World Dream Atlas

« The power to interpret dreams passes from father to son and mother to daughter. I began interpreting dreams at the age of ten under my father’s guidance. If you dream of losing a tooth, it means that someone in your family will soon die. If this happens, you must not tell anyone. You must tear a piece of bark from a tree and bite it in order to prevent the death. If you dream of a cat crossing your path, it means that you will suffer an accident that day. In order to avoid it, you must stay home until nightfall. If a pregnant woman dreams of a squealing pig beneath her house, it means that a creature called an aswang is trying to consume her fetus. If you want to stop nightmares, you should nail a stingray tail above your door. Its barbs will snare malevolent spirits. »
