JOHN-A-DREAMS

Never fear when your dream brings you a vision of being hurt, even though sensation akin to phy- slumber. Of course. in recalling such a vision and seeking for it's | meaning, be quite certain that you are not suffering from some real hurt, for in that case your dream was merely the mental reflection, distorted perhaps, but actual never thcless, of the injury from which you suffer In fact, dreams which come to us while we are i'll or otherwise l in pain, must never be constructed to mean anything:
 A susfring body racks a peaceless mind,
 Nor rest, nor sleep nor soothing music will
 Ease our soul if heart or head are i'll. The hurts whereof speak are ipurely Pigments of the mind. crea- tions of the imagination. Dream of | a bleeding wound, and you may be sure that great surprise, joyful and lasting, will follow before the dawn ling day is over. If the wound was made by a bullet. you may know that | the surprise will be connected with valuable gift if by a knife the pres 1 ent will come from a hand you love. | If it is the result of an animals at ttack you will come safely out of dan ger. If a stone is thrown at you, you will be asked to be bridesmaid Cor best man) at a wedding. If you seem | to be wounded but cannot tell where, you have done an unjust thing and must make amends or else you your | self will suffer If you discover scar on your body, you will lose some trinket you value highly. Dreams that show blood but are not directly Iconnected with an injury to yourself
 or with one inflicted by you, belong Iinto a different class and will be dis cussed some other time.
 If you wound another in your dream, the nature of the injury does ! not count and only the victim is inn portant. A hurt inflicted upon your father or mother is a certain sign of | his or her illness and the fact that lyou seemed responsible for the injury ] is hint that you, and no one else, | has been chosen by Providence to watch over the health of your parent, | to prevent harm, if possible, to be | his or her nurse in case the i'll for | tune befalls. If it Is your husband | or lover who suffers at your hand | you are warned that all is not right with his affairs or with his peace of mind and that you must try to dis cover the sorrow he hides from you so that you may be able to soothes l and console and help him in his hour of need. Ingratitude which will hurt | you deeply, is indicated by hurt Inflicted upon your brother or sister lby your hand and if child is your lvictim then your mind has harbored evil thoughts and your dream coun- sells you to tear them from your soul ] ere they take possession of your whole being.
 1 To see many wounded people is vision of almost prophetic magnitude.
 It means war, pestilence or other great disaster. They say that, shortly
 before the Germans invaded Bel gium, thousands of old people in | France dreamed of seeing wounded
 men and injured women and children.
 The French newspapers made much
 of these incidents at the time, and I
 have heard that similar visions came
 to many aged persons in America be- fore our Civil war broke out. l I will tell you of Clothing in the
