John Stuart Mill · en
To dream of cross roads, denotes you will be unable to hold
some former favorable opportunity for reaching your desires.
If you are undecided which one to take, you are likely to let
unimportant matters irritate you in a distressing manner.
You will be better favored by fortune if you decide on your route.
It may be after this dream you will have some important matter
of business or love to decide.
_Croup_.
To dream that your child has the croup, denotes slight illness,
but useless fear for its safety. This is generally a good omen
of health and domestic harmony.
_Crow_.[46]
To dream of seeing a crow, betokens misfortune and grief.
To hear crows cawing, you will be influenced by others to make
a bad disposal of property. To a young man, it is indicative
of his succumbing to the wiles of designing women.
[46] See Raven.
_Crowd_.
To dream of a large, handsomely dressed crowd of people at
some entertainment, denotes pleasant association with friends;
but anything occurring to mar the pleasure of the guests,
denotes distress and loss of friendship, and unhappiness will
be found where profit and congenial intercourse was expected.
It also denotes dissatisfaction in government and family dissensions.
To see a crowd in a church, denotes that a death will be likely to affect you,
or some slight unpleasantness may develop.
To see a crowd in the street, indicates unusual briskness in trade
and a general air of prosperity will surround you.
To try to be heard in a crowd, foretells that you will push your interests
ahead of all others.
To see a crowd is usually good, if too many are not wearing black
or dull costumes.
To dream of seeing a hypnotist trying to hypnotize others, and then
turn his attention on you, and fail to do so, indicates that a trouble
is hanging above you which friends will not succeed in warding off.
Yourself alone can avert the impending danger.
_Crown_.
To dream of a crown, prognosticates change of mode in the habit
of one's life. The dreamer will travel a long distance from home
and form new relations. Fatal illness may also be the sad omen
of this dream.
To dream that you wear a crown, signifies loss of personal property.
To dream of crowning a person, denotes your own worthiness.
To dream of talking with the President of the United States,
denotes that you are interested in affairs of state, and sometimes
show a great longing to be a politician.
_Crucifixion_.
If you chance to dream of the crucifixion, you will see your
opportunities slip away, tearing your hopes from your grasp,
and leaving you wailing over the frustration of desires.
_Crucifix_.
To see a crucifix in a dream, is a warning of distress approaching,
which will involve others beside yourself. To kiss one,
foretells that trouble will be accepted by you with resignation.
For a young woman to possess one, foretells she will observe
modesty and kindness in her deportment, and thus win the love
of others and better her fortune.
_Cruelty_.
