The interpretation of dreams digested into five books by that ancient and excellent philosopher, Artimedorus / compiled by him in Greek, and translated afterwards into the Latine, the Italian, the French, and Spanish tongues, and now more exactly rendered into English ...

Of things which one dreams to befall little children beyond their Age.

TO dream of any thing to befall little children, which is not propper to theyr age, is not good: as to dreame that men children have beards, and gray hayrs, and that little wenches should be married, and have children; which signifieth to them death at hand. And yet to dream that little children speak well is good, because it is proper both to man and woman to speake. But as for other things happening beyond theyr age in those which are not very lit∣tle children, it was declared in the first Book, in the Chapter of alteration, and change: dreams which are of the genera∣tion of children, or of weddings, foretel that our children being in a farre Country, shal return; especially the wife and children, if by chance any one hath took them from us: if one dreams to plough the earth, and sow seed therein, it signifies the same.
