OFFICER. (See [Police].) To dream that a military officer is in your company shadows forth beggary and disgrace. If a girl dreams that she has such a person for a lover, she may calculate that her first suitor will be a poor shoat, of no account whatever. 70, 28.
OIL. To dream it is spilled on the floor, signifies damage; to spill it on yourself, profit. 1, 41.
OLD MAN. To dream of seeing a man bowed down with age is a sign of good luck in business, and to a politician it denotes advancement. This is not a good dream for females, for to them it denotes want. 63.
OLD WOMAN. To dream of an aged woman is generally a good omen, as it shadows forth domestic happiness: to a married woman such a dream foretells the birth of a child: to a young girl, that she will have an offer of marriage. 3.
ONIONS. To dream of this vegetable, denotes both good and bad luck: if you are eating them, you will soon receive some money; your sweetheart will be faithful, but cross, and you will be engaged in some dispute; if you are throwing onions away, it is the forerunner of mischief; in love, quarrels; in trade, opposition. 5, 8, 48.
OPERA. To dream of going to the opera is a sign you will travel: if you hear a new singer that delights you, it foretells that you will make a new acquaintance on some journey: if an engaged young lady dreams of the opera, her wedding journey is thus shadowed forth. 27, 55.
OPIUM. To dream of this drug foretells sickness and poverty: if you imagine that you see some one under the influence of opium, and in danger of dying, it foretells a misfortune either to yourself or some near relative. 64.
ORANGE. To dream of having an abundance of oranges, shadows forth that you will get just so much yellow gold: if you dream of eating them, it promises you health: if you give them to friends, it foretells that you will be honored and esteemed: if a girl dreams that her lover presents her with fine-looking oranges, he will undoubtedly bring her a fortune when she marries. 3, 12, 36.
ORCHARD. If, in your dream, you imagine you are in a fine orchard, and the fruit looks fair and tempting, and you eat of it, it foretells that you will shortly be engaged in some pleasant adventure either of love or intrigue: if you see rotten, wormy, or scraggy-looking apples, it shows that you will be thrown into mean and low company, much to your disgrace. Such dreams are bad ones for young girls. 18, 12.
ORGAN. To dream of hearing the solemn and enchanting music of a church organ is a sad omen to young girls, as it foretells their early death: if a gentleman dreams this, it points to the death of some young girl in whom he takes an interest, and perhaps to his sweetheart, if he has one. To imagine you hear some lively tune on a street organ is also a bad omen, as it foretells that you will soon attend a funeral. 55, 3.
