36 INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS. Hunting. To dream that you are hunting a fox, and that ho is killed, shows much trouble through the pretensions of false friends, but that you will discover them and overcome all their machinations : if you are hunting a hare, it is indicative of bad success, you will be disappointed in your favorite object, be it what it may : hunting a stag, if he is caught alive, denotes good to the dreamer, and that he will be successful in all his present undertakings. Husbandman. To see yourself become a husbandman in your dream, shows you shall meet with great toil. Husbandry. There is also good judgment to be made of dreams of the utensils used in husbandry. Thus to dream of a plough, is good for marriages, procreations, and affairs; but requireth time. To dream of the yoke is good, but not to servants. To dream of the scythe is hurt. The saw signifies the woman and her profit. The coulter of the plough, the wood, the fan and the sythe, is hurt, departure, and loss. The cart is the loss of him that dreams it. To dream you cut vines, or reap out of time, signifies that your business shall be slackened, until such time as men use to cut vines and mow. Sheaves of corn, or such like grain are also a hindrance ; for this is not ready meat. Holes in the earth, where grain is sowed, signify the wife, the life, and the goods of him who has it. Hedges, pales, ditches, are ill; yet to such as are in fear, they signify surety; they hinder travelling, but in other affairs signify aid, friends, and support in necessity. Hymn. To dream you sing a hymn or psalm, signifies hindrance of business. Ice. Denotes a good harvest to husbandmen ; and that the earth will abound in all things; to merchants, and other men of employment, it signifies hindrance in their negotiations and voyages; and to soldiers, that their designs will be frustrated. Infernal Things. If any one dream that he sees the devil, or any other infernal spirits or representations, it is a very bad dream, bringing along with it, to them that are sick, death ; and to the healthful, melancholy, anger, tumults, and violent sickness. Jollity. To dream of jollity, feasts and merry-making, is a good and prosperous dream, and promiseth to the dreamer great preferment. Joy. T® dream of joy and festivals by night is good for «uch as would marry, or make marriages, and for such as seek company ; to the poor it is a sign of good ; to the sad and fearful, an end of heaviness and fear.
