PUMP. Dreaming of a pump is an excellent omen: if you dream of pumping clear water from one, it shows that you will have good luck in business, or in a speculation: pumping dirty water is a sign of sickness. 29, 4, 20. PUNCH. To dream of making this beverage, or of drinking it, is a sign of poverty or disgrace; if a girl dreams that her lover treats her to punch, she had better discard him at once, as he will undoubtedly turn out to be a poor and shiftless fellow. 19, 32. PUNISHMENT. (_See Stick._) To dream of punishing a child, foretells good fortune to the victim, and honors to yourself. For any one to dream of being punished by whipping, is a sign they will rise in the world, or be honored for some act. 7. PURSE. To dream of finding an empty purse, shadows forth disappointment; if the purse has plenty of money in it, your luck will be excellent—the more money, the better fortune: if it has in it large gold pieces, or large bills, you will become rich either by marriage or inheritance. 78. PUTTY. To dream of putty, is a sign of poverty: puttying up holes foretells losses—the larger the hole, the more extensive the loss. If you are putting glass into a window with putty, it foretells that you will soon remove into a meaner place than you now occupy. 6, 4. PUZZLE. To dream of bothering your brains with a puzzle, foretells frivolity; if you succeed, you will do something that works to your disadvantage: if you imagine that the puzzle puzzles you, it is a sign that some silly person will do you an unintentional injury. 21, 17. QUAIL. To dream of these birds is a good omen: if you imagine you see young quail feeding, it is a sign of thrift, particularly to farmers: to be successful in shooting them in the proper season, also foretells good luck and success in any undertaking. 76, 14. QUAKER. To dream of business intercourse with genuine broad-brims, is a sign you will make a bad bargain. If, in your dream, you see a concourse of quakers, it foretells that you will not be fortunate in business matters. This omen is supposed to be predicated on the fact that the Quakers monopolize all the good chances when they are around. 24, 30. QUARREL. To dream of quarreling with a stranger, is a sign you will make a new friend or acquaintance; if you imagine that you quarrel with a friend, it shows that you will soon have a pleasant and agreeable time with him: lovers who dream of quarrels, will be apt to bill and coo harder than ever. 2, 12, 24. QUEEN. For a man to dream of seeing a queen, foretells the loss of money, either by robbery or bad debts: if he is presented to a queen, the dream is still worse in respect to losses. 39, 60. QUICKSILVER. (_See Metals._) QUILTING. If a lady dreams of going to a quilting party, it foretells for her and her family thrift and good luck: gentlemen, who dream of being much entertained at such a party, will have the very best success in love matters. 71, 54.
