WAR. To dream that war exists, and that you see bodies of troops marching, foretells quarrels and troubles in your family, if you have one, and if not, among your relatives: if you imagine you see a battle, the omen is still worse, as the quarrel will probably become public and notorious. 4, 6, 24.
WARMING-PAN. If any single person dreams that his or her bed is warmed with one of these utensils, it is a positive forerunner of their marriage: if a married woman dreams this, it is a sign that she will go to bed with a strange bedfellow (whether male or female, is not known). 16.
WARTS. To dream of warts on your left hand is a sign you will receive some money; if they are on the right hand, it foretells that you will pay away money: to dream of a wart on the nose, signifies that you will be distinguished; on the neck or bosom of a female, denotes riches. 65.
WASHING. To dream of washing, foretells change of abode, and if you wash in clear, cold water, the dream is an omen of good; but If the water is dirty or turbid, it is the reverse. If a woman dream she is washing clothes, it is a sign she will hear good news within twenty-four hours. 20, 16.
WASP. (See [Sting].) To dream of wasps denotes thrift and abundance, particularly to farmers and those who have fruit-trees. If a girl dreams that she is stung by a mud-wasp, it foretells that she will marry a gentleman who will love her dearly. 62, 18.
WASTE. To dream of waste is a sign of beggary, provided you are the cause of the waste; but if you feel bad and try to prevent it, the omen is one of losses, which may not end in beggary. 29, 17.
WATCH. (See [Clock].) If you dream of buying a gold watch, it is a sign of poverty; but if you imagine that you are presented with one, it foretells good luck and money-getting: to dream of losing your gold watch is also a good omen, as it denotes success in business. 42, 11.
WATCHMAN. To dream of calling in one, gives confidence: to see a person taken to prison by a watchman, shows that you must be careful in conducting your business. If the watchman take hold of you, it is a very good sign. To see many watchmen together, signifies the loss of money. 67, 52.
WATER. To dream of being on the water, is good, if the water be clear; but if muddy or troubled, the reverse. To see a wide expanse of water, over or on which you wish to get, but cannot, shows that you are about to embark in some undertaking without first securing the means of success. (See Bathing, Fountain, Pump, Pitcher, River, Rowing, Sailing, Swimming, Thirst, Washing and Well.) 42, 18.
WATERMELONS. (See [Melons].)
