SHOES. (_See Boots._) If you dream that one of your shoes has a hole in it, it foretells that your sweetheart will offend you by favoring a supposed rival: if a girl dreams this, her lover will be jealous of her: for a young man to dream that he has lost a shoe-string, is a sign that he will be kissed by a lady with whom he had no previous acquaintance. 33. SHROUD. (_See Corpse._) To dream of a shroud is a sign of a wedding: to see, in your dream, a woman laid out in her shroud, foretells to a young person that he or she will either be present at a marriage, or will become a victim of Cupid’s archery. 39, 11. SICKNESS. (_See Disease._) If you dream you have had a long sickness, and are recovering, it foretells bad luck and difficulties: should you imagine that you are sick and are going to die, the omen is the reverse, for some good fortune awaits you: if a girl dreams that she is sick abed, and her lover visits her, it foretells a smooth courtship and happy marriage. 2. SILKS. For a lady to dream of silks and satins, and that she is having fine dresses made of those fabrics, foretells poverty and want: if she imagines that she is presented with a plain cheap dress, and is pleased with the present, it is a sign she will have some excellent luck; but if she dislikes it, it shows that she will refuse an offer that will cause her after regrets. 8, 7, 56. SILVER. (_See Metals._) SINGING. To dream of singing solemn music in a choir, is a sign of the death of a young girl who is your esteemed friend or relative: to lovers, such a dream foretells the loss of sweethearts: if you imagine you are singing some lively tune by yourself, it is a sign of sorrow, though it may not be connected with any death. 34, 18. SINGLE. If a married woman dreams that she is single, and that attentions are being paid to her by a beau, it foretells that her husband has become captivated by a new love, and will probably be false to his vows: the omen is similar to a married man who dreams that he is either a bachelor or widower. 69, 72. SISTER. (_See Brothers._) To dream you see your sister denotes a speedy death in your family, and that the dreamer will be long-lived: if you are in love, it is a favorable omen. 24, 8. SKATING. To dream of skating over smooth ice, and gliding along without much effort, is a sign of success and good luck: if you are skating with ladies, it foretells that your love matters will go smoothly; if the ice be broken or lumpy, it denotes difficulties; and if you imagine you fall down, you will probably experience a misfortune or have great trouble. 4, 7, 28. SKY. A clear sky denotes a marriage, speedy, and happy; a red sky, increase of wealth; if you ascend into the sky, you may look for much honor; a cloudy sky shows misfortune. 2, 11, 24.
