To the Editor of the "Nortu-Curxa Daty News:
Sim—With reference to your article in this morning's paper on the Meaning of Dreams, I see no) reason to doubt the veracity of the incident mentioned. I know of two somewhat similar ones, each of! which unfortunately had a tragic sequence, I well remember a friend who was at school with me at Winchester, receiving a letter from her mother relating a dream which had greatly distressed her. It seemed to her that her only son, a midshipman, whose ship was then distant waters, had stood by her' bedside and had said just one word, "Mother." Both form and voice were so real that she felt sure the dream had a meaning, and she feared trouble, It seemed to her a farewell. Not long afterwards she learned that sher son had been killed by a fall on board ship, on the day on which she had the dream, Tt was July 17, Another instance comes to mind. A gentleman living in London had very vivid dream. He thought saw a calm moonlit bay. Everything was peaceful and quiet, but he was oppressed by a sense of danger. He felt that his son, who, was away from home at the time, was in danger and needed help, He told the dream to his daughters next morning and mentioned his foreboding of ill. They tried to reassure him by reminding him that. their brother was nowhere near the: sea at that time. Soon after wards came the sad news that the son had been called to a place on the South Coast on business, and taking a stroll late in the evening, had been tempted to have a swim by moonlight. He apparently had been seized with cramp or had been. carried out of his depth and drowned.
