Dreams also are certain signs of the affections of the mind; as of desires, hope, joy, 1and mirth, and also of perfect qualities. Wherefore fearful men do see other manner of things, than men of courage; covetous men other things, than they which be in hope; also the learned are wont to have far other manner of dreams, than the country man, or crafts-man hath. For even when we sleep, the mind is occupied about those things, which we are continually or commonly doing. There is also another thing to be considered, as we are well admonished by Galen: 2that there be certain kinds of meats, which being naturally choleric, flegmatike, or melancholic, do by reason of their quality stir up about the fantasy of men in their sleep, 3as it were shapes and similitudes of things agreeable to those humours; although the temperature of the bodies of such, do not of it self offend by those humours. Which thing also a physician must observe in dreams; namely to see what manner of meat the sick man used. Yea and wine (as teacheth Aristotle) being immoderately taken, doth in the time of sleep make many deformed shapes of things.
