Dream of skin
And your horse will win.

This is an old saying they have
down south among the negroes who
work around the great breeding
stables. There's bit of truth in the
darky hyme, for to have the rather
peculiar dream sensation of stroking
some ones skin is a sign of gain in
a rather odd way, an unexpected,
unusual way, and If the skin is very
white, then your advantage will be
considerable. IT, on the other hand
it is red and rough to the touch, You
Will have to labor hard before the
profit is yours.
The sudden sight of skin or flesh
indicates that the dreamer will in
the near future be called upon to
answer a categorical "Why?" If it is
the dreamer's own skin or flesh
which appears in the dream, she Cor
heb will have to give strict ac
counting for secret deed recently
done. If it is anothers that other
will have to answer the question:
why have YOU. why has she or why
has he, done thus or sou And the
question will not be asked by one
who has no right to demand an ~
PLANTATION, but by one whom 1t must
be given, who has it in his or her
power to punish for an untruth or to
s;.cn inc ,ances, means the pare.l soul.
The secrets of my heart I lay
Before thee for thy Judgment! and
my soul
Is barred and naked.
Having dreamed that your eyes are
unexpectedly attracted by the sight of
your own skin, resign yourself to the
necessity oil sincere confession. Like
wise. If the dream deals with another
advise him or her to prepare for the
reckoning. If, however. the person
who appears in this vision. is
stranger. then you will. as IL by ac-
guarded secret and unless you
act with much caution you may find
yourself involved in other peoples
troubles.
If the skin you see is raw. or red,
or unhealthy looking, or in any other
way badly blemished the meanings
just given do not apply. The omen
is then one of anger and strife, of
friction and unpleasantness, and the
only key as to more exact inter-
probation would lie in the appear
ance, age, or sex of the one whose
skin you see. You may, by careful
and logical thinking, deduce from
these minor signs the connection with
the particular person with whom, in
your waking hours, you are likely to
come into conflict
An excellent sign, however, is to
see naked child. The younger the
babe, the better the prophecy. 1t
ever means happiness and glad
things, smiles and joyous events.
If you touch skin and it feels
clammy, cold or wet, this means a
letter from one so long out of your
sight that you had considered him
completely out of your life. If the
skin seems to warm under your touch
and dreams in which 1t suddenly
seems to assume fever heat are not
rare-then the old friendship will not
only be resumed but 1t will ripen into
a deeper affection than you now
think possible. But if it remains cold,
the reunion will not be lasting.
Queerly colored skin, black, brown,
yellow or of still odder hue, Is har-
binger of unexpected news. As to
whether 1t will be good or bad, de-
ponds entirely upon the sensation
which grips your soul as you gaze
upon 1t. II you seem indifferent,
glad or repulsed. such, too. will be
your relation to the actual event.
In the next chapter / shall interpret
a dream.
Abrams will be glad to in
terpret dream experiences sent to the
editor of The Age Herald by its
readers. No replies will. however. be
given privately, and no fee will at
any time be asked or accepted. 1t is
distinctly understood that there can
be no guarantee when such questions
will be answered, though every eff
fort will be made to satisfy inuuirers
