the bed; then he openeth the ears of men and
sealeth their instruction that he may withdraw
man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.''
−−Job xxxiii., 15.
PREFACE.
``Dreams are rudiments of the great state to come.
We dream what is about to happen.''−−BAILEY,
The Bible, as well as other great books of historical and revealed religion, shows traces of a general and
substantial belief in dreams. Plato, Goethe, Shakespeare and Napoleon assigned to certain dreams prophetic
value. Joseph saw eleven stars of the Zodiac bow to himself, the twelfth star. The famine of Egypt was
revealed by a vision of fat and lean cattle. The parents of Christ were warned of the cruel edict of Herod, and
fled with the Divine Child into Egypt.
Pilate's wife, through the influence of a dream, advised her husband to have nothing to do with the conviction
of Christ. But the gross materialism of the day laughed at dreams, as it echoed the voice and verdict of the
multitude, ``Crucify the Spirit, but let the flesh live.'' Barabbas, the robber, was set at liberty.
The ultimatum of all human decrees and wisdom is to gratify the passions of the flesh at the expense of the
spirit. The prophets and those who have stood nearest the fountain of universal knowledge used dreams with
more frequency than any other mode of divination.
Profane, as well as sacred, history is threaded with incidents of dream prophecy. Ancient history relates that
Gennadius was convinced of the immortality of his soul by conversing with an apparition in his dream.
Through the dream of Cecilia Metella, the wife of a Consul, the Roman Senate was induced to order the
temple of Juno Sospita rebuilt.
The Emperor Marcian dreamed he saw the bow of the Hunnish conqueror break on the same night that Attila
died.
Plutarch relates how Augustus, while ill, through the dream of a friend, was persuaded to leave his tent,
which a few hours after was captured by the enemy, and the bed whereon he had lain was pierced with the
enemies' swords.
If Julius Caesar had been less incredulous about dreams he would have listened to the warning which
Calpurnia, his wife, received in a dream.
Croesus saw his son killed in a dream.
Petrarch saw his beloved Laura, in a dream, on the day she died, after which he wrote his beautiful poem,
``The Triumph of Death.''
Cicero relates the story of two traveling Arcadians who went to different lodgings−−one to an inn, and the
other to a private house. During the night the latter dreamed that his friend was begging for help. The dreamer
awoke; but, thinking the matter unworthy of notice, went to sleep again. The second time he dreamed his
friend appeared, saying it would be too late, for he had already been murdered and his body hid in a cart,
under manure. The cart was afterward sought for and the body found. Cicero also wrote, ``If the gods love
men they will certainly disclose their purposes to them in sleep.''

Chrysippus wrote a volume on dreams as divine portent. He refers to the skilled interpretations of dreams as a
true divination; but adds that, like all other arts in which men have to proceed on conjecture and on artificial
rules, it is not infallible.
Plato concurred in the general idea prevailing in his day, that there were divine manifestations to the soul in
sleep. Condorcet thought and wrote with greater fluency in his dreams than in waking life.
Tartini, a distinguished violinist, composed his ``Devil's Sonata'' under the inspiration of a dream. Coleridge,
through dream influence, composed his ``Kubla Khan.''
The writers of Greek and Latin classics relate many instances of dream experiences. Homer accorded to some
dreams divine origin. During the third and fourth centuries, the supernatural origin of dreams was so
generally accepted that the fathers, relying upon the classics and the Bible as authority, made this belief a
doctrine of the Christian Church.
Synesius placed dreaming above all methods of divining the future; he thought it the surest, and open to the
poor and rich alike.
Aristotle wrote: ``There is a divination concerning some things in dreams not incredible.'' Camille
Flammarion, in his great book on ``Premonitory Dreams and Divination of the Future,'' says: ``I do not
hesitate to affirm at the outset that occurrence of dreams foretelling future events with accuracy must be
accepted as certain.''
Joan of Arc predicted her death.
Cazotte, the French philosopher and transcendentalist, warned Condorcet against the manner of his death.
People dream now, the same as they did in medieval and ancient times.
The following excerpt from ``The Unknown,''[1] a recent book by Flammarion, the French astronomer,
supplemented with a few of my own thoughts and collections, will answer the purposes intended for this
book.
[1] ``From `The Unknown.' Published by Harper Brothers Copyright, 1900, by Camille Flammarion.''
``We may see without eyes and hear without ears, not by unnatural excitement of our sense of vision or of
hearing, for these accounts prove the contrary, but by some interior sense, psychic and mental.
``The soul, by its interior vision, may see not only what is passing at a great distance, but it may also know in
advance what is to happen in the future. The future exists potentially, determined by causes which bring to
pass successive events.
``POSITIVE OBSERVATION PROVES THE EXISTENCE OF A PSYCHIC WORLD, as real as the world
known to our physical senses.
``And now, because the soul acts at a distance by some power that belongs to it, are we authorized to
conclude that it exists as something real, and that it is not the result of functions of the brain?
``Does light really exist?
``Does heat exist?
