THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS AND MOLES.
Dreams, though some, very ignorant in such rare mysteries, have slighted them, are, by the Sages and Wise Men of all ages, considered very significant; and that the soul, when the body reposes, being disencumbered from gross and weighty cares for the flesh, by this unknown mysterious way confabulates or converses with Spirits of Angels, who bring to its knowledge future events, very strange and wonderful; as in scripture we find it in Pharaoh’s, Nebuchadnezzar’s, and other dreams, that exactly came to pass, according to their interpretations. But not to prolong the matter, I proceed, by the rules of art, to give the interpretation of Dreams.
To dream one is flying in the air, promises hasty news.
To dream one swims with pleasure in tossing water, denotes overcoming some difficult matter you have in hand.
To dream you hear birds sing melodiously, betokens joy to people in health; and to the sick, recovery.
To dream one presents you with a gold ring, and puts it on your finger, or ties on your garter on your right leg, it foreshews speedy marriage to either party.
To dream you are dancing in a jolly company, signifies much joy and mirth in the course of the following day.
To dream some furious beast pursues you, and you cannot avoid it, betokens your enemies will prevail against you.
To dream you are stung or bitten by serpents or insects, denotes mischief to come from malicious and private enemies.
To dream you meet a lion, who fawns on you, denotes the favour of great ones.
To dream you meet a black coffin, with mourners, denotes the death of a friend.
