The first edition of a volume on dreams by Mrs. Blair, which she divides into 'natural' and 'supernatural' categories, with an introduction from the Rev. Samuel Blair, likely a relation. The dreams recorded come from sources as varied as Socrates, Julius Caesar, Dr. Doddridge, Tarquinius Superbus, and several more named and anonymous sources. The Educational Magazine (Vol. II, July 1840) notes that the accounts have been compiled from 'well known books...the author's correspondents...the reports of respectable ministers' and 'the "Times" newspaper'.

The Gospel magazine approved of the work, stating that despite 'the occasional introduction of that hackneyed phrase "pious", this little volume fully meets our approbation'.
