Is It Really Always Innocence When You Dream?

We would like to remind our readers that auspicious indicated what was up with the birds, Gooney, and otherwise. Auspicia, in Latin, meant bird-watching. Also there was a group of divinators, Etruscan interpreters of the livers of slaughtered, sacrificed bulls, goats, et al, etc., ad infinitum, known as haruspices. This has been jauntily translated by one spark as gut-gazers. Also, we are told two incredible things in R. M. Ogilvie’s The Romans and Their Gods in the Age of Augustus. For religious reasons, the Divine Emperor took a position in the public streets as a beggar, and pleaded for alms, one day a year. Finally Suetonius tells us that the same said beggar/emperor only had dreams in the Spring. We wonder if they, the dreams, were wet? And, wet about what.
