'Are dreams fables? Some say they are, and that fables are lies. This is a mistake, and an unfortunate error for any one to fall into.. I do not suppose there can be a person found living who has not, at some period in their life, had a remarkable and vivid dream that has strongly impressed itself upon the imagination; but this as it may, dreams are prophetic.

Dreams in my opinion, are caused by the Soul, that is, when the sensual and mortal parts of man are, as it were, dead, then the Soul shines forth, and produces certain impressions upon the brain; these impressions being Dreams.'
