Wasp

Wasps, if seen in dreams, denotes that enemies will scourge

where promise of success was bright before you.

To dream of wasting your fortune, denotes you will be unpleasantly
encumbered with domestic cares.

Watch

well-directed speculations. To look at the time of one,
your efforts will be defeated by rivalry. To break one,
there will be distress and loss menacing you.

To drop the crystal of one, foretells carelessness,
or unpleasant companionship. For a woman to lose one,

attack your reputation.

To make a present of one, denotes you will suffer your interest

occupy Pleasure's seat.

The same may be applied to muddy water rising in vessels.

To fall into muddy water, is a sign that you will make many bitter mistakes,
and will suffer poignant grief therefrom.

To drink muddy water, portends sickness, but drinking it clear
and refreshing brings favorable consummation of fair hopes.

To sport with water, denotes a sudden awakening to love and passion.

To have it sprayed on your head, denotes that your passionate
awakening to love will meet reciprocal consummation.

The following dream and its allegorical occurrence in actual life
is related by a young woman student of dreams:

``Without knowing how, I was (in my dream) on a boat,
I waded through clear blue water to a wharfboat, which I found
to be snow white, but rough and splintry. The next evening I
had a delightful male caller, but he remained beyond the time
prescribed by mothers and I was severely censured for it.''
The blue water and fairy white boat were the disappointing
prospects in the symbol.

Water-carrier

To see water-carriers passing in your dreams, denotes that your
prospects will be favorable in fortune, and love will prove
no laggard in your chase for pleasure.

and fortune will be exceedingly favorable to your progress.

which will evolve much knowledge if the waves are clear; but you will make
a fatal error if you see them muddy or lashed by a storm.

Wax Taper

To dream of lighting wax tapers, denotes that some pleasing occurrence
will bring you into association with friends long absent.

expected opportunities of meeting distinguished friends.

will energetically nerve yourself to meet the problems of life
with that force which compells success.

and displeasure. If the web is non-elastic, you will remain firm

to obtain favors from you.

Wedding[243]

To attend a wedding in your dream, you will speedily find
that there is approaching you an occasion which will cause you
bitterness and delayed success.

For a young woman to dream that her wedding is a secret is decidedly
unfavorable to character. It imports her probable downfall.

If she contracts a worldly, or approved marriage, signifies she
will rise in the estimation of those about her, and anticipated
promises and joys will not be withheld.

If she thinks in her dream that there are parental objections,
she will find that her engagement will create dissatisfaction
among her relatives. For her to dream her lover weds another,
foretells that she will be distressed with needless fears,
as her lover will faithfully carry out his promises.

For a person to dream of being wedded, is a sad augury, as death will
only be eluded by a miracle. If the wedding is a gay one and there
are no ashen, pale-faced or black-robed ministers enjoining solemn vows,
the reverses may be expected.

For a young woman to dream that she sees some one at her wedding dressed
in mourning, denotes she will only have unhappiness in her married life.
If at another's wedding, she will be grieved over the unfavorable fortune
of some relative or friend. She may experience displeasure or illness
where she expected happiness and health. The pleasure trips of others
or her own, after this dream, may be greatly disturbed by unpleasant
intrusions or surprises.

foretells that she will be shielded from cares and infidelity.

denotes that you will hold your vows lightly and will court illicit pleasure.

arrangements which will be the cause of your separation from relatives.

will be unfortunately implicated in a disagreeable affair.

her strength and feelings against disappointment and grief.
