FIGHT. If you dream of being engaged in a fight, it foretells to a man of business that he will soon engage in some new enterprise that will be successful; to a laboring man, it predicts increased pay. 44, 78. FIGURES. Any number above _one_, and below _seventy-eight_, is deemed to portend good fortune to the dreamer, but _forty-nine_ is the most lucky. All numbers above _seventy-eight_ are uncertain, except _three hundred and forty-three_, and that is a very lucky number. 49, 10, 13. FINGERS. To dream that you cut your fingers, if they bleed, is a very good omen; you will be successful in love, and your sweetheart will prove kind and true. 1, 2. FIRE. (_See Burning._) If in your dream, you see a house on fire other than your own, it foretells that some event will happen to make you melancholy and sorrowful, such as the death or ruin of some esteemed friend. If you dream your own house or place of business is burning, it is an omen of good fortune. If you dream of playing with fire, it is a sign of a quarrel in bed. For this dream play your age first. 26. To dream of sitting by the fire, When it is late, doth show desire; But if you sit till the fire’s out, Your love will prove false out of doubt. FIRE-ARMS. (_See Gun, Pistol, and Cannon._) FISH. To dream of catching fish is a sign of excellent good fortune, particularly if you haul up large ones; if the fish fall off your hook, it predicts troublesome fortune. If you dream of fishing without catching any, it shows that you will fail in some undertaking or speculation; and to a lover it is a sign that he will get the mitten. To dream that you see an abundance of fish, foretells the receipt of money, or success in collecting it. 14, 71. FLAG. To dream you see a flag waving, betokens great danger from enemies, or sickness. To dream you carry a flag, signifies you will receive some mark of distinction from your fellow-citizens. If a maid dream she is making a flag, it is a sign she will marry a rich officer in the Army or Navy; but if a married woman has this dream, it foretells the birth of a son who will become a great general. 13, 35, 61. FLEAS. To dream you are tormented with these little insects, is of an unfavorable kind; evil and malicious enemies will do you much injury; your sweetheart will prove false. 45. FLIES. To dream of a swarm of flies, denotes that you have many enemies; it also denotes that your sweetheart is not sincere, and cares but little about you; to dream you kill them is a very good omen; it denotes success in love and trade. 21, 49. FLOOD. (_See Overflow._) To dream of a flood, generally denotes riches and plenty, particularly if the water is calm, it shows that though you may lose something, you will be fortunate in other ways sufficient to counterbalance it. 2, 66, 9. FLOUR. (_See Mill._) To dream that you buy flour is a bad omen, and portends sickness, or the death of a near friend. 41.
