SCHOOL. To dream of attending school, is a sign of advancement and good fortune: if you dream of studying, and succeed well, it shadows forth that you will rise to a position in society above your present one: if you find it difficult to learn, you will have trouble in getting along, but will rise at last. 42, 72. SCISSORS. To dream of a pair of scissors, is a sign of a marriage; if a girl dreams of them she will positively be married within a year: to a married woman such a dream is a bad omen, as it denotes some gay seducer will flatter her, and probably succeed in enticing her from the path of virtue. Here is an old prediction in rhyme: 47. To dream of scissors—a full pair, Tells a fair maid that soon she’ll marry; But to a wife it doth declare Her chastity will e’en miscarry! SCOLD. For a man to dream he has a scolding, shrewish wife, is a sign that he will be lucky in everything he undertakes: if a lover dreams that his sweetheart scolds at him, it is a sign that her love is strong and unalterable. 65, 16. SCRATCH. To dream of having your face scratched, is a sign that somebody has been disparaging your good looks: if a girl imagines in her dream that she has scratched herself with a pin, it foretells that scandal is afloat relative to her conduct with her lover, or some other gentleman. 3. SCREW. To dream of a small screw, is a good sign, and indicates success in all you undertake; but to dream of a large bed-screw portends trouble brought about by love affairs. 4, 11, 44. SCYTHE. (_See Husbandry._) SEA. To dream of going to sea in a ship or steamer, is a sign that you will be fortunate in money matters: storms and perils at sea foretell difficulties which may be overcome: if you dream you are seasick, it denotes continued health. If a girl dreams of going to sea, and having a pleasant voyage, she will marry rich, and love her husband; but storms and perils point to quarrels with him. 6. SECRET. If a young girl dreams that a friend has intrusted her with an important secret, it is a sign that the friend will become her enemy: if her lover tells her a secret, they will surely quarrel within a week; if she dreams of disclosing a secret to a friend, she will be much vexed at some scandal that is afloat respecting her. 4, 2, 8. SEDUCER. If a young woman dreams that her lover’s conduct is that of a gay seducer, she will find him to be very sincere in his attachment: a married woman who dreams that she is over-persuaded by a seducer to yield to his desires, will come to much honor, as such dreams work contrariwise. If a man dreams of seducing a virtuous girl, it foreshadows that he will be disgraced. 35, 8. SEGAR. (_See Tobacco._) To dream you are smoking a segar, is a sign you will have misfortunes and troubles with your business matters: if you imagine the fire of your segar goes out, it is a sign you will meet with losses: in love matters this dream is a bad omen. 49, 7, 9.
