SNUFFERS. (See [Candles].) To dream of snuffing out a candle, is a sign of a death in the family: if you imagine that you snuff it too short, without putting it out, it foretells that you will do something that will make a female friend shed tears. 40.
SOAP. Signifies trouble in business, but it will soon depart. 66, 3, 11.
SOLDIER’S DRUM. (See [Zouave], [Parade] and [Procession].)
SORES. To dream of your body being covered with blotches, shows that a great fortune will fall to you. To have the arms full of sores, shows ill success in business. 19, 74.
SOW. To dream of a sow with a large litter of pigs, denotes abundance to a farmer, but is a sign of ill-health to a tradesman or mechanic: if a girl dreams this, it foretells that she will soon marry a man in bad health. 4, 12, 48.
SPIDER. To dream that you see a spider coming toward you, is a sign that some one will soon pay you money: if you imagine that the spider spins down before your face, the omen is similar, for you will make a good lot of money in some way. If a married woman dreams of seeing a large spider, it foretells that she will have a miscarriage, which she will not be sorry for. 72, 16.
SPY-GLASS. To dream of looking through one of these instruments and observing objects at a distance, is a sign that you will enlarge your possessions; if you are a farmer, you will add to your farm; if a man of business, enlarge your business, &c.; but to a poor devil who hasn’t got much of anything, it predicts that he will increase his family for the want of something else to enlarge. 14.
SQUINTING. (See [Eye].) If a girl dreams of seeing a good-looking young man who squints, it is a sign that some one has fallen in love with her, and only waits an opportunity to demonstrate his passion: if a gentleman dreams that his sweetheart squints, it foretells that she is thinking about some one else rather than him, and would not break her heart if he refused to “come to tea.” 49.
SQUIRREL. To dream of these animals is a sign of good fortune; they denote abundant crops to a farmer, and success to any one: if a man dreams of being bitten by a squirrel, it foretells that he will lose something by robbery; if he catches the animal when it bites him, and puts it in a cage, the omen is different, for he will have a piece of good luck—though a robbery may be mixed up in it. 21.
STABLE. To dream of a stable denotes hospitality and good entertainment. 2, 11.
