Shared dream
I would rather not go into details, especially in writing, though I think Mr. Gurney is right in wishing for them. Some day I may give them, but what I told him in my first letter is literally true. The dream was an intensely improbable one. One curious thing about it was that, while looking at the appearance, I knew perfectly well I was lying in the particular bed I was in, and on the left-hand side, with my head towards the door. When I awoke, I was in precisely that position. Mrs. Fielding, of Yarlington Eectory, near Bath, writes : — November 1885. (90) The other night my husband and I dreamt at the same hour, the same dream — a subject which neither of us had been thinking of for months. It was a dream of wandering about our first home, and in it looking at the same spot. « jANE g. Fielding. In answer to inquiries, Mrs. Fielding adds : — I do not remember anything more about the dream I spoke of. It was 17 years since we left Linacre Court, near Dover, the place my husband and I dreamt of at the same hour. We both dreamt of walking about the old place — and the old woodman — just before we awoke ; and we had not been either of us thinking of it in the least. My husband laughs at all such things as having any import, but to please me wrote the enclosed. The enclosure was : — I remember awaking one morning about three weeks ago, and my wife telling me she had had a long dream about our first married home. I said ' How strange, as I have been dreaming the same just before I awoke.'
