Dreams

Dreams in A Sacrifice for Salem are a large part of the story. They have a mysterious effect on the characters and appear to foreshadow events to come in the story.

Instances of Dreams Occurring

 * Chapter 4: The Rumour
 * Ash dreams of Mary sat on Salem Common. She looked up at him and it is revealed that her throat has been slit open.
 * This foreshadows the beginning of the Battle for Salem, in which Mary is prepared to be sacrificed in order for the resurrection of the Witches of Old Salem to begin.


 * Chapter 17: Miles to Go
 * Florence stares up at the sky in a tranquil state. She thinks of Callum and becomes determined to see him again
 * These are the final moments before her death.

Trivia

 * It is unknown what causes these dreams, and how they can somehow show the future.
 * Presumably, magic is involved.
