Henry I.. Wehman says in his Dream Book that if 'a person dreams he is buried he will meet with much misery, but if he dreams of the moon, it foretells delay in receiving money. With such interpretations, it would seem that Nick has a weary road of misfortune ahead of him. Mike, another JCBC sophomore, often dreams about money. Weh- man says, To find money, mourn- ing and loss, to lose money, good business, to see it without taking it, anger and disappointment, to count it, gainf' Marian, also a sophomore, dreams of going ice- skating in the nude. To dream of nudity denotes pleasure with a sorrowful end. Her ice-skating shows she will engage in some unprofitable undertaking. Dick, a sophomore aviation stu- dent, dreamt the night before his first solo flight that he was headed straight for the sun. As he was going up in the airplane the in- struments jammed, he couldnit turn the plane or slow it down. Dick will be happy to learn that the dreaming of an airplane means he will receive a large sum of money. He will be successful be- cause to dream of the sun por- tends success in money matters. Night after night in my dreams, my teeth continuously fall out,v explained Pat, a freshman. This is a warning to watch her health, it is also a portent of financial diffi- culties. To dream of an automobile ac- cident as Charlie, a sophomore, does, fo re tells disappointment. Helen, a freshman at ICBC, dreams of snakes surrounding her bed. This is a sign she will achieve success as a result of hard work. If a snake should bite her, she will quarrel with a friend or relative. Did you ever dream of passing botany with an Av as sophomore Emory does? It is unfortunate for you as this accomplishment is a warning that you will be let down. Wfhenever WVanda, a fresh- man, dreams, it is always the same situation, with few exceptions. I always find myself in an old house admiring the quaint beauty of its age, when suddenly I am fright- ened by something-be it a cob- web, a basement or an attic. Au- thor Leo Francis describes such a dream in his Dreams and Their Meanings. It is a bad omen to dream you are wandering through an old house. In addition, if you dream of fear you will be de- ceived by someone near to you. Are you among the many male students who dream of being ship- wrecked on an island with many beautiful girls? It is a good omen to the dreamer of girls for it promises long life and riches. But the dream of being shipwrecked is a sign of ill-fortune. Whether you or others are involved, it is a bad omen for lovers. Talmud, the Hebrew Bible, says, A dream which is not explained is like a letter which has not been openedf, To understand their meanings may give you an insight into your future, by heeding a warning sounded in dreams you can often avert trouble.

CAN DREAMS FORETELL .... It was three o'clock in the morning when Judy, a Broward junior College sophomore, flapped- her arms and flew through the air. She soared above the campus of JCBC cutting off the heads of her teachers with a great sword she firmly held in her hand. At the same time, on the other side of town, Nick, a freshman, was watching his own funeral being conducted by men of the moon. Both occurrences are very odd ways for students to be spending their nights but, though odd, they are not at all impossible. The By GREG OLIVER ILLUSTRATED bv GREG OLIVER above accounts were experienced during those somewhat common- place journeys all of us take through the mysterious world of dreams. But what are those sub- conscious visions called dreams? XVhat power do they have over us? How valuable are they to our lives? And, above all, can dreams foretell our future? According to Henri Bergsonfs The World of Dreams, such thoughts are the illusions of the mind during sleep. The psycholo- gists of the present day consider dreams to be a valuable part of fx alia D . g it f psychoanalyzing the nature and origins of a persons difficulties. Sigmund Freud has taught that dreams are not meaningless thoughts, but are full of informa- tion of great importance to the dreamer. Judy will be happy to learn that to dream of flying through the air is an omen of good fortune. To dream of car- rying a sword signifies the posses- sion of great power, and her cnt- ting off her teachers' heads means an unexpected legacy will be left to her. As for Nicks dream, author 9

The faces are strange, the procedures are not clear, and the atmosphere is adult and progressive. Although he feels confused and perhaps even a little afraid of failure, his enthusiasm, desire, and anticipation mount within him from the moment he registers. Hope becomes an integral part of the Freshman, and everything he attempts is touched by it. This, cou- pled with desire, enables him to overcome many obstacles during the year, including his feelings of frustration and lack of self confidence.

Sometimes it comes as a surprise to the new student that it is possible to attend classes on the same campus with a friend and yet for an entire term never come face to face with him. Class schedules all differ and it is not unusual for a student to attend classes only on certain days of the school week. It is a novelty for many Freshmen to attend classes with students of various ages. The word Freshman denotes no spe- cial age but merely one in his first year of college. Ex-service men, wives with families, or teachers themselves may comprise a class along with upper classmen. All are bound together by the quest for knowledge.
