SLAUGHTER-HOUSE. To dream of being in an empty slaughter-house, shows that you are in danger, but can avoid it by precaution. To see animals slaughtered is a good sign, if the blood flow freely; if the blood does not flow, you will meet with some accident. 26, 12. SLAVE. To dream that a favorite slave has become ungrateful, and run away, is a sign that some one has been tampering with him or her, but without effect; if, in your dream, you imagine that one of your favorite negroes has been impertinent or neglectful, and is to be flogged, and that you feel bad about it, it shows that some one will try to injure you through the medium of your slaves, and you should therefore look sharp to the characters of white people around. 62, 4. SLEIGH-RIDE. To dream of a sleigh-ride, where the sleighing is good, and the sleigh glides free and noiseless, is an excellent omen, as it foretells success and good fortune generally, particularly to farmers: but if you imagine the sleighing is poor, and that the runners screech on the ground, it foretells trouble and unhappiness. Young men who dream of sleigh-riding with girls, stopping at taverns, drinking, getting the girls boozy, and then performing unnamable pranks, are thus forewarned that they will be poor and shiftless, as such dreams are certain omens of misery and disgrace. 67, 46. SLIDING. (_See Ice._) To dream of sliding on smooth ice, foretells good luck: if a girl dreams that a young man assists her in sliding, and that she enjoys it, she will soon get an agreeable lover: ragged or wet ice, or holes in the ice, foreshadow difficulties. If a girl dreams of falling down on the ice, and that her lover falls with her, and overtops her, they may as well go to the parson at once, and have the knot tied, as it is a sure thing to happen. 4, 28. SMALL-POX. (_See Sores._) To dream that you have this disease, foretells health and good fortune: if a lover should be so ungallant, as to imagine that his sweetheart is thus afflicted, it is a sign that he will marry a great beauty; if she happens to be a beauty, it will be all right, of course; if not, he will look out for number two. 41, 32. SMOCK. (_See Linen._) If a girl dreams that she has a ragged undergarment, it foretells that some rich greenhorn will try to seduce her, and failing, will offer her marriage: if she dreams that she has a good supply of beautiful worked undergarments, it is a sign that she will sigh in vain for a lover; if she imagines that a gentleman gives her a new smock, she will be in danger of losing her chastity. 12. SMOKE. To dream of being in a room full of smoke, foretells that you will engage in an angry controversy, and perhaps quarrel: lovers who dream of smoke, will nose out the fire when they next meet, and it will prove to be either one of anger or of lust. 76, 5.
