STOCKINGS. To dream of cotton-stockings, foretells moderate happiness; of silk, poverty. To take them off, denotes the reception of money. Stockings with holes in them, signify the loss of property. 47, 71.
STORM. (See [Rain], [Hail] and [Snow].) To dream of a devastating storm, foretells losses and trouble: a violent rain-storm denotes that you will have good luck, but that misfortunes will nevertheless injure your prospects: gentle showers promise the luck without the adverse omen. 21, 72.
STOVE. To dream of a stove is a sign of wealth, if there be a fire in it; but if cold, a sign of poverty. 8, 60.
STRANGER. For a girl to dream that she is kissed by a stranger, promises her a new lover: a married woman who dreams this will probably soon present her husband with a stranger in the shape of a new baby, and he will unhappily doubt its paternity. 62, 8.
STRAW. To dream of a bundle of straw denotes abundance; if scattered about, poverty. 4, 51, 78.
STRAWBERRIES. To dream of this fruit, denotes success in love affairs, and a happy marriage. 39, 78.
SUCKLE. (See Wet-Nurse.) If a married woman dreams of suckling a child, it foretells that she will soon give birth to another; should a bachelor dream of seeing a child suckled, he had better make up his mind that he will soon have a young lady’s board to pay, whether he marries or not; but as the latter would be the better course let him be looking round for a wife at once. A married man who dreams this, will soon become a happy father. 7, 9, 63.
SUGAR. To dream of sugar denotes purity: if a lover dreams that his sweetheart presents him with white loaf-sugar, it shows that her affection for him is pure and disinterested; it is therefore a good sign for him to dream of taking tea with her, as she would naturally put such sugar in his tea: to dream of sugar of any kind, or sugar candy, is an excellent omen. 19, 48.
An old prediction runs as follows:
