STILLBORN. If a woman dreams that she gives birth to a stillborn child, it foretells that her next child will be an uncommon bright one: a childless woman who dreams this, will realize her fondest hopes. 49, 77. STING. To dream of being stung by a bee or wasp, foretells an injury by unjust and scandalous reports: a young lady who dreams that a bee stings her, will probably have her chastity questioned. 64, 18. STOCKINGS. To dream of cotton-stockings, foretells moderate happiness; of silk, poverty. To take them off, denotes the reception of money. Stockings with holes in them, signify the loss of property. 47, 71. STORM. (_See Rain, Hail and Snow._) To dream of a devastating storm, foretells losses and trouble: a violent rain-storm denotes that you will have good luck, but that misfortunes will nevertheless injure your prospects: gentle showers promise the luck without the adverse omen. 21, 72. STOVE. To dream of a stove is a sign of wealth, if there be a fire in it; but if cold, a sign of poverty. 8, 60. STRANGER. For a girl to dream that she is kissed by a stranger, promises her a new lover: a married woman who dreams this will probably soon present her husband with a stranger in the shape of a new baby, and he will unhappily doubt its paternity. 62, 8. STRAW. To dream of a bundle of straw denotes abundance; if scattered about, poverty. 4, 51, 78. STRAWBERRIES. To dream of this fruit, denotes success in love affairs, and a happy marriage. 39, 78. SUCKLE. (_See Wet-Nurse._) If a married woman dreams of suckling a child, it foretells that she will soon give birth to another; should a bachelor dream of seeing a child suckled, he had better make up his mind that he will soon have a young lady’s board to pay, whether he marries or not; but as the latter would be the better course let him be looking round for a wife at once. A married man who dreams this, will soon become a happy father. 7, 9, 63. SUGAR. To dream of sugar denotes purity: if a lover dreams that his sweetheart presents him with white loaf-sugar, it shows that her affection for him is pure and disinterested; it is therefore a good sign for him to dream of taking tea with her, as she would naturally put such sugar in his tea: to dream of sugar of any kind, or sugar candy, is an excellent omen. 19, 48. An old prediction runs as follows: Dreams of sugar and sweetmeat, Or drinking wine with pleasure great, And all dreams pleasant in condition, Show sports of love, and love’s fruition. SUN. To dream that the sun blinds you, foretells that you will be overwhelmed with good fortune: to see a beautiful bright sun, is a sign of success in anything you may undertake: a red sun denotes mishaps and accidents: if the sun looks dim and smoky, it foreshadows trouble and difficulties. To dream of seeing the sun rise brings good news and luck; the setting sun, misfortune. 2, 10, 20.
