WORMS. (See [Grub].) To dream of fish-worms, such as are dug in the garden, is a sign of health and good fortune; dreaming of any destructive worms foretells sickness and losses: if you dream that worms spin down from a tree and light upon you, it denotes difficulties and bad luck. 65, 4, 70.
WOUND. To dream that you are wounded by being stabbed or shot by an enemy, foretells losses and poverty; if the wounds are accidental, it still denotes losses, though your general fortune may not be affected. 13, 42.
WREN. To dream that one of these musical little birds makes her nest anywhere on your premises, is a sign of joy and riches; a girl who dreams this will make a happy match, though perhaps not a rich one, as the riches only come to the family that lives in the house. 1, 73.
WRINKLES. If a lady dreams that her face has become wrinkled, it is a sign that some one is, or has been, praising her good looks; an old bachelor who dreams this, “had better believe” that some young lady is in love with him, for there is no accounting for taste. 66, 4.
WRIST. If a girl dreams that her wrist is large or mis-shapen, it foretells that she will come to poverty after marriage; if she imagines that there is a tumor or swelling, or even a wart on it, it is a sign that she will be dependent on some one for her bread, and that person may or may not be her husband. 7, 57, 19.
WRITING. (See [Pen] and [Accounts].) To dream of writing a letter, foretells that absent friends are about to visit you: if a girl dreams of writing a love-letter, it is a sign that her lover will soon return and clasp her in his arms, if she allows any such familiarities. To dream you make a blot while writing, is a sign of sickness. 14.
YACHT. To dream you see a yacht under full sail, while you are on shore, is a sign you will soon fall in love with a pretty maid, or widow. To dream you are sailing in a yacht with a pleasant breeze, is a good omen, and denotes success in business, and to lovers, happiness. Dreams of sailing on smooth water are good to all persons, but to dream the weather is stormy, predicts quarrels and strife. (See Ship and Boat.) 71, 29.
YELLOW. To dream of having any yellow article presented to you, is a sign you will get gold: if a girl dreams that her lover gives her yellow flowers, it foretells that she will marry rich. 60, 41.
YOKE. To dream of seeing sleek and healthy cattle yoked together and acting in harmony, is a sign of a happy marriage: if a girl dreams this, she will be apt to put her own neck in Hymen’s yoke before a great while. To imagine you see yoked cattle wrangling, and trying to get their necks out of the yoke, foretells matrimonial troubles, though it still denotes wedlock to the unmarried. 6, 11.
YOUNG. If an old or middle aged person dreams that they are young, it foretells their death: for a young person to dream that he or she is a child, the omen is similar; but to dream of youths, is a sign that you will live to a great age. 69, 4.
