tlic lamp from another place." If the person who carried the light and the owner of the 

 house into which the light was taken were plainly seen, then the dream had reference to 

 them. 



OF TWO LIGHTS. 



Supposing [in a dream ] that two lights were seen burning, going in opposite direc- 

 tions, each carried by an island chief, the dream meant that they were two opposing 

 lights, one chief opposing another chief. And if the dreamer saw the two lights burning, 

 and the light carried by one was extinguished, the high priest of the order of counsel- 

 ors would say: "War will follow, and the person whose light was extinguished will be 

 vanquished. \^ictory will not be attained by him in wars." 



54. OF A IJOWEL DKKAM. 



Su])i)osing that a man or woman had a l)owcI dream, and that the intestines 

 were drawn out and not returned to their usual form, the interpretation of the dream 

 would be as follows: A man would leave his wife, or vice versa. If it did not so refer, 

 the interpretation of the dream would be fulfilled in the death of either. The dream, 

 however, did not i)articularly ai:)ply to any other ])erson; it referred to the dreamer him- 

 self. 



OF A KITK FLYING DREAM. 



This dream had reference to no one else but the dreamer, whether it related to 

 property, or referred to something else that he was ])erha])s in need of. If the dreamer, 

 in a dream flew a kite and drew in the line, piling it uj) before him, he would have great 

 hopes the next day of receiving a large fortune. If gambling occu])ied his mind it would 

 succeed. But if the dreamer flew a kite and while jmlling in the line the kite broke 

 away, then he would not be fortunate the next day. If he went out to gamble he would 

 lose all, nothing remaining to him. 



55. OF POI FERMENTING AND SPILLING OVER A CALADASH. 



This was one of the worst dreams in relation to altercations, or to other matters 

 liable to trial. If a person dreamed of fermented poi, that it spilled outside of the cala- 

 bash, then the interpreter of dreams would say: "A word will come in the morning; 

 a word which will be widespread." But, if the dreamer saw that the ])oi fermented with- 

 out spilling outside of the calabash before he awoke, then the interpreter of dreams 

 would sav: "A word will come in the morning, which, however, will not go forth at 

 large." But if fermenting poi was seen in the calabash, and that the calabash broke as 

 the dreamer saw it, then the interpreter of dreams would say: "This is a bad dream. If 

 word comes and it relates to transgression, then it will not be without misfortune."

There were various auguries recognized among this people relating to the f)rder
