WHAT ARE DREAMS?
I offer you in this work, my dear reader, all that can be collected
in reference to dreams. Notwithstanding the proverbial saying, “All
dreams are lies,” we frequently see the realization of them, and by
them we are informed of more or less interesting events which afterward
happen to us. A prudent and enlightened man will therefore examine
carefully his dreams to know which he ought to interpret, neglecting
those which are extravagant because of too exalted an imagination or of
a disturbed digestion.
In consulting this book with attention, in seeking in it for the
explanation of your dreams, and calculating the causes which have
produced them, you will rarely depart from the truth, because you will
be following the rules of a wise combination, which will prevent you
from falling into an illusory if not fatal error.
FOREKNOWLEDGE, OR INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS.
In the Holy Scriptures God says, that he “will pour his Spirit on all
flesh, that the young men and maidens shall prophesy, the old men shall
see visions, and the young men dream dreams.” Both sacred and profane
history are full of so many examples of the fulfilment of dreams, that
he must be very skeptical and but little versed in natural science who
would refuse to have faith in them.
Hippocrates says that when the body is asleep the soul is awake, and
transports itself everywhere, where the body would be able to go, that
it knows and sees all that the body could know or see were it awake;
that it touches all the body could touch, in a word, that it performs
all the actions that the body of a sleeping man could do were he awake.
There are five kinds of dreams, differently named according to their
different qualities. The first is dream, the second vision, the third
oracle, the fourth revery, and the fifth apparition.
A dream is that which, while we are asleep, shows us the truth hidden
under certain figures, as when Joseph interpreted to king Pharaoh the
dream concerning the seven lean kine that devoured the seven fat ones;
the dream of the seven full ears of corn, etc.
A vision is simply a dream happening when the body is awake instead of
sleeping, as Vespasian when he saw the surgeon who had extracted Nero’s
tooth.
