CHILDHOOD DREAMS

IF A BABY CRIES AT NIGHT, HOLD A PIECE OF CHEESECLOTH ABOVE IT
AND POUR HOT WAX ON THE CLOTH. THE WAX WILL FORM THE IMAGE OF THE
BABY'S DREAM, OR WHAT IT IS AFRAID OF.

Submitter comment: THIS SEEMS A RATHER DANGEROUS PRACTICE JUST TO SEE INTO THE MIND OF
A BABY. DREAMS DID HOWEVER, AND STILL DO SOMEWHAT, PLAY AN
IMPORTANT ROLE FOR SOME PEOPLE.
