Dickinson, N.D., June 22--A dream in which he saw the spot
where his father's body lay led Raymond Everetts, 11, to
discover the body yesterday. Tom Everetts, the father, was
one of three section men drowned by a flood near Medora
Saturday. Several years ago the boy announced the death of
an aunt shortly before a telegram confirmed his prophesy.
When the ego impresses the lower mind of approaching danger, in dreams
or otherwise, it is simply for the individual to be prepared for what
is in store for him, just as a wise physician tells his patient when
the end is near to be prepared.
Miss Miller, 375 Brenner street, Muncie, Germany, had a premonition of
her brother drowning. She states:
"My brother was a great swimmer. Two weeks before he was
drowned I had a premonition of his death. In my dream I saw
him diving into the river. His head struck a rock, then I
saw his lifeless body float before me for three successive
nights. I told him of my dream. I begged him not to go
bathing, but he only laughed at me, saying, 'I can protect
myself in the water.' His death was the exact working out of
the premonition of his death."
The student of dream-lore knows the ego is ever watchful, and it
always impresses the lower mind when danger approaches. There are also
cases which appear to indicate when the ego is unable to impress the
individual. The information is often conveyed through another person,
as the above would indicate, who is sensitive enough to bring the
information in the waking state.
