Charles E. Burchfield's Dreams, Journals, May 9, 1940

Three Dreams –

1^st of Sibelius making a visit over here.

2^nd – at Yates – Their son wanted to play some records. Mrs. Yates objected to them, and I scolded her for not allowing him. We (all of my family) had intended staying overnight but I now said “Something tells me we are leaving at once.” and told the children to start leaving. The Yates son turned out to be Howard Austin.

3^rd – of Sibelius. He lay ill, and dying. I opened the door to his room – he had been sleeping and my action roused him. It seems as if I had been repeating this offence for several days at about the noon hour. I dreaded having him find out that it was I who had been disturbing him.
