This anthology issue explores the mysterious meanings hidden in dreams. One story follows a woman troubled by recurring dreams of marrying a faceless man, while another centers on an accountant named John whose disturbing dreams about embezzled company funds and a paper knife lead to real-world consequences when he awakens to find himself holding an actual knife. A third narrative depicts a soldier named Phil recounting his vivid nightmare of being assigned to the Korean War and experiencing horrific combat, including a terrifying walk through an icy forest that ended at a pit's rim, which he realizes was influenced by tales a fortune teller once told him.

Richard Temple, the dream detective, encounters a nervous young woman named Madelon Roberts by chance—and she's been plagued every night since landing a new job by a recurring nightmare where she walks through an abandoned cemetery to her own grave, descends into an office sealed beneath the earth, and must balance ledgers while water rises around her. Temple guides her through the symbolic meaning of her dream, helping her confront the real source of her terror before she faces her first day of work.

A man plagued by vivid dreams of life in a Dutch colonial town begins to notice unsettling parallels between his sleeping visions and his waking reality—details that refuse to stay buried in the realm of imagination. As the coincidences multiply and a third dream arrives with darker implications, he must confront whether his dreams are merely random fancy or something far more sinister taking shape in the daylight world. The closer he looks for rational explanation, the more the line between past life and present reality threatens to collapse.

A Dream Saved His Life!
7 pp · Horror-Suspense

The night before his Army induction, young Phillip Hanna is gripped by a vivid nightmare: a walk through an icy, desolate forest that ends in terror at the rim of a bottomless pit. Years later, after months of combat in Korea, Phil finds himself on patrol through a frozen, bleak landscape that unnervingly mirrors the frozen wasteland of his recurring dream—and as the familiar terrain closes in around him, he realizes the nightmare may have been trying to warn him all along. Masterfully drawn from OCR text, this 1952 chiller weaves premonition and wartime dread into an unforgettable account of how a young soldier's subconscious mind may have predicted the very danger he now faces.
