TABLE-CLOTH. To dream of a dirty table-cloth foretells that you will have plenty to eat. 51.

TAILOR. If a girl dreams that she has a tailor for her beau, and is pleased with him, it is a sign that she will marry a softly sort of a fellow, who will allow her to be both master and mistress after marriage. Here is a popular rhyme in illustration: 19, 70.

The maid who dreams a tailor she would wed,
Will marry one who’ll be a log in bed;
And she’ll be master, too, of all his riches,
And, in the vulgar parlance,  “wear the breeches!”

TALL. If a young lady dreams that her beau is a very tall man, it is a sign that her future husband will be a  “wee bit of a fellow,” and not of much account. 4.

TAMARINDS. To dream of tamarinds shows much vexation and uneasiness through a woman, bad success in trade, a rainy season, and news from beyond sea that is disagreeable: in love they denote disappointment. 77, 16.

TANNERY. To dream of being in a tannery is a sign of health and riches: if a girl dreams that her beau is a tanner, she will probably get a good husband, and one who is well off, and will live to a good old age, for your tanners are usually tough customers. 52, 7.

TAR. To dream of tar is a sign you will travel by water: if you dream you get it on your hands or clothes, it shows that you will have difficulties; and to imagine you accidentally seat yourself on tar, and get stuck to the seat, foretells that you will be detained against your will in some foreign country. 12, 6, 72.

TAVERN. (See [Inn].)

TEA. To dream of drinking tea, or being present at a tea-party, is a sign of thrift and domestic happiness: a girl who dreams of meeting her lover at such a party, or of drinking tea with him, may be sure that he’s all right, and she can close her matrimonial bargain with him at once without any risk. 61, 19.

TEARS. To dream of shedding tears of sympathy, is a sign that some one is in love with you; this applies to both sexes, but more particularly to girls who cry easy: if you imagine you cry from grief, some good fortune awaits you, and you will have riches in proportion to the tears shed: if you dream that you shed tears from vexation, it shows that you will experience a loss just in proportion to the tears, or that some one will injure your prospects by circulating a scandal. 14.
