To dream of being in a boat,
Does show that maidens’ fancies float;
And whether sink or swim they do,
To try love’s sport their skill they’ll show.
BOOKS. To be reading serious books, shows honor and station in life; to read lascivious books, shame and disgrace. 4.
BOOTS. (See [Shoes].) To dream of new boots and shoes, indicates sweethearts to the single, and friends to the married; old shoes or boots show separation, and dirty or old ones are a sign of poverty and sorrow. 33.
BOTTLES. To dream of bottles is a good sign; to a man, success in business; to a maid, speedy marriage; if they are broken, they signify sorrow. 56, 34.
BOUQUET. To receive one, much pleasure; to give one, signifies that your lover is constant. 43, 7.
BOY. If a lady dreams that she is delivered of a boy, her life will be a pleasant one. 52.
BREAD. (See Thick.) To dream of bread is an excellent sign. If you see a good deal, the better the dream. It foretells good fortune to either man or woman. To lovers it predicts that they will make a good match and be well off, if not rich. To farmers it promises full and abundant crops. 1, 15.
