BEATING. For married people to dream of beating some one, shows that they will live a peaceful life; to bachelors, good fortune in their amours; if a lover beats his mistress, or a lady her suitor, it shows that the match will be broken off. 5.

BED. To dream that you are lying in bed, signifies that you are in danger; being in bed and not able to sleep, sickness; to see a stranger in your bed, brings quarrels in married life; a well-made bed, shows that you will become established in life. 63, 9.

BED-BUGS. Denote strife, and quarrels. 2, 10.

BEER. To dream you are drinking beer, is a sure sign of domestic troubles. 6, 8.

BEES. (See [Sting].) It is good and lucky to dream of bees; to a farmer it predicts good crops; to a lover, excellent success with his sweetheart; to a maid it promises a good and wealthy husband. 17, 62, 4.

BEGGARS. To dream that a beggar annoys you, is a sign of misfortune, or some piece of bad luck. To a young girl who has a suitor, it predicts that if she marries him she will be poor. 26.

BEHEADING. To dream that you see a person that is going to be beheaded, or if you see one beheaded, it is an excellent sign; in love you will be successful; in prison you will be released; and any trouble you have will soon vanish; it is also a sign you will soon meet a long absent friend who will be glad to see you. 74, 19, 10.

BELLS. To dream that you hear bells ringing merrily is a sign of a wedding, or else that you will soon hear some good news. If the bell tolls solemnly, it foretells a funeral or bad news. To a girl, the tolling of a bell predicts that some one will deceive her. 16.

BELLY. To dream one’s belly is bigger and fuller than ordinary, shows his family and estate will increase; if one dreams his belly is grown lean and shrunk up, he will be joyfully delivered of some bad accident; if any one dreams that his belly is swelled, and yet notwithstanding be empty, he will become poor; if a girl dreams of a big belly, it is a sign of marriage. 24, 77.

BET. To dream that you bet with any one, shows that you will suffer from your own imprudence. 66, 12, 72.
