This　can　only　be　accomplished　through　the　material　mind

or　reason　dominating　the　animal　emotions　of　the　heart。

In　this　way　we　would　not　covet　our　neighbor's　goods；　or　grow

angry　with　our　brother　over　trifles。



The　house　vacated　by　the　sefish｛sic｝　appetites　of　the　world　would

be　filled　with　the　whispers　of　spiritual　love　and　wisdom　necessary

to　the　mutual　welfare　and　development　of　body　and　soul。



The　theory　used　in　this　book　to　interpret　dreams　is　both　simple　and　rational。

By　the　using　of　it　you　will　be　surprised　to　find　so　many　of　the　predictions

fulfilled　in　your　waking　life。　　We　deal　with　both　the　thought　and　the　dream。

The　thought　or　sign　implied　in　the　object　dreamed　of　and　the　influence

surrounding　it　are　always　considered　in　the　interpretation。



Thoughts　proceed　from　the　visible　mind　and　dreams　from　the　invisible　mind。

The　average　waking　mind　receives　and　retains　only　a　few　of　the　lessons

of　life。　　It　is　largely　filled　with　idle　and　incoherent　thoughts　that

are　soon　forgotten。　　The　same　may　be　truly　said　of　the　dream　mind。

Many　of　our　day　thoughts　are　day　dreams；　just　as　many　of　our　night　dreams

are　night　thoughts。　　Our　day　deeds　of　evil　or　good　pierce　or　soothe

the　conscience；　just　as　our　night　symbols　of　sorrow　and　joy　sadden　or　please

the　objective　senses。　　Our　day's　thoughts　are　filled　with　the　warnings

and　presence　of　the　inner　mind　and　our　night's　thoughts　are　tinctured

and　often　controlled　by　our　external　mind。



Some　writer　has　said：　　‘‘Everything　that　exists　upon　earth　has　its

ethereal　counterpart。''　　Christ　said：　　‘‘As　a　man　thinketh　so　is　he。''

A　Hindu　proverb　says：　　‘‘Man　is　a　creature　of　reflection；　he　becomes

that　upon　which　he　reflects。''　　A　modern　metaphysicist　says：

‘‘Our　thoughts　are　real　substance　and　leave　their　images　upon

our　personality；　they　fill　our　aura　with　beauty　or　ugliness　according

to　our　intents　and　purposes　in　life。''　　Each　evil　thought　or　action

has　its　pursuing　phantom；　each　smile　or　kindly　deed　its　guiding　angel；

we　leave　wherever　we　ignobly　stand；　a　tomb　and　an　epitaph　to　haunt

us　through　the　furnace　of　conscience　and　memory。



Closely　following　in　the　wake　of　our　multiplying　evil　thoughts　are　armies

of　these　ghastly　spectres　pursuing　each　other　with　the　exact　intents

and　purposes　of　the　mind　that　gave　them　being。　　If　we　consider　well　these

facts　we　will　be　forced　into　thinking　our　best　thoughts　at　all　times。

Thoughts　are　the　subjective　and　creative　force　that　produces　action。

Action　is　the　objective　effect　of　thought；　hence　the　character　of　our　daily

thoughts　is　making　our　failure　or　success　of　to…morrow。



The　impersonal　mind　deals　with　all　time　and　things　as　ever　present。

The　objective　mind　is　constantly　striving　to　penetrate

the　spiritual　realm；　while　the　spiritual　mind　is　striving　to

enter　matter；　hence　our　actions　have　their　subjective　counterparts

and　their　subethereal　counterparts。　　The　universal　mind；

in　harmony　with　the　evolutionary　plans　and　laws　of　the　macrocosms；

materializes　through　functions　of　the　microcosm；　imparting　to　each；

with　its　routine　of　failure　and　success；　its　daily　objectivity。

The　inner　or　passive　dream　mind　may　perceive　the　subjective　types

or　antitypes　many　days　before　they　objectify　through　the　microcosm。

Their　meaning　is　often　wrapt　in　symbols；　but　sometimes

the　actual　as　it　occurs　in　objective　life　is　conveyed。

Our　own　thought　images　which　have　passed　before　the　objective　mind

may　be　perceived　by　the　clever　mind　reader；　but　those　antitypes

which　are　affecting　our　future；　but　which　have　none　other

but　subjective　existence；　are　rarely　ever　perceived　by　any　one

except　by　the　power　of　the　higher　self　or　the　spirit　within。

For　this　reason　we　are　enjoined　by　the　sages　to　study　self。

With　the　physical　mind　we　only　see　physical　objects；

with　the　subjective　mind　we　see　only　subjective　objects。

This　was　Paul's　doctrine　and　it　is　the　belief　of　the　best

psychic　thought　of　this　century。　　By　means　of　our　reason

an　objective　process　for　divining　the　futureaided　by　mathematical

and　geographical　data；　we　may　outline　the　storm　centers　and　the　path

of　the　rain　days　before　they　appear　in　certain　localities。

After　eliminating　all　contingencies　arising　from　clerical

error　and　counteracting　influence；　the　prognostication　is　sure

of　fulfilment。　　For　centuries　ahead　the　astronomer　foretells

the　eclipse　of　the　moon　and　the　sun　and　the　arrival　of　comets。

He　does　not　do　this　by　crossing　the　borderland　dividing　the　spiritual

from　the　physical　world。　　In　a　like　manner　the　subjective

forces　operate　upon　their　own　planes　and　know　very　little

even　of　their　own　corporal　realm；　just　as　our　physical　senses

know　little；　if　anything；　of　the　soul　or　spiritual　habitation。

They　know　that　by　gross　living　the　sense　of　conscience　may

be　dulled；　or　that　by　right　living　it　may　be　strengthened。

In　like　manner　the　subjective　mind　perceives　by　its　own　senses

certain　invisible　types　of　evil　seeking　external　manifestations

in　the　microcosm。　　It　knows　that　these　forms　of　error　will　work

harm　to　the　objective　mind；　and　that　if　persisted　in　they

will　pervert　all　intercourse　or　interchange　of　counsel　between

the　two　factions　of　the　man。　　In　this　there　is　no　spiritual

perception　of　physical　objects；　any　more　than　there　is　in　mundane

life　a　sense　perception　of　spiritual　images　and　antitypes。

The　former　only　sees　the　forms　that　manifest　on　its　plane；

while　the　latter　can　note　only　those　common　to　its　sphere。

Each　may　recognize　and　feel　the　violence　or　good　that　these

manifestations　will　do　to　their　respective　counterparts；

but　we　have　no　reason　to　believe　that　normal　objective　or

subjective　states　have　visional　powers　beyond　their　own　plane。

The　mind　of　man　acting　upon　the　mind　of　the　macrocosm　will　produce；

according　as　he　thinks　or　acts；　antitypes　of　good　or　evil　in

the　imagination　of　the　world　which　is　reflected　upon　the　spiritual

aura　of　the　microcosm　previous　to　taking　on　corporal　form。

While　in　this　state　they　may　be　perceived　by　subjectivity；

and　thus　the　images　seen　are　impressed　on　the　dream　mind

during　sleep；　or　on　the　passivity　of　the　objective　sense。



Evil　or　righteous　acts　recently　committed　will　more　acutely　affect

the　present　waking　mind　than　those　enacted　at　a　more　remote　period。

In　a　similar　way　future　disaster　or　success　which　is　soon　to　occur

will　impress　the　dream　mind　more　vividly　than　those　which　are

to　transpire　at　a　later　date。　　But　in　the　lives　of　all　men　there

are　past　incidents　which　they　will　never　forget；　and　which

will　never　cease　to　fill　their　hearts　with　pride　or　remorse。

So；　too；　in　their　distant　future　there　are　important　events

to　transpire　which　are　struggling　through　tumultuous　infinitude

to　leave　their　ghastly　or　smiling　impress　upon　the　dream　mind。

If　your　mental　states　are　passive　you　will　receive　the　warnings。

There　are　cases　on　record　which　show　events　have　been　forecast

years　ahead　of　their　occurrence。



We　do　not　claim　that　this　book　will　prove　an　interpreter　of　all　dreams；

or　that　the　keys　disclosed　will　open　to　you　all　the　mysteries　of　the　future；

or　even　all　those　surrounding　your　own　personality；　but　by　studying

the　definitions　and　the　plane　upon　which　they　were　written；　you　will　be　able；

through　the　power　of　your　own　spirit；　to　interpret　your　own　dreams。

The　combination　of　dream　and　dream　influences　are　as　infinite　as　the　stars；

or　the　combination　of　thought　and　number。　　They　can　only　be　classed

and　considered　as　such。　　They　cannot　be　analyzed　in　detail　or　as　a　whole。

In　mathematics　we　have　nine　digits　from　which　an　infinite　variety

of　combinations　may　be　formed　and　solved　by　the　deduction　of　the　mind。

Through　them　we　may　measure　time；　space；　quality　and　quantity。



The　symbol　o　and　I　exist　by　reason　of　_no　thing_　and　_some

thing_　or　death　and　life。　　The　figure　one　is　subject　to

illimitable　expansion。　　It　is　without　beginning　in　the　infinite

of　number；　as　God　is　without　beginni
