To have one successfully treated in a dream, denotes a sudden rise from obscure poverty to wealthy surroundings.
To dream of a cancer, denotes illness of some one near you, and quarrels with those you love. Depressions may follow to the man of affairs after this dream.
To dream of a cancer, foretells sorrow in its ugliest phase. Love will resolve itself into cold formality, and business will be worrying and profitless.
