Ten Thousand Dream Interpretation
by Gustavus Hindman MillerTo see bedbugs simulating death, foretells unhappiness caused by illness.
To mash them, and water appears instead of blood, denotes alarming but not fatal illness or accident.

If the water fails to destroy them, some serious complication with fatal results is not improbable.
