GRAIN. To dream of regular fields of ripe grain is a good omen, as it is a sign of thrift: if the grain is broken down or imperfect, it shows trouble with the thrift: if it is mouldy or mildewed, you will experience losses. An abundance of grain in bulk is likewise a sign of plenty; but scattered grain is the reverse of this. 69.

GRAPES. To dream of an abundance of grapes is a good omen, as is also a dream that you eat grapes of a pleasant flavor; but if the grapes are sour and broken, it shows that you will have sorrow.

GRAVEL. To see heaps of clean gravel, denotes that you will soon go a journey by land, which will be a pleasant or profitable one. 44, 19, 22, 1.

GREASE.

GREEN. If you see green things, such as fruit, grass, green fields, &c., in your dream, it is a sign of long life, but if the color has faded it is a sign of trouble. 2, 18.

GRIEF. Dreaming of grief is a sign of a jolly time, as such dreams go by the rule of contrary. Thus, if you dream you are in great grief at the death of a friend or relative, you may calculate that a happy Wedding is soon to come off, at which you will be present. 24, 62.

GRIN. If you dream you see people grinning at you, it shows that you will do something of which you are ashamed: if you imagine that ladies are grinning at you, you will probably have some adventure with one that will make you appear ridiculous. 71, 6.

GRIP, or GRIPPE. To dream you have griping sensations in the bowels, denotes an accident causing a flesh wound: if you dream that a man takes you by the hand, or any part of your body, by a hard grip that hurts you, it is a sign that you will have a pressing invitation to go somewhere—perhaps a summons to court. 19, 16.

GROTTO. To dream of being in a grotto, or cavern in the earth, shows that you will soon meet a near and dear relative: if you live away from home, something will occur to cause your return: such a dream always foretells meeting your absent friends. 49, 2.

GROVE. (_See Pic-Nic._) To dream of pleasant and verdant groves or woods, is an excellent sign, as it foretells happiness and success: if the groves are barren of leaves, it is the reverse, and you will be poor and unhappy. 65, 78.

A maid who dreams of verdant groves, Will surely have the man she loves; But if the groves are nipped with frost, She’ll be as sure in marriage crossed.

GROW. If you dream that a tree or shrub grows fast, it is a sign that you will do something in a hurry that you will afterward be sorry for: if it be your son, or daughter, or any near young relative that you imagine to grow very rapidly, it foretells an accident to them. 1, 19.

GRUB. (_See Worm._) To dream of clean-looking, white fat grubs, is a sign of good crops to farmers, but to dream of black or dirty looking grubs is the reverse. For a girl to dream of grubs is a bad sign, as it puts her in peril of losing her virtue; but to a married woman it is a good sign, for the reason that she will soon be in the family way. 49, 70, 65.

GRUEL. To dream of drinking gruel, is a good sign if you are sick, as it shows a speedy recovery; but if you are well, it is a sign that some one will overreach you in a bargain, or that you will do some foolish act. 2, 11, 22.

GUTS. (_See Entrails._)

GUTTER. If you dream of lying in a gutter, or of seeing a man so reclining, it foretells that some honor awaits you, or some one in whose success you take an interest. If a girl dreams of a broken gutter, she should be careful of allowing her lover to be too familiar with her person, or some accident may happen. 27, 65.

HACK. (_See Carriage._) If you see, in your dream, a row of hacks, or carriages at a funeral, it shows that you’ll soon attend a wedding or a jolly party. 32, 19.

HAIL. To dream of a hail-storm, is a sign that you will make a good bargain, or will be lucky in some undertaking, provided the hail is white or in crystals; black hail, denotes sorrow and death, therefore you should never dream of that kind of hail if you can help it. To dream of seeing white hail lying on the ground intimates that you’ll soon get plenty of cash in some transaction. 21, 72.

HAIR. If you dream that your hair is thick and bushy, it shows that you’ll grow rich or powerful; if you dream it is curly and kinky, when in fact it is not, it is a sign you’ll do something that you will afterward be ashamed of; if, in your dream, you imagine that your hair has fallen off, or that it has become extremely thin, it is a bad omen, as it shadows forth sickness, and perhaps death. 42.

HAM. Dreaming of fine-looking hams is a good omen; but if they are wormy or in any way blemished, it spoils all the luck, and shows that you will be unfortunate. To dream of eating fine-tasting hams is a sign that you will do something noted that will create a talk, but all in your favor; if the ham that you eat is bad and wormy, the said talk will be a scandal against you. 30, 1.

HAMMER. To dream that you see or hear hammering, denotes thrift to some one of your friends; if you are using the hammer yourself, it shows that you will be fortunate. A hammer is a good article to dream about. 3.

HAND. If you dream that your right hand is injured, or any thing is the matter with it, it shows that you will soon be called upon to assist a friend in distress; if it is your left hand, assistance will be solicited from you for an unfortunate stranger. 22, 78.

HANGED. (_See Execution._) To dream of being hanged is an excellent omen, as it foretells that you will become either rich or distinguished. If you dream you are going to be hanged, it is nearly as good, as it betokens success in all your undertakings; but should you imagine that you eluded the officers of the law and escaped, that is a bad omen, as it foretells disappointment and ill-luck. The theory of such dreams is, that they always work by contraries. 10, 7, 6.

HARP. To dream you play upon the harp, indicates that you have some envious enemies who seek to injure you with slander. To dream you hear any person play upon the harp, is a sign that if you have sick friends they will recover. In love affairs this dream is very lucky. 5, 11.

HARVEST. To dream of a harvest field is a good omen. If you dream you are working in one it indicates success in business. To lovers, this is one of the most fortunate signs; to a young man, it signifies he will wed a rich and beautiful bride; to a young maiden, it is a sign she will soon be engaged to the object of her affections; to the married, it signifies domestic bliss. 4, 11, 44.

HASTE. (_See Running and Walking._)

HAT. For a man to dream he has got a new hat shadows forth good luck and advancement; dreaming of an old or shabby hat is a sign he will soon fall in love; and if he dreams he is wearing such a hat, the omen is not so favorable, for he will probably endeavor to take improper liberties with his sweetheart and be successful. 21, 6.

HATCHING. To dream of hatching fowls of any kind is a sign of thrift; if you imagine, in your dream, that a hen comes off with a very large brood of chickens, it shadows forth so much cash to be made by you in some bargain. 24, 68.

HATRED. To dream that you hate any particular person is a sign that he or she has been talking bad about you. If a girl should ever be so silly as to dream such a dream about her lover, it shows that he meditates an attack upon her chastity; on the contrary, if she dreams that he hates her, it is a sign that she possesses his whole heart. 44.

HAWK. If you dream of seeing a very large hawk, it shows that you will soon begin a new enterprise; if the hawk darts down and takes a chicken, a bird, or a fish, you will probably be successful; if little birds attack the hawk and drive it away, you will have difficulties in your undertaking and may possibly fail in it. 5, 55.

HAY. (_See Raking and Harvest._) To dream of making hay, signifies success in all your undertakings. This is a good omen to young lovers. To dream you are selling hay is a bad omen, and portends losses in business and dangerous accidents. 49, 11.

HEAL. If you dream of having a sore on your person that was healed up quick, it is a sign that some one will cut your acquaintance; if you have a sweetheart or lover, it is probable something will happen to break off the intimacy. 20.

HEART. To dream of a heart is a bad omen. If you lose your heart it signifies sickness and death. To the married it denotes infidelity of their marital vows.

HIDE, or HIDDEN. To dream of concealing anything by hiding it, or putting it in an out-of-the-way place, is a sign that some one will reveal a secret that you have told.

To dream of going up a hill is a sign you will rise in the world, and of going down hill the reverse; if, in your dream, you seem to be approaching a smooth high hill, it shows that you will shortly have a piece of good fortune; but if the hill be rugged and stony, it foretells difficulties in connection with the good fortune. 1, 46, 18.

HOLE. (_See Abyss._)
