere I ly hear the rain batter: How it clatters along the roofs, Like the tramp of hoofs. ! How it gushes and struggles out [ From the throat of the over1owing spout You will, in a day or two after this | dream. overhear a gossipy converse I ton which will open your eyes to l the real character of two or more 1 persons whom you foolishly consid- cred your friends. If you are out 1n l the rain and become drenched; you l will suffer a slight injury. If you ! remain dry you will sustain an an moving loss, such as that of a piece l of jewelry. If the rain forms large puddles and you wade through them. you must guard carefully against ! illness and not venture out in incle- ment weather; for though you may seem perfectly we'll, your health is not of the best and needs watching. To dream of ugly weather of any sort, with a sudden breaking of the sun through the clouds. is a sign of a hope. long deferred come true at last:
 The glorious sun plays the alcherist Turning with splendor of his precious eye,
 1 The mean and clotty earth to gilt
 tering gold.
 Pleasant weather, balmy winds. ,unclouded skies or the general at- mosphere of spring. invariably mean that whatever clouds have darkened your days are about to disappear, and joy. contentment and peace will be your lot for many days to come.
