to dreame that men children have beards and gray hayrs and that little wenches should be married and have children which signifieth to them death at hand And yet to dream that little children speak well is good because it is proper both to man and woman to speake But as for other things happening beyond theyr age in those which are not very little children it was declared in the first Book in the Chapter of alteration and change dreams which are of the generation of children or of weddings foretel that our children being in a farre Country shal return especially the wife and children if by chance any one hath took them from us if one dreams to plough the earth and sow seed therein it signifies the same That that which is signified by one thing is also oftentimes the signifier of the same thing THe Eyes signifie and represent Children whereupon a woman dreaming that her eyes were sore found her children sick and another dreaming that her children were sick had after sore eyes Of Vomit AL vomiting whether of bloud meate or flegme to poor folks if they dreame it signifieth profit and to the rich hurt for the first can lose nothing untill they have it but the others having goods already shall come to lose them To see or have often the same dreams TO see often the same dreames and many nights one after another is a signe that our spirit doth admonish and foretell us affectionately the selfe same thing worthy to be thought upon for when we have great affection to any thing we cannot but think and speak thereof But if the same dreames are séen with long space of time betwéen them they do not alwayes signifie the same thing but divers according to the change of the time and affayres neyther more nor lesse though many have dreamt the same dream it will not signifie to all alike but rather diversly according to the divers estate and quality of the folks and their different affayrs A certain Perfumer dreamt that he had lost his nose and he lost his Merchandise and sold no more the losse of his nose signifying his perfumes A long time after being no Perfumer he dreamt the same dream that he had no nose and he was afterwards accused for falshood and fled out of his Country for it is an unseemly thing to lack a nose which is the most perspicuous place of all his face Whereupon Virgil saith Et trun●as inhonesto vulnerena●es The same Perfumer being sicke upon a time after dreamt againe that he had no nose and he died for dead mens heads have no nose So that the self same dream in the selfe same man signified diversly thrée severall times first losse of his Merchandise secondly losse of his honour and thirdly losse of his life Of Vessels and Instruments EUery Uessell or Instrument signifieth the art or trade wherein it is used or that which one useth to put therein As Tuns signifie Wine or Dyle heapes of Corn or Barly or such like thing somewhat near or equipollent to that whereto it is applied the tooles and instruments in this sense signifie friends children and Parents victuall and provision signifyeth the Master of a house the Coffers and Cabinets the Wifes and the Stewards But in all you must judge with regard of circumstance As one having the order of Knighthood and requiring a charge or conduct of some men of war dreamt that being called of one he went out of his house wherein he was and having gone downe two staires he thought that he which called him reach'd him a Crown of Dlives such as the Roman Knights used to weare in their Pomp after which dream he was very joyfull and all those that were of his company were in hope that by this dream he should have his request but he had not and the reason thereof was because he received the Crowne not in going up the stayres but in comming down for to ascend signifieth honour to descend the contrary Notwithstanding this dream signified another thing unto him to wit that he should marry and espouse a Maid for the Crown was of tied branches Wherefore he which expounds dreams must not rest in one thing onely but he must understand all the disposition and derivation of them for those which judged of this dream onely by the crown without having regard to the descent of the stayrs were all deceived in theyr expectation Of Parentage ALl those which are of one Parentage especially children being represented by a Dreame having or doing any thing signifie that something shall be done or fall out comming near the said things to whomsoever of the kin it happen A man dreamt that his daughter was crook backt and the sister of the dreamer dyed and not without cause for he dreamt that such a near kinswoman was not well shortly after which his sister departed Of things which encompasse ALl those things which encompasse us or receive us have the same consideration as one dreamt that he was apparelled in a gowne of wood now he sayled and his sayling or voyage was hindered for the gown of wood hindering him represented the ship An other dreamt his gown was cut into small pieces and his house fell down An other dreamt he had lost the roofe of his house and he lost ●is clothes A Marriner dreamt he saw a wall break and the pieces and sides of his ship were broke and yet all such things may have reference to the body and therefore not without cause one which dreamt that his gown was broken and torn was wounded in his body and in the same place where he dreamt his gowne was torn and as the gowne shewed it selfe to be the case of the body so the body is the case of the soul In like sort servants besides other things which they may signify represent the bodies of theyr masters wherefore there was one that dreamt he saw his servant sicke and was sick himselfe of a feaver and the body is the servitor of the soule which séeeth the dream An other dreamt he had a horse foot and was afterward knighted for as his feet bare him in like sort the horse should carry him He which dreames the King will give him something out of his mouth must thus interpret it that there shall be some sentence given or word spoken which shall redound to the profit of the dreamer Of imperfect or halfe-finished Works TO dream that works are onely halfe done signifieth evill successe of affayrs and it were better not to begin them Cilex making a request to the King to have the succession of his brother dreamt that he shore a shéep to the middle of her body and taking a great deale of the fléece awaked dreaming that he could not obtain to sheare the rest after which dream he expected to obtaine the moity of his brothers inheritance but on the contrary he neither obtained it all nor any part thereof Of Townes TO dream to see
