deceive and injure you through the unconscious abetting

own serious illness or some business worry from bad
judgment may ensue. The voice is an echo thrown back

life and the devotion of friends is before you.

denotes a chaste life and an adoring husband. If she
crossed the canal on a bridge over clear water and gathers

danger of foreign intrusion, from which our youth will
suffer from the perils of war.

will be a soldier's wife and will have to bid him godspeed
as he marches in defense of her and honor.
The reader will have to interpret dreams of this character

dream of rowing in muddy waters. If the waters are shallow
and swift, a hasty courtship or stolen pleasures, from
which there can be no lasting good, are indicated.
Shallow, clear and calm waters in rowing, signifies
happiness of a pleasing character, but of short duration.

supposed to be needed, especially in the hour of temptation,
then we find ourselves dreaming of him as a warning
against approaching evil.
