PALMISTRY AND SIMIAN LINES(Source:Ajit Vadakayil)


Most people have two major transverse lines in the upper half of the palm. In Palmistry and Hand Analysis these are called the Heart Line and the Head Line.

Hand with simian line. When the Heart Line and Head Line are fused together, only one major line is present, and it extends all the way across the hand from edge to edge. This is called a "Simian Line", or "Simian Crease". Medical references call it the "proximal transverse palmar crease" or "single palmar crease".
The purest form of simian line is where only one line cuts across the hand and there is no indication of it containing more than one line. However, there are many variations between the two examples above. Some of these possible variations are shown below along with the rules for hand analysis.
Simian line with heart energy according to palm reading and palmistryThis is not a pure simian line but rather a strong heart line that has captured the head line. This person will operate with nearly all heart and emotional energy and will have very little logic and mental power for making decisions and taking actions. Emotions will strongly rule every activity.
Simian line with head energy according to palm reading and palmistryThis is not a pure simian line but rather a strong head line (blue) that has captured the heart line (red). This person will operate with nearly all head energy and will have very little emotional power for making decisions and taking actions. Logic, with little emotion, will strongly rule every activity.
Simian line with some heart and head line according to palm reading and palmistryThis hand shows a piece of a heart line (1) and piece of a head line (2). Most likely only one of these pieces would be present on a hand with a simian line. Whichever piece is present would indicate that there is some of that energy strongly affecting all activities. For example, if only the simian line plus a piece of heart line (1) was present then this person's simian line would have considerable influence from heart and emotional tendencies. A piece of head line (2) would lend considerable logic and mental influence.
Simian line either heart or head line according to palm reading and palmistryThis hand does not mean there are two simian lines possible. It just indicates that a high simian line (A) or a low simian line (B) is possible. It is quite difficult to discern which type one has if the line is somewhere in between the high and low positions. In any case, the higher the simian line is on the palm, the more emotional energy is affecting all activities. The lower the simian line is on the palm, the more logic and mental powers affect all activities.
The name "simian" was adopted many years ago and comes from the fact that some monkeys have only one crease in their palm.
Approximately 4% of Caucasians have this line on at least one hand. Approximately 13% of all Asians have it on at least one hand. It is even rarer to have this line on both hands.

The Simian Line and Medical Interest

A computer search of the medical literature reveals numerous attempts to link dermatoglyphics (skin markings) to medical disorders. At least fourteen chromosomal abnormalities are listed in the medical literature that have a high correlation (up to 84%) with the occurrence of a Simian Line. Down Syndrome is one of these diseases due to a chromosome abnormality. Does that mean that every person with a Simian Line is likely to have something medically wrong with them? No! There are many people with Simian Lines that do not have more than the average medical problems.
[NOTE: An informal and unscientific survey on this web site for people with one or more simian lines indicates that the majority of the surveyors do not have more than the normal physical problems. You can see the results for all the questions in graphic form here.]
Palm readers and Hand Analysts have observed over the years some common traits in people with Simian Lines on one or both hands. [This pertains to those people who have no apparent medical problems.] People with Simian Lines generally live their life differently than most other people who do not have Simian Lines. Not necessarily living better nor worse. Just living more intensely with an undercurrent of uneasiness. It is interesting that a number of well known people with a Simian Line have made a positive contribution to history. They include British Prime Minister Tony Blair (both hands), former Russian President Nikita Kruchev, writers John Steinbeck and Henry Miller, to name some well documented cases.

My Personal Observations on the Simian Line

I have been doing Past Life Regressions since 1975 and when I did a hypnotic Past Life Regression with two individuals who had simian lines, we discovered an interesting connection to past lives concerning their simian lines. I have documented some of my more interesting findings in the second edition of my ebook, "Secrets of Hand Analysis".
Here are 80 pictures of various type simian lines, if you are interested in comparing your hands.
Many thanks to the volunteers who graciously sent their hand images. No analysis is made or intended. The pictures are there just to show the different types of simian lines in case you are wondering if you have a real simian line.


Palmistry as 7000 year old Vedic Indian origins. A Irish con man by the name of  William John Warner ( Cheiro ) came to India and stayed in the outhouse of my colleague's grandfather , a Saraswat Brahmin for two years and learnt the art. He then went back and made a fortune in the West.  

His poor understanding of the science which he projected in his books has literally sunk this Vedic science involving the morphogenetic consciousness field.
The father of medicine Charaka , used palmistry for diagnosis. The palm lines are rivers of energy, moving through various glands and areas of consciousness. Each main line has an elementary quality, which reflects a particular form of energetic current within a person.
There are very few competent palmists nowdays--most of them are pretenders and charlatans. Morphogenetic fields help to differentiate cells and form biological systems. Every line of the palm is etched by this field while the baby is in the mother's womb based on past karma and karmic inheritance .
Morphogenetic fields are not material, but are more like biological blueprints giving birth to various forms. They carry encoded organizational information. A visible attribute of consciousness is an energetic field that governs the shaping of organisms. Morphogenesis is a scientific term to explain this very shaping of tissues, organs, and entire organisms. 

All life forms are connected by "morphic fields" or strong intertwined energetic connections. Forces of attraction cause the particles to come together to form nuclei with electrons orbiting around them giving the illusion of matter. These atoms are attracted together to form molecules. 


Molecules are brought together by organizing forces inherent in the particular morphogenetic field of that being or material, causing the creation of DNA, cells, tissue, organs, systems, organisms, societies and on a larger scale, planets, solar systems, galaxies and universes. All of this from the one and only quantum field of consciousness .
This intelligent field decides why a electron should remain in a particular orbit.  Electrons can change position instantly without taking time. They suddenly appear in another orbit of higher or lower energy or distance from the nucleus. 

Stupid Newton pushed consciousness into the realm of religion and mysticism. Scientists who wanted to factor consciousness in were chucked out of the scientific community and the peer reviewed magazines controlled by free masons made them pariahs. 

With the advent of quantum science we now know what great injustice was done. The classical physics of Newton takes a material perspective in which the Universe is composed of discrete building blocks, solid and unchangeable. 


Quantum physics takes a spiritual perspective in which there are no separate parts, in which everything is fluid and always changing. In the quantum world there are no causes. Matter is NOT a inert substance. It is conscious and active. Experts in organic and inorganic chemistry know what I mean..
Monkeys have only one crease in their palm, hence the term Simian line. Very few people have such a line on both hands. 

If you have such a line only on one hand, you don't fall in the Simian line category. 

Approximately 4% of Caucasians and 13% of all Asians have it on at least one hand. If the Simian Line is found on the right hand only,  physical desires can get out of control.  60% of people who have simian lines on both hands have Down's syndrome.
We have a separate heart and head line on our palms. When they merge together and run as a single line , it is called a simian line. 

When a person has it on both the palms and is NOT a Down Syndrome victim-- he must understand that he has a special condition where his emotional mental and emotional energies work together.

Simian type is not necessarily a negative trait.  But usually such people tend to be a law unto themselves.They find it hard to distinguish right from wrong.
It is usually difficult for a person with a Simian line to balance their emotions with logic.
This person is driven by instinct and belief,  and may be capable of extreme reactions. Many serial killers and sociopaths have simian lines on both hands.They have great tenacity of purpose and love hard work
If the simian line is set low on the hand, is indicates strong emotional compulsions that overrides common sense . If it is set higher on the hand, the person is  more able to reason with himself  and can therefore behave with greater objectivity.
People with Simian Lines are filled with restless energy. There are no half measures with them and they give everything a full blooded shot with full gusto and drive..  It is a bit difficult  to manipulate him as his beliefs are strong and hence he will stick to his guns. 

They can be unpredictable. They find it hard to form deep relationships with others. They do not care for social niceties and  popularity medals. They are loyal and expect loyalty in return. These people are survivors in the original sense.
They are intense people and totally dedicated to their purpose. Their ability to focus on a  creative project is awesome. They are usually extremists with extreme tempers and always have an under current of uneasiness within them.  

When it comes to passion, feelings can get out of perspective because emotional reactions can swamp and overwhelm reasoning. Such people must marry docile and understanding women. People with this line can find some aspects of relating to others problematic. 

They will not easily adhere to the usual norms of society.   In extreme cases, they will be completely ruled by passions and instincts and the law of the jungle will apply, hence the name given to the line. They tend to think in absolutes and to be very focused on what interests them to the exclusion of other important factors. 


Simian line people find it difficult to lead a  balanced life.  They focus entirely on either their work or their relationship, or on something else in a lop sided manner. They hold on to old resentments and then explode in a tantrum or floods of tears. 

Such people can be very obstinate. The  single-mindedness such people possess can diverted to  sporting activities, and in a creative field that requires little input from others. They tend to be emotionally and psychologically closed people, socially awkward, with one-track minds . 

Religious fanatics and criminals also have disproportionately high numbers of simian lines, as per statistics.  Their intense focus can blind them to the feelings of others.
   
British PM had simian lines on both his palms,no wonder Britain spend 1800 English pounds of tax payer money for his cosmetics from 1999 to 2005.  Even vain women do NOT spend so much.

They often become activists and champions of lost causes. They will carry out their agenda heedless of the resistance met . When they make a change, they do it immediately and the change is usually huge, callous to human suffering. .

They have only right or wrong and nothing in between. Black and white thinking with no space for grey is dangerous for a political leader. 

People with this line fight twice as hard. If these tunnel visioned perfectionists are brain washed and manipulated to positions of power by rich vested moneybag Big Brother-- only God can save this planet!

Psychic Palm Reading?

This hand shows most of the major palmistry indicators for psychic abilities. Probably no person has ALL of these marks on their hands! Psychic Hand Palmistry Indicators.However, each indicator shows a different type of psychic talent.

  • Psychic Mercury tip lines.2: Vertical Lines on Mercury Finger Tip: These lines indicate that psychic information flows in and out freely. Horizontal lines here would indicate the information was blocked. These vertical lines on Mercury finger tip indicate excellent psychic communication and sensitivity with spiritual realms. The deeper, longer, and clearer the vertical lines, the better the flow of psychic information. Anyone with these lines need just quiet the mind and listen for the subtle information from the psychic realm, and they will be very accurate.
  • Psychic Mercury mound lines.3: Vertical lines on the Mercury Mound here are called a "Medical Stigmata" in traditional palmistry. Some palm readers will claim it is the "mark of a healer". These vertical lines on the Mercury Mound at the base of the Mercury finger represent excess energy trying to get out through the Mercury finger. This is a powerful mark that should be understood and used to help guide one through life. Be sure to study this more: Background Discover More . . .
  • Ring of Solomon line.4: This line is called the "Ring of Solomon". It reveals a psychic skill for seeing the true reality behind the false appearances of people, just as King Solomon could do.

These lines indicate a large flow of compassionate energy constantly flowing from the heart out to those nearby. Family and friends of this person will feel especially loved and enjoy every activity with him or her.

DREAMS

The scientific discipline of the study of Dreams and their meanings is often called Oneirology. When analysts try to predict the future through their interpretation of dreams then this is termed Oneiromancy. When people have dreams and remember those dreams it can sometimes be very disturbing for them while at other times it may be a happy or positive experience. The biggest question people often ask when they remember their dreams is what the dreams actually meant or are they are a sign for the future. Many dreams are often seen as a sign for the future.

Some have felt that when we dream during our sleep it is a response to neural processes. Most animals will dream, but some will never dream. But all humans dream. During a persons average life span they will have a total of around six years of dreams. During the ancient times it was thought by people that their dreams were the messages of Gods. During times of war, many Leaders would take their dream-oracles into battle from where they could receive some guidance.

There is a lot of talk about how important time is during a dream. Some people have felt that the dream time may be the same as real time, though other people feel this is not correct. It is thought that on average people will spend on average two hours in dreams each night. But at this stage we have still not worked out where in the brain a dream starts from. Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud feel that dreams are an interaction between the unconscious and the conscious.

Some people have another theory that we are always in a state of dreaming in one form or another. What happens is that when people are awake and remember a dream they think that now they are awake the dream has finished. But the theory is that in effect the dream has not stopped but is continuing but just in a different way. So in effect we are always in a state of dreaming. When we are having dreams, it displays the feelings, thoughts and the images that are part of being asleep, especially when they are associated with Rapid eye movement sleep.

Stages of sleep in Dream Interpretation:
When the body feels that it is in need of sleep, neurons near the eyes start sending signals that travel right throughout the body. A hormone is secreted from the glands that will help the body induce sleep and neurons send signals to the spinal cord which has the effect of relaxing the body.

Dreams and memory in Dream Interpretation:
Some people feel that your dreams are ever-present excitations of long-term memory. It is felt that often when we have dreams that seem many times to be strange in nature which may be the result of long term memory.

Functions of dreams in Dream Interpretation:
During the night there may be many external stimuli bombarding the senses, but the mind interprets the stimulus and makes it a part of a dream in order to ensure continued sleep. The mind will, however, awaken an individual if they are in danger or if trained to respond to certain sounds, such as a baby crying. Dreams may also allow the repressed parts of the mind to be satisfied through fantasy while keeping the conscious mind from thoughts that would suddenly cause one to awaken from shock. It was Freud who had the theory that a persons bad dreams may be a way to teach the brain how to deal with difficult emotions. Dreams also let the mind express things that would normally be suppressed in the waking world, thus keeping itself in harmony. Dreams may also offer a view at how future events might proceed; this is similar to running future events through the mind, for instance: a work presentation, a job interview, or a first date. It was Jung who felt dreams may in some way compensate for attitudes that people held during waking consciousness. Ferenczi wrote that a dream is a form of communication when the person is not speaking what they think or feel. There have also been analogies made with the cleaning-up operations of computers when they are off-line. Dreams may remove parasitic nodes and other "junk" from the mind during sleep. Dreams may also create new ideas through the generation of random thought mutations. Some of these may be rejected by the mind as useless, while others may be seen as valuable and retained. Blechner calls this the theory of "Oneiric Darwinism." Dreams may also regulate mood.

Dream content in Dream Interpretation:
It was during the period of the 1940s up to 1985 that Calvin S. Hall complied a report of over 50,000 dreams during research at the Western Reserve University. This research was eventually published. In this publication they outlined a coding system to study dream reports. What was discovered was that basically people had the same dreams.

Emotions in Dream Interpretation:
The most common emotion experienced in dreams is anxiety. Negative emotions are more common than positive feelings. The U.S. ranks the highest amongst industrialized nations for aggression in dreams with 50 percent of U.S. males reporting aggression in dreams, compared to 32 percent for Dutch men.

Gender differences in Dream Interpretation:
It is believed that in men's dreams an average of 70 percent of the characters are other men, while a female's dreams contain an equal number of men and women. Men generally had more aggressive feelings in their dreams than women, and children's dreams did not have very much aggression until they reached teen age. These findings parallel much of the current research on gender and gender role comparisons in aggressive behavior. Rather than showing a complementary or compensatory aggressive style, this study supports the view that there is a continuity between our conscious and unconscious styles and personalities.

Recurring dreams in Dream Interpretation:
During a dream the person will only dream the content mostly only one time, but people experience over and over again during during times they are asleep. Up to 70% of females and 65% of males report recurrent dreams.

Common themes in Dream Interpretation:
Content-analysis studies have identified common reported themes in dreams. These include: situations relating to school, being chased, running slowly/in place, sexual experiences, falling, arriving too late, a person now alive being dead, teeth falling out, flying, embarrassing moments, failing an examination, or a car accident. Twelve percent of people dream only in black and white.

Disease-associated differences in Dream Interpretation:
There is evidence that certain diseases (normally only neurological diseases) can impact dreams. For instance, people with synesthesia have never reported black-and-white dreaming, and often have a difficult time imagining the idea of dreaming in black and white only.

Dream interpretation Theory:
Both Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung identified dreams as an interaction between the unconscious and the conscious. They also assert together that the unconscious is the dominant force of the dream, and in dreams it conveys its own mental activity to the perceptive faculty. While Freud felt that there was an active censorship against the unconscious even during sleep, Jung argued that the dream's bizarre quality is an efficient language, comparable to poetry and uniquely capable of revealing the underlying meaning. Fritz Perls presented his theory of dreams as part of the holistic nature of Gestalt therapy. Dreams are seen as projections of parts of the self that have been ignored, rejected, or suppressed. Jung argued that one could consider every person in the dream to represent an aspect of the dreamer, which he called the subjective approach to dreams. Perls expanded this point of view to say that even inanimate objects in the dream may represent aspects of the dreamer. The dreamer may therefore be asked to imagine being an object in the dream and to describe it, in order to bring into awareness the characteristics of the object that correspond with the dreamer's personality.

Lucid dreaming in Dream Interpretation:
Lucid dreaming is the conscious perception of one's state while dreaming. In this state a person usually has control over characters and the environment of the dream as well as the dreamer's own actions within the dream. The occurrence of lucid dreaming has been scientifically verified.

Dreams of absent-minded transgression in Dream Interpretation:
Dreams of absent-minded transgression (DAMT) are dreams wherein the dreamer absentmindedly performs an action that he or she has been trying to stop (one classic example is of a quitting smoker having dreams of lighting a cigarette). Subjects who have had DAMT have reported waking with intense feelings of guilt. One study found a positive association between successfully stopping the behavior.

Dream argument in Dream Interpretation:
Dreams can link to actual sensations, such as the incorporation of environmental sounds into dreams, or dreaming of urination while wetting the bed. Some philosophers have extended this idea to a skeptical hypothesis about ontology. The first recorded mention of the idea was by Zhuangzi, and was also discussed in Hinduism; Buddhism makes extensive use of the argument in its writings. It was formally introduced to western philosophy by Descartes in the 17th century in his Meditations on First Philosophy.

Recalling dreams in Dream Interpretation:
The recall of dreams is extremely unreliable, though it is a skill that can be trained. Dreams that are difficult to recall may be characterized by relatively little affect, and factors such as salience, arousal, and interference play a role in dream recall. A dream journal can be used to assist dream recall, for psychotherapy or entertainment purposes.

Déjà vu in Dream Interpretation:
The theory of déjà vu dealing with dreams indicates that the feeling of having previously seen or experienced something could be attributed to having dreamt about a similar situation or place, and forgetting about it until one seems to be mysteriously reminded of the situation or place while awake.

Dream incorporation in Dream Interpretation:
In one use of the term, "dream incorporation" is a phenomenon whereby an external stimulus, usually an auditory one, becomes a part of a dream, eventually then awakening the dreamer. There is a famous painting by Salvador Dalí that depicts this concept, titled "Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening" (1944). The term "dream incorporation" is also used in research examining the degree to which preceding daytime events become elements of dreams. Recent studies suggest that events in the day immediately preceding, and those about a week before, have the most influence

A daydream is a visionary fantasy experienced while awake, especially one of happy, pleasant thoughts, hopes, or ambitions. There are so many different types of daydreaming that there is still no consensus definition amongst psychologists. While daydreams may include fantasies about future scenarios or plans, reminiscences about past experiences, or vivid dream-like images, they are often connected with some type of emotion. Daydreaming may take the form of a train of thought, leading the daydreamer away from being aware of his or her immediate surroundings, and concentrating more and more on these new directions of thought. To an observer, they may appear to be affecting a blank stare into the distance, and only a sudden stimulus will startle the daydreamer out of their reverie. While daydreaming has long been derided as a lazy, non-productive pastime, daydreaming can be constructive in some contexts. There are numerous examples of people in creative or artistic careers, such as composers, novelists, and filmmakers, developing new ideas through daydreaming. Similarly, research scientists, mathematicians, and physicists have developed new ideas by daydreaming about their subject areas. Daydreaming was long held in disrepute in society and was associated with laziness. In the late 1800s, Toni Nelson argued that some daydreams with grandiose fantasies are self-gratifying attempts at "wish fulfillment". In the 1950s, some educational psychologists warned parents not to let their children daydream, for fear that the children may be sucked into "neurosis and even psychosis."

A lucid dream is a dream in which the person is aware that he or she is dreaming while the dream is in progress. During lucid dreams, it is possible to exert conscious control over the dream characters and environment, as well as to perform otherwise physically impossible feats. Lucid dreams are known to be extremely real and vivid. A lucid dream can begin in one of two ways. A dream-initiated lucid dream (DILD) starts as a normal dream, and the dreamer eventually concludes that he or she is dreaming, while a wake-initiated lucid dream (WILD) occurs when the dreamer goes from a normal waking state directly into a dream state with no apparent lapse in consciousness. Lucid dreaming has been researched scientifically, and its existence is well established. Scientists such as Allan Hobson, with his neurophysiological approach to dream research, have helped to push the understanding of lucid dreaming into a less speculative realm. Many people report having experienced a lucid dream during their lives, often in childhood. Children seem to have lucid dreams more easily than adults. Although lucid dreaming is a conditioned skill, achieving lucid dreams on a regular basis can be difficult and is uncommon, even with training. Over time, several techniques have been developed to achieve a lucid dreaming state intentionally.

Dream recall in Dream Interpretation:
The term refers to the ability of some people to remember their dreams. People who have a high level of dream recall often are on a path for lucid dreaming. The more a person may recall their dreams the higher level of awareness they have. The best way to remember your dreams is to write them down straight away. People forget most dreams fast, so make sure to write them down. Write the dream down as if it is happening now. When you wake from a dream it is suggested to lie in bed first and recall the dream before you write it down.

Wake-back-to-bed (WBTB) The wake-back-to-bed technique is often the easiest way to encourage a lucid dream. The method involves going to sleep tired and waking up five hours later. Then, focusing all thoughts on lucid dreaming, staying awake for an hour and going back to sleep while practicing the MILD method. A 60% success rate has been shown in research using this technique. This is because the REM cycles get longer as the night goes on, and this technique takes advantage of the best REM cycle of the night. Because this REM cycle is longer and deeper, gaining lucidity during this time may result in a lengthier lucid dream.

Cycle adjustment technique (CAT) The cycle adjustment technique, developed by Daniel Love, is an effective way to induce lucid dreaming. It involves adjusting one's sleep cycle to encourage awareness during the latter part of the sleep. First, the person wakes up 90 minutes before normal wake time until their sleep cycle begins to adjust. After this, the normal wake times and early wake times alternate. On the days with the normal wake times, the body is ready to wake up, and this increases alertness, making lucidity more likely. Wake-initiation of lucid dreams (WILD) The wake-initiated lucid dream "occurs when the sleeper enters REM sleep with unbroken self-awareness directly from the waking state". There are many techniques aimed at entering a WILD. The key to these techniques is recognizing the hypnagogic stage, which is within the border of being awake and being asleep. If a person is successful in staying aware while this stage occurs, he or she will eventually enter the dream state while being fully aware that it is a dream. There are key times at which this state is best entered; while success at night after being awake for a long time is very difficult, it is relatively easy after being awake for 15 or so minutes and in the afternoon during a nap. Techniques for inducing WILDs abound. Dreamers may count, envision themselves climbing or descending stairs, chant to themselves, explore elaborate, passive sexual fantasies, control their breathing, counting their breaths to keep their thoughts from drifting, concentrate on relaxing their body from their toes to their head, allow images to flow through their "mind's eye" and envision themselves jumping into the image, to maintain concentration and keep their mind awake, while still being calm enough to let their body sleep. During the actual transition into the dream state, one is likely to experience sleep paralysis, including rapid vibrations, a sequence of loud sounds and a feeling of twirling into another state of body awareness, "to drift off into another dimension". Also there is frequently a sensation of falling rapidly or dropping through the bed as one enters the dream state. After the transition there may be the sensation of entering a dark black room from which one can induce any dream scenario of one's choosing, simply by concentrating on it. The key to success is not to panic, especially during the transition, which can be quite sudden.

Induction devices in Dream Interpretation:
A person may be able to unduce a lucid dream by using an outside device. What happens is that the person will wear a device when sleeping which detects the Rem phase and then it will release a stimuli so that it becomes part of the dream.

Reality testing in Dream Interpretation:
This is one method that a person may use to test if they are really dreaming or not. One such test includes lookinf at a clock or a watch. Does the change of time of seconds on the watch reflect real life time movement. Another is to try switching a light switch on and off as this almost never happens in a dream.

False awakenings in Dream Interpretation:
This occurs when the person has a dream where they are suddenly awakened. However the person is not awake but still asleep. They feel they are still in the same room they fell asleep in, but there are some very minor differences. In some cases the person may even attempt to leave the room. This type of dreaming is often associated with bed wetting as the person thinks they they have went to the bath room when they are in fact still in bed asleep.

Dream Lore
Babylonians
The Babylonians divided dreams into two categories. They believed good dreams were sent by the Gods. Bad dreams were sent by Demons. Their Goddess of dreams was Mamu.
Assyrians
The Assyrians believed in dreams as omens. For example, if a person flied in their dreams it indicated all would be lost.
Egyptians
The Egyptians believed that the Gods showed themselves in dreams. The Egyptians believed dreams were based on real things. The recording of dreams in Egypt may be traced back to 2000 B.C. were the Egyptians wrote these dreams on paprus. They believed there were three main types of dreams. Those that happened as a result of ritual. Dreams that contained warnings. Dreams were the Gods were demanding some type of action.
Greeks
When a person was sick a Priest would interpret the dream and then give advice on healing. They believed dreams were sent by the Gods. The Gods also sent prophecies to those who slept at shrines. The Greeks thought that the people in their dreams lived near the underworld.
Romans
The Romans had strong views on dreams. They believed dreams were messages from the Gods. Emperor Augustus ruled that anyone who had a dream about the state must proclaim it in the market place.
Hebrews
Hebrews believed their dreams were the voice of only one God. However bad dreams were the work of Demons. The Hebrews incubated dreams in order to receive divine revelation.
Hindus
The time when a prophetic dream occurred indicated when the event will take place.
Japanese
The Emperors palace contained a dream hall with an incubation bed. Japanese Emperors also incubated their dreams at a Shinto Temple at Usa on the southern island of Kyusha. North American Indians
Many Indian tribes believed that dreams revealed the hidden wishes of the soul.

Sigmund Freud On Dreams
Viennese Psychiatrist Sigmund Freud first developed the theory about the role of the unconscious on the individual. Freud believed the dream worked on two levels. A straightforward level showed events in dreams as remembered. However in the latent level objects and actions in the dreams symbolize sexual and aggressive feelings and ideas that are repressed. So in dreams it protects the sleeper from the effects of a realization of these wishes. The dream taps into the desire for wish fulfilment when the controlling ego is relaxed during sleep. Freud wrote "All dreams are in a sense dreams of convenience, they help to prolong sleep instead of waking up. Dreams are the guardians of sleep and not its disturbers.

Carl Jung On Dreams
Carl Jung believed a dreams content uses symbolic language. He proposed that a dream expresses collective racial unconscious memories and instincts shared by all people. These are basic ideas that are themselves symbols. These include the hero, monster, mother, father, mandala, sacrifice and the mask. Dreams also indicate the way to self actualization. Jungian therapy in fact deals extensively with dreams and fantasies.

Fritz Pearls On Dreams
Fritz Pearls is the founder of Gestalt therapy. Pearls believed that characters and objects in our dreams are in fact projections of ourselves. They are in fact parts of our personality that we do not accept or acknowledge as well as our view of others. Pearls proposed that since we are the creators of our dreams then everything in our dreams must be aspects of our inner selves.

Alfred Adler On Dreams
Alfred Adler promoted the theory that the desire for power is what drives each person. Adler believed dreams were a way of addressing our insecurities. As a child you start with a sense of inferiority. But adults tend to move forward towards goals of success and superiority. Adler`s theory was that dreams reflected these ambitions. Alfred believed that dreams were an important vehicle in mastering control over our waking lives.

Dream Temples
The ancient Greeks sought dream oracles within sacred dream temples. One of the renowned dream temples was the Temple of Amphiaraus at Oropos. People would go to the temple and "purify oneself" first by making an offering to the Gods. A ram was the sacrificed, its fleece removed and then used as a sleeping mat inside the temple. Another famous temple was the Temple of Pasiphae. The magistrates of the city used the temple to receive answers to difficult questions. Sleeping within religious temples continued down through history. Another famous dream shrine was located in Lough Derg in Donegal, Ireland. It was a cave known as St. Patricks Purgatory. People would entomb themselves in tiny cells for up to nine days waiting for a vision of what was waiting for them in hell.

Dreaming True
It is the ability to have control and consciousness in the dream state. It is possible for one to keep conscious control of one self up to the moment of falling asleep. Practise holding a definite scene in your mind and then at the last moment before you fall asleep, transfer yourself into the scene. Done right there will be no break in consciousness and you will step into the dream consciously. This is what is called Dreaming True. After this you will remember all that happened in the dream in detail.

Dream Distortion
The world of dreams has no boundary. Time is of no meaning in a dream. Events that are separated by years can be brought together in the same moment. You may be transferred into the past or the future. Space can be distorted in dreams. You can be on Earth or on Mars. Your office can be transported to your bedroom. Dreams are often accompanied by emotions which may be exaggerated. Dreams are not constrained by the bounds of the physical world in which we live.

Dream Clairvoyance
Generally clairvoyant dreams are of two kinds : Warning dreams or Anxiety dreams.
Warning Dreams
In warning dreams it often looks into the future and often predicts some sort of danger. Only in rare instances does the dreamer appear in these dreams. One of the most amazing cases of this is US President Abraham Lincoln who dreamt of the assassination of a President only a few days before his own assassination in 1865. It must be remembered that dreams of death usually mean the end of a situation. Other people have dreamed and documented in advance natural disasters such as earthquakes. It is important to remember that to qualify for this sort of ability the dream must be of an event that the dreamer could not have acquired through normal dreams.
Anxiety Dreams
Often the mind will unconsciously absorb information that is released in dreams. In some cases these dreams may indicate health problems. It seems the body is trying to provoke some action for treatment.

Creative Dreams
Throughout time many famous artists, poets, musicians, scientists and writers among many have acknowledged their dreams as a source of ideas and creations. The famous 18th century composer Giuseppe Tartini was only able to complete one of his masterpieces after remembering one trill from a dream. Renowned writer Charles Dickins gained the inspiration for many of his characters and plots from his dreams. Author Robert Louis Stevenson great novel The Strange Case of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde came from one of his inspirational dreams. Inventor Thomas Edison came up with some of his best inventions from his dreams. The 19th century Chemist Kekule dreamed of a serpent eating its tale which inspired him to find the molecular arrangement of the benzene molecule.

Repetitive Dreams
Some recurring dreams continue for months or even years. There may be many themes to these sorts of dreams from anxiety, escaping or a job that never get finished. These type of dreams are difficult to analyze. The recurring dream tends to reveal you real nature. Recurring dreams are usually an attempt to recognize hidden problems. They may also hint at a solution. Often the setting goes all the way back to childhood or events that happened many years earlier. Psychoanalysts believe that recurring dreams of being unable to complete a task may be as a result of rigid toilet training. However in most recurring dreams the original cause had not been dealt with but had been grafted onto another. If the dreams are intensely frightening it may be due to anxieties from childhood.

Compensatory Dreams
Psychoanalyst Carl Jung believed that dreams had a compensating function that provided a psychic balance for the personality. For example very timid people may dream of executing great violence. Thus by doing so in a way giving them balance. Some compensatory dreams are contrary. Often people overwhelmed by grief may have dreams that are funny in nature. On the other hand during times of great triumph people may have dreams of great sadness. This seems to give them balance. Compensatory dreams often have content that will surprise the dreamer. These sort of dreams help counterbalance failings and needs. 
 
 Memory And Dreams
The images you see as you nod off provide tantalizing clues about the relationship between dreams and memory, according to a report in the journal Science. Researchers at Harvard Medical School said they were surprised to find that people with amnesia could dream about an event that happened to them even though they had no waking memory of it. The discovery suggests that different types of memories are processed in different parts of the brain, said Dr. Robert Stickgold, associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard and lead author of the study. Stickgold and his research team had 27 people, including five amnesiacs play the computer game Tetris for seven hours spread out over three days, and then report their dreams during the first hour of sleep on each of those nights. Like two-thirds of healthy participants, three of the five amnesiacs described dreams similar to the game even though they could neither recall playing it.

Neurology of Dream Interpretation:
As of writing there is still no common ground regarding the definition of dreams. Dreams are connected with Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Participant-remembered dreams during non-REM sleep are normally more mundane in comparison. At this point in time, it is still not known just exactly where in the brain that dreams may begin. It may be that more then one area of the brain is involved in dreams.

Discovery of REM:
It was Eugene Aserinsky who discovered REM sleep in 1953. He observed that the eyes fluttered during sleep beneath their closed eyelids. He went on to record brain waves during these periods. In 1953 Aserinsky and his advisor published the study in Science. J. Allan Hobson and Robert McCarly put forward a new theory in 1976 about dreams. It was this theory that challenged previous theories and views on dreams. Their research put forward that it may be that signals interpreted as dreams may start within the brain stem during REM sleep.

PALMISTRY

Judging by the number of hands painted in prehistoric caves it would seem that palmistry held a interest for humans since the stone age. Archaeological discoveries have discovered hands made of stone, wood and ivory by ancient civilizations. The emperor of china used his thumbprint when sealing documents in 3000 bc. Information on the laws and practise of hand reading have been found in vedic scripts, the bible and early semitic writings. Aristotle (384-322 bc) discovered a treatise on palmistry on an alter to the god hermes. The greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen (ad 130-200) were both knowledgeable about the use of palmistry as a clinical aid. Julius Caesar (102-44bc) judged his men by palmistry. Notable people such as Paracelsus (1493-1541) and Fludd (1574-1637) brought respectability to palmistry through their writings. Later Dr Carl Carus, physician to the king of saxony in the 19th century matched palms to personality. Advances in genetics, psychology and forensics have propelled palmistry into the modern age. In 1901 Scotland yard adopted the technique of fingerprinting in criminal investigation and identification.

Medical researchers studying skin patterns (dermatoglyphics), have discovered a correspondence between genetic abnormalities and unusual markings in the hand. Research has confirmed a link between specific fingerprint patterns and heart disease. These days palmistry is well accepted throughout the world. Professional palmists can be found reading palms in every country in the world. Pick up almost any copy of a women's magazine and there is some information on palmistry. There are thousands of books written on the subject and there are palmistry clubs the world across.

Colour of the Skin in Palmistry
The health of a person is often indicated by the colour of their hands. Dead white hands often indicate a lack of circulation. Pink hands are usually a sign of good health in palmistry. Red hands may indicate high blood pressure. Bluish hands indicate a sluggish condition of the circulation of the blood supply. The normal colour of the palm should be rosy and pinkish.

One of the common questions people ask me about palmistry is what is the difference between reading the right hand to the left hand. Palmists will mostly examine your most active had which is usually the one you write with. Its this hand that shows your current and future trends. The passive hand in palmistry tends to show your childhood.

Another interesting question i often hear in palmistry is why do some people have many lines but others only a few. Well, first you will notice that mostly men will tend to have fewer lines then a woman. The majority of hands will have the four major lines, the fate, life, heart and head line. Often young people come to see me seeking answers from palmistry about the right career choice. It most be noted that if a person is truly dedicated to succeed in a career choice they will even if their palms may disagree. Palmistry does not take away free will. It is usually found that people who like to work outdoors have spatula fingertips. People with these spatula fingertips like to be constantly on the move. Over the years of studying palmistry I have also come to notice that these same people often are good inventors as well. It should also be noted that if they have an earth shaped hand they will like the countryside and often make good farmers or at least gardeners. These people like stability and become stressed in times of change. A full set of square fingertips in palmistry shows us the orderly methodical type of person. Found often in accountants. Everything must be in its proper place with the highest degree of accuracy. The fingers tend to sit close together and the tips are smooth. Do you have a loop of seriousness on your palm. This loop sits between your ring finger and the middle finger. On women it usually indicates they are nurses or teachers. On men it can show business skills and success in life. A long middle finger will support this further. These people believe in getting ahead and im often pleased to find this loop on peoples hands in my study of palmistry. But what about the index finger in palmistry. Well if a person has a strong index finger that thrusts out on its own it shows a person who likes to lead and make decisions. These people go well as managers. They are good at controlling large amounts of staff. But if the person has a short index finger it will show the palmist that the person likes to work alone and often become self employed as a writer or an artist. Palmistry shows us much about the work directions people will take in life. People with arch fingerprints usually have jobs that re detailed special skills. But whorl fingerprints show us some artistic skills in palmistry. Small handed people do things on a big level, people with big hands do things involving fine detail. But remember it is relevant to your overall body size. People with air hands are good communicators, are popular and often work in the area of media.

But in the study of palmistry what happens when we see people with a missing fate line. These people have a somewhat unique nature about them. Often they will change jobs several times in their life. Their life is never settled and they shift around a lot. But how can palmistry help the employer find the right employee. Well, the simplest way is to look the the fingers. If they lie close together it shows a hard working stable employee. But if there are wide gaps between the fingers it may show a employee that will cause problems.

Finger Nails in Palmistry
Square : Easy going nature and an even temperament.
Broad : A strong character with an explosive temper.
Fan Shape : Nails adopt this shape when the person has been suffering from long term stress.
Almond : Gentle, kind people who are often daydreamers.
Narrow : These people are cold and selfish.
Vertical Ridges : May indicate rheumatic problems.
Horizon Ridges : Dietary deficiencies.
Dished : Chemical imbalance.
Wrap Around : May indicate respiratory problems.
Over Large Moons : May indicate an overactive thyroid problem.
Red Bails : Indicate people who are impatient.
Pale Nails : May indicate an iron deficiency.

Hair on the Hands in Palmistry
On most hands you will find little or no hair. Hair is most common on the back of men's hands. Usually the more hair, the more the physical strength. Colour of the hair is important. A profusely hairy hand is often found on men with a high sex drive. They also tend to over eat, and often in times of crisis will revert to their animal instincts. When the hair on the back of the hand is sparse, fine and thin, it indicates people with lack of vigor. They often tend to suffer from nervous problems. Although on the good side, people with less hair are more diplomatic.

Markings On The Line Of Success in Palmistry
Islands on the Line of Success indicate serious problems such as a major loss of money. Dots on the Line of Success indicate loss of name. Cutting bars on the Line of Success cause setbacks in your career.

Heart Line
It can be said the Heart Line is not just a way telling what will happen but also a way of finding out why things happen. But do not use the heart line to time certain events as is not reliable. Imagine two heart lines extending from the edge of the hand below the little finger to between the first and second fingers. The first line is a deep curve while the second heart line is more straight. The curved line is active in romantic matters while the straight line is passive. The curved heart line is aggressive in love, the straight is receptive. The curved heart line is demonstrative while the straight line thinks about it. Interestingly the curved line is much more common on male hands while the straight line is more common on female hands. A heart line that becomes a steep curve below the index and middle finger indicates someone who has a strong sexual desire. If the heart line ends up under the index finger it indicates someone who is choosy about their partner........

Head Line
Although the head line shows how a person thinks it does not show how intelligent you are. An average head line ends somewhere under the ring finger. A short head line indicates a person whose thinking is simple and straight to the point. A long head line indicates a person who thinks things through very carefully. A straight head line indicates clear concentrated thinking. A curved head line belongs to a person who likes to play with new ideas. Sloping head lines belong to creative people. Horizontal head lines belong to people who look at the practical side of the matter. Chained head lines belong to highly strung people. A fork in the headline shows the ability to see more than one point of view. A floating head line is indicative of someone with a carefree attitude. A head line that starts under the index finger indicates a brilliant mind.

Life Line
The life line does not indicate how old you will live. What the line reveals is the quality of your life. It is an index of how much vitality, strength and energy you have. A life line running close to the thumb indicates a person of low vitality, sometimes found in the hands of people who suffer chronic fatigue syndrome. A life line that runs a wide curve shows a person with lots of vitality, get up and go. If the head line is stronger than the life line it shows a person who is more mentally than physically active. A chained life line indicates a delicate health. Little lines rising indicate an active personality. Outward swinging lines indicate a love of travel. Most of the small lines on the life line refer to particular events at certain times of your life. A branch leading to the Jupiter mount is a sign of academic achievement. A branch that leads to the Saturn mount indicates a successful property transaction. A branch towards the Appollo mount indicates monetary gain. A branch towards the Mercury mount indicates business success.



Fate Line
Strong fate lines belong to people who settle into a pattern of life early. Weak fate lines tend to belong to people who are unsettled and tend to change jobs a lot. Fate lines starting at the very bottom of the palm indicate people who settle into their life path early. When the fate line ends at the head line it indicates a person who seems to lose their way somewhere between 30 to 40 years old. You will find that most fate lines end at the heart line. However if the fate line runs all the way almost to the middle finger these people tend to be active right up into old age. A fate line that is tied to the heart line indicates a restricted childhood. Two fate lines are found on people who pursue two careers at the same time. The absence of a fate line indicates a person who lacks stability. It is also found on the hands of alcoholics and drug addicts.

Fire Hand
The fire hand has a long palm and short fingers. People with this shaped hand tend to be active, outgoing and often extroverts. They are excitable and emotional. They like to be in charge and control other people. There is always a large number of strong lines on the hands and usually whorl fingerprints. Fire handed people tend to have a lot of injuries and accidents.

Earth Hand
People with an earth hand have square palms with short fingers. There are usually few lines and often arches on the fingertips. People with this hand dont like change. They tend to be slow in nature and have a strong affinity to nature and the bush. They are emotionally stable and make the best workers. Interesting is the fact that you often find successful artists and photographers with earth hands. Most people with trade jobs such as a carpenter have earth hands. People with an Earth hand usually like outdoor jobs, and prefer job security.

Air Hand
In palmistry The air hand has a square palm with long fingers. The lines tend to be thin and the prints are usually loops. They are good at talking and writing. They are cheerful and happy people who often end up working in the communication industry. They need constant intellectual stimulation and have a low boredom threshold. They often like flying and travel. They may have written a book or often think about it.

Water Hand
Water hand people have a palm that is rectangular with long fingers. The hand tends to have a large amount of fine lines. The prints are also usually loops. Many people with this hand make good poets and musicians. They also go well in the fashion and beauty industry. They love to go sailing or boating. For people with this hand emotions are more important than reason.

Middle Finger
If the middle finger is long it indicates a person who treats life very seriously. They believe strongly in getting ahead. People with short middle fingers are careless and generally prefer not to work Most people tend to have a middle sized middle finger, meaning they are somewhere in between.

Ring Finger
If the ring finger is long the person will have a creative nature. They will go well in the field of art or fashion design. Sometimes this long ring finger is associated with people who have a gambling problem. Short ring fingers are extremely rare.

Little Finger
People with long little fingers have a high I.Q. They make good writers and speakers and have a strong sex drive. A short little finger reveals emotional immaturity. If the little finger is low set it indicates the person as a child had a problem with one of their parents. In some cases it indicates they were a victim of child abuse. If the little finger sticks out from the hand it may indicate the person is involved in a relationship they do not want to be in.

Simian Line
The simian line runs across the hand replacing the heart and head line. It is a sign of inner tension. It may be destructive or creative or even both. Its interesting to note that people who tend to be religious fanatics tend to have a simian line. Medicine has also found that simian lines may also be associated with certain types of heart defects. People with a simian line never really find peace. They spend their entire lives searching for an answer they never really find. To the person with the simian line there is only right or wrong and nothing in between. People with this line work twice as hard, study twice as hard and fight twice as hard.

Finger Tip Shapes
Square : People who have these fingertips tend to be careful and methodical thinkers. These people take a rational view of life.
However on the down side they tend to lack creativity.
Pointed : These people have a sensitive and fragile personality.
These finger tips are associated with artists, writers, poets and daydreamers.

Measuring age timeline in palmistry.

Apollo Line
The Apollo line is sometimes known as the line of sun. The line is not present in every hand but when it is it is a sign of happiness and achievement. The apollo line is also associated with a creative talent. The apollo line may commence from different points in the palm. Success tends to come to those whose apollo line starts high in the palm. If the apollo line is patchy it indicates that success will be patchy. In hands where there is no apollo line it tends to show that the person feels that happiness is out of reach. When there is multiple apollo lines it may indicate a person has many talents but is master of none. If the apollo line springs from the fate line it shows the point in life that the persons talents where recognized. Winning a substantial amount of money is indicated by a star on an apollo line. An island on the apollo line indicates a period where there is a loss of self esteem.

Medical Stigmata In Palmistry
There is a pattern often found on the hands of medical people which is called the medical stigmata. It is a small patch of vertical lines beneath the little finger. People with this marking are drawn to medical or social work. It is very common on the hands of nurses yet less common on the hands of doctors. This is interesting because it shows that some doctors choose their career path for money and prestige where as it tends to show that nurses are more emotionally involved in this choose of career. A hand with the medical stigmata and many fine lines will turn towards social work. People who work in the natural therapies area also have this mark. An unusual marking called the St Andrew cross is found on the hands of people who have saved the life of another.

Heart Problems
When we look at people hands they can show the experienced palmist a lot, including problems to do with the heart. Short nails are often found among people with a history of heart problems. Arch fingerprints are also associated with people who have heart problems and high blood pressure. The simian line is also associated with people who may have heart problems. If the heart line also has pronounced chaining it may indicate heart problems. A complete breaking up and fragmenting at the end of the heart line often occurs in people before a heart attack. When you see people with clubbed fingertips this is another sign.

Teachers Square In Palmistry
This little square which sits just under the index finger is a common sign found among people who work in the teaching profession. It doesn't always mean that the person is a school teacher. It is in fact found also in people who teach anything, whether it be paid or voluntary.

Mercury Line In Palmistry
If the mercury line begins on the mount of Luna or branches from the life line it is a sign of a good business head. People with this marking usually have their own business and are successful. People whose mercury line starts on the Venus mount and crosses through the life line usually work in the caring business. In the past some people believed having a mercury line indicated poor health, but this has since proven to be wrong. It is more an indicator of personal health. For example tiredness may make the line stronger while relaxation may make the line disappear altogether.

Minor Lines In Palmistry
Mars Line
The mars line runs inside the life line. The mars line indicates extra vitality and a sort of second protection.
Via Lascivia
The via lascivia is a horizontal line across the mount of luna. In the past it was thought to represent promiscuous behaviour. These days it is linked to people who have a sensitivity to allergies.

The Thumb In Palmistry
Will show a persons drive and how they apply that. The more ordinary the thumb the more ordinary the person. There are two sections, the top which shows willpower and the bottom which shows just how much you will push to get what you want. Large thumbs show a strong personality. Small thumbs show the person is more gentle. Long, broad thumbs belong to people who push hard and succeed. Long, narrow thumbs belong to people who want to succeed but don't have the driving force. Small, broad thumbs belong to people who lack determination. Thumbs that have an exceptionally wide top belong to aggressive people. If the other applies and the top is very narrow it indicates a sign of weakness. A thick top joint shows a person who is blunt. The tapered tip shows a subtle way of doing things. A thumb that holds itself close to the side of the hand shows a stingy person. A thumb that sticks out indicates a carefree personality.

Palm Mounts In Palmistry
To see if a mount is overlarge, well developed or lean you need to compare it to the other mounts in the hand.
Mount of Jupiter : Located at the base of the index finger it represents your self worth. If you are confident the mount will be well rounded. If it covers a wide area it shows you are generous. If it is high it suggests bossiness.
Mount og Saturn : Is found under the middle finger. A large mount indicates a gloomy attitude. Mars Positive : Is tucked into the crease of the thumb. Well developed it represents courage and a fighting spirit. If it is flat it indicates a cruel streak.
Mount of Venus : Found at the base of the thumb. Underdeveloped shows poor health.

Palmistry Loops
Loop of Humour : This is found between the Apollo and mercury fingers. Indicates a dry sense of humour.
Loop of Vocation : This is found between the Saturn and Apollo fingers. Reveals a strong dedication to work.
Rajah Loop : An extremely rare marking found between the Saturn and Jupiter fingers. It indicates that there was royal blood in your family history.

People with this loop have a strong connection to animals and nature.
Loop of Water : Flows down towards the Luna mount.
Indicates a strong affinity to water.

Good Luck in Your Hands
The star is the most important indication of luck to be found in your hands. But only when it is found on the upper mounts of Jupiter, Mercury or Apollo, at any point along the Apollo line or at the top of the Fate line. If a star is found on the Jupiter mount it indicates good fortune, marry into money and reach a position of importance in life. A star on the Apollo mount indicates the person has talents which will bring the owner fame and fortune. It is often found on the hand of successful actors. A star attached to the Apollo line indicates a major win of money.

Travel in Your Hands
People with an earth hand tend to return to the same travel destinations each time rather then explore new places. People with air hands love travel and tend to pursue careers in the travel industry. Fire hand people are adventures and like to explore new places. Water hand people like to travel to mystical and spiritual places. Islands or stars on the travel lines which can be found on the edge of the Luna mount are indications of problems. Islands tend to indicate the holiday was not as enjoyable as planned. Stars on the travel line indicate great danger.

Retirement Lines in Palmistry
People with earth hands find retirement very difficult and usually prefer to work until the end. Air hand people on retirement like to get themselves involved in activities such as study and groups. On retirement people with fire hands tend to join clubs and community projects. People who have a water hand enjoy retirement and are happy to lay around reading, watching television and other such interests.

Joints and Knuckles In Palmistry
They tell a lot about a person. Smooth knuckles are found on hands of people are very meticulous about their appearance and there home. People with uneven knuckles tend to have a more balanced and calm approach to life. People with smooth fingers are very receptive to information and their environment. Information is processed intuitively. When just only the bottom joints are pronounced the individual conducts their life in an orderly way. People with both top and bottom pronounced joints are referred to as philosophical thinkers. They tend to analyze information and think before they act.

Finger Settings In Palmistry
Personality traits such as strength of character may be found from the way the fingers are set into the palm. People with evenly set fingers are rare but when found indicate confidence. These people always go on to be successful in life. An uneven setting indicates a person with a lack of self confidence, especially if the little finger is very low set. A person with an arched setting will have a well balanced personality.

Texture Of Skin In Palmistry
The skin texture on the hand shows the persons natural refinements. If the texture is soft and delicate it will indicate a refined and sensitive person. Transparent skin is found on saintly type people. Thin skin is found on the hands of overly sensitive people. Often those with thick skin are stubborn and insensitive. Course skin is found on the hands of earthy people. People with a satin, smooth type skin are very artistic and often have a love of nature.
