When a dream is a sign it is referred unto a cause, namely unto the humours abounding, which humours it signifieth. It may also be called a sign of some event to come, because from the same cause, that is, from the humours which are signified, may be caused either sickness or health. Wherefore a dream, as it is a sign of an humour, so also is it a token of an effect, which is produced of it. For from the self same cause, namely from the humour, springeth both a dream, and also a disease. Howbeit they are not converted, for sickness or health are not signs of dreams.1

It maye also be called a signe of some euent to come, bycause from the same cause, that is, from the humors whiche are signified, may be caused eyther sicknes or health. Wherefore a dreame, as it is a signe of an humor, so also is it a token of an effect, which is produced of it. For from the self same cause, namely from the humor, springeth both a dreame, and also a discease. Howbeit they are not conuerted, for sicknes or health are not signes of dreames.1
- 1Dreams are sometimes causes of the things which we do.Dreames are somtimes causes of ye things which we do.
But now let us see, how dreams may sometimes be called the causes. That is then, when any man by his dream is persuaded, either to do, or to try any thing, as if a man be made whole of the sickness of the spleen, for that that he was let blood in the outward side of his hand, for so was he taught to do in his dream. And now and then it happeneth unto the learned, that they find those things whereof they are in doubt in the same books, where in their dream they thought they had found or red them.1
