I read this little bit old article about the legislation towards fortune-tellers. This rules psychics to acquire permits to do their business for $500, and requires them to post rate cards and a phone number.

On the background of this issue, there are fraud cases like,

Police fraud inspectors say dozens of San Franciscans lose large amounts of money every year to fortune-tellers who charge $500 and up for weekly visits and who dupe clients with sleight-of-hand demonstrations of their "powers."

And there are some questionable psychics who have done a classic curse removals, in this way.

The tricks, banned under the new law, include the knot in the thread (the fortune-teller makes a knot disappear) and the blood in the glass (the fortune- teller asks a client to spit into a glass of water, then secretly adds black dye to show the client is cursed).

Also banned would be the hair in the grapefruit (the client rubs a grapefruit on his body and covers it with money, and the fortune-teller then plants a hair inside the grapefruit to prove the money is cursed, and keeps the money) and the buried money in the graveyard (the fortune-teller promises to bury a client's "cursed" money in a graveyard, but keeps it instead).

I felt some strangeness. For me, as a Japanese, the ways of fortune-telling are different than Japanese fortune-tellers. it seems more ritual here. And lately, fortune-telling has become more casual. That is, there are no women fashion or lifestyle magazine without horoscope.

Let's back to the story, the point of this is there are swindlers using fortune-telling stuff to delude the victim, They are disguising themselves as fortune-tellers.

And in this industry, the customers consult with fortune-tellers are so serious that they tend to spend a lot money. Swindlers take advantage of the point.

This kind of people deprive fortune-tellers of citizenship. That's why this legislation is made in order to put up a obvious boundary between swindlers and fortune-tellers. I think this rule is to support real fortune-tellers.

Lastly, I put the line of this article.

Peskin said fortune-telling is an "age-old industry that is welcome in San Francisco" and said he did not want to discourage legitimate, modestly priced psychics, seers, tarot card readers or sellers of fortune cookies, a plate of which was on the table where Peskin spoke.

I happened to find this paid-counseling website

Dream Analysis Online Experts

I did not know that there are such a large number of on-line dream analyzers. Above all, This expert seems greatest on this list apparently, To get her analysis, it costs $12.00 per minute ($720/hour). I have no idea the prices of this dream counseling is appropriate or not(in this site, some counselors offer less than $5 per minute ), but there are huge number of reviews towards her. I saw 4412 reviews. So the people who need her dream analysis probably take it reasonable.


Guessing from this page, she has 7 to 15 counsellings per day. And the process of this process will be,

• The consulter explain about their dreams and their current condition in her real life (at least 5 min).
  


• The spiritualist explain the meaning of the dreams and advise what's going on or what will occur in her life (at least 5 min).
  

If the consulter needs more information from the spiritualist, they would keep this session. Let me guess her current sales roughly.

$12 × 13 min × 7 people = $1098

Her sale is around $1,000 working 1 hour 21 minutes.
I do not conclude how lucrative this dream analyzing industry is from my stupid assumption, but I am surprised there are so many people need to understand the meaning behind their dreams.
