Dream Dictionary

Dreams are often said to go "by contraries," which will often be found is the case in looking up
the symbols in the Dream Dictionary, and yet it is not a rigid rule, for there are too many
variations from it.

In interpreting a dream for someone it will give a better understanding of the matter if you say,
"To dream of 'a balloon' shows that you are engaged in some profitless work and 'the drum' in it
warns you of danger unless you change your intentions," than if you give only the significance of
each article.

If you do not find the name of the article you are seeking in the Dream Dictionary, try under
some similar name for it. If you are looking for the mean. ing of rifle, look under the general title
of gun.
