Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted Part 152

Warts.

If you are troubled with warts on your person, in dreams, you will be unable to successfully parry the thrusts made at your honor.

To see them leaving your hands, foretells that you will overcome disagreeable obstructions to fortune.

To see them on others, shows that you have bitter enemies near you. If you doctor them, you will struggle with energy to ward off threatened danger to you and yours.

Washboard.

To see a washboard in your dreams, is indicative of embarra.s.sment. If you see a woman using one, it predicts that you will let women rob you of energy and fortune.

To bathe your face and hands in a bowl of clear water, denotes that you will soon consummate pa.s.sionate wishes which will bind you closely to some one who interested you, but before pa.s.sion enveloped you.

If the bowl is soiled, or broken, you will rue an illicit engagement, which will give others pain, and afford you small pleasure.

Washer Woman.

A washer woman seen in dreams, represents infidelity and a strange adventure. For the business man, or farmer, this dream indicates expanding trade and fine crops.

To make a present of one, denotes you will suffer your interest to decline in the pursuance of undignified recreations.

Water.

If the water is muddy, you will be in danger and gloom will occupy Pleasure's seat.

If you see it rise up in your house, denotes that you will struggle to resist evil, but unless you see it subside, you will succ.u.mb to dangerous influences.

If you find yourself baling it out, but with feet growing wet, foreshadows trouble, sickness, and misery will work you a hard task, but you will forestall them by your watchfulness. The same may be applied to muddy water rising in vessels.

To fall into muddy water, is a sign that you will make many bitter mistakes, and will suffer poignant grief therefrom.

To drink muddy water, portends sickness, but drinking it clear and refres.h.i.+ng brings favorable consummation of fair hopes.

To sport with water, denotes a sudden awakening to love and pa.s.sion.

To have it sprayed on your head, denotes that your pa.s.sionate awakening to love will meet reciprocal consummation.

The following dream and its allegorical occurrence in actual life is related by a young woman student of dreams:

"Without knowing how, I was (in my dream) on a boat, I waded through clear blue water to a wharfboat, which I found to be snow white, but rough and splintry. The next evening I had a delightful male caller, but he remained beyond the time prescribed by mothers and I was severely censured for it." The blue water and fairy white boat were the disappointing prospects in the symbol.

Water-carrier.
