DREAMS OF StfNDay

Some time ago explained the
 meaning of dreams in which holidays
 figure, and today shall speak of
 those in which the sleeper gains the | impression that it is Sunday. There
 are times when the event. whatever
 1t may be, seems to predominate and ] the impression that it is Sunday is l only vague. At others again, the ! knowledge that it is Sunday seems to overshadow the dream story.
 Whichever way the vision may come,
 does not matter. So long as the idea l of it being Sunday is conveyed, the i interpretations given here hold good l If you dream that you are spending
 your Sunday in mildly pleasant way, in company. in play or in happy
 chat, you will receive a new garment most likely rather elaborate gown i or dress; or perhaps. you will plan to
 buy or make one. The question
 whether it will come as gift Or
 through your own effort and expense l is rather hard to determine; but this
 detail is minor. anyway.
 When your dream of Sunday shows i you engaged in an unpleasant occu-
 patton, or in the midst of quarrels, a dear friend, in whom you have had
 unlimited confidence, will do you an ill turn. In all probability, it will be
 an intimate of your own sex and for
 long time thereafter you will be in i doubt whether you may ever be able to trust her or him again.
 Both these interpretations refer to
 dream Sunday experiences without
 specially impressive incidents. They must be pitched in a minor key to permit the application of these inter- pretations.
 It is quite different with dream episodes of apparently greater sig nificance. When you have dreams of
 Sunday which deeply agitate you, tho | iNt, O "A
 month from the day of the vision, the event of which you have dreamed l will come to pass in some modified form.
 To fully understand the slgnifi- canoe of this, you must bear in mind that dreams rarely mean the things they show, but that they are mostly allegorical. You will have realized
 this long ago. of course, by reading
 my interpret tattons. But just so soon
 as the impression of Sunday becomes mingled into the dream, just so soon ture. Naturally, the event as 1t will
 transpire in life, cannot be exactly like the dreams foreshadowed epi
 sode. Dreams, as yous well know. have a knack of becoming Jumb bled, and those who have read my an
 swers to dream questions will ap- preciate that I always find it neces-
 sary to eliminate great portions of dreams, confining my interpretation strictly to the predominating sub jects. Your mind, freed from the fet- ters of waking surroundings. is likely to play many odd and meaningless tricks; and it is the duty of the .inter- preter to separate them from the really significant visions. In the case of dreams of Sunday you must make that separation yourselves; un-
 less. of course, you care to write to me.
 Several of my readers have asked
 me whether there is a special signifi- canoe in a dream being interrupted by a spell of wakefulness, 1t being continued in the second slumber of the same night. There is not. Of l course, at times two dreams come in
 one night, one before and one after
 the wakeful moments. In such ln 1 event both may have significance
 Where there is 8 continuation, the
 second portion of the dream must be
 assumed to belong to the first part | The only trouble about such visions is
 that the period of waking may have
 deprived you of some important incl
 dents which would have become clear
 to you had you slept and dreamt right
 through. For this reason. such inter-
 rupted dreams are not always relia- | ble. because they are likely to be in l complete.
