divination by means of dreams.

CONT

(...) oneiromancy, dream interpretation, employs explicitly psychic phenomena; and here the diviner may be said to assist the intuition of meaning by his client as often as he can be said to introject.

DEF

Divination par les songes.

CONT

La divination par les songes ou oniromancie paraît avoir existé de toute antiquité. (...) Les Grecs distinguaient trois classes de songes: ceux qui avaient lieu lorsque les dieux ou les esprits se manifestaient aux hommes, sous une forme quelconque, pendant le sommeil de ceux-ci; ceux ou les événements futurs se présentaient sous leur propre forme; enfin, les songes proprement dits, au milieu desquels l'avenir se présentait sous quelque allusion frappante.
