ROWING. To dream of rowing a boat in clear water, is a sign of good luck generally: if the water is muddy, it shows trouble and difficulties which may be overcome; if a lover dreams of rowing a boat with his lady-love in it, he will doubtless make a happy match, 20.

RUDDER. To dream of a broken rudder in a boat or vessel in which you are sailing, foretells that one of the persons who you imagine are in the boat, will be drowned, or come to a sudden death. 27, 75.

RUIN. If you dream that you are looking at old ruins, or castles, or buildings, it is a sign you will travel in distant countries: to dream of the ruins of a house that has been burnt down, foretells that you will experience a loss of property: if, in your dream, you see the ruins of a house that has fallen down, it denotes the death of a friend or acquaintance. 5, 12, 60.

RUN. (See [Race].) To dream of running swift, is a sign of good success in your undertakings; but if you stumble or fall, it denotes accidents or misfortune: if you imagine that you see people run, while you are still, it foretells disappointment. 7.

RUST. To dream of rust is a bad omen: rusty knives, or tools of any kind, denote the destruction of property: rusty pails or utensils are so many signs of poverty. 54.

RYE. To dream of this grain is a sign you will be fortunate in money matters; it also foretells success in love affairs: to the married it foreshadows domestic happiness. 69.

SAFFRON. To dream of gathering saffron, or of drinking a decoction of the herb, is a sign of health and wealth: if the flowers that you gather look clear and healthy, it foretells that you will get just so much gold. 19, 24.

SAILING. To dream of fair sailing on clear water, is an excellent omen, as it foretells abundance and success: heavy winds that endanger your boat, or muddy waters, point out difficulties which will probably be overcome. (See [Boat], [Yacht] and [Ship].) 20.

SAUSAGES. To dream of eating fried sausages, foretells that you will come in contact with some person who is very poor, and will be disagreeable to you: a girl who dreams this, will be very sure to get a shiftless and needy lover, and perhaps marry him if she is in much of a hurry to get married. 38, 16.

SAWING. To dream of sawing wood, or boards, foretells that you will do something that you will afterwards regret: if a young fellow dreams this, he will probably offer some indignity to his sweetheart, which he will find it hard work to get overlooked. 3, 17, 55.
