IF YOU DREAM

PSYCHOLOGIST INTERPRETS DREAMS fßy Air Mail—Special Correspondent! LONDON. sth August. Dr. Franz Plewa, 36-year-old Viennese psychologist, talked about the meaning of dreams this week at Oxford, after he had addressed the Individual Psychology Summer School on marriage. Here are some of the things he told dreamers to remember: If, in your dreams, you see a certain horse flashing past the post in the 3.30 to-morrow, take no notice, for dreams in this respect, are not prophetic. If the horse actually does win—that is simply coincidence—and bad luck on you. If you are on the Stock Exchange and dream of a sudden rise in certain shares, be very careful. Dr. Plews knew a brother who successfully backed winning dreams for several weeks. He boasted that he could dream the rises and the falls of the change. Then he fell ill, was away for about a fortnight, continued to follow his dreams—and lost. “You see,” said Dr. Plewa, “in these early dreams it was simply that he was carrying on his day-like thoughts as to what would happen to the market. As soon as he was away, and lost contact—poof, where were his dreams.” You should not think that to imagine you inherited £50,000, a house? in the country, and been promoted to a big job is a happy dream. It only means that you are dissatisfied with your lot in life. In the words of Dr. Plewa, “A dream always distorts realities to higher or lower planes.”
