Practical Dreamistry

Here's a Convenience advertisement promising that this book can help anyone read the past and predict future visions.As an convenience academic , I'm very dubious about the ad's claims.

Practical Dreamistry

There is no more important study than that of dreamistry.

Many people are interested in it.

This book furnishes trustworthy information

& with a little practice any person will be able

to read dreams, recall past events, and forecast future visions.

Fully Illustrated.

Hints for the Realms of Dreaming

This convenience writer has used a Routledge and Sons booklist to craft her commentary.Convenience scholars note that she mentions an open cage, and she states that the openness is created by the wild [read natural] experience.The writer suggests that some dreamers may be caged and may not realize that the door to the enclosure is open.She also emphasizes the notion that dreams are common and freely available.The writer tells her readers that imagination and fancy may provide the desired resolution.She advocates exiting the cage and engaging with many different ideas.

Tourists' Guide Hints for the Realms of Dreaming

The wild state breeds the open cage.

How dreams ought to be managed:

Wholly know they are common objects of the ether.

Grow them with 200 different types of fancy,

with 200 illustrations of imagination.

The Illusion of Theories

This convenience writer shows her bias toward relativism by telling readers that thoughts do not necessarily reflect truth.She asserts that theories are created by thoughts which are created by experience. She would say that people notice the thoughts that meet expectations that have already been formed.For this writer, theories are metaphors for truth. They are possibilities.

The Possible Illusion of Theories

Thoughts are an echo of causes and judgments

& can be inspired representations of truth.

Investigate the metaphor.

General Dream Conundrums

Convenience work is often expressed using metaphor.Practitioners sometimes fashion conundrums to encourage clients to think and feel in new ways, and these conundrums frequently contain metaphor.Here is a Convenience writer asking her reader to consider how the feeling of comfort may be compared to the seasons of flora.

General Dream Conundrums.

The dream conundrum generally contains a riddle.

For example, how is understanding the natural magic

of trees, plants, and seeds

like comfort?

Hint:

consider the circularity

supporting the seed and the great tree

Impeachment and Dream Witnesses

Here's another Convenience from the philosopher tradition.The writer's use of the word Impeachment does not suggest illegality; she is asking her readers to be thoughtful and precise in analysis and word usage.She asks us to consider our definitions of competency, relevancy, good, form, and nature.She would suggest that we may each hold quite different understandings of the words. She also suggests that meaning may change over time.

Impeachment of Dream Witnesses

Competency is a hopeful necessity.

Relevancy is good,

but what constitutes relevancy & what is good

when relative time and nature and form

are taken into consideration?

Truthful Analogy

This Convenience is from the Simplicity tradition.The writer believes that the work has been overly complicated, or has been presented as being too mystical or complex.She tells her readers that luck and coincidence have little to do with a good dream.A pleasant dream is whatever we (each of us or groups of us) consider to be a pleasing combination of images, meanings, etc.

In Truthful Analogy

Independent of coincidence, or fortuity of any kind,

the very ground work and basis of Dream Harmony

is simply a pleasing ensemble.

Kitchen Dreams

This Convenience is an ode to the everyday, to the common, to the plain.I love this message for its support of the workaday world, and its assertion that not all dreams need to be fanciful and spectacular.The text uses the metaphor of a kitchen to deliver its meaning, for it is kitchens of all sorts that deliver nourishment.

The Cool Gaze

Kitchen Dreams

The kitchen dream is essential;

it is everyday, is elemental.

The practical side of dreaming is nourishing and needs no defense.

It is important because it affirms the plain statement

and describes the Book of the Workaday.

Re-Union

This Convenience writer welcomes all aspects of life into dreams. She invites the pleasant experiences and the [stereotypically] less pleasant experiences to reunite.She suggests that all emotions, thoughts, and states dance together to form better dreams.Her inference is that people are more whole[some] when they embrace both the light and dark parts of themselves.The date on the invitation places this convenience in 1868.

Basic Condition of Dream Life

This Convenience presents another argument for the relativity of dream work. The writer asserts that dreams are connected to other dreams, and that they, and experiences, are not linear manifestations.They are events that form, un-form, and re-form constantly.Convenience scholars have located the original text for this piece in The Psychology of Attention, published by Ribot in 1890. The image of the clock comes from Electrical Clocks and Clockwork by Henry Dent Gardner, 1879.

The Basic Condition of Dream Life

namely, change, is not a chain, a series.

It is a mobile aggregate which is being incessantly formed, unformed, and re-formed.

More than once it happens that a dream evokes another dream

because there is a common emotional fact which unites them,

given time.

No. 2 Theory of Colour Dreaming

This is another convenience from a writer privileging the personal experience above external explanations and expectations.Note the use of the word qualitatively. This word asserts the importance of quality over quantity; quality can be a personal metric.

No. 2 Theory of Colour Dreaming

Investigators and dream workers have long felt

the power of colour and of sensation qualitatively described;

for colour is a set of conditions, a position,

an experience.

Adventure Vocabulary from Bizarre Book-stall

There is no narrative in this mid-19th-century convenience. This client has chosen a list of words that evoke adventure for her.Practitioners work with clients to uncover new dreams, but it is always a pleasure to work with clients who are motivated to independently define their own senses of how dreams might appear.Much of the work is individualized in any case; what is desirable for one client may be the exact wrong choice for another client.Note the use of the word Bizarre. The words bazaar and bizarre are interchangeable within the convenience tradition.

Center for Convenience Advertisement

Research facilities for Convenience practitioners have always existed. Here is a late-19th-century advertisement for one such facility.Notice the lack of an address; the facilities' locations were shared only among practitioners.The advertisement urges visitors to select any topic of intense interest. The Centers were and are well-known for the breadth and depth of their materials

Going to The Center for Convenience?

For example,

the entire sixth floor is exclusively for research.

There are modern resources and historic texts

as well as many other convenience clues

which mean so much for our profession.

Dreaming and Plain Facts

This convenience comes from the Positionality tradition. I personally love this tradition for its insistence on valuing different viewpoints and different dreams.Positionality theory posits that no two people share an identical understanding for any given word or phrase.Though practitioners fully recognize that words are fundamental, many also recognize that the words are placeholders for meaning.

Dreaming and Plain Facts

Verily, plain meaning is an illusion.

Different life-contexts, different mental worlds repudiate the principle.

The critical domain is figurative and symbolic;

what each means is likely different in some way.

How could it be otherwise?

The Best Case

This convenience is from the philosophy tradition.Its writer asks her clients to consider what might be a welcoming influence, and to ponder how much access the clients are willing to cede for new dreams.

The Best Case

The most essential threshold:

effort is wanted when the border is open to genial influences

(obviously).

But, what is genial?

And how far open?

Audacity in Women

Convenience scholars believe this piece was created between 1905 and 1920.The convenience writer explicitly defends women's spirits and capabilities.Researchers have found that the image of the plowing woman comes from How to Make a Vegetable Garden by Edith Fullerton, 1905, and that the background has been cut from a1906 Sears and Roebuck Wallpaper Samples book.

Audacity in Women

Since words have power,

care should be taken to warn against

the old idea that women are delicate.

Women have great strength.

Women are venturesome.

Beneath a Deposit of Time

This convenience writer believes that new dreams may be found in the remnants of earlier dreams.She recognizes the import of these dreams to a earlier imagination, and asks her clients to let those dreams fill the heart and mind once again.Many convenience scholars have theorized that this writer believes those first dreams to be among the most pure and authentic dreams.The writer has used an image from the 1879 edition of Electrical Clocks and Clockwork by Henry Dent Gardner to illustrate her emphasis on time.

On the Occurrence of Dream Artifacts Beneath a Deposit of Time

An examination of the present may reveal

the remnant of a dream of greater volume

which had, at one time, practically filled the heart.

Learn how to remember.

Seek to Make the Surface Solid

Here is a farm convenience giving practitioners a small set of basic admonitions.I, and other convenience scholars, particularly appreciate the emphasis on curiosity.In this convenience, curiosity is more than a suggestion; it is the central core value for both client and practitioner.

Farm Convenience 53

Seek to Make

the surface solid and firm.

In addition, there should be a central core of

Curiosity.

Persons are Gifted

This writer has used the 1897 edition of Pastures and Pasture Plants by William Toogood to create her Convenience.Her hand coloring adds interest and emphasis to the piece.I love this convenience for its insistence that virtues are not rare, and that they can be found in many people, if the time is taken to get to know the individual(s).Convenience scholars have classified this convenience as one of the Egalitarian Conveniences. This subgenre of conveniences supports the idea that truth does not belong to any one individual or any one group.Virtue is not rare.

Farm Convenience 47

Persons are gifted with NOT-rare virtues.

Watch carefully.

The best plan that we have heard of, or have tried,

is seeing underneath.

The Cool Gaze: The Living Dream

Here's another convenience from the practitioner who uses the Boston Cooking School Magazine as her primary source.For this convenience, she's cut out letters from the magazine title and has pasted them into the page she wanted to use for content.She urges her readers to see the possibilities around them in the entire atmosphere, and to practice living in the present.

The Cool Gaze: The Living-Dream

The living-dream centers in the entire atmosphere.

Its chief characteristic is a present sense

of realizing knowledge and comfort.

Volume of Dreaming

This convenience writer comes from the wisdom tradition, and she reminds her readers that life's experiences can include many aspects: ideas, mysteries, mind, body, and shadow.Life is a comprehensive anthology.

Volume of Dreaming

Do not prevent feeling the mystery.

It is linked with shadow and concept and the mind and the body.

It is part of the universal anthology.
