between sleeping and waking, or dreams proper; the
second, those which one sees concerning another, or
a vision; the third, those whose interpretation is
shown to the dreamer, or a revelation; the fourth,
those which are related to the dreamer in a
nocturnal vision. There is also a kind of
combination of the above called apparition.
