BOOK SECOND. THE ANALYZATION AND INTERPRETATION OF DREAM S. The generality of mankind do not give much credit to Dreams ; yet considering that many strange accidents have been foretold by them, many mischiefs prevented, and many wickednesses detected, it may not be amiss to set down here what experience has observed concerning them. A dream is a motion or fiction of the soul, signifying either good or evil to come, and it dependeth on the character or class, as to whether it may signify its true meaning, or direct the contrary. We shall give, in this department, the experience of great philoso phers and astrologers during two centuries. Acquaintances. To dream that you fight with them signifies destruction; but especially if the person so dreaming be sick. Adversary. To dream that you receive obstructions from him, shows that you shall despatch your business speedily. Adultery. For a person to dream they have committed it, shows that they shall meet with great contentions and debates. But to dream that you resisted the temptation, shows victory over your enemies, and that you shall escape great danger. If a woman dream that her skin has become black, like a negro’s, it purports that she will be caught in the act of adultery. For a woman to dream that she is in bed with a black man, or a deformed person, foretells sickness. Air. To dream that you see it clear and serene, shows that you will be loved and esteemed ; and those who are your enemies, and envy you shall be reconciled to you. But to dream that the air is cloudy, dark, and troubled, is the reverse. Almonds. To dream one sees or eats almond^,aiguilles difficulty and trouble.
