Original source (English)
A sickly condition of the dreamer is sometimes implied by this dream. To dream that you are shaking with an ague, signifies that you will suffer from some physical disorder, and that fluctuating opinions of your own affairs may bring you to the borders of prostration.
To see others thus affected, denotes that you will offend people by your supreme indifference to the influences of others.

To dream that you have one, warns you against an inclination to strong drink; to dream your sweetheart has an ague, denotes affection and happiness.

To dream you have an ague, denotes that you are in danger of becoming a drunkard and a glutton. To dream your sweetheart has an ague, is a lucky omen; it shows you are beloved, and that you will be happy with the object of your wishes, but never very rich.
