From Artemidorus And Others

Acquaintance

To dream that you fight with them signifies distraction, especially if the person so dreaming be sick.

Adultery

For persons to dream they have committed it, shows that they shall meet with great contentions and debates; but to dream they have resisted the temptation to it shows victory over their enemies, and that they shall escape great dangers.

Adversary

To dream that you receive obstructions from him, shows that you shall dispatch your business speedily.

Air

To dream that you see it clear and serene, shows you to be esteemed and beloved by all people, and that those who are your enemies and envy you shall be reconciled to you. It also denotes the discovery of lost goods, or things that have been stolen. If the person so dreaming be at law, it shows he shall overthrow his adversary; and if he designs a voyage or journey, it shows he shall be successful therein. And, in short, all good things are denoted by a clear and serene Air. But to dream the Air is cloudy, dark, and troubled, denotes to the dreamer sadness, grief, sickness, melancholy, loss of goods, hindrance of business, and is in all things the reverse of dreaming what we have before-mentioned of a clear and serene air. But for a man to dream that the air is very calm, and without winds and storms, denotes his life to be peaceable, and his manners good, and that he shall be acceptable to all company; and that whatever business, journeys by land, or voyages by sea, he undertakes, shall prosper and succeed according to his wishes. And yet there are some authors who are of opinion that a serene air betokens great pain, and that to dream the air is cloudy, shows dispatch of business. To dream of being raised from the earth and flying in the air, shows a person shall obtain praise and honour, according to the height that he dreams he flies above the earth: if high, the more praise; if low, the less.

Almonds

To dream one sees or eats almonds signifies difficulty and trouble.

Alms

To dream they are begged of you, and you deny to give them, shows want and misery to the dreamer; but to dream that you give them freely, is a sign of great joy, and long life to the dreamer or some particular friend of his.

Altar

To dream that you uncover or discover an altar betokens joy and gladness.

Angel

To dream you see an angel or angels is very good, and to dream that you yourself are one is much better. But to speak with or call upon them is of evil signification. Yet if in secret they seem to declare something unknown, and which you do not understand or know, it denotes your becoming acquainted with persons of the first quality. And to dream that you see an angel fly over you or your house, signifies joy, consolation, benediction, and good news, and shows increase of honour and authority. It is likewise an advertisement to the dreamer to live well, and to repent of his sins, and that upon so doing he shall hear good news, and shall increase in honour and authority.
