what did you dream last night ? a saucer of wedding rings is placed before her . twice in succession I dreamed of a wedding , one of which was most distinct and realistic . in my dream , I was married in a small room like a registry office , and a ring was taken from several in a saucer and placed on the table . then my boy friend came in with an open-necked shirt on and hands in his pockets . he walked over to me and wanted to know what I was waiting for . I picked up the ring , placed it on my finger and said : people will wonder why I have n&apos;t got an engagement ring . with that we walked out together . - Miss C M , Derby . explanation - you are dissatisfied with your present relationship with your boy friend . you are anxious to get married to him . picking at random a ring offered to you out of a saucer indicates you are in too much of a hurry to be married . your boy friend appears so unsuitably dressed because you are not sure whether he is the right man for you . your remark indicates you are uneasy about the way things are at present , but walking out with him shows you are prepared to put up with a lot of trouble just to be in his company . advice - you must discuss the whole situation with your boy friend . if he does not intend to marry you , then a clean break would be best . her door is battered open - and in walk two bulls . in my dream , two bulls batter upon my door and I have to open it and divide my only loaf of bread equally between them . if one gets a larger piece than his companion , he becomes angry . then they drink from a horse-trough and go peacefully away , but I know they will always return . my main thought is that I must be nice to them , and not show any preference either way . - Miss C T , Essex . explanation - the two bulls in your dream are men who seek your friendship . there are probably two men in your life , and you can n&apos;t make up your mind which one you would rather have . advice - you tend to be slightly immature in your outlook on life . try to be more sincere and serious . she can n&apos;t escape that voice . I dreamed I could hear the voice of nagging authority , which blamed me for dressing a two-year-old boy on a very hot day in heavy clothing instead of tussore silk . the voice kept on urging and nagging me to find the lighter dress . I am unmarried and in my sixties . - Miss M M , Bath . explanation - the voice of nagging authority quite likely belongs to your mother . she abuses you for being unable to handle a baby and therefore , in her opinion , you are unfit to marry . advice - concentrate on the present . try to forget about your mother &apos;s former domineering attitude towards you . a belt filled with diamonds . I dreamed I was in a crowded room . in our midst was a woman who has a reputation for going after men . my husband walked in carrying a doll made of fur fabric , with a price tag of thirty-five and six attached to it . he threw the doll into the lap of the woman , saying that the gift would please her . I was furious . he tried to calm me , handing over a pink felt belt , with a pin stuck in it . I threw it back . do n&apos;t be angry , he said . your present is more valuable than hers . open it up . it &apos;s full of diamonds ! I picked up the belt , which fell to the floor , but hesitated to open it . before I came to any decision , I woke up . I have been happily married for twenty-one years and love my husband very much . - Mrs B G H , Jersey . explanation - no matter how happily you are married and how much you trust your husband , suspicion , tinged with jealousy , will occur , especially if you love him very much . your dream was caused by the thought that another woman might be able to please your husband more than you could . he walks into the room and gives her the doll and you the belt . on the surface the doll looks the more valuable item , but your husband tells you the belt is full of diamonds . the trouble is you hesitate to open it , fearing that , after all , the diamonds may not be there . advice - despite your happy marriage , you appear to have a shred of distrust toward your husband . search your memory , find the reason for it , tell your husband about it and this slight shadow of suspicion will cease to trouble you . strange encounter with a talking snake . I am shortly to be married and we are going to live in a small house in the country . outside the house there is a water-hole . I dreamed my aunt and uncle came to visit us . as I was seeing them to their car a great snake rose out of the hole and began to chase us round the field . it caught Uncle and squashed him to death . next , it caught hold of my aunt , but I cried out , please , snake , do n&apos;t kill her . she is a good woman . take me instead . all right , the snake replied . I only kill wicked people . I will guard your house for you on condition that you bake me an apple pie every day . this I did and the snake and I became friendly , but a week later he said : the weather &apos;s getting chilly now , so I &apos;m going home . there my dream ended . - Miss R , Bolton . explanation - your dream concerns your fiance . the snake is a symbol of his manliness . he wants no interference with the pleasure he enjoys in your company . the snake kills your uncle , because he is another man , and lets your aunt go , because she is a woman , and so could n&apos;t become a rival . now you offer yourself to the snake to save your aunt , and the snake becomes your guardian ( husband ) . advice - your dream clearly expresses you have certain doubts about yourself or your fiance , and are afraid that with him you will lead a rather lonely life , and in the end he will get tired of you and leave you . discuss the future fully with him , and then make the final decision . she opened door after door . I dreamed that I saw my friend driving an old car . she and the three boy passengers were all wearing crash helmets . the car swerved on to the footpath and crashed through the window of a shop . no one was hurt . my girl friend was taken to a hotel in town and I went to see her as I thought she may have been injured . I looked into every room in the hotel but could n&apos;t find her . - Miss W , Kilmarnock . explanation - you envy your girl friend who embarks on adventures with the necessary precautions - the crash helmets . this explains her ability to get out of events in which other girls might get hurt . you go to the hotel not to offer sympathy but to ask her how she gets out of her predicaments . you can n&apos;t find her and this shows that you do not fully approve of her behaviour . advice - do not try to model yourself on your girl friend . she may seem to be enjoying herself , but in the long run she will regret her recklessness . an aeroplane shoots her . I have had this dream twice recently . I am in a grocer &apos;s shop and just as I come out I see an aeroplane hovering in the sky . suddenly it starts to fire at me and I am wounded in the left arm . I am eighteen . could you please tell me the meaning of this ? - Mrs W , Scotland . explanation - your dream indicates a fear that someone might get you involved in some unexpected prank in which you would be the sufferer . advice - if there &apos;s anyone , friend or relative , who constantly teases you and tries to make you inferior , trying to give you the impression you are too young to be married , stop seeing that person . if this is impossible where you live , change your abode . if the teaser happens to be your husband , make a solid stand against him and hold your status as a capable wife . wants her husband - but can n&apos;t find him . I dreamed I was going with a young woman to see the remains of her old home , which was now a tourist attraction . as we turned down a lane , I knew we were going the wrong way . two queer looking animals were chasing each other round a pool , and I was afraid of them . I felt very unhappy and wanted to see my husband , but I could n&apos;t think of any excuse to get him down there to see me . I knew that the woman , who turned into my sister-in-law , would n&apos;t understand how I felt about everything . I was desperate , because I knew I would have to stay for a holiday . - Mrs C T , Coventry . explanation - the young woman is trying to lead you astray . you follow her despite your knowledge you are doing the wrong thing . the queer animals frighten you and you blame your sister-in-law for your troubles . you would like to have your husband with you , but he is not coming . therefore , you &apos;ll have to spend a holiday with his sister , whom you apparently dislike , or may even despise . advice - you are frightened of the influence your sister-in-law has over you , and also object to it . in your dream , you tried to get your husband to help you in whatever problem you face in connection with her . do it in real life , too . tell him how you feel about his sister , and if there is a problem , try to solve it together . stop that girl ! they shouted . I dreamed I was driving a bus along the main road at about eighty miles an hour . then , without warning , I suddenly turned down a side street , causing an accident with another bus coming up behind me . when I saw what had happened , I jumped out of my bus and ran for my life down the street . I could hear a crowd of people chasing after me shouting : that &apos;s her ! stop that girl ! she &apos;s just caused an accident ! - Miss B I , Bradford . explanation - driving a vehicle means you have an intense desire to command your own life . driving the bus at a high speed , causing an accident and then trying to escape instead of facing the consequences indicates you could be already involved in an adventure which could have serious and damaging consequences - not only for yourself , but other people as well . advice - if my assumption is correct and you are trying to embark on some sort of an adventure - it might be a love-affair - take the dream &apos;s warning and do n&apos;t . if the dream is merely an expression of your state of mind , then try to make peace with the world . attractive stranger gives her flowers . the man I dream about passes my home every day , but we have only said good-morning to each other . I have two of a family , and my husband is inclined to be very jealous . I dreamed my husband and I were at the front door as this man passed by . when he saw us , he went across the road and picked some flowers out of a garden . he gave my husband some tall , red flowers and me a posy of pansies . - Mrs C H Somerset . explanation - you are trying to make amends for your husband &apos;s jealousy . that &apos;s why the stranger strikes up a friendship with you and your husband , and gives flowers to both of you . advice - do n&apos;t let your husband &apos;s jealousy get you down . whenever he has an attack of jealousy , face him squarely and do n&apos;t let him brow-beat you . visits far-away places as she sleeps . I have dreamed I was in Austria , twice in Germany and once in France .
