is the only bad luck cake in the category. Baking them is
not so good an omen as seeing them or eating them.
Calomel .
To dream of calomel shows some person is seeking to deceive
and injure you through the unconscious abetting of friends.
For a young woman to dream of taking it, foretells that

illness of some one of them, and may be death; in the latter
case you may be called upon to stand as guardian over some
one, in governing whom you should use much discretion.
Lovers hearing the voice of their affianced should heed
the warning. If they have been negligent in attention they
should make amends. Otherwise they may suffer separation
from misunderstanding.
To hear the voice of the dead may be a warning of your own
serious illness or some business worry from bad judgment
may ensue. The voice is an echo thrown back from the future
on the subjective mind, taking the sound of your ancestor's
voice from coming in contact with that part of your ancestor
which remains with you. A certain portion of mind matter

remove to new estates and your own prospects will appear
gloomy.

that her lover will have trouble in getting her to name
a day for their wedding, and that he will prove a kind husband.
If in a military camp she will marry the first time she
has a chance.
A married woman after dreaming of being in a soldier's camp
is in danger of having her husband's name sullied, and divorce
courts may be her destination.

Love will resolve itself into cold formality, and business
will be worrying and profitless.
Canal .
To see the water of a canal muddy and stagnant-looking,
portends sickness and disorders of the stomach and dark
designs of enemies. But if its waters are clear a placid
life and the devotion of friends is before you.
For a young woman to glide in a canoe across a canal, denotes
a chaste life and an adoring husband. If she crossed the
canal on a bridge over clear water and gathers ferns and
other greens on the banks, she will enjoy a life of ceaseless
rounds of pleasure and attain to high social distinction.
But if the water be turbid she will often find herself tangled
in meshes of perplexity and will be the victim of nervous
troubles.

in your dearest wishes.

friends.

promises react upon her in disappointment. Fairy-like scenes
in a dream are peculiarly misleading and treacherous to
women.

the constancy of those about you and a well-grounded fortune.

that she will have an unexpected offer of marriage and a
pleasant visit to distant relatives. If she is lighting

Sorrow and loneliness to the aged.

with other parts of this book, but I let it stand, as I
find it among my automatic writings.
Cannon .
This dream denotes that one's home and country are in danger
of foreign intrusion, from which our youth will suffer from
the perils of war.
For a young woman to hear or see cannons, denotes she will
be a soldier's wife and will have to bid him godspeed as
he marches in defense of her and honor.
The reader will have to interpret dreams of this character
by the influences surrounding him, and by the experiences
stored away in his subjective mind. If you have thought
about cannons a great deal and you dream of them when there
is no war, they are most likely to warn you against struggle
and probable defeat. Or if business is manipulated by yourself
successful engagements after much worry and ill luck may
ensue.

To row on rough waters you will have to tame a shrew before
you attain connubial bliss. Affairs in the business world
will prove disappointing after you dream of rowing in muddy
waters. If the waters are shallow and swift, a hasty courtship
or stolen pleasures, from which there can be no lasting
good, are indicated.
Shallow, clear and calm waters in rowing, signifies happiness
of a pleasing character, but of short duration.
Water is typical of futurity in the dream realms. If a pleasant
immediate future awaits the dreamer he will come in close
proximity with clear water. Or if he emerges from disturbed
watery elements into waking life the near future is filled
with crosses for him.
Candy .
To dream of making candy, denotes profit accruing from industry.

is a sign of illness or that disgusting annoyances will
grow out of confidences too long kept.

to forward your prospects.

selfish and lewd principles which should be mastered and
controlled.

fortune. For a woman to dream this is a sign of her downfall
through false promises. If priest or preacher is a spiritual
adviser and his services are supposed to be needed, especially
in the hour of temptation, then we find ourselves dreaming
of him as a warning against approaching evil.
Cards .
If playing them in your dreams with others for social pastime,
you will meet with fair realization of hopes that have long
buoyed you up. Small ills will vanish. But playing for stakes
will involve you in difficulties of a serious nature.
If you lose at cards you will encounter enemies. If you
win you will justify yourself in the eyes of the law, but
will have trouble in so doing.

cards, she will have cause to question his good intentions.
In social games, seeing diamonds indicate wealth; clubs,
