Knives

Labour

To dream that a woman is in labour, and that she brings forth a child that is dead, or else none at all, though she has suffered much pain and anguish in her labour, shows that the party so dreaming shall labour much for that which they shall never bring to pass. But though her labour be hard, if the dream is to the effect that she brings forth a living child, it shows that the party so dreaming shall effect their business, though not without great toil and trouble.

Ladder

And if the sick man dream he obtains his suit, he shall come to better estate; but if otherwise, he shall die. And if he which is at law dream that he sits in the judge's seat, he shall not be overthrown, but rather his adversary, A physician seen in a dream by him who is at law, signifies the same with attorneys and proctors.

Leaping

Light

He that dreams he is in a ship, and sees a clear light afar off, shall be assured of a fair wind, and receive no damage by tempests, but arrive happily at his desired haven. When one dreams that he holds a burning light in his hands in the night, it is a good sight, and chiefly to those who are young; for it signifies that they shall prosper in love, accomplish their designs, overcome their enemies, and gain honour and goodwill from all persons. To dream you see a burning light in the hands of another, signifies that the mischief done will be discovered, and the party punished.

Linen

To dream you are dressed in clean linen, denotes that you will shortly receive some glad tidings; if it is dirty, then it denotes poverty, a prison, and disappointment in love, with the loss of something valuable.

Lion

To dream that you see a lion signifies you shall discourse with the king or some great captain, or other valiant warrior. If any dreams he combats with a lion, it signifies a quarrel, and that he shall engage with some resolute adversary; and if he dreamed he came off victorious, it shall certainly be so. If any one dreams that he hath found the skin, liver, or marrow of a lion - if he that dreamt it be a king, he will find the treasure of his enemies; if he be a vulgar person, he will suddenly grow rich. The Queen Olympias, being big with Alexander the Great, dreamed that King Philip, her husband, had sealed up her womb with a seal engraven with a lion, which did prognosticate the valour, magnanimity, and conquests of the said Alexander. The lioness signifies the same as the lion, only less good and less hurt, and that not by men but by women, ' I have also known by a dream of a lioness tearing or biting,' says Artemidorus, ' that rich personages have fallen into crimes and accusations.'
