ICE. (See [Skating] and [Sliding].) To dream of walking on slippery ice in winter, is a sign that misfortune threatens you: if you slip down, it foreshadows bad luck: if you dream of gliding or skating easily over smooth ice, it shows that you will probably have a difficulty of some kind, but will overcome it and get through handsomely. For lovers to dream of going over ice is a bad omen. 4, 28.

ILLNESS. (See [Sickness].) To dream that you are ill and confined to your bed is a sign that some one will overreach you in a bargain, or cheat you in some way. Such a dream is a bad omen to loves, as it predicts false vows. 16, 38.

ILLUMINATION. To dream of an illumination augurs success in life and much happiness; if the light begins to disappear, sorrow and many tears will be your portion. 24, 68.

IMPERTINENCE. If a girl dreams that she meets a gentleman who is impertinent toward her in conversation, it is a sign she will make a new male acquaintance who will be very agreeable to her: if she gets angry at the said impertinence she will probably fall in love with her new friend and either marry him or be on improper intimate terms with him. 1, 11.

INDIGO. To dream of indigo, denotes to a female that she will cross the ocean. When she dreams of putting the indigo in water, and it gives no color, she may be assured she will arrive in India. But to embrace the water in the usual way, no such thing will come to pass. 27, 15.

INFANT. (See [Child].) Dreaming of a young infant is an excellent omen, as it foretells joy and gladness, good luck, and success generally. Lovers who dream such a dream may be sure of a happy and thrifty marriage. To a business man this dream predicts a new and successful enterprise. 29, 76.

INK. To dream that you see splashes of ink on white paper, or on anything, is a sign of scandal: after such a dream, you may be sure that somebody will be talking pretty hard about you: the larger the splashes the bigger will be the stories that are told. 41.

INN. To dream of being at an inn, is very unfavorable; it denotes poverty and unsuccessfulness in business; to the lover, the unfaithfulness of his sweetheart; to the tradesman, loss of business and dishonest agents. 46, 33.

INQUEST. To dream that you are present at a coroner’s inquest, is a bad sign; you will soon squander your fortune. 49, 16.

INSULT. (See [Abuse].)
