Anecdote

• For a young woman to hear anecdotes related, denotes that she will be one of a merry party of pleasure-seekers.

Angels

• If the dream comes as a token of warning, the dreamer may expect threats of scandal about love or money matters. To wicked people, it is a demand to repent; to good people it should be a consolation.

Ants

• The dreamer of ants should expect many petty annoyances during the day; chasing little worries, and finding general dissatisfaction in all things.

Anvil

• To see hot iron with sparks flying, is significant of a pleasing work; to the farmer, an abundant crop; favorable indeed to women. Cold, or small, favors may be expected from those in power. The means of success is in your power, but in order to obtain it you will have to labor under difficulty. If the anvil is broken, it foretells that you have, through your own neglect, thrown away promising opportunities that cannot be recalled.

Apes

• This dream brings humiliation and disease to some dear friend.
• To see a small ape cling to a tree, warns the dreamer to beware; a false person is close to you and will cause unpleasantness in your circle. Deceit goes with this dream.

Apparel [16]

• Dreams of apparel, denote that enterprises will be successes or failures, as the apparel seems to be whole and clean, or soiled and threadbare.
• To see fine apparel, but out of date, foretells that you will have fortune, but you will scorn progressive ideas.
• If you reject out-of-date apparel, you will outgrow present environments and enter into new relations, new enterprises and new loves, which will transform you into a different person.
• To see yourself or others appareled in white, denotes eventful changes, and you will nearly always find the change bearing sadness.
• To walk with a person wearing white, proclaims that person's illness or distress, unless it be a young woman or child, then you will have pleasing surroundings for a season at least.
• To see yourself, or others, dressed in black, portends quarrels, disappointments, and disagreeable companions; or, if it refers to business, the business will fall short of expectations.
• To see yellow apparel, foretells approaching gaieties and financial progress. Seen as a flitting spectre, in an unnatural light, the reverse may be expected. You will be fortunate if you dream of yellow cloth.
• To dream of blue apparel, signifies carrying forward to victory your aspirations, through energetic, insistent efforts. Friends will loyally support you.

• To see many colored apparel, foretells swift changes, and intermingling of good and bad influences in your future.
• To dream of misfitting apparel, intimates crosses in your affections, and that you are likely to make a mistake in some enterprise.
• To see old or young in appropriate apparel, denotes that you will undertake some engagement for which you will have no liking, and which will give rise to many cares.

• To admire the apparel of others, denotes that she will have jealous fears of her friends.
• To dream of the loss of any article of apparel, denotes disturbances in your business and love affairs.
• For a young woman to dream of being attired in a guazy black costume, foretells she will undergo chastening sorrow and disappointment.
• For a young woman to dream that she meets another attired in a crimson dress with a crepe mourning veil over her face, foretells she will be outrivaled by one she hardly considers her equal, and bitter disappointment will sour her against women generally.
• The dreamer interpreting the dream of apparel should be careful to note whether the objects are looking natural. If the faces are distorted and the light unearthly, though the colors are bright, beware; the miscarriage of some worthy plan will work you harm. There are few dreams in which the element of evil is wanting, as there are few enterprises in waking life from which the element of chance is obviated.
• [16] See Clothes and Coat.

Apparition

• Take unusual care of all depending upon you. Calamity awaits you and yours. Both property and life are in danger. Young people should be decidedly upright in their communications with the opposite sex. Character is likely to be rated at a discount.

• This is a very good dream to the majority of people.
• To see red apples on trees with green foliage is exceedingly propitious to the dreamer.
• To eat them is not as good, unless they be faultless. A friend who interprets dreams says: ``Ripe apples on a tree, denotes that the time has arrived for you to realize your hopes; think over what you intend to do, and go fearlessly ahead. Ripe on the top of the tree, warns you not to aim too high. Apples on the ground imply that false friends, and flatterers are working you harm. Decayed apples typify hopeless efforts.''

Apprentice

• To dream that you serve as an apprentice, foretells you will have a struggle to win a place among your companions

Apricot

• Dreams of seeing apricots growing, denote that the future, though seemingly rosy hued, holds masked bitterness and sorrow for you.
• To eat them signifies the near approach of calamitous influences. If others eat them, your surroundings will be unpleasant and disagreeable to your fancies. A friend says: ``Apricots denote that you have been wasting time over trifles or small things of no value.''

April

To dream of the month of April, signifies that much pleasure and profit will be your allotment. If the weather is miserable, it is a sign of passing ill luck.

Apron

• To dream of an apron, signifies a zigzag course, for a young woman. For a school girl to dream that her apron is loosened, or torn, implies bad lessons, and lectures in propriety from parents and teachers.

Arch

• An arch in a dream, denotes your rise to distinction and the gaining of wealth by persistent effort. To pass under one, foretells that many will seek you who formerly ignored your position.
• For a young woman to see a fallen arch, denotes the destruction of her hopes, and she will be miserable in her new situation.
