The second-most-popular dream divination book of the 20th centry (after Aunt Sally's) was the H.P. Dream Book by "Prof. Uriah Konje," a pseudonym of the African American author and publisher Herbert Parris (hence the "H.P." of the title).
Three-digit lucky numbers lists include Holidays, 66 pages of dreams (without interpretations), letters of the alphabet, 5 pages of ladies's names, 5 pages of gentlemens's names, natural events, days of the week, months of the year, body parts, garments, states, territories, and cities of the USA.
This book also contains an introduction and two mportant messages addresed "To the Black people of the World" and "To All Oppressed people of the World."
In keeping with the political consciousness of the author, it is not surprising to see that, under the lists of "Notions" (natural events one might see while NOT dreaming) the first item is "To see a race riot" -- in which event, your lucky number for the day is 291.
In addition to his outspoken plitical views, Herbert Gladstone Parris was also a philosopher and a promoter of right living among the gamblers who used his betteing system, teaching them that "love is the only supreme agency in the guidance of man's career and self-determination of his ultimate destiny."
