DREAMS AND THEIR CAUSES.
There are many who believe in dreams, orareto someextent influenced by them, ai.d many wonderful stories are related of cases in which dreams have been the indication of coming events, either for good or evil, in the life of the dreamer.
Many a man has dreamed that he was falling from a house-top, or a high precipice when the details have been horribly real. He has felt himself flying through the air and finally strike the rocks or ground beneath. Then he has awoke to find that while he had beep, dreaming he had slept too near the edge of the bed, and that fact will account for his being on the floor when he awakes.
Physicians will nearly if not quite all agree that to go to bed directly after eating a hearty dinner and lie on one's back will cause dreams. Three o*i four cheese sandwiches with a glass of beer, followed by a smoke from a strong pipe, will, if the patient lie upon his back, insure a vivid and varied vision and also a bad taste in the mouth in the morning. When a pe-son dreams <>f c;z'rg at long tables laden nith all the luxuries of life and before he gets it ho wakes up qude hungry, it is rather a refutation of the physician's theories, and it goes to prove that he went to bed hungry and awuke disappointed.
