QUOITS. If a man dreams he is playing quoits, it is a sign he will soon have a quarrel. If a woman dreams she is playing quoits, it foretells she will have much trouble through life. To dream of quoits, is not a good omen to lovers. 57, 3.
RABBITS. To dream of these animals, foretells many small children: if a newly married woman dreams of them it is a sign that she will have twins or triplets within a year: such a dream will not be very pleasant to a young girl unless she means to marry right sudden, for rabbits do not predict anything else but breeding children. 44, 13.
RACCOON. To dream of simply treeing a raccoon, is a good omen, for you will probably either gain a sum of money, or have it left to you as a legacy: if you imagine that you shoot the animal, and he falls to the ground, this will spoil the luck; you should stop dreaming as soon as the ’coon is up the tree. 61, 12.
RACES. (See [Run].) To dream of running a race on foot and winning it, is a sign of success in any undertaking—losing it, foretells disappointment. If you dream of going to a horse-race, it predicts poverty and shiftlessness. 46, 7.
RADISHES. To dream of this vegetable, signifies that a secret will be discovered, which will occasion a muss in the family. To a girl, it is a sign she will lose her beau, and to a lover, it foreshadows he will be “cut out” by some other nice young man. 38, 13.
RAFFLE. Raffling in your dream is the same as gambling; it foretells poverty and disgrace: to dream of raffling for poultry is a sign that your family (if you have one) will want bread; if you are single, it shows that you will be apt to get seedy and loaferish. 8, 44.
RAFT. To dream of seeing a raft foretells a journey—the longer the raft, the more extensive the line of travel: if you dream of sailing on a raft, it is a sign you will travel, with good success, in distant countries. 10.
RAGE. (See [Anger].) If you dream that you are in a great rage in consequence of a mishap, or disagreeable event, it is a sign that some pleasant episode in connection therewith will occur to put you in an excellent humor, as such dreams work contrariwise. 44, 16.
RAGGED. To dream that your clothes are ragged, indicates that a young girl will banter you: if, in your dream, you see ragged people, it is a sign that you will suffer ridicule at your next meeting with a party of ladies and gentlemen. Rags and ridicule go together in dreams. 19.
RAILROAD. To dream of traveling by railroad, foretells to people who keep house that they will break up their establishment: to young persons it indicates the loss of their home: to lovers it is a sign that if they marry they will not keep house long, if at all. 3, 11, 33.
