than　the　Weather　Bureau。　　With　unerring　foresight；　when　a　wintry　frown　nowhere

mars　the　horizon；　he　is　able　to　apprehend　a　cold　wave　twenty…four　hours　ahead；

and　build　his　house　accordingly。



So　in　sleep；　man　dreams　the　future　by　intuitive　perception　of　invisible

signs　or　influences；　while　awake　he　reasons　it　out　by　cause　and　effect。

The　former　seems　to　be　the　law　of　the　spiritual　world；　while　the　latter

would　appear　to　be　the　law　of　the　material　world。　　Man　should　not　depend

alone　upon　either。　　Together　they　proclaim　the　male　and　female　principle

of　existence　and　should　find　harmonious　consummation。



In　this　manner　only　can　man　hope　to　achieve　that　perfect　normal

state　to　which　the　best　thought　of　the　human　race　is　aspiring；

where　he　can　create　and　control　influences　instead　of　being

created　and　controlled　by　them；　as　the　majority　of　us　are　at

the　present　day。



God；　the　highest　subjective　source　of　intelligence；　may　in　a

dream　leave　impressions　or　presentiments　on　the　mind　of　man；

the　highest　objective　source　of　intelligence。



The　physical　sun　sends　its　light　into　the　dark　corners　of　the　earth；

and　God；　the　Spiritual　Sun；　imparts　spiritual　light　into　the　passive

and　receptive　soul。



Man；　by　hiding　in　a　cave；　or　closing　the　windows　and　doors　of　his　house；

may　shut　out　all　physical　light；　so　he　may　steep　his　soul　in　sensual

debauchery　until　all　spiritual　light　is　shut　out。



Just　as　the　vital　essence　of　the　soil；　the　mother　of　nature；

may　be　extracted　by　abuse；　either　from　omission　or　commission；

until　neither　the　light　of　the　sun；　nor　the　moisture　of　the　heavens

will　wake　the　flush　of　life；　so　may　the　spiritual　essence

be　deadened　when　the　soil　of　the　soul　is　filled　with　the　aged

and　multiplying　weeds　of　ravishing　materiality。



The　dream　mind　is　often　influenced　by　the　waking　mind。

When　the　waking　mind　dwells　upon　any　subject；　the　dream　mind

is　more　or　less　influenced　by　it；　and　it　often　assists　the　waking

mind　in　solving　difficult　problems。　　The　personal　future；

embodied　in　the　active　states　of　the　universal　mind；

may　affect　the　dream　mind；　producing　premonitions　of　death；

accidents　and　misfortune。



The　objective　mind　rejoices　or　laments　over　the　aspects　of　the　past

and　present；　while　the　spiritual　mind；　striving　with　the　personal　future；

either　laments　or　rejoices　over　the　prospective　conditions。



One　is　the　barometer　of　the　past；　while　the　other　is　the　barometer

of　the　future。



If　we　study　carefully　the　spiritual　impressions　left　upon　the　dream　mind；

through　the　interpretations　of　this　book；　we　will　be　able　to　shape　our　future

in　accordance　with　spiritual　law。



Thus　our　temporal　events　will　contribute　to　our　spiritual　development；

and　in　turn　our　spiritual　knowledge　will　contribute　to　our　temporal　welfare。

Without　this　harmonious　interaction　of　the　two　great　forces　in　man；

the　Divine　plan　of　destiny　cannot　be　reached。



This　can　only　be　accomplished　through　the　material　mind

or　reason　dominating　the　animal　emotions　of　the　heart。

In　this　way　we　would　not　covet　our　neighbor's　goods；　or　grow

angry　with　our　brother　over　trifles。



The　house　vacated　by　the　sefish｛sic｝　appetites　of　the　world　would

be　filled　with　the　whispers　of　spiritual　love　and　wisdom　necessary

to　the　mutual　welfare　and　development　of　body　and　soul。



The　theory　used　in　this　book　to　interpret　dreams　is　both　simple　and　rational。

By　the　using　of　it　you　will　be　surprised　to　find　so　many　of　the　predictions

fulfilled　in　your　waking　life。　　We　deal　with　both　the　thought　and　the　dream。

The　thought　or　sign　implied　in　the　object　dreamed　of　and　the　influence

surrounding　it　are　always　considered　in　the　interpretation。



Thoughts　proceed　from　the　visible　mind　and　dreams　from　the　invisible　mind。

The　average　waking　mind　receives　and　retains　only　a　few　of　the　lessons

of　life。　　It　is　largely　filled　with　idle　and　incoherent　thoughts　that

are　soon　forgotten。　　The　same　may　be　truly　said　of　the　dream　mind。

Many　of　our　day　thoughts　are　day　dreams；　just　as　many　of　our　night　dreams

are　night　thoughts。　　Our　day　deeds　of　evil　or　good　pierce　or　soothe

the　conscience；　just　as　our　night　symbols　of　sorrow　and　joy　sadden　or　please

the　objective　senses。　　Our　day's　thoughts　are　filled　with　the　warnings

and　presence　of　the　inner　mind　and　our　night's　thoughts　are　tinctured

and　often　controlled　by　our　external　mind。



Some　writer　has　said：　　‘‘Everything　that　exists　upon　earth　has　its

ethereal　counterpart。''　　Christ　said：　　‘‘As　a　man　thinketh　so　is　he。''

A　Hindu　proverb　says：　　‘‘Man　is　a　creature　of　reflection；　he　becomes

that　upon　which　he　reflects。''　　A　modern　metaphysicist　says：

‘‘Our　thoughts　are　real　substance　and　leave　their　images　upon

our　personality；　they　fill　our　aura　with　beauty　or　ugliness　according

to　our　intents　and　purposes　in　life。''　　Each　evil　thought　or　action

has　its　pursuing　phantom；　each　smile　or　kindly　deed　its　guiding　angel；

we　leave　wherever　we　ignobly　stand；　a　tomb　and　an　epitaph　to　haunt

us　through　the　furnace　of　conscience　and　memory。



Closely　following　in　the　wake　of　our　multiplying　evil　thoughts　are　armies

of　these　ghastly　spectres　pursuing　each　other　with　the　exact　intents

and　purposes　of　the　mind　that　gave　them　being。　　If　we　consider　well　these

facts　we　will　be　forced　into　thinking　our　best　thoughts　at　all　times。

Thoughts　are　the　subjective　and　creative　force　that　produces　action。

Action　is　the　objective　effect　of　thought；　hence　the　character　of　our　daily

thoughts　is　making　our　failure　or　success　of　to…morrow。



The　impersonal　mind　deals　with　all　time　and　things　as　ever　present。

The　objective　mind　is　constantly　striving　to　penetrate

the　spiritual　realm；　while　the　spiritual　mind　is　striving　to

enter　matter；　hence　our　actions　have　their　subjective　counterparts

and　their　subethereal　counterparts。　　The　universal　mind；

in　harmony　with　the　evolutionary　plans　and　laws　of　the　macrocosms；

materializes　through　functions　of　the　microcosm；　imparting　to　each；

with　its　routine　of　failure　and　success；　its　daily　objectivity。

The　inner　or　passive　dream　mind　may　perceive　the　subjective　types

or　antitypes　many　days　before　they　objectify　through　the　microcosm。

Their　meaning　is　often　wrapt　in　symbols；　but　sometimes

the　actual　as　it　occurs　in　objective　life　is　conveyed。

Our　own　thought　images　which　have　passed　before　the　objective　mind

may　be　perceived　by　the　clever　mind　reader；　but　those　antitypes

which　are　affecting　our　future；　but　which　have　none　other

but　subjective　existence；　are　rarely　ever　perceived　by　any　one

except　by　the　power　of　the　higher　self　or　the　spirit　within。

For　this　reason　we　are　enjoined　by　the　sages　to　study　self。

With　the　physical　mind　we　only　see　physical　objects；

with　the　subjective　mind　we　see　only　subjective　objects。

This　was　Paul's　doctrine　and　it　is　the　belief　of　the　best

psychic　thought　of　this　century。　　By　means　of　our　reason

an　objective　process　for　divining　the　futureaided　by　mathematical

and　geographical　data；　we　may　outline　the　storm　centers　and　the　path

of　the　rain　days　before　they　appear　in　certain　localities。

After　eliminating　all　contingencies　arising　from　clerical

error　and　counteracting　influence；　the　prognostication　is　sure

of　fulfilment。　　For　centuries　ahead　the　astronomer　foretells

the　eclipse　of　the　moon　and　the　sun　and　the　arrival　of　comets。

He　does　not　do　this　by　crossing　the　borderland　dividing　the　spiritual

from　the　physical　world。　　In　a　like　manner　the　subjective

forces　operate　upon　their　own　planes　and　know　very　little

even　of　their　own　corporal　realm；　just　as　our　physical　senses

know　little；　if　anything；　of　the　soul　or　spiritual　habitation。

They　know　that　by　gross　living　the　sense　of　conscience　may

be　dulled；　or　that　by　right　living　it　may　be　strengthened。

In　like　manner　the　subjective　mind　perceives　by　its　own　senses

certain　invisible　types　of　evil　seeking　external　manifestations

in　the　microcosm。　　It　knows　that　these　forms　of　error　will　work

harm　to　the　objective　mind；　and　that　if　persisted　in　they

will　pervert　all　intercourse　or　interchange　of　counsel　between

the　two　factions　of　the　man。　　In　this　there　is　no　spiritual

perception　of　physical　objects；　any　more　than　there　is　in　mundane

life　a　sense　perception　of　spiritual　images　and　antitypes。

The　former　only　sees　the　forms　that　manifest　on　its　plane；

while　the　latter　can　note　only　those　common　to　its　sphere。

Each　may　recognize　and　feel　the　violence　or　good　that　these

manifestations　will　do　to　their　respective　counterparts；

but　we　have　no　reason　to　believe　that　normal　objective　or

subjective　states　have　visional　powers　beyond　their　own　plane。

The　mind　of　man　acting　upon　the　mind　of　the　macrocosm　will　produce；

according　as　he　thinks　or　acts；　antitypes　of　good　or　evil　in

the　imagination　of　the　world　which　is　reflected　upon　the　spiritual

aura　of　the　microcosm　previous　to　taking　on　corporal　form。

While　in　this　state　they　may　be　perceived　by
