“C.C.M.” sends me from his own experience a case of dream-intimation of death which works in with others I have printed.

{{Style P-Quote|1=“Towards the end of 1875, a relative in the country, from whom I had received much kindness, and whose house had been almost a second home to me from my childhood, lay seriously ill. All the family knew that the end was approaching, but though I naturally often thought of him, I had heard nothing more of his condition for a few days before the night or early morning in which I had the following dream. I was playing with children in a part of the grounds near his house, when suddenly I heard my name loudly called from the house in the powerful voice of my relative when in vigorous health. I was startled, having in my dream a distinct recollection of his illness. Running to the house, I was still more surprised to find him sitting on a chair on the gravel walk in front, outside the library window. Near him stood his daughter and her husband—so at least I guessed, for whereas his figure was perfectly defined and in light, those of the others were more obscure. All traces of his illness had disappeared, unless his sitting was a sign of weakness. He seemed altogether the fresh, healthy man of years ago. I exclaimed ‘Oh, how much better you are looking!’ There was some reply, but then the dream faded, and in recording it (as I did) next morning I could not be sure whether the words impressed on me, ‘Yes, I am very glad to get out,’ were an obscure recollection, or naturally suggested by the imagination of a Spiritualist like myself. However, on awaking I remembered the dream, and at once said to myself, ‘—— is dead.’ On going down late to breakfast I found a letter announcing the fact. He had died the previous evening, many hours, of course, before my dream.”}}
