ABACUS

A portent of financial improvement through careful attention to details and thorough, painstaking work.  Seen in operation as a child’s toy, it foretells success in any business deal that may be pending.

ABALONE

To eat this shellfish in a dream foretells an unusual experience.  Whether this will be pleasant or otherwise will depend on whether or not the abalone has a pleasing flavour.  A dream of the highly coloured, iridescent inside of an abalone shell is a warning to be on your guard against jealous acquaintances.

ABANDONMENT

There are three ways of interpreting this dream, since it may have three aspects - active, as when you abandon someone; passive, as when someone abandons you; and objective, as when you see or hear of someone else’s abandonment.

Active.  To dream of abandoning evil companions, or of ceasing from a nefarious enterprise, predicts an increase in income.  If in your dream you abandon your wife, husband, children or sweetheart, it portends trouble of a serious nature.

Passive.  If you dream of being abandoned by someone for whom you have friendship or affection, it is a prophecy of illness in your circle of near relatives.

Objective.  If in a dream you are a witness to the abandonment of a person of either sex or any age, you will be the recipient of news that will have a profound influence on your life.

ABASEMENT

To dream of being abased or humiliated warns one against boasting of his physical of mental prowess.  One who is shamed by a superior will profit by the dream if it stimulates him to rise above his shortcomings, but if the abasement comes from a child or person of low degree, the import of the dream is distinctly unfavourable.

ABBESS

If you see an abbess in your dream, the future will be bright, particularly so if she smiles at you.

ABBEY

In the sunlight, an abbey is propitious for the dreamer if seen from the outside.  In gloom or at night it portends sadness and failure.

ABBOT

Long days of suffering are predicted if you dream of meeting and talking with the abbot of a monastery.  If he speaks with a pronounced foreign accent, the augury is of having to be continually on the move.  If his voice is high-pitched and he is an excitable person, you will have to make amends for a wrong you have done.

ABBREVIATION

To dream of seeing words abbreviated or hearing a person speak in abbreviations - such as N.Y. for New York, Mass. for Massachusetts, mon. for money, etc. - is to look forward to the loss of friends or income.

ABDICATION

Kings or queens abdicating portend achievement in social fields.

ABDOMEN

This is a fortunate omen in a dream when seen by itself; it predicts prosperity in every case where the abdomen is part of a living person.  A pain in the abdomen foretells a long period of good health.

ABDUCTION

If you have a dream of being abducted, you will succeed in any new enterprise, whether business or social.

ABHORRENCE

To dream of feeling abhorrence of loathing of persons or things is a presage of danger from an unknown source.

ABILITY

A dream in which you own ability is recognized, even by yourself, points toward such achievement that will give you great happiness.  If the dream is one in which you are impressed by the ability of someone else, you will receive a small sum of money.

ABJECTNESS

If you dream of a person who approaches you abjectly and you receive him or her with cordiality, you will be called upon to fill a new position at a much higher rate of remuneration.

ABLUTION

(See Bath)

ABRASION

The scraping of skin off a finger or other part of the body, or the scratching of leather from a new pair of shoes or handbag predicts a succession of petty irritations.

ABSALOM

A dream of this Biblical character or of anyone who, like him, is caught by the hair in the limb of a tree, warns of approaching danger that may be avoided only by the greatest care.

ABSCESS

Do not engage in any enterprise involving real estate or securities if you dream of having an abscess.  If someone else has it, such an affliction is an indication of a change of scene.

If in a dream you notice particularly the absence of a friend or one of the family who would normally be present, you are likely to receive disquieting news from someone a long distance away.

ACCELERATOR

Increasing the speed of an automobile by pressing on the accelerator is an indication that by continued and sustained effort you will achieve the goal you have set for yourself.  If in your dream you cannot remove your foot from the accelerator, you should regard it as a warning against vices such as gambling and drinking.

ACCEPTANCE

When a person hands you money or something else of value in a dream, your acceptance is an omen of success in love or business.  Your refusal means exactly the opposite.  If you accept counterfeit money, you are in grave danger.

ACCIDENT

Take warning from an accident dream, and if possible avoid the thing that figures in the accident.  Thus, if you dream of an automobile crash, do not ride in a car for 24 hours, and be additionally careful in crossing the streets.  Shun airplanes, trains and horse-drawn vehicles if the dream accident pertained to them.  Avoid sharp knives or pointed instruments if you dream of cutting yourself, and if you dream of falling, watch your step.

ACCOUNTS

A woman who dreams of keeping accounts, household or otherwise, will suffer through the indifference of her lover, but a happy outcome may be expected if her accounts appear to be straight.  Men or women who dream of being bookkeepers and of having difficulty in calculating and balancing will go through a period of strenuous difficulty.  To dream of correctly balancing accounts at the first trial points definitely to a profitable business deal.

The sour, vinegar-like odour of this acid portends a disagreeable experience with someone of the opposite sex.
