To see your hair turning gray, foretells death and contagion in the family of some relative or some friend.

However, any of the troubles and uncomfortable situations you will have, will last only for temporarily period of time. The dream also symbolizes your laziness when dealing with the severities you have. Anyway, there is no question about your ability to be a productive person, but the only reason of your possible failures is your slackness. Youve got to make it better than it actually is.

…It is by no means uncommon to dream of the dead, and as a rule such dreams are of little or no significance. There are, however, exceptions, as, for example, dreams which are extraordinarily vivid and in which the dead appear with some specific purpose; and in these cases I fancy projections take place, and the immaterial body of the sleeper meets the phantasm of the dead on the super physical plane.For the following illustration of this kind of dream I am again indebted to News from theInvisible World. The events in the story, I am about to quote, happened about seventy years ago in the south of Scotland.”Mr. Reid, of Bowland, a gentleman of landed property in the Vale of Gala, was prosecuted for a very considerable sum, the accumulated arrears of tithes, for which he was said to be indebted to a noble family, the lay proprietors.”Mr….
