TORCH. To see a bright torch-light at a distance in a dark night, and go toward it, foretells a successful journey; but if you stumble by the way you will experience an accident: to dream of carrying a lighted torch at night, is a sign that some distant friend will pay you a visit. 20.
TOWER. (See [Steeple].) To dream of going upon a high tower, and looking off on a beautiful landscape, foretells that you will acquire land either by purchase or inheritance: if you look off upon the water, it is a sign of a journey by sea, during which you will acquire riches: if birds are flying around the tower, they foretell so many troubles. 58.
TRAP. To dream of setting a trap to catch rats or mice, is a sign, to a girl, that she will receive the attentions of a dishonest lover: if she dreams of catching any, she will probably marry a great scamp, or be seduced by one. 6.
TRAVELING. To dream of traveling by railroad or steamboat is a very good omen, as it denotes thrift and success in your business; but if you dream you are journeying in your own private coach, it foreshadows poverty in the end, though you may have temporary good luck: if you dream you have crossed the ocean, and find yourself in a foreign country, you may be sure that good fortune will attend all your business transactions. 6, 11, 66.
TREES. (See [Blossom].) To dream of green and flourishing trees is an excellent omen, as it foretells riches—the larger the trees, the better the fortune: if you dream of climbing into a high tree, you will not only be rich, but will come to great distinction. If a girl should dream of seeing her lover up a tree, she will marry a wealthy and distinguished man. 4.
TRIPE. If a woman dreams of cleaning tripe, it foretells that she will either be untrue to her husband or an outrage will be perpetrated upon her: to dream of eating tripe is about as bad, for it shows to a man that he will be engaged in some affair with a female (not his wife) which will bring him to disgrace. 28, 9.
TRIPLETS. If a woman dreams that she gives birth to three children at one parturition, it foretells riches and honors: if a husband dreams that his wife is so delivered, the omen is the same: if any one dreams of seeing triplets who are healthy and well-formed, it foretells good luck and success, particularly in love matters. 46, 5.
TROUT. To dream of catching trout is an excellent omen, as it foretells that you will get money—the larger the trout, the more cash you will receive. It is stated in some of the books that to newly married people such a dream foretells the birth of a child, but I have been unable to verify this, because most young married people will have children whether they dream of trout or not. 29, 5.
TRUMPET. To dream you hear the sound of a trumpet, is a bad omen, and denotes trouble and misfortune; to the tradesman it presages the loss of business; to the farmer, bad crops; to the lover, insincerity in the object of your affections. 46, 9.
TRUNK. To dream of a full trunk, shows the necessity of economy; an empty one, signifies that you may expect to receive money. 39, 62, 1.
