JOHN-A-DREAMS
Rushing Waters. Restless Waves.

meaning of water and waves. So com mon are dreams that bring us in con- tact with the wet element that they form a considerable portion of our night visions. In fact. their signifi- canoe is such that the interpretations refer to nearly every phase of everyday life One of the most beautiful and happy dreams takes the sleeper to the seashore and while the eye watches the white-capped breakers the ear drinks in the oceans mellow voices. The waves arc full of whispers wild
 and sweet:
 They call to mc-incessantly
 Wild an" sweet indeed. for these sights and sounds presage happiness ,n love. Whether old or young. man or woman, rhe bliss of heart S-case IS the drenniors lot for the timn Eo'rs. Should storm arise, whipping up tEc ocean'S waters, a misunde rStardng WI: mar tho sweet experience, but t.e interruption will not last.
 If you have seen a river in your dream. recall, as you awaken. whether its water was clear or muddy. The former, especially if the current was swift. means that you are being car ried by the force of circumstances to- wards events which will demand quick decision on your part and the dream urges you not to hesitate but to act with inflexibe determination. If the water is muddy, you are being warned that your efforts to solve the most im- portant problem which confronts you at the time are wrong and that noth- ing short of complete change in your methods will lead to the better results you seek.
 If you are swimming and your stroke remains strong, the one of opposite sex towards whom your heart inclines will remain true to you, even though suspi- cious or deceptive circumstances may have created doubts in your mind about his or her loyalty. But if you seem in danger Of drowning you may well make up your mind that no man. ner of sacrifice or devotion will ever suffice to make the heart of your loved one completely yours.
 If a man sees a small river gliding swiftly along, this signifies that he will soon marry a pretty maiden, and if the dreamer is a married man. that ahis wife loves him better than he knows and that he should reward her affections with great devotion. To a
 
 man who is destined to make her hap py will soon ask her to be his wife, and to married woman, that her hus- band will love her better and more as time goes on. Such a river
 knows the way to sea.
 Without pilot it runs and falls.
 Blessing all lands with it's charity.
 If you dream that river runs right through your room. a baffling mystify- ing, frightening event will soon come into your life. You must be prepared for the unexpected, you must steel your nerves to bear shock.
 O! River darkling River Gliding on,
 Thine is a mystery that never rests
 Even while the living sIumber.
 In general way, to dream of water refers to unexpected domestic events. To sec a bath, signifies guests. To take one. a slight illness. To plunge your hands into water is a sign of disturb ance. To drink water signifies a mar riage or birth in your family. To spill water is a warning to guard your words because you are about to say OI ICNGdl SolHelHlIlS you DeIteE keep to yourself. To have water splash on you is an omen of small gains and to find yourself sporting in water in company with others, whether it be the ocean, a river, lake or pool, is certain forerunner of a jolly oc- cason.
 If you dream of falling into water then swim on to shore, a happy thought will strike you which will re- suit in much profit. If, after the plunge, you feel yourself drowning you will sustain a severe money joss. If you see waterfall you will take an unexpected and pleasant trip, and if your vision shows you one or more very small and narrow brooks, some one plans to surprise you with a pleas ant visit
 Dreams referring to trips water and to things that happen during these trips belong into an entirely diff ferent class and of these I will speak some other time.
