Dreams and THEIR MEANING explained by PROFESSOR LOWENSTEIN

M OST people have, at some time or another, been greeted by a friend or a member of their family with the remark, “Oh! I had such a peculiar dream last night”-and more likely than not each of us has also that ‘peculiar’ dream for himself. Many of us who have studied this question really believe that dreams have a meaning. \\ e do not dismiss dreams as being the mere outcome of a heavy meal before retmng or necessarily accept the view that they are but a reflection of a troubled xnind. Here are a few of the things that people dream about— and the meaning which I attach thereto:— APPLES —Excellent health, good spirits and pleasant happenings. ABROAD—To dream that you are abroad means that you will visit a place that you have never thought of, one day. AEROPLANE—That some change is on its way to you within the . next three months, or that news of it will come in that time. ACTING —To dream you are acting yourself usually means that you have stage ambitions, and to dream of watching others act as well, that in some way you may come into contact with stage life.
