The following is probably from an Edgar Cayce Dream Course I took years ago:

The ancient Greeks paid close attention to certain dreams that seemed to predict illness. Hippocrates,the Greek physician called the father of medicine, thought that specific dream images prognosticated future ailments. Such dreams are probably responses of the brain to minute bodily symptoms of sensations that are magnified and dramatized during sleep.  Symptoms of illness often appear in dreams long before they are observable while awake.  As you learn the common dream signs of both illness and improvement, you have the opportunity to pick up forewarnings each night. When the images are dire, you can take action to protect yourself. For instance, if you dream that you are driving a car that’s going too fast and its brakes have failed you should find a way to slow down your waking lifestyle before you crash.

IF YOU DREAM ABOUT AN AUTOMOBILE AS A METAPHOR for your body, you should consider:

Which brand is it?

Which model (sedan, convertible, sports, racing)

What condition is it in?

How well does it function?

Are you at the steering wheel?  If not, who is in control?

Is the car going too slow or too fast?

Do the brakes work?

Is the car moving properly on the road or has it swerved off?

Is it stuck in a rut?

Is there danger of a crash?

Is there a flat tire?

Are the inner parts malfunctioning?

Is the exterior rusty or polished?

Is there enough gas?

UPDATE ON NURSERY RHYMES

Georgie Porgie:  About the Prince Regent George IV of Britain, who was exceedingly fat and left a string of illegitimate children.:“Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie, Kissed the girls and made them cry.”  Seems to me there’s a piece missing somewhere.

Little children today don’t skip rope to rhymes about Bill Clinton and Monica.  If you know what piece of the history is missing, please share with us.  Maybe they will some day skip rope while singing about the Kennedy’s and Marilyn Monroe or the president elect and Stormy Daniels?  My guess is there’s even more colorful events around the corner.  What say ye?

Three Blind Mice –  [Bloody] Queen Mary of England  refers to her order to have three Protestant bishops viciously  killed, possibly blinded.
