Person shall have many Friends which is the seventh Question so that reckoning the three that remain you proceed till you come to Nine which signifies the ninth Number and the third Answer which is this You shall have many Friends Again for the same Question Suppose you touch at the Figure 3 and count upwards as you see the pricks go till you come to the corner there remain five with you are to reckon from the Question accounting always the Question it self to be one and that will bring you to 11 which is the Number of the Answers then five the number remaining as before directs you to the same Figure in that Number where you finde this Answer You shall have true Friends Note also that if you chuse any of the Questions towards the end you must after you have counted all to the bottom begin at the beginning again For Example Suppose you chuse the 49 Question Who shall overcome in a Duel and you touch at 4 in the Figure you must count as you see the pricks and there remain seven then you turn to the Question before where you reckon from 49 and because you can reckon but four of the seven to the bottom you begin again at one so that you finde three the number in the Answers

Michael AND Translated into English By J. G. of the Inner Temple Gent. LONDON Printed by J. C. for William Crooke 1669. A TREATISE OF Nocturnal Dreams and Visions AND Of their SIGNIFICATIONS According To the Opinion of the Ancients DReams and Visions are infus'd into men for their advantage and instruction Wherefore God promiseth in the sacred Pages that he will pour out his Spirit upon all flesh
analogous to the four Elements afterwards we shall mention Dreams of things animal and consequently of the Coelestial Of the FIRE WHen a man Dreams he sees Fire that signifies the issue of his choler and ordinarily they that Dream of Fire are active cholerick and furious A Man that Dreams he is burnt by Fire that prognosticates a violent Fever He that Dreams he sees a moderate Fire in his chimney without smoak or the crackling of sparks it signifies that he which Dream'd is in perfect health and that his inclination swayes him to that which is good and rational sometimes also it signifies riches some are of opinion that it denotes a feast or rejoycing among relations and friends On the contrary when one Dreams that he sees a great sparkling Fire with much smoak that signifies anger debates or some bad news which he that Dreams will soon be sensible of When one Dreams of seeing a Fire extinguished that signifies indigence necessity ill fortune and want of money and if any distemper'd person Dreams that the Fire is put out that praesageth his death When one Dreams that he sees a clear shining lighted candle upon a table or cabinet that is a good signe to the Sick it denotes recovery and health and if he that Dreams be unmarried it signifies that he will speedily marry that he will have success and prosper in his undertakings and that he will gain credit the same interpretation may be made of a Lanthorn or flaming Torch He that Dreams he sees a Candle Lanthorns or Torch extinguished or darkned that signifies unto him sadness sickness and poverty He that Dreams he is in a Ship and sees a clear light afar off shall be assured of a faiâ— wind shall receive no dammage by tempests and shall arrive happily at the Haven When one Dreams in the night that he holds a burning Light or Torch in his hand it is a good signe and chiefly to those that are young for it signifies that they shall enjoy their loves accomplish their designes overcome their Enemies and gain honor and good-will from all persons To Dream you see a burning Light in thâ— hands of another signifies that the mischief donâ—â— will be discovered and the party punished and that there will be no possibility of excusing oâ— concealing it When the light is extinguished it signifies the contrary When one Dreams that he sees one or more houses burning with a clear pure Fire that is not violent nor sparkling and that those houseâ— are neither consum'd nor destroy'd that signifies to the necessitous goods riches and Inheritances to the rich it praesageth honors charges and dignity But if you spie them burning with a smoaky violent or sparkling Fire and that they seem to fall and be consum'd that denotes the contrary viz. adversity trouble Law-suits shame misfortune and death to the Dreamer Queen Hecuba wife to King Priam being with child of her Son Paris Dream'd that shee went with a burning Torch that would consume the City or Troy which was a prognostick of the ruine of her Empire of her own and the death of all her relations When a man Dreams that his bed is on Fire and that he perisheth that signifies dammage sickness or death to his wife and if the wife Dreams it the same may happen to her Husband When one Dreams that he sees Tapestry or other moveables of a Hall burning and that they are comsum'd that prognosticates dammage or death to the Master of the House When one phancies in a Dream that he sees the Cabinet or Cupboard that belongs to the Mistris if the House burning that signifies sickness or death to her If one Dreams that the Kitchen is one Fire that denotes death to the Cook the men or maid-servants or one of them When a man beleeves the shop is on Fire and that it is consum'd by the Fire that signifies loss of Goods and Possessions If one Dreams that he sees the out-windows of the fore-part of the house burning and that they are consum'd that signifies the death of Brethren if they are those of the back-part it is the death of Sisters or of one of them When one Dreams that the Gates burn and are consum'd that signifies death to the Mistris of the House and somtimes to him that Dreams If one beleeves he sees the Bed-posts on Fire without being consum'd that signifies good fortune to the male-Children as Euripides the Philosopher testifies To see the top of the House on Fire and consum'd denotes loss of Goods Law-suits oâ— the Master of the house his Friends If one Dreams that he kindles a Fire and that it burns immediately without trouble or a candle or Torch that signifies that the Children begotten will be fortunate and honor their Mother If a Woman Dreams that shee kindles or lights the Fire it is a signe shee is with child and that shee will be safely deliver'd of a fortunate child whether it be a Boy or a Girl When one Dreams of kindling a Fire with much ado and that it extinguisheth presently it denotes dammage and dishonor to the wife and he that Dreams who often proves the cause of it He that Dreams he sees a Castle quite burn'd down and consum'd it signifies damage sickness or death to the Master thereof and he thaâ— Dreams a City is on Fire and consum'd that denotes famine war or pestilence to the said City He that Dreams he sees a man publickly burn'd it signifies loss in merchandizing oâ— sickness He that Dreams he sees his cloathes burn'd and consum'd it signifies vexation injury reproach overthrowing at Law and loss of friends He that Dreams he sees a stack of corn burn'd and consum'd it signifies famine and mortality but if it consumes not it denotes fertility and great riches to him that Dreams He that Dreams he sees himself burning in the Fire and suffers pain thereby it signifies envy displeasure choler and debates He that Dreams he holds a Torch made of straw and carries it in publick it signifies joy honor and the safe management of Affairs He that Dreams he burns his finger it signifies envy and sin Of the AIR THey that Dream they see the Air clear and serene shall be belov'd and esteem ' by all persons and those that are their enemies and envy them shall be reconcil'd into them According to the observation of Physicians they judge the person to be sanguine and full of blood that is accustom'd to Dream of the Air. Some eniment Authors affirme that to Dream of seeing the Air clear and free from clouds it signifies that the theft or thing lost shall be discovered and that one shall overcome his Enemies that he shall overthrow at Law be respected and esteem'd by all and that he shall make a successful voyage or journy if he be upon any such designe in brief all good things are denoted by a clear and serene Air. But on the contrary if one Dreams that the Airs is cloudy dark
that Dreams his head is shav'd or his bearâ— trim'd will be in danger of losing a great paâ—â— of his Estate of being sick or run the risqâ—â—â— losing his life by some ignominious death To see his hair shed signifies annoy and loâ—â— of his Estate If the King Prince or great Lord Dreams thâ—â— he hath a comely great head of hair he will bâ— victorious over his Enemies will gain much râ—putation and reduce many Provinces to his Dominion If he Dreams his hairs are grown white hiâ— Treasures will be diminished and almost totalâ—â— exhausted If his hair seems to be longer and blacker theâ—â— ordinary his wealth and honor will increase If he thinks that his hair is cut or pluckt off his Estate and the number and forces of his State and Army will decrease according to the same proportion If any one Dreams that his beard is grown bigger then ordinary he will grow richer then he was formerly If any one Dreams that his hair is grown more thin then it was formerly it is a signe of affliction and poverty If it seems a matter of great difficulty to pull off his hair that denotes he will do his utmost endeavour to avoyd misery Of Perfumes and Odors If one Dreams he perfumes his head with Oyls Essences or sweet-sented powders that signifies he that dreams hath too great an esteem of himself that he will be vain-glorious and haughty in his demeanor to his Associates If it be a Woman shee will deceive her Husband and wear the breeches If one Dreams his hair is frizled and decently ordered so as to be of opinion that he is very comely it signifies that he who dreams will be in some danger of his person either by sickness or other ways According to the tradition of the Indians and Persians those that dream that their head or the other parts of their body are perfum'd with oyls perfumes or sweet-sented powders will live in good repute among their neighbours and be acceptable to all persons and as for my own partiâ—ular I rather incline to this then the precedent opinion If any one Dreams he hath an ill savor he will be odious to all people and that according to the proportion of the ill sent If any one Dreams he is presented with sweet perfumes he will receive some welcome news according to the proportion of the sents in quality and quantity and will gain profit advantage and honor among his acquaintance If a person Dreams that he makes odoriserous persumes and bestows them among his friends he will be the messenger of good tidings which will prove advantageous to him and those with whom he entertains discourse Of the Fore-head If any one Dreams he hath a large forehead that signifies an ingenious spirit and if it be very high it is a signe of a solid judgement it also denotes power and wealth to him that dreams To Dream that you have a brow of brass copper marble or iron that signifies irreconciliable hatred against your Enemies Some Authors are of opinion that such a Dream is advantageous to Victuallers and Gabelers If any one Dreams his forehead is broken oâ— hurt his wealth will be discovered and in danger of losing that betokens fear and apprehension to him that dreams If one Dreams he hath a great and well-flesh'd forehead that signifies freedom of speech strength and constancy Of the Nose If any one Dreams his nose is larger then ordinary he will become rich and powerful and will be provident and subtile and well receiv'd

parents To Dream one hath Asses-Ears signifies servitude To Dream one hath the Ears of a Lion or of any other cruel Beast signifies treachery or deceit from his Enemies and those that envy him If one

he will be offended by some that belong to him or by some friend of his to whom he hath intrusted his secrets If it seems that his Ear is quite cut off he shall be utterly depriv'd of their friendship If any one Dreams his Ears are stop'd if he be a King or Prince he will despise the requests and petitions of his subjects and will endeavour to have them subscribe to his will upon all accompts If he be a private person that hath Dream'd thus it is a signe he will alter his resolutions and that he will deceive those that confide in him if it be a Woman shee will be debauch'd Of the Eys The Eys are the windows of the soul and the Antients represent by them faith the will and the light of the understanding If any one Dreams he hath lost his sight he will violate his word or else he or some of his Children are in danger of death or he will never more see his friends again If any one Dreams that he is grown blear-ey'd he will commit some hainous crime and afterwards repent of it he is also in danger of losing his Estate To Dream he hath a good and quick sight it is an extraordinary good dream and he whose it was shall succeed in his enterprizes but a troubled and weak sight signifies want of money and bad success in business Of the Ey-browe and Ey-lids If any one Dreams his Ey-brows and Ey-lids are more comely and lage then they use to be it is a signe he will be honor'd and esteem'd by all persons that he will prosper in courtship and grow rich If one Dreams that the hair of his Ey-brows or Ey-lids is shed it will fall out contrary Of the Mouth The Mouth is the rampart house and door wherein all the internal parts of humane bodies are inclos'd If therefore any one Dreams that his Mouth is wider then ordinary his family

or receive good success and advantage from him that hath the charge of his Estate and affairs for the Ribs being as it were the walls and ramparts of the body and principal inward-parts they are
