Candles
To see them burning with a clear
and steady flame, denotes the constancy of those about
you and a well−grounded
fortune.
For a maiden to dream that she
is molding candles, denotes that she will have an
unexpected offer of marriage and
a pleasant visit to distant relatives. If she is lighting a
candle, she will meet her lover
clandestinely because of parental objections.

life.
The last definition is not
consistent with other parts of this book, but I let it stand, as I
find it among my automatic
writings.
Cannon
This dream denotes that one's
home and country are in danger of foreign intrusion, from
which our youth will suffer from
the perils of war.
For a young woman to hear or see
cannons, denotes she will be a soldier's wife and will
have to bid him godspeed as he
marches in defense of her and honor.
The reader will have to
interpret dreams of this character by the influences surrounding
him, and by the experiences
stored away in his subjective mind. If you have thought
about cannons a great deal and
you dream of them when there is no war, they are most
likely to warn you against
struggle and probable defeat. Or if business is manipulated by
yourself successful engagements
after much worry and ill luck may ensue.
Cannon−Ball
This means that secret enemies
are uniting against you. For a maid to see a cannon−ball,
denotes that she will have a
soldier sweetheart. For a youth to see a cannon−ball, denotes

defend his country.
Canoe
To paddle a canoe on a calm
stream, denotes your perfect confidence in your own ability
to conduct your business in a
profitable way.
To row with a sweetheart, means
an early marriage and fidelity. To row on rough waters
you will have to tame a shrew
before you attain connubial bliss. Affairs in the business
world will prove disappointing
after you dream of rowing in muddy waters. If the waters
are shallow and swift, a hasty
courtship or stolen pleasures, from which there can be no
lasting good, are indicated.
Shallow, clear and calm waters
in rowing, signifies happiness of a pleasing character, but
of short duration.
Water is typical of futurity in
the dream realms. If a pleasant immediate future awaits the
dreamer he will come in close
proximity with clear water. Or if he emerges from
disturbed watery elements into
waking life the near future is filled with crosses for him.
Candy
To dream of making candy,
denotes profit accruing from industry.

long kept.

indiscretion.
Cardinal
It is unlucky to dream you see a
cardinal in his robes. You will meet such misfortunes as
will necessitate your removal to
distant or foreign lands to begin anew your ruined
fortune. For a woman to dream
this is a sign of her downfall through false promises. If
priest or preacher is a
spiritual adviser and his services are supposed to be needed,
especially in the hour of
temptation, then we find ourselves dreaming of him as a warning
against approaching evil.
Cards
If playing them in your dreams
with others for social pastime, you will meet with fair
realization of hopes that have
long buoyed you up. Small ills will vanish. But playing for
stakes will involve you in
difficulties of a serious nature.
If you lose at cards you will
encounter enemies. If you win you will justify yourself in the
eyes of the law, but will have
trouble in so doing.
If a young woman dreams that her
sweetheart is playing at cards, she will have cause to
question his good intentions.
In social games, seeing diamonds

encumbered with a large estate.

living and happy, signifies you are letting wrong influences
into your life, which will bring
material loss if not corrected by the assumption of your
own will force.
To dream that you are conversing
with a dead relative, and that relative endeavors to
extract a promise from you,
warns you of coming distress, unless you follow the advice
given you. Disastrous
consequences could often be averted if minds could grasp the inner
workings and sight of the higher
or spiritual self. The voice of relatives is only that
higher self taking form to
approach more distinctly the mind that lives near the material
plane. There is so little
congeniality between common or material natures that persons
should depend upon their own
subjectivity for true contentment and pleasure.
Paracelsus says on this subject:
It may happen that the soul of
persons who have died perhaps fifty years
ago may appear to us in a dream,
and if it speaks to us we should pay
special attention to what it
says, for such a vision is not an illusion or
delusion, and it is possible
that a man is as much able to use his reason
during the sleep of his body as
when the latter is awake; and if in such a
case such a soul appears to him
and he asks questions, he will then hear
that which is true. Through
these solicitous souls we may obtain a great
deal of knowledge to good or to
evil things if we ask them to reveal them
to us. Many persons have had
such prayers granted to them. Some people
that were sick have been
informed during their sleep what remedies they
should use, and after using the
remedies, they became cured, and such
things have happened not only to
Christians, but also to Jews, Persians,
and heathens, to good and to bad
persons.
The writer does not hold that
such knowledge is obtained from external or excarnate
spirits, but rather through the
personal Spirit Glimpses that is in man.AUTHOR.
Death.
To dream of seeing any of your
people dead, warns you of coming dissolution or sorrow.
Disappointments always follow
dreams of this nature.
To hear of any friend or
relative being dead, you will soon have bad news from some of
them.
Dreams relating to death or
dying, unless they are due to spiritual causes, are misleading
and very confusing to the novice
in dream lore when he attempts to interpret them. A
man who thinks intensely fills
his aura with thought or subjective images active with the
passions that gave them birth;
by thinking and acting on other lines, he may supplant
these images with others
possessed of a different form and nature. In his dreams he may
see these images dying, dead or
their burial, and mistake them for friends or enemies. In
this way he may, while asleep,
see himself or a relative die, when in reality he has been
warned that some good thought or
deed is to be supplanted by an evil one. To illustrate:
If it is a dear friend or
relative whom he sees in the agony of death, he is warned against
immoral or other improper
thought and action, but if it is an enemy or some repulsive
object dismantled in death, he
may overcome his evil ways and thus give himself or
friends cause for joy. Often the
end or beginning of suspense or trials are foretold by
dreams of this nature. They also
frequently occur when the dreamer is controlled by
imaginary states of evil or
good. A man in that state is not himself, but is what the
dominating influences make him.
He may be warned of approaching conditions or his
extrication from the same. In
our dreams we are closer to our real self than in waking life.
The hideous or pleasing
incidents seen and heard about us in our dreams are all of our
own making, they reflect the
true state of our soul and body, and we cannot flee from
them unless we drive them out of
our being by the use of good thoughts and deeds, by the
power of the spirit within us.

Devil
For farmers to dream of the
devil, denotes blasted crops and death among stock, also
family sickness. Sporting people
should heed this dream as a warning to be careful of
their affairs, as they are
likely to venture beyond the laws of their State. For a preacher,
this dream is undeniable proof
that he is over−zealous, and should forebear worshiping
God by tongue−lashing his
neighbor.
To dream of the devil as being a
large, imposingly dressed person, wearing many
sparkling jewels on his body and
hands, trying to persuade you to enter his abode, warns
you that unscrupulous persons
are seeking your ruin by the most ingenious flattery.
Young and innocent women, should
seek the stronghold of friends after this dream, and

and money by seeming strangers.

devil, even in dreams. He is always the forerunner of

her lover presenting her with diamonds, foreshows that

pride; but to lose diamonds, and
not find them again, is the most unlucky of dreams,
foretelling disgrace, want and
death.

diamonds, foretells for her many prosperous days and
magnificent presents. For a
