For a woman to dream that she assents to abortion being committed on her,
is a warning that she is contemplating some enterprise which if carried
out will steep her in disgrace and unhappiness.
For a doctor to dream that he is a party to an abortion,
foretells that his practice will suffer from his inattention
to duty, which will cause much trouble.
_Above_.
To see anything hanging above you, and about to fall, implies danger;
if it falls upon you it may be ruin or sudden disappointment.
If it falls near, but misses you, it is a sign that you will have
a narrow escape from loss of money, or other misfortunes may follow.
Should it be securely fixed above you, so as not to imply danger,
your condition will improve after threatened loss.
_Abroad_.
To dream that you are abroad, or going abroad, foretells that you
will soon, in company with a party, make a pleasant trip, and you
will find it necessary to absent yourself from your native country
for a sojourn in a different climate.
_Absalom_.
To dream of Absalom, is significant of distressing incidents.
You may unconsciously fall a victim to error, and penetrate
some well beloved heart with keen anguish and pain over the
committal of immoral actions and the outraging of innocence.
No flower of purity will ever be too sacred for you to breathe
a passionate breath upon. To dream of this, or any other
disobedient character, is a warning against immoral tendencies.
A father is warned by this dream to be careful of his children.
_Absence_.
To grieve over the absence of any one in your dreams, denotes that repentance
for some hasty action will be the means of securing you life-long friendships.
If you rejoice over the absence of friends, it denotes that you
will soon be well rid of an enemy.
_Abscess_.
To dream that you have an abscess which seems to have reached a chronic stage,
you will be overwhelmed with misfortune of your own; at the same time your
deepest sympathies will be enlisted for the sorrows of others.
_Absinthe_.
To come under the influence of absinthe in dreams, denotes that you
will lead a merry and foolish pace with innocent companions, and waste
your inheritance in prodigal lavishness on the siren, selfish fancy.
For a young woman to dream that she drinks absinthe with her lover warns
her to resist his persuasions to illicit consummation of their love. If she
dreams she is drunk, she will yield up her favors without strong persuasion.
(This dream typifies that you are likely to waste your energies in pleasure.)
_Abundance_.
To dream that you are possessed with an abundance;
foretells that you will have no occasion to reproach Fortune,
and that you will be independent of her future favors;
but your domestic happiness may suffer a collapse under the strain
you are likely to put upon it by your infidelity.
_Abuse_.
