The Mystic Dream Book

For one who speculates, to dream that he has been unfortunate, denotes that by shrewdness and carefulness he will amass a large fortune. For a single person to dream of being unfortunate in love affairs, signifies that the dreamer will be shortly married, and have a large share of conjugal felicity.
