What Your Dreams Mean: An Ancient Dream Guide
What Your Dreams Mean is a cherished, long trusted dream guide. Although it was first published in the 1940′s, many people still turn to its entries for answers. Because it is such a fun guide to use, we’re including it on Dream Prophesy. Please, please, please bear in mind, however, that we do control our own destiny and we most certainly make our own magic.
Just because an entry forecasts a bad omen, don’t think it’s an automatic sentence to a bad experience. It very well could have been a bad dream signaled by a bad moment, spicy food, or a foul mood!
Having said all of that, let’s get to the What Your Dreams Mean Guide.
Please be patient while this guide is being typed in and published on the site.
Find the word (or words) that most describe what your dream was about. For the best “reading,” find as many relevant words as possible. Also, bear in mind that this book was written in the 1940′s, so find the term that was most relevant then. For example, if you dream about gymnasts, you might want to look for the word ACROBAT. You know, that sort of thing!
[ A ]
ABDUCTION. To dream of being abducted or being forcibly taken away is a sign that success in any field of activity – business, love, social, professional, political, or artistic – will come to the dreamer. See also Captive, Kidnapping.
ABSENCE. Dreaming of the absence of a member of your own family or of an old friend means that you will soon hear pleasant news of a personal nature.
ABSTAINING. To dream that you refuse to drink any kind of alcoholic beverage is a forecast of excellent health.
ABUNDANCE. To dream of having a great deal of everything, more than he could possibly use, is a sign to the dreamer to think of and to save for a rainy day, when he may have little – or nothing.
ABYSS. An abyss or pit into which the dreamer has fallen means that conditions are working against you and that you should allow some period of time to pass before making any change in your address or work. See also Ditch.
ACCIDENT. Accidents in an automobile, a plane, a boat, or a train are signs for the dreamer to avoid using temporarily these means of transportation; by extension, it is wise for the person to avoid, as much as possible, the thing or object that is part of the dream: if one dreams of cutting himself, of being struck with a blunt instrument, or of falling, he should take great care in using knives or any sharp instrument, any hammer-like device or mechanism.
ACCORDION. To dream of hearing this instrument being played is a sign that some well-laid plan will not turn out as you wish; playing it yourself means that you will be happy in the selection of a mate; hearing several accordions being played, as in a theater or music hall, means that you will be called to a post requiring high ability in handling large groups of people; playing an accordion that is out of tune means that your normally peaceful life will be disturbed by family quarrels and office gossip.
ACCOUNTANT. Dreaming that your future husband is an accountant or bookkeeper means that you will marry a fine man and a good provider who will make life easy for you by anticipating your wants and satisfying them; seeing several accountants or bookkeepers at work in an office is a sign that you will soon be placed in a position of authority over other people.
ACCUSATION. Accusations against one are to be regarded as friendly warnings to the dreamer not to place trust in false friends who seek to obtain his position.
ACES. To dream of the Ace of Hearts means success in love and social life; the Ace of Diamonds means great success in business; the Ace of Spades means hard work and disappointments, with no assurance of final success; the Ace of Clubs means loss of prestige and money losses. See also Cards.
ACHE. An ache or pain in the head is a sign that the dreamer should cultivate the habit of keeping his business and personal affairs to himself; a toothache means that a cheering letter or message is on its way to you; an earache foretells the successful working out of an important plan.
ACORN. Acorns lying on the ground mean that the plans and projects, both business and social, of the dreamer will be highly successful, even exceeding his expectations; falling acorns represent unusual opportunities that will soon come your way; gathering acorns means that you will win prizes in various contests testing your ability to answer questions.
ACQUITTED. To dream that you have been charged with some crime and have been acquitted in court means that the efforts of your enemies will come to naught and you will make rapid progress.
ACTOR. Dreaming of the performance of a great actor or actress is a sign that you will be surrounded by luxury; dreaming that you are an actor means that you will win success in whatever calling you adopt; to forget your lines foretells an unpleasant experience.
ADAPTABILITY. Dreaming of your good fortune in being able to adapt yourself to any situation that may arise is a sure sign that your financial condition is sound and will remain so.
ADMIRATION. To dream that people are admiring and praising you means that your sweetheart or helpmate is true and sincerely devoted.
ADVERTISEMENT. Reading advertisements in a paper or magazine is a sign that you will improve your way of living; answering an advertisement foretells a promotion to a high position; inserting an advertisement in a newspaper or periodical means a tremendous increase in the volume of your business; dreaming that you write advertising copy means that changes in your company will reduce the influence of those not friendly to you; reading advertising signs on the street is a sign that you will be transferred to a distant branch in your company.
ADVICE. To dream that you are giving advice means that you are going to do something for which you will be greatly honored by all those about you. To dream that advice is being given to you means that you will presently encounter obstacles but that you will be aided by the counsel of friends.
AGE. To dream about your age is a reminder that you must keep young in spirit!
