10,000 dreams interpreted- 第9部分

Possibilities　for　inner　improvements　or　expansions　rest　with　material　man。

If　he　entertains　gross　desires　to　the　exclusion　of　spiritual　germs；

he　will　dwarf　and　degrade　higher　aspirations；　and　thus　deprive　subjective

spirituality　of　her　rightful　possessions。

Nature；　in　compounding　the　materials　for　the　creation　of　the　deaf　man；

inadvertently　dropped　the　ingredient　sound；　hence　making　an　imperfect　being；

and　sound；　being　thus　foreign　to　his　nature；　he　can　only　be　approached

by　signs　even　in　dreams。　　Subjectivity　uses　nature's　forces；

while　a　normal　person　uses　dreams　to　work　on　his　waking　consciousness。

As　it　is　impossible　to　use　with　effect　a　factor　which　a　man　does　not

naturally　possess；　a　deaf　man　rarely　ever　dreams　of　sound；　or　a　blind

man　of　light。

TWO　DREAMS　ARE　NEVER　THE　SAME；　NOR　ARE　TWO　FLOWERS　EVER　ALIKE。





Whatever　symbol　is　used　to　impress　the　dreamer　is　the　one

which　is　likely　to　warn　him　more　definitely　than　any　other。

No　two　persons　being　ever　in　the　same　state　at　the　same　time；

the　same　symbols　would　hardly　convey　identical　impressions；

neither　will　the　same　dream　be　as　effective　in　all　cases

of　business　or　love　with　the　same　dreamer。



A　person's　dream　perception　wavers；　much　as　it　does　in　waking　hours。

You　fail　to　find　the　same　fragrance　in　the　rose　at　all　times；

though　the　same　influences　seemingly　surround　you；　and　thus　it　is

that　different　dreams　must　be　used　for　different　persons　to　convey

the　same　meaning。



Creation；　confident　of　her　power　to　perfect　her　designs；

does　not　resort　to　that　monotony　in　her　work；　which　might　result

were　the　perception　of　man；　or　the　petals　and　fragrance　of　flowers

cast　from　one　stereotyped　mold　of　intelligence；　beauty　or　sweetness。

This　variety　of　scheme　runs　through　all　creation。

You　think　you　have　identical　dreams；　but　there　is　always

some　variation；　even　if　it　be　something　dreamed　immediately　over。

Nature　is　no　sluggard　and　is　forever　changing　her　compounds；

so　that　there　is　bound　to　be　change　in　the　details　even　of　dreams。

This　change　would　not　materially　affect　the　approach　of　happiness

or　sorrow　in　different　people；　and　hence　the　same　dreams　are

reliable　for　all。



Persons　of　the　same　or　similar　temperament　will　be　more　deeply

impressed　by　a　certain　dream　than　would　people　their　opposite；

and　though　the　dream　cannot　be　the　same　in　detail　yet　it　is

apparently　the　same；　just　as　two　like　flowers　are　called　roses；

though　they　are　not　identical。



If　a　young　woman　twenty…five　and　a　girl　of　fifteen　should　each　have　a　dream

of　marriage；　the　same　definition　would　apply　to　each；　just　the　same

as　if　they　would　each　approach　a　flower　and　smell　of　it　differently。

Different　influences　will　possess　them　unconsciously；　though　the　outward

appearance　be　the　same。



A　young　woman　of　a　certain　age　is　warned　in　a　dream　of　trouble

likely　to　befall　her；　while　another　of　similar　age　and

threatened　trouble　is　warned　also；　but　in　different　symbols；

which　she　fails　to　grasp　and　bring　back　to　waking　existence；

and　she　thus　believes　she　has　had　no　warning　dream。



There　are　those　in　the　world　who　lack　subjective　strength；

material　or　spiritual；　and　hence　they　fail　to　receive　dreams；

however　symbolic；　because　there　is　no　power　within　them

to　retain　these　impressions。



There　are　many　reasons　for　this　loss；　utter　material　gross…ness；　want

of　memory；　physical　weakness　uncoupled　from　extreme　nervousness；

and　total　lack　of　faith　in　any　warning　or　revelation　purporting

or　coming　from　the　dream　consciousness。



To　dream　at　night　and　the　following　day　have　the　thing　dreamed　of

actually　take　place；　or　come　before　your　notice；　is　not　allegorical。

It　is　the　higher　or　spiritual　sense　living　or　grasping　the　immediate

future　ahead　of　the　physical　mind。　　The　spiritual　body　is

always　first　to　come　into　contact　with　the　approaching　future；

it　is　present　with　it；　while　still　future　to　the　physical　body。

There　is　no　reason　why　man　should　not　grasp　coming　events　earlier；

only　he　does　not　cultivate　inner　sight　as　he　does　his　outer　senses。

The　allegorical　is　used　because　man　weakens　his　spiritual　force

by　catering　to　the　material　senses。



He　clings　to　the　pleasures　and　woes　of　the　material　world

to　the　exclusion　of　spirituality。







WHAT'S　IN　A　DREAM。





A。





‘‘_When　he　was　set　down　on　the　Judgment　seat；　his　wife　sent

unto　him；　saying；　‘Have　thou　nothing　to　do　with　that　just　man；

for　I　have　suffered　many　things　this　day　in　a　dream；　because　of　him_。'

''Matthew　xxvii；　19。
