Dreams and Their Meanings. E-book. Formato PDF Horace Gordon Hutchinson   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

I ought to explain why I, being a person without any of the scientific attainments that would fit one for the task, take it on me to write of dreams. It occurred to me that there were certain kinds of dreams common to nearly every one. Every one (using the word in a liberal sense, and not in the grudging spirit of the man who objected to ninety-nine ducks being spoken of as a round hundred) is familiar with the dream of falling over a precipice. A great many people know the dream that they are flying. Few have not dreamed that they have entered a polite assembly in a costume very much more appropriate to a Turkish bath than to their visionary surroundings, and there are many other common, generally familiar, dreams. And this being so, I was struck by the fact that no one seemed to have tried to find the common cause of each kind respectively of familiar dreams.

When Scotland gave to England the rather dubious blessing of her Scottish kings, she gave therewith a gift which was an undoubted boon the game of golf. For very many years England was more blind to the merits of the game than of the Stuarts. The Scottish Court, taking its country leisure at Greenwich, recreated itself for the toils of government by playing golf on Black heath. If Blackheath was as flinty then as it is today, that fact may partly excuse and explain their governing so badly.

Montrose, Peterhead, Nairn, North Berwick, and all along the Forth, Sandwich, Bembridge, Aldeburgh, Westward ho, Aberdovey, Harlech, Hoylake, and plenty more. It is no use naming them all; but at all, SO far as I know, that have the real links characteristics, there is evidence that the sea and a river have been at work to gether to produce them. Some years ago, as I say, we used to think that we could not play golf on ground Of any other kind, and this al though the golf club of Blackheath is the oldest establishment of its kind known to history, and although one of the Perth clubs dates back to 1824: The Perth ground, however, formed by the silting of the great river, remote though it is from the sea, has a measure Of likeness with the real links soil. We seem to see a formation Of rather a like kind in the two Richmond greens. As for Blackheath, that was accepted frankly as a substitute, the best that could be Obtained, so far from the sea, for the real thing.
