'Now I call that a dream, which proceedeth either from the spirit or phantasie and intellect united

together, or by the instruction of the agent intellect above our souls or by the true revelation of some
divine power in a quiet and purified mind; for by this our soul receiveth true oracles and abundantly
yieldeth prophecies to us; for in dreams we deem both to ask questions and learn to read and find them
out.'
Henry Cornelius Agrippa
