MEANNESS. To dream you are treated in a mean and shabby manner by anybody, is a sign you will have unexpected honors thrust upon you. If a girl dreams that her lover has behaved meanly, she may be sure he will do something to command her admiration. 9, 50, 51. MEASLES. To dream you have this troublesome disorder shows that you will be fortunate, provided you engage in some disreputable or dishonest speculation, or in a robbery of money: but to conscientious people the omen does not hold good. If a girl dreams of having the measles, it predicts that a rogue will make love to her. 33, 4. MEAT. To dream of sweet and wholesome fresh meat is a sign you will be coquetted by a lady, and perhaps fall in love with her; but if the meat is putrid or maggoty, it foreshadows sickness and death. 8, 16. MEDICINE. (_See Physic._) To take medicine foretells poverty, to give any one medicine, gain. 22, 37, 8. MELONS. To dream of ripe, fine looking melons, is an excellent omen, as it foretells good health, good luck, and much happiness. A watermelon full of black seeds denotes so much money to be paid to you. If a married woman dreams this, it promises her many children. 46. METALS. To dream of metals has different signification and interpretations according to the metal you dream of. To enable our readers to more readily discover the meaning of their dreams, we subjoin a list of the metals with their explanations. BRASS. To dream that you see a brass ornament, is a sign your sweetheart will be false to you. To see any one working in brass, or cleaning that metal is a sign you will hear of the death of a distant relative who will leave you a legacy. 43, 11. COPPER. To dream of copper, signifies that your sweetheart is deceitful and loves another, it also shows secret enemies. 54, 8, 40. GOLD. To dream of receiving gold is a good sign, and shows you will be successful in all your undertakings. To dream you pay gold betokens increase of friends. 49, 7. IRON. For one to dream that he is hurt with iron, signifies that he shall receive some damage. 44, 5. LEAD. To dream of lead denotes sickness, but to dream of leaden bullets good news. If you dream you are wounded by a leaden bullet it is a sign you will be successful in love. 49, 50. QUICKSILVER. To dream of this metal is a sign your friends will all be false to you, it is also a sign of losses in property. 49, 19. SILVER. To dream that you are presented with spoons, or any silver plate for household use, foretells that you or some near relative, will shortly marry: if you dream of buying these articles, it is a sign of poverty: to dream of silver dollars, or bars of silver, used in commerce, is a sign that you will gain money either by a legacy or speculation. 49, 6. STEEL. To break a piece in a dream, shows that you will overcome your enemies; if you only touch it, your position in life is secure; if you try to bend it, and cannot, you will meet with many serious accidents. 41, 50.
