Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted; Or, What's in a Dream: A Scientific and Practical Exposition
John Stuart Mill · en
This dream denotes that one's home and country are in danger
of foreign intrusion, from which our youth will suffer from
the perils of war.
For a young woman to hear or see cannons, denotes she will be a soldier's wife
and will have to bid him godspeed as he marches in defense of her and honor.
The reader will have to interpret dreams of this character
by the influences surrounding him, and by the experiences stored
away in his subjective mind. If you have thought about cannons
a great deal and you dream of them when there is no war, they are
most likely to warn you against struggle and probable defeat.
Or if business is manipulated by yourself successful engagements
after much worry and ill luck may ensue.
_Cannon-Ball_.
This means that secret enemies are uniting against you. For a maid
to see a cannon-ball, denotes that she will have a soldier sweetheart.
For a youth to see a cannon-ball, denotes that he will be called upon
to defend his country.
_Canoe_.
To paddle a canoe on a calm stream, denotes your perfect confidence
in your own ability to conduct your business in a profitable way.
To row with a sweetheart, means an early marriage and fidelity.
To row on rough waters you will have to tame a shrew before you
attain connubial bliss. Affairs in the business world will
prove disappointing after you dream of rowing in muddy waters.
If the waters are shallow and swift, a hasty courtship or stolen pleasures,
from which there can be no lasting good, are indicated.
Shallow, clear and calm waters in rowing, signifies happiness
of a pleasing character, but of short duration.
Water is typical of futurity in the dream realms. If a pleasant immediate
future awaits the dreamer he will come in close proximity with clear water.
Or if he emerges from disturbed watery elements into waking life the near
future is filled with crosses for him.
_Candy_.
To dream of making candy, denotes profit accruing from industry.
To dream of eating crisp, new candy, implies social
pleasures and much love-making among the young and old.
Sour candy is a sign of illness or that disgusting annoyances
will grow out of confidences too long kept.
To receive a box of bonbons, signifies to a young person
that he or she will be the recipient of much adulation.
It generally means prosperity. If you send a box you will make
a proposition, but will meet with disappointment.
_Canopy_.
To dream of a canopy or of being beneath one, denotes that false
friends are influencing you to undesirable ways of securing gain.
You will do well to protect those in your care.
_Cap_.
For a woman to dream of seeing a cap, she will be invited to take
part in some festivity.
For a girl to dream that she sees her sweetheart with a cap on,
denotes that she will be bashful and shy in his presence.
To see a prisoner's cap, denotes that your courage is failing
you in time of danger.
To see a miner's cap, you will inherit a substantial competency.
_Captive_.
