ALMONDS. Signify riches and happiness; to eat them shows you will have good luck in love matters. 73, 18, 10.
ALMS. To dream they are begged of you, and you refuse them, shows want and misery to the dreamer; but to dream you give them freely, is a sign of joy and long life. 11, 13, 4.
ALTAR. To dream of an altar, betokens gladness, and affection in love. Of an _Ark_, the same. 71, 63, 4.
ANCHOR. To dream you see one, signifies unexpected success in love; but in business, it shows the success to be distant, and only obtainable with care. 47, 36.
ANGEL. To dream you see angels in your sleep, is a sign some are near you, and that the rest of your dream will come to pass. To see many angels, is a sign of many children, and much prosperity. 16, 8, 24.
ANGER. (_See Rage._) To dream that you have been provoked to anger, shows that you have powerful enemies; and warns you to be careful that all you do should be strictly honorable; but it also signifies you will hear good news, and be in a good humor. 44, 16.
ANTS. To dream of ants, is unlucky; and to dream too often of them, shows the dreamer not to be long lived. 7, 49, 20.
APES. (_See Monkey._) To dream you have seen or had any thing to do with them, signifies malicious, though secret enemies; and warns you against carrying on law-suits. 17, 6.
APPARITION. To dream you see an apparition or spirit, clothed in white, signifies deceit, temptation to sin, and disappointment in love. 57.
The following is an old prediction in verse:
To dream of seeing strange apparitions, As devils, hobgoblins, and such visions, Does show thy love, or thy sweetheart, Hath a fair face, but devil’s heart.
APPAREL. (_See Silks and Satins._) To dream that your clothes are good, denotes prosperity and happiness; of white apparel, is good only for clergymen; to others it is a sign of trouble; to mechanics, decline of business; to the sick, death. If of black, however, it is of their recovery; of rich scarlet apparel, is good for rich men, signifying honor; but is death to the sick, and loss or captivity to the poor; to dream of women’s apparel, is good for the unmarried; but to a married man loss of his wife or sickness. 17, 20.
APPLES, or APPLE-TREES. (_See Orchard._) If sweet, denote joy and pleasure, especially to women and maids. Sour apples signify contention and sedition. 4, 11, 44.
