☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue presents dream-based stories that explore the hidden meanings of nocturnal visions. One story follows Miss Beck, who consults a dream analyst to interpret her recurring dreams, only to discover that the symbolic images—including wild flowers, a lion, stairs, and a coffin—represent her subconscious desire for a happy marriage and adventurous future. Another story recounts a young man named Driscoll who is haunted by a recurring dream of a car crash that turns out to have been a premonition; his father reveals the dream symbolized Driscoll's internal conflict between obedience and independence, resolved through their reconciliation. A third story, "Vision of Doom," tells of Helen Lang, a woman aboard an interstate bus in 1941 who experiences a prophetic nightmare of a train crash that actually occurs, killing twenty-two people, though Helen mysteriously survives.
Mrs. C.C.D. from Parkersburg, West Virginia shares a recurring nightmare that has haunted her for years: trapped in a stone tower cell on a cliff's edge, she hears the approach of a mysterious hooded figure while voices of distress echo from neighboring cells, and her husband and deceased mother call out from below, racing to save her before an unknown terror reaches her door. Richard Temple, dream analyst, examines her vivid account and offers his interpretation of what these terrifying symbols truly mean.
Walter Driscoll carries a haunting nightmare that's plagued him since childhood—a dream of witnessing something terrible in a sprawling old house, something involving a coffin and a name he can no longer remember. When dream analyst Richard Temple encounters the troubled man by chance, Driscoll reveals his lifelong torment: was the nightmare real, or merely a fever dream his parents dismissed? Now, Temple sets out to uncover the truth hidden in Driscoll's fractured memories and the crumbling estate where it all began.
When Helen Lang experiences a terrifying vision aboard an interstate bus in 1941, she becomes convinced the vehicle will collide with a train—and demands to be let off before disaster strikes. Her premonition proves accurate, but the consequences of her escape haunt her with a guilt that defies logic, raising the chilling question of whether foresight is a blessing or a curse.
