BIRDS. To dream of birds is much better for the rich than the poor; to dream of little birds, the contrary; to dream that you hear birds chirp is a good sign; to see birds fighting, signifies adversity; to see birds fly over your head, signifies prejudice by enemies. 14, 77.

BIRDS’ NESTS. To dream that you find one is a good sign; to dream that you find one without either eggs or birds, shows you will meet with great disappointment. 64.

BIRTH. (See Still-born.) To dream of a birth is good for a poor man; to the sick it denotes death. 18, 42.

BITE. To dream that you are bitten, foretells much jealousy and sorrow. 15, 19.

BLASPHEMY. If you dream that you are cursing, it foretells bad fortune; if you are cursed, all your expectations will be fulfilled. 4, 72.

BLEEDING. (See [Fingers].) To dream of bleeding at the nose signifies loss of goods, and decay of riches; to a young girl it foretells the loss of her lover. 75, 19, 5.

BLIND. (See [Eye].) To dream of being blind shows that you are deceived in a supposed friend; this dream also threatens the dreamer with want of money; to a lover, it predicts that his sweetheart is untrue to him; this dream also foretells death. 66.

BLOOD. To dream you vomit blood, is good for him that is poor, for he shall soon get a sum of money. It is also very good for him that has no children, and whose kindred are in a strange country; the first shall see a child of his own; the other will hear favorable news of his kindred, or see them returning home. 11, 19.

BLOSSOMS. If you dream you see trees or plants in blossom, it predicts that you will get some money, or some article that you little expected. It also signifies that you will be pleased at something that will soon happen. 43, 14, 7.

BOAT. (See Oar, and Rudder.) To dream you are sailing in a boat in pleasant weather, and enjoying yourself, denotes good success in business; to lovers it foretells happiness; if the weather is boisterous, it predicts quarrels, which will be speedily settled; dreams of sailing smoothly in boats are emphatically good ones to all kinds of people. 71, 10.
