one of three section men drowned by a flood near Medora
Saturday. Several years ago the boy announced the death of
an aunt shortly before a telegram confirmed his prophesy.

When the ego impresses the lower mind of approaching danger, in dreams
or otherwise, it is simply for the individual to be prepared for what
is in store for him, just as a wise physician tells his patient when
the end is near to be prepared.

Miss Miller, 375 Brenner street, Muncie, Germany, had a premonition of
her brother drowning. She states:

"My brother was a great swimmer. Two weeks before he was
drowned I had a premonition of his death. In my dream I saw
him diving into the river. His head struck a rock, then I
saw his lifeless body float before me for three successive
nights. I told him of my dream. I begged him not to go
bathing, but he only laughed at me, saying, 'I can protect
myself in the water.' His death was the exact working out of
the premonition of his death."

The student of dream-lore knows the ego is ever watchful, and it
always impresses the lower mind when danger approaches. There are also
cases which appear to indicate when the ego is unable to impress the
individual. The information is often conveyed through another person,
as the above would indicate, who is sensitive enough to bring the
information in the waking state.

HOW TO EVOLVE THE LARGER CONSCIOUSNESS.

It is a very difficult matter for the layman to bring his actual
astral experiences into the waking state (but fortunately for us) any
faculty that is lacking may be evolved. It takes a very sensitive
instrument to register all that is seen, heard and done while out of
the body. It also requires physical, emotional and mental harmony, or
the dreamer is apt to mistake an actual astral experience for an
automaton of the physical brain, or vice versa. To what extent the ego
would guide us and warn us, if we were only sensitive and responsive
to the delicate vibrations sent down into the physical brain, it is
impossible to guess, says L.W. Rogers in his volume, "Dreams and
Premonitions." The extent by which we are guided and warned from the
ego depends upon how much we are not swayed by our physical methods of
artificial civilization implying the power to impress the astral
experience on the physical brain.

The habit of our scattering thoughts must also be brought under
control. One mu
