THE HEAD IN THE COAL BIN.


The dreamer had gone down into
the basement to fix the furnace for the
night.
Fixing the furnace" is a rite. a
something that must be done, a neces-
sary prelude TO sleep in thousands Of
households.
This evening the dreamer was sleepy.
He had to rub his eyes as he opened
the feed door. in order TO assure him.

as burning Goals sometimes will.
The dreamer went heavily over to the
coal bin.
The air seemed languid.
He seized the shovel. and dug 1t into
the pile.
Up came the instrument. coal rolling

And as the man raised his figure
upright, with the shovel swinging cas-

THE ARABIAN HORSES.

The dreamer sat on the top OF tall
tower made OF ladders curiously placed.
With him was a horse trainer. while
far below the beautiful chargers, full
blooded Arabian steeds, curvetted on
the plain.
up. Arabians, up!" commanded the
trainer.
The horses wheeled in a body and
made for the ladders. up which they
began TO climb. each horse placing his
fore.eet on one ladder and his hind
feet on another.
Finally all were at the top. except
five or six which refused to come any
higher. These simply went TO sleep on
the rungs.
THE TURTLE RAILROAD.
This railway. on which the dreamer
vas riding, had boards for track and
turtles for trains. One passenger &C.
cupied each car.
The fare vas a bite from turtle,
and the road kept st. Bernard dogs 70

When the trains finally came to the
station the turtles vanished and the
passengers found themselves in minia-

II talk Of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle

Il talk OF dreams,
Which are the children of an idle
brain.
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air
And more inconstant than the wind"
Romeo and Juliet.
Thus Shakespeare expressed the old
idea of dreams. but the ancient peoples
did not believe so, nor do modern pSy-
biologists.
A psychiatrist of today would say, at
is very pretty poetry, Mr.. Shakespeare,
but it is not true. Dreams. far from
being thin fantasy merely. are solid sig
nal flags, flung to the breeze by the
unconscious. and easily read by those
who know how"
In order to allow those who may be
interested in dreams to exercise theft
ability as analysts land also to exercise
their imagination. for there is a vast
amount of it used in these modern in
terpretations), we present here six
dream stories which have come to our
attention in the past few months.
All of these dreams were dreamed by
high-class. intelligent men and women,
who either expressed horror or amuse-
ment at their dream vagaries. and were
utterly at loss to explain" them.
Many dreams. as every one knows,
are the result of some chance sight or
word, carried into dreamland either
consciously or unconsciously. "Oh.
know what made me dream that" one
says
Just why, however, he dreamed as he
did is entirely another matter. The six
following dreams fall into two groups,
the horrible and the pleasant. There
are four of the former and a brace OF
the latter.
