Darkness.--To dream you are in a very dark place, or that you are in the dark, is a very unfavorable omen; to the lover, it denotes the loss of your sweetheart; to the trader, loss by debts, business; to the farmer, bad crops; to the sailor, shipwreck and misfortune. To dream you get out of darkness into light denotes good to the dreamer; if you are in poverty, you will rise to riches and honor; if you are in love, it denotes a happy marriage and many children, with an industrious husband or wife; expect also to hear some glad tidings from a far distant country. Earthquake.--To dream of an earthquake warns you that your affairs are about to take a very great change; if you see many houses tumbled into ruins, then it will be much for the better; should the houses appear to stand, then for the worse; for the lover, it foretells that your sweetheart is about to take a journey, and that it is a chance if you ever see each other again. Eating.--To dream you are eating is a very unfavorable omen; it portends disunion amongst your family, losses in trade, and disappointment in love. To see others eating is of a contrary tendency, and foretells success in all your present enterprises; that your sweetheart is kind and faithful, and if you marry the present object of your affections that you will grow rich, be happy and have dutiful children. Fall.--To dream you fall from any very high place, or from a tree, denotes loss of place and goods; if you are in love, it surely indicates that you will never marry the present object of your affections; to the tradesman, it denotes a decline of business, and to the sailor, storms and shipwreck. Fighting.--To dream you are fighting denotes to the lover that you will lose the object of your affections through a foolish quarrel; it also forebodes much opposition to your wishes, with loss of character and property. After such a dream you should leave your present situation, because such a dream indicates that you will not prosper in it; to the sailor it denotes storms and shipwreck, with disappointment in love. Fire.--To dream of this subtle element denotes health and happiness to the lover, marriage with the object of your affections, and many children; you will be very angry with some one on a trifling occasion. Burning lights descending, as it were from heaven, are a very bad sign; it portends some dreadful accident--having your brains dashed out, breaking your legs, getting into prison, or other strange accidents; to the lover it also denotes the loss of the affections of your sweetheart; to the tradesman bad fortune in business. To dream that you are burnt by fire denotes great danger, and that enemies will injure you.
