Interpretation of dreams: "a dream during sleep says this accurately".¹ "If you die during sleep, you will be without cares."² "If you laugh during sleep, you will have difficult turns."³ "If you cry during sleep, you will be completely happy."⁴

Greek original · Adler’s text

Καθ' ὕπνους· λύσις ὀνείρων· ὄναρ καθ' ὕπνους νητρεκὲς λαλεῖν τόδε. θανὼν καθ' ὕπνους φροντίδων ἔσῃ δίχα. γελῶν καθ' ὕπνους δυσφόρους ἕξεις τρόπους. κλαίων καθ' ὕπνους παγχαρὴς πάντως ἔσῃ.
