INUNDATION. (See [Overflow].)

IRON. (See [Metals].)

ITCH. To dream that you have the itch, or that your body itches, shows that you will shortly receive money. 40, 9.

ISLAND. To dream that you are on a deserted island shows that you will commit some act to disgust your friends and make them cut your acquaintance; be careful how you behave after dreaming such a dream. 19, 65, 22.

IVORY. To dream of ivory, signifies that you will be very successful in business. To the single it is a sign they will soon fall in love and be fortunate in their courtship. To the married it denotes domestic happiness. 4, 75, 30.

IVY. To dream of seeing this vine running over and covering any house, is a sign of poverty, particularly if the ivy grows thick and abundant: if you dream that it covers your own house, the sign is still more sure: for a farmer to dream that he sees ivy covering a tree, denotes bad crops. A girl who dreams of being in a bower covered with ivy, will probably marry a poor and shiftless man. 2.

JAIL. (See [Prison].) If a man dreams he is confined in a prison or jail, it shows that he will have honors or dignities conferred upon him, as such dreams go contrariwise: if his arrest and imprisonment worries him, it only shows that he will be the more delighted with his new dignities. 46.

JAR. To dream that a house is jarred or shook by an earthquake, an explosion, or anything that may occur outside, is a sign that the head of the family in that house will be sick. Jars of preserved fruit or jellies, seen in a dream, are good omens; if you dream you are presented with one or more of them, it shows you will be long lived and thrifty. 15, 39.

JEALOUSY. To dream you are jealous of your sweetheart, or wife, signifies that they will betray you; for a maiden to dream she is jealous of her sweetheart is a sign some particular friend will  “cut her out;” for a wife to dream she is jealous of her husband, foretells the loss of his love. 28, 6.

JELLY. To dream of having pots of jelly given to you, or that you are eating jelly, and that plenty of it is around, is a sure sign of long life and good fortune generally; as many pots as are given to you, or as you may have, so many generations will you live to see. The same rule applies to preserved fruits. 65, 18, 78.
