DREAMS
BY DR. FRANK CRANE Copyright, 1921. by Frank Crane)

A dream is simply what may be called an erup- tion of the sub-consciousness.
 That is to say, ideas visions, emotions which present in us, but of which not conscious, up during sleep as submerged bodies rise to the surface of the sea-
 If we would keep in mind that we can dream no stuff that is not already in minds though hidden somewhere, we should be saved much superstition.
 Recently scientists have been making careful study of dreams guide to the treatment of neu- rosis.
 For dreaming is in a way, symptom of dis ease It is a species of morbidlty Absolutely healthy people do not dream. As very few of us, however, 100 per cent normal there are very few who never dream.
 From this it has arisen that people have from remote antiquity had idea that dreams mean" something; that they foretell events and that they are the result of spirit communication.
 Previous to the of modern science the 'in- depreciation" of dreams was recognized profession.
 As matter of fact dreams mean nothing and they furnish nothing interpret except the physical condition of the dreamer.
 The whole mass of arbitrary dream signs and symbols is pure bosh
 The most generally accepted theory now among intelligent persons is that dream is merely the out let of some desire that has been suppressed.
 In the lives of all of us there subjects that for one reason another we repress. Sometimes it is longing which not able or not willing to gratify.
 In the period of adolescence for instance, the body is full of the rising tide of vrity Nature is equipping youth with the powers of reproduction. The natural desires that accompany this stage of de- velopment quite properly held in subjection by the moral nhibtions. The result is often distress ing dreams.
 Many young people are alarmed at this and are tempted to think they are very wicked. This self despisal often leads to unfortunate results.
 But they should give themselves no uneasiness. The dreams will disappear in time And if they are not dwelt upon in waking moments, they will become less and less annoying.
 reliable authority states as follows:
 Dreams are never prophetic except by accident. To dream the winner of horse no more proves the prophetic value of your dream than the chance picking of winner in your waking consciousness proves the prophetic value of your conscious thought It is merely fortuitous coincidence.
 ''Nor is that horses victory the origin of your dream beforehand. More likely the origin is a.. possibly unconscous-wish that something like that result might happen. | "Neurologists for the most part rule out telep- athy in connection with dreams.
 If you dream of you have not con- scously thought of for years and unexpectedly meet him the next day, you not to conclude that your dream was influenced by his near neighborhood or even by his thinking about you at the time.
 "The meaning of dream is seldom what 1t ap- pears to be the surface; the obvious interpreta tion is not often the correct one. And for that son the attempt to interpret dreams by people other than those who have qualified by long and patient study scientific lines is likely to result in nothing but ignorant and totally misleading guesswork.e
