Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted; Or, What's in a Dream: A Scientific and Practical Exposition

Is favorable to persons engaged in mental work. To see a breakfast
of fresh milk and eggs and a well filled dish of ripe fruit,
indicates hasty, but favorable changes.
If you are eating alone, it means you will fall into your enemies' trap.
If you are eating with others it is good.
[25] See Meals.
_Breath_.
To come close to a person in your dreaming with a pure and sweet breath,
commendable will be your conduct, and a profitable consummation of business
deals will follow.
Breath if fetid, indicates sickness and snares.
Losing one's breath, denotes signal failure where success seemed assured.
_Brewing_.
To dream of being in a vast brewing establishment, means unjust
persecution by public officials, but you will eventually prove
your innocence and will rise far above your persecutors.
Brewing in any way in your dreams, denotes anxiety at the outset,
but usually ends in profit and satisfaction.
_Briars_.
To see yourself caught among briars, black enemies are weaving cords of
calumny and perjury intricately around you and will cause you great distress,
but if you succeed in disengaging yourself from the briars, loyal friends
will come to your assistance in every emergency.
_Brick_.
Brick in a dream, indicates unsettled business and disagreements
in love affairs. To make them you will doubtless fail in your
efforts to amass great wealth.
_Bride_.[26]
For a young woman to dream that she is a bride, foretells that
she will shortly come into an inheritance which will please
her exceedingly, if she is pleased in making her bridal toilet.
If displeasure is felt she will suffer disappointments
in her anticipations.
To dream that you kiss a bride, denotes a happy reconciliation
between friends. For a bride to kiss others, foretells for you many
friends and pleasures; to kiss you, denotes you will enjoy health
and find that your sweetheart will inherit unexpected fortune.
To kiss a bride and find that she looks careworn and ill,
denotes you will be displeased with your success and the action
of your friends.
If a bride dreams that she is indifferent to her husband, it foretells
that many unhappy circumstances will pollute her pleasures.
[26] See Wedding.
_Bridge_.
To see a long bridge dilapidated, and mysteriously winding
into darkness, profound melancholy over the loss of dearest
possessions and dismal situations will fall upon you.
To the young and those in love, disappointment in the heart's
fondest hopes, as the loved one will fall below your ideal.
To cross a bridge safely, a final surmounting of difficulties,
though the means seem hardly safe to use. Any obstacle
or delay denotes disaster.
To see a bridge give way before you, beware of treachery and false admirers.
Affluence comes with clear waters. Sorrowful returns of best efforts are
experienced after looking upon or coming in contact with muddy or turbid
water in dreams.
