This short text is a nice skeptics' treatment of the subject matter- it categorizes the different common types of dreams, gives tips on how to remember ones' dreams, and speaks about somnambulism, the occult interpretation of dreaming itself, and gives some examples of predictions via dreaming. It also ponders the symbolism of "Alice in Wonderland."

Lehmann's work on mysticism is quite fascinating; it does not simply relegate itself to the normal timeline of high antiquity, early Christian movements, and latter day ones, but delves into Hindu, Persian, Chinese, and even animist spiritual rituals and systems. While it proposes a generally evolutionist timeline to the development of mystic thought, it is more apologetic than most contemporary works.

It has been several months since I wrote anything about my literature; but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy!
Over the last few months I have obtained almost a hundred new literary works to edit- some short, some long, all occult or occult-adjacent. Four of these works are done with the illustrations ready to go. A fifth work is done pending completed illustrations. A sixth work is about half done. I decided to just list the forthcoming titles here. My plan is to complete four additional works by years' end and get all six of the current titles out before Halloween (which of course is important!)
-Ancient Mystic Oriental Masonry (Clymer)
-Hellenism and Christianity (Bevan)
-Hindu Magic (Carrington)
-Mysticism in English Literature (Spurgeon)
-Mysticism in Heathendom and Christianity (Lehmann)
-Satans Devices and the Believers Victory (Parsons)
I have a few other works in varying degrees of completion which are partly edited and, as I said, many more which will need to be formatted first. I anticipate releasing perhaps fifteen to twenty works in 2023 as well.
Onward!
This little work was designed as a cautionary and basic introductory manuscript to warn would-be occultists about some of the pitfalls of researching magic, religion, mysticism, and allied topics. It covers charlatans (at large), fortune telling, spiritism, astrology, superstitions good and bad, folklore and its importance, and many similar subtopics. I like to imagine it is more rigorous than many comparable works, which tend towards either the strictly incredulous or the strictly skeptical.
