PROPHETIC MESSAGES

Sceptics of the supernatural .may or may not be able to find some material reason for the following curious sequence of dreams. A soldier serving in the Middle East was informed by a fellow soldier that he had had. a curious dream that night. “I dreamed that I saw you standing on one leg and holding th<J> other in your hand. Tbe leg you were standing on was also damaged in some way.” That very day the soldier concerned was wounded in both legs, but he did not have to have his leg amputated. Many weeks after the casualty he received a letter from his wife in which she said she had dreamed that he had been hurt in his legs. .She warned him to take care of his legs. The advice, however, arrived too late. Her husband was already recovering in hospital. One can make whatever one likes of the strange dreams. An even more curious occurrence concerned the same soldier before the dreams related. Piefore becoming a casualty with leg wounds this soldier had received a wound in the shoulder from which he had recovered. A friend of his wife’s was sitting in a chair in New Zealand at the time that he was wounded in the shoulder. She suddenly gave a cry and put her hand to her shoulder and complained that she had suddenly felt a stabbing pain. “It’s only rheumatism,” said the wife. “No,” said the friend, “Bill has just been shot in the shoulder.” She was correct, as was proved conclusively by lettej* subsequently.
