If dreaming dictionaries can be relied on, people may discover by
their thoughts in sleep when they are to be prosperous or unlucky;
when they are to have joy or sorrow; when they are to be successful in
love and war; and when they may expect friends to guard them against
enemies. To dream of an anchor is good; it gives hope of good fortune.
If a sick person dream of white clothing, he may look for protracted
indisposition, if not death; but black apparel denotes speedy
recovery. It is not good to dream of raiment of many colours. To dream
of being richly arrayed is good, but to see tattered clothing in the
visions of the night forebodes evil. It is good to dream of good ripe
fruit, but sour fruit signifies encounters with bitter enemies. Sweet
apples indicate faithfulness in a sweetheart, whereas unripe cherries
foretell vexation and disappointment to lovers. Good figs are signs of
prosperity. Gooseberries indicate to husband or wife many children.
Grapes foretell to the spinster a cheerful husband, and much
happiness in all her life. Dreaming of melons, mulberries, or nuts,
gives promise of riches, success in love, and harmony. It is also good
to dream of peaches, pears, raspberries, and strawberries; but if
oranges, plums, tamarinds, or walnuts are seen in the visions of
night, losses and crosses may be looked for.
To dream of a funeral denotes marriage, good fortune, and happiness.
If a maiden see a hearse in her sleep, she may expect a rich husband.
If a grave appear to one in his dreams, sickness and disappointment
may be expected, unless the dreamer imagines he is rising out of it.
In that case, success may be looked for. On the other hand
