STAGE-COACH. To dream of riding in one signifies good luck in business: if you run after one, you will be out of employment for a long season: to see one pass, will rid you of troublesome friends. If you are in a stage-coach and it turns over without injuring you, you will be lucky in your speculations; if you dream you are killed by the fall, you must expect misfortune. (See [Riding] and [Coach].) 6, 12, 72.
STAIN. For a girl to dream of stains on her dress, is a sign of scandal: if she imagines that the stains are in front, she will be accused of an improper intimacy with a gentleman; if on the right sleeve, it will be insinuated that she took what did not belong to her; if on the left sleeve, some one will be disparaging her veracity. If a lover dreams that his sweetheart’s dress is stained behind, it shows that she is untrue to him. 65, 13.
STARS. (See [Night].) To dream of seeing multitudes of bright stars in a clear sky, is a sign (to a lady) that she will have a great many children, and troops of good friends: to a man of business, such a dream denotes as many customers as he sees stars in a clear sky. If a girl dreams of seeing stars, and notices one or more to be brighter than the rest, those bright ones are lovers, and the small ones are her children or friends. 4, 19.
STATUE. To dream of marble statues is a sign of advancement; those who imagine that they see beautiful statuary will be sure to rise above their present position in society. 3, 13.
STEALING. (See [Thief].) If you dream of being robbed, it is a sign that you will make a good speculation of some kind; to dream of stealing any particular article yourself, foretells that you will soon want just that thing; thus, if you imagine that you steal money, you will be badly in want of some. 49, 16.
STEEL. (See [Metals].)
STEEPLE. (See [Tower].) To dream of going up to the top of a steeple, and looking off at a distance, is a sign that you will increase your property or effects: if a girl dreams this, it foretells that she will marry above her present position. 6.
STICK. To hold a stick foretells mourning; to use it as a prop, instability of fortune; to any one with it shows that you are charitable; to receive a beating with one, predicts you will better your position in life. 7, 7[TN: illegible].
STILLBORN. If a woman dreams that she gives birth to a stillborn child, it foretells that her next child will be an uncommon bright one: a childless woman who dreams this, will realize her fondest hopes. 49, 77.
STING. To dream of being stung by a bee or wasp, foretells an injury by unjust and scandalous reports: a young lady who dreams that a bee stings her, will probably have her chastity questioned. 64, 18.
