bring material loss if not corrected by the assumption of
your own will force.
To dream that you are conversing with a dead relative, and
that relative endeavors to extract a promise from you, warns
you of coming distress, unless you follow the advice given
you. Disastrous consequences could often be averted if minds
could grasp the inner workings and sight of the higher or
spiritual self. The voice of relatives is only that higher
self taking form to approach more distinctly the mind that
lives near the material plane. There is so little congeniality
between common or material natures that persons should depend
upon their own subjectivity for true contentment and pleasure.
[52]
Paracelsus says on this subject: ``It may happen that the
soul of persons who have died perhaps fifty years ago may
appear to us in a dream, and if it speaks to us we should
pay special attention to what it says, for such a vision
is not an illusion or delusion, and it is possible that
a man is as much able to use his reason during the sleep
of his body as when the latter is awake; and if in such
a case such a soul appears to him and he asks questions,
he will then hear that which is true. Through these solicitous
souls we may obtain a great deal of knowledge to good or
to evil things if we ask them to reveal them to us. Many
persons have had such prayers granted to them. Some people
that were sick have been informed during their sleep what
remedies they should use, and after using the remedies,
they became cured, and such things have happened not only
to Christians, but also to Jews, Persians, and heathens,
to good and to bad persons.''
The writer does not hold that such
knowledge is obtained from external or excarnate spirits,
but rather through the personal Spirit Glimpses that is
in man.--AUTHOR.
Death .[53]
To dream of seeing any of your people dead, warns you of
coming dissolution or sorrow. Disappointments always follow
dreams of this nature.
To hear of any friend or relative being dead, you will soon
have bad news from some of them.
Dreams relating to death or dying, unless they are due to
spiritual causes, are misleading and very confusing to the
novice in dream lore when he attempts to interpret them.
A man who thinks intensely fills his aura with thought or
subjective images active with the passions that gave them
birth; by thinking and acting on other lines, he may supplant
these images with others possessed of a different form and
nature. In his dreams he may see these images dying, dead
or their burial, and mistake them for friends or enemies.
In this way he may, while asleep, see himself or a relative
die, when in reality he has been warned that some good thought
or deed is to be supplanted by an evil one. To illustrate:
If it is a dear friend or relative whom he sees in the agony
of death, he is warned against immoral or other improper
thought and action, but if it is an enemy or some repulsive
object dismantled in death, he may overcome his evil ways
and thus give himself or friends cause for joy. Often the
end or beginning of suspense or trials are foretold by dreams
of this nature. They also frequently occur when the dreamer
is controlled by imaginary states of evil or good. A man
in that state is not himself, but is what the dominating
influences make him. He may be warned of approaching conditions
or his extrication from the same. In our dreams we are closer
to our real self than in waking life. The hideous or pleasing
incidents seen and heard about us in our dreams are all
of our own making, they reflect the true state of our soul
and body, and we cannot flee from them unless we drive them
out of our being by the use of good thoughts and deeds,
by the power of the spirit within us.

To dream of the devil as being a large, imposingly dressed
person, wearing many sparkling jewels on his body and hands,
trying to persuade you to enter his abode, warns you that
