RUST. To dream of rust is a bad omen: rusty knives, or tools of any kind, denote the destruction of property: rusty pails or utensils are so many signs of poverty. 54. RYE. To dream of this grain is a sign you will be fortunate in money matters; it also foretells success in love affairs: to the married it foreshadows domestic happiness. 69. SAFFRON. To dream of gathering saffron, or of drinking a decoction of the herb, is a sign of health and wealth: if the flowers that you gather look clear and healthy, it foretells that you will get just so much gold. 19, 24. SAILING. To dream of fair sailing on clear water, is an excellent omen, as it foretells abundance and success: heavy winds that endanger your boat, or muddy waters, point out difficulties which will probably be overcome. (_See Boat, Yacht and Ship._) 20. SAUSAGES. To dream of eating fried sausages, foretells that you will come in contact with some person who is very poor, and will be disagreeable to you: a girl who dreams this, will be very sure to get a shiftless and needy lover, and perhaps marry him if she is in much of a hurry to get married. 38, 16. SAWING. To dream of sawing wood, or boards, foretells that you will do something that you will afterwards regret: if a young fellow dreams this, he will probably offer some indignity to his sweetheart, which he will find it hard work to get overlooked. 3, 17, 55. SCAFFOLD. To dream of going upon a high scaffold, shows that you will rise in the world: if, in your dream, you imagine that you fall from a scaffold, or from any high place, it shadows forth a misfortune that will make you poorer: a girl who dreams of climbing upon a scaffold, will positively marry a rich man, or one of distinction, who is far above her in position. 33, 7. SCALDED. To dream of being scalded with hot water, is usually a sign of injuries by the elements; it may foretell losses by floods, by fire, or by winds, or by thunder-storms: if you dream of scalding your tongue with hot tea, it is a sign that you will scandalize a neighbor with some ill-natured remark. 3, 12, 36. SCALES. To dream you are weighing any article, is a good omen, and signifies that you will be happy and long-lived; but to dream you see another using the scales, is a sign you will be ruined by law-suits. 68, 40. SCARCITY. To dream of a scarcity of anything is a sign that some of the article dreamed about is on its way to you; as if a farmer were to dream of a scarcity of hay, it shows that his next hay crop will be very abundant; or, if a girl should dream of a scarcity of compliments, she will probably be overwhelmed by them from gentlemen, when she next goes into company. 27, 9.
