Meaning Of Dream

There are three pure types of dreams, namely,

_subjective_, _physical_ and _spiritual_. They relate to

the past, present and future, and are influenced by past

or subjective, physical and spiritual causes.

The latter is always deeply prophetic, especially when it

leaves a vivid impression on the conscious mind. The

former, too, possesses an element of warning and

prophecy, though the true meaning is hidden in symbols

or allegory. They are due to contingent mental pictures of

the past falling upon the conscious mind of the dreamer.

A woman may dream of receiving a letter, and in the

same connection see muddy water, or an arid landscape.

Closely following, in waking life, she is astonished to

receive a letter in about the same manner of her dream,

but the muddy water and the arid landscape are missing.

This is a mixed dream and is due to more than one

cause. The first part is literal in its fulfilment, and belongs

to the spiritual class; the other part of the dream is

subjective, and therefore allegorical in meaning. Together

with the letter, it was a forewarning of misfortune.

These dreams are more difficult of interpretation than

those belonging to the spiritual type. In such dreams you

may see water, letters, houses, money, people, and

countless other things. The next day you may cross water

or receive a letter; the other things you may not see, but

annoyance or pleasure will follow.
