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

INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS. 31 Firs. When a man dreams of fire, or that he sees fire, it signifies the issue of his choler ; and commonly they that dream of fire, are active, choleric and furious ; a man that dreams he is burnt by fire, a violent fever is prognosticated thereby. Fire-Brands. To dream you hold fire-brands and torches by night, is good especially to young folks; but to see another hold one is ill to those that would be secret. Fish. If any one dreams he sees or catches large fish, it denotes profit. To dream you see fish of divers colors, denotes to the sick, poison; and to those in health, injuries, contention and grief. To dream you eat great fish denotes melancholy. To dream you find dead fish in the sea denotes vain hopes. A woman with child, that dreams she is delivered of a fish instead of a child, will be delivered of a dead child. To dream of catching small living fish, is a most pernicious dream, and denotes ill to the dreamer. To dream of red fish, denotes to servants and malefactors, torments; to the sick, fevers and inflammation. Fishing. To dream of fishing, shows we shall meet with much trouble and affliction in seeking for something which we desire to gain. Fleas. Dreaming of fleas denotes disquiet. Flesh. If any one dreams he is increased in flesh, he will gain wealth. On the contrary, if he dream he is grown lean and thin, if he be rich, he will grow poor, or at least conceal his wealth, and he will be in a mean condition. To dream of eating all sorts of meat, whether flesh, or fish, signifies either neglect of business, or anger and sickness. Flies. To dream you see a swarm of flies, signifies enemies, and unreasonable persons that will scandalize you. To Fly. For one to dream to fly a little height from the earth, upright, is good. To fly with wings is generally good for all. To servants, it is liberty ; to the poor, riches ; to the rich, office and dignity. To fly very high from the earth, and without wings, is fear and danger. As also to fly over the houses and through the streets and forlorn ways, is trouble and sedition. Floods. To dream of great floods, signifies rigorous judges, angry master, throngs of people, assemblies and noise, by reason of the violence and murmuring thereof; it is good to dream of passing them either on foot or swimming. Flowers. To dream of holding or smelling odoriferous flowers in their season, signifies joy, pleasure and consolation. On the contrary, to dream that you see or smell flowers out of season, if they be white, it signifies obstruction in business
