On Saturday night I dreamt I was a hearing girl and I was an airwoman. I flew over Germany and stole some German secret plans. I flew back to England again and gave the plans to Mr. Lloyd George. The people cheered me because the plans were about the Peace Terms, and in the next week the war came to an end and peace was signed. I thought my story was printed in a newspaper, which said I brought this war to an end. I was cheered by the people again and woke when I saw a German fire a shot at me.
Source & context
The first-person hearing-girl phrase is in the historical source and is retained; do not turn it into an assertion about what deaf people can/cannot dream. War-ending claim belongs only to dream. Published historical reported dream: the compiler acknowledges secondary elaboration and fusion with waking material; this is not an independently authenticated untouched manuscript.
Anonymous child writer’s reported dream (Anonymous girl, 16), in C. W. Kimmins (compiler), Children’s Dreams (London/New York: Longmans, Green and Co., 1920), Printed pp. 109–110. Original English University of Toronto/Robarts copy via Internet Archive. Editorial title and navigation metadata added by Synastry; original source wording, uncertainty and paragraph/section divisions retained after scan-confirmed OCR repairs. Historical published report, not a modern Synastry community submission.
