Here are the meanings of
ten common dreams that people
have:
Being Chased or Attacked
To dream that you engage in
a fight, denotes that you
will have unpleasant encounters
with your business opponents,
and law suits threaten you.
To see fighting, denotes
that you are squandering your
time and money. For women,
this dream is a warning against
slander and gossip.
For a young woman to see
her lover fighting, is a sign
of his unworthiness. To dream
that you are defeated in a
fight, signifies that you
will lose your right to property.
To whip your assailant, denotes
that you will, by courage
and perseverance, win honor
and wealth in spite of opposition.
To dream that you see two
men fighting with pistols,
denotes many worries and perplexities,
while no real loss is involved
in the dream, yet but small
profit is predicted and some
unpleasantness is denoted.
Wind To dream of the wind
blowing softly and sadly upon
you, signifies that great
fortune will come to you through
bereavement.
If you hear the wind soughing,
denotes that you will wander
in estrangement from one whose
life is empty without you.
To walk briskly against a
brisk wind, foretells that
you will courageously resist
temptation and pursue fortune
with a determination not easily
put aside. For the wind to
blow you along against your
wishes, portends failure in
business undertakings and
disappointments in love. If
the wind blows you in the
direction you wish to go you
will find unexpected and helpful
allies, or that you have natural
advantages over a rival or
competitor.

being raised for you to ascend
to some height, your energetic
and nervy qualifications will

transactions to the tradesman,
and blasted crops to the farmer.

in business, and unrequited
desires.

or confinement, by means of
a ladder, you will be successful,
though many perilous paths
may intervene.

a ladder, denotes that you

and domineering in your newly
acquired position.

home, you will have good news

denotes that you have sought
illicit pleasure contrary
to your noblest instincts
and are desirous of abandoning
those desires.
For a young woman to dream

foretells that she will win,
but not hold honest men's
regard. She will win fortune
by her charms. If she thinks
herself ill-formed, her reputation
will be sullied by scandal.
If she dreams of swimming
in clear water naked, she
will enjoy illicit loves,
but nature will revenge herself
by sickness, or loss of charms.
