Human Physiognomy : or the Art of Discerning the Mental and Moral Character of Man

36 INTERPRETATION OP DREAMS. Clouds. To dream of white clouds, signifies prosperity; clouds mounting high from the earth, denotes voyages, the return of the absent, and revealing secrets. Clouds red and inflamed, shows an ill issue ; to dream of smoky, dark, or obscure clouds, shows an ill time or anger. Coach. To dream of riding in a coach, signifies that the party so dreaming shall love idleness, is given to pride, and shall die a beggar. To dream of coming out of a coach, signifies being degraded from great honor, and coming into disgrace upon a criminal account. Coals. To dream you see dead coals, signifies expedition in business ; and to dream you see burning coals, threatens you with shame and reproach. Coal-pit. To dream of being in the bottom of coal pits, signifies marrying with a widow ; for he that marries her shall never sound the depth of her policies. As Mr. Weller very pathetically said to his son—“ One vidder, Samivel, is more cunning than, 1 b’leeve they say, five-and-twenty common wim- nien, and I won’t be right certain it ain’t thirty.” Cock. To dream you see a cock in a house is a good sign to those who would marry. To hear a cock crow denotes great prosperity. Coffin. To dream of one denotes the death of a friend or some near relation. Comedy. To dream you see a comedy, farce, or some other recreation, signifies good success in business. Comets. To dream you see a comet, or several hairy comets, or other stars with streaming tails, signifies future evil, commotion, trouble, &c. Comfort. To dream you have comforts of any one, betokens to the rich and happy, injury and mishap; but to the poor and afflicted, aid and comfort. Complexion. To dream one sees an unknown person of a brown complexion, is a sign of glory, honor, success, and despatch of business. If one dreams he sees a woman of a very brown complexion, it signifies a very dangerous disease. If you see a woman unknown in your dream with long and comely hair, with clear complexion, it is a very good sign. Corn. To dream that you see com eared, and gather it, signifies profit and riches. To dream that you see stacks of corn, signifies profit and abundance to the dreamer; and on the contrary to see a small quantity, signifies famine and necessity. Corns.
