OVEN. (See [Baking].)

OVERFLOW. (See [Flood].) To dream that a river, or any stream, overflows its banks and surrounds your house with water, is a sign of wealth; that is, you will acquire riches in proportion to the quantity of water around, and the ground it covers: if you fancy that any one is drowned in the water, it foretells a misfortune in connection with your riches. 9, 66, 18.

OWL. To dream of seeing one of these birds of night in a roosting position, is a sign that you will discover an important secret that relates to yourself: to see an owl flying foretells that some secret of your own will get out. 3.

OXEN. (See [Cattle].)

OYSTERS. If, in your dream, you imagine you are eating oysters, it denotes that you will have difficulties relative to money matters: but to rake them out of the water is a sign of money-getting: to dream of opening nice fat oysters for other people to eat is also a favorable omen, as it shows that you will have plenty of cash. 7, 53.

PAINTING. To dream of painting your house is a sign of sickness in the family, but at the same time thrift and good luck in business: if, in your dream, you see a white house newly painted outside, you will probably soon be summoned to attend a funeral: to see any other colored house newly painted, foretells that you will hear of the sickness of a friend or relative: dreaming of beautiful paintings of landscapes, portraits, &c., is an omen of bad luck and poverty. 22, 11, 5.

PALL-BEARER. For a man to dream that he is a pall-bearer at a funeral, denotes that he will be married within a year: to dream of seeing pall-bearers, is a sign you will be invited to a wedding. 49, 6.

PANCAKE. (See Thick.) For a girl to dream of baking pancakes, is a sign that some gentleman is in love with her; and if a married woman has such a dream, she may be sure that some man, other than her husband, admires her; to dream of eating pancakes, foretells falling in love, to either sex; and if you relish them, you will be successful in your love. 36.

PANTALOONS. If you dream you have a new pair of pantaloons, it is a sign you will be prosperous; if they do not fit, and are too tight, it is a sign you will be pinched in money matters; if they are dark, it is a sign of long life, but if light, it denotes sickness. Young girls should try and not dream about pantaloons, for such an omen is very dangerous to them. 46, 8.

PANTHER. To dream that you see one of these animals, and are terrified by it, shows that you will be disgusted at the ingratitude of a friend you have served: if, in your dream, you see a tame panther, and caress it, it foretells that you have some ungrateful person in your household, (perhaps a servant,) or else a false-hearted friend. 41.
