A Dictionary of Dreams
As a rule dreams are very complex and it is difficult to single out any particular feature that stands forth and dominates the dream. But it frequently happens that one idea is so vivid that it is remembered to the exclusion of all the rest. When you have a dream of this kind refer at once to the following list, look up the dominant thought of your dream and the interpretation will be given. These meanings are not random guesses, but are compiled from a number of very old books which have come down to us from such seers, astrologers and psychologists as Cagliostro, Lenormand, Albertus Magnus and others. Of course the meaning of the dream may be considerably modified by what subconscious thoughts accompany the dream. Thus while pearls may represent tears, yet if they are accompanied by the idea of love the indication is favorable, and means a gift of affection.
Abandoned—Dreaming that you are deserted by your friends denotes their affection and love, but to dream that you have abandoned someone you love is a sign of disappointment.
Abbey—The ruins of an abbey mean good fortune; if seen by moonlight, wealth.
Abroad—Dreaming that you are in a strange land signifies success in your undertakings.
Absence—To be absent from home means a joyful reunion. To see people who are absent foretells speedy return.
Abundance—To dream of abundance shows a false security.
Account—A bank account signifies bankruptcy.
Acorns—Are a sign of loss of money or of love.
Almonds—If you dream of eating them it denotes an evil from which you will escape.
