Abstract

This chapbook functions as a Dream Dictionary, alphabetically listing many common themes that occur in dreams and the meaning/predictions that can then be applied from these to real life. Some examples include: Abuse, Adultery, Apparel, Bacon, Bagpipes, Devil, Drunkenness, Elephants, Gallows, Grave, Infants, Milk, Moon, Oysters, Plays, Red Hair, Sheep, Small-Pox, Vinegar, Whiskey, and Zephyrs. Quite a few of these predictions relate specifically to business, love, and lawsuits. The chapbook is ended with a brief description of Moles, and their significance  in men or women.
