[177] See Harlot.
Publican.
To dream of a publican, denotes that you will have your sympathies aroused by some one in a desperate condition, and you will diminish your own gain for his advancement. To a young woman, this dream brings a worthy lover; but because of his homeliness she will trample on his feelings unnecessarily.
Publisher.
To dream of a publisher, foretells long journeys and aspirations to the literary craft.
If a woman dreams that her husband is a publisher, she will be jealous of more than one woman of his acquaintance, and spicy scenes will ensue.
For a publisher to reject your manuscript, denotes that you will
suffer disappointment at the miscarriage of cherished designs.
If he accepts it, you will rejoice in the full fruition of your hopes.
If he loses it, you will suffer evil at the hands of strangers.
Puddings.
To dream of puddings, denotes small returns from large investments, if you only see it.
To eat it, is proof that your affairs will be disappointing.
