A DREAM HOUSE.
(To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR:1 Sts,---The story of a "dream house" in your issues of May 25th and June 1st brought to my recollection a curious instance of the same kind that happened to me some years ago. One night I awoke with a great shriek. My sister, who was sleeping in the room, started up. "What is the matter P" "Nothing," I said, almost laughing. But I saw beside my bed a strange dark young man, dressed in a brown coat and black-and-white plaid trousers ; the clothes seemed as much part of the dream or appearance as the figure. A few months after I went to a country house where there was a large party for a hunt week in the neigh- bourhood. Amongst the guests visiting at the house I recognised the dark man I had seen, dressed in the brown coat and black-and-white trousers ; precisely as he appeared in my vision or dream. I mentioned it to several people. It was joked over. A few months krIer on, the same man with another gentleman whom I knew called at my house; they had been otter hunting since the small hours of the morning, and were half famished. After refreshment, the- friend of my dream asked me to show him the church, which was quite near, and play the organ to him (he knew I did so for the service). On the way he said:—" I have had a most extraordinary feeling ever since I have been here; I feel as if I had been here before. A most strange feeling. The house and place are quite familiar to me." I did not mention to him his having appeared to me, but I told those to whom I had narrated my dream what he said when visiting the place, and I was not laughed at this time.—I am, Sir, &c.,
