within a short time.
To dream of seeing the dead, living and happy, signifies
you are letting wrong influences into your life, which
will bring material loss if not corrected by the assumption
of your own will force.
To dream that you are conversing with a dead relative,
and that relative endeavors to extract a promise from
you, warns you of coming distress, unless you follow
the advice given you. Disastrous consequences could
often be averted if minds could grasp the inner workings
and sight of the higher or spiritual self. The voice
of relatives is only that higher self taking form to
approach more distinctly the mind that lives near the
material plane. There is so little congeniality between
common or material natures that persons should depend
upon their own subjectivity for true contentment and
pleasure.
[52] Paracelsus says on this subject: ``It may
happen that the soul of persons who have died perhaps
fifty years ago may appear to us in a dream, and if
it speaks to us we should pay special attention to what
it says, for such a vision is not an illusion or delusion,
and it is possible that a man is as much able to use
his reason during the sleep of his body as when the
latter is awake; and if in such a case such a soul appears
to him and he asks questions, he will then hear that
which is true. Through these solicitous souls we may
obtain a great deal of knowledge to good or to evil
things if we ask them to reveal them to us. Many persons
have had such prayers granted to them. Some people that
were sick have been informed during their sleep what
remedies they should use, and after using the remedies,
they became cured, and such things have happened not
only to Christians, but also to Jews, Persians, and
heathens, to good and to bad persons.''
The writer does not hold that such knowledge is
obtained from external or excarnate spirits, but rather
through the personal Spirit Glimpses that is in man.--AUTHOR.
Death .[53]
To dream of seeing any of your people dead, warns you
of coming dissolution or sorrow. Disappointments always
follow dreams of this nature.
To hear of any friend or relative being dead, you will
soon have bad news from some of them.
Dreams relating to death or dying, unless they are due
to spiritual causes, are misleading and very confusing
to the novice in dream lore when he attempts to interpret
them. A man who thinks intensely fills his aura with
thought or subjective images active with the passions
that gave them birth; by thinking and acting on other
lines, he may supplant these images with others possessed
of a different form and nature. In his dreams he may
see these images dying, dead or their burial, and mistake
them for friends or enemies. In this way he may, while
asleep, see himself or a relative die, when in reality
he has been warned that some good thought or deed is
to be supplanted by an evil one. To illustrate: If it
is a dear friend or relative whom he sees in the agony
of death, he is warned against immoral or other improper
thought and action, but if it is an enemy or some repulsive
object dismantled in death, he may overcome his evil
ways and thus give himself or friends cause for joy.
Often the end or beginning of suspense or trials are
foretold by dreams of this nature. They also frequently
occur when the dreamer is controlled by imaginary states
of evil or good. A man in that state is not himself,
but is what the dominating influences make him. He may
be warned of approaching conditions or his extrication
from the same. In our dreams we are closer to our real
self than in waking life. The hideous or pleasing incidents
seen and heard about us in our dreams are all of our
own making, they reflect the true state of our soul
and body, and we cannot flee from them unless we drive
them out of our being by the use of good thoughts and
deeds, by the power of the spirit within us.

of their affairs, as they are likely to venture beyond
the laws of their State. For a preacher, this dream
is undeniable proof that he is over-zealous, and should
forebear worshiping God by tongue-lashing his neighbor.
To dream of the devil as being a large, imposingly dressed
person, wearing many sparkling jewels on his body and
hands, trying to persuade you to enter his abode, warns
you that unscrupulous persons are seeking your ruin
