Many stories have been bandied about concerning hot tips on horse races provided through dreams. The longest series of dreams ever mailed to Dr. Calvin Hall and myself involved several thousand dreams from a man in Cleveland. This man had received little formal education, but he struggled with his poorly developed writing skills to record his dreams every morning, so he could refer to them when looking over the daily racing sheets. If he could find any sort of correspondence between a name, place, or thing that had appeared in his dreams with the name of a horse that was running that day, he would place a wager upon that horse. Hundreds of notations reporting the sums of money he won on various betting days appeared in his dream diary. He continued to back his dream- inspired tips for well over a decade. Another fascinating group of horse-racing dreams is described in Thelma Moss’s recent book, The Probability of the Impossible (8).

The stock market is also a popular form of gambling. The former Executive Director of Atlantic University, Dr. Fred Davidson, made the following dream available to me. Fred had made a request in The A.R.E. Journal for dream material dealing with decision making in business activities. This account was sent by Mr. Kai DeFontanay of Corralitos, California:

"Last year I programmed my dreaming to give me some help on stock investments. I awoke from sleep, knowing I had dreamt about a stock but couldn’t remember the name other than ROB—something. I consulted the paper and immediately recognized it as "Robintech." I called my broker for information on it As he had nothing particularly good to say about it, I interrupted him and just said, "Buy"—completely on faith. I transferred the money out of another stock. I bought Robintech at $12. It is now $19.50. The stock that I sold for this transaction was then selling at $12. It is now at $6."

Dr. Davidson also supplied me with a large number of dreams from William Lord, a member of the Board of Directors of Atlantic University and of A.R.E. Bill has been fairly active in buying and selling stocks over the past 15 years or so. Here are a few of the outcomes from Bill’s playing the stock market on the basis of dream insights:

"In 1963, I dreamed, I am telling a woman that Freeport Sulphur is going to go up for a period of five years. During the 1963-1968 it went from$21 to $80 per share. I bought all I thought I could afford at an average of about $27 a share. Then I started selling at around  $50
