Dr. Peterson, the New York neurologist, in a recent magazine article
on dreams and their meaning, points out that many dreams thought to be
prophetic can be accounted for physiologically and avers that there
never was a purely prophetic dream. He would contend, no doubt, that
your waking thoughts having been a good deal engaged with Western
life, your dream carried the same train of thought straight through.
He would probably characterize the incidents of the rich mines, the
store and the relative as merely coincidental, yet as the writer of a
text-book on mental philosophy observes, to call such dreams
coincidences leaves the mystery as great as before.
It is evident Curious is not as curious as what he signs himself. If
he had investigated his dream he may have found it to his advantage.
