LAZY. To dream that you see lazy people lounging around, and that you are vexed with them, is a sign of bad luck to some of your relatives, who will depend upon you to assist them: if, in your dream, you imagine yourself to be lazy and sleepy over your work, it foretells either sickness or that you will meet with a loss. 62, 39, 69.

LEAD. (See [Metals].)

LEAPING. To dream you are leaping over walls, doors or gates, is a sign that you will encounter many difficulties in your present pursuits and that your sweetheart will not marry you. 9, 31.

LEAVES. To dream you see leaves growing freshly on a tree or plant, is a good sign, and shows you will live long and be happy; but to see leaves wither and fall to the ground, is a sign of sickness and death. 47, 21.

LEGS. To dream of thick and fat legs is a bad omen, as it foreshadows sickness: thin, spindleshank legs are excellent ones to dream about, as they denote a successful race with fortune. It is not to be supposed that a lover will ever dream of his sweetheart’s legs, but if he should do so, he will probably imagine them to be round, plump, and of an alabaster whiteness; this is a bad dream, and he should by all means avoid thinking of her legs when he goes to sleep: if a lady dreams that her lover’s legs are thin, it foretells that he will be a rich man. 48, 5.

LEMONS. To dream of lemons denotes contentions in your family and uneasiness on account of children; they announce the death of some relation and disappointment in love. 22.

LEOPARD. To dream of this animal, signifies that you have many false friends, who are endeavoring to ruin you, it also betokens family quarrels and domestic unhappiness. 24, 76.

LETTERS. These paper missives are good to dream about: if you dream you receive a great number of letters, it foretells that honors await you: to receive one letter in your dream, denotes that some one is praising you behind your back. If a girl dreams that she receives a love-letter from her beau, it shows that he adores her: a gentleman who has a similar dream of a letter from his sweetheart, may rest satisfied that he only possesses her heart. 28, 54, 1.

LETTER CARRIER. To dream of a letter carrier, indicates you will hear from an absent one whom you love. 18, 50.

LETTUCE. To dream of eating lettuce, is a sign of health and happiness, provided that it looks green and nice, and tastes good; wilted or wormy lettuce shadows forth vexation and trouble. 47, 6.
