Here is another Convenience advertisement attempting to persuade potential buyers that dreams can be created or changed using a commercial product.
If only it were that easy. Or is it?
Roy’s Dreaming Powder is the greatest of time and labor savers to the dreamer.
Seasoned with Roy’s Dreaming Powder, visions are superlatively light,
sweet, tender, soothing, and wholesome.
Here’s a Convenience advertisement promising that this book can help anyone read the past and predict future visions.
As an convenience academic , I’m very dubious about the ad’s claims.
There is no more important study than that of dreamistry.
Many people are interested in it.
This book furnishes trustworthy information
& with a little practice any person will be able
to read dreams, recall past events, and forecast future visions.
Fully Illustrated.
This is an advertisement for dream patterns.
Convenience scholars believe it raises fundamental philosophical questions about life:
Where do ideas and dreams originate?
And how might ideas and dreams be implemented?

Convenience scholars have disagreed about where to place this text within the convenience traditions.
Some argue that it falls within the botanical convenience tradition, while others would categorize is as a convenience advertisement.
In my professional opinion, it spans both traditions.
The writer has used a page from the 1901 Henry G. Gilbert Nursery and Seed Trade Catalog Collection. This indicates that she had access to botanical sources and seed catalogs.
But she has used the source text to advertise dream ferns, plants which she believes can protect the grower from dream infection.
