Original source (English)
For a person to dream of being corpulent, indicates to the dreamer bountiful increase of wealth and pleasant abiding places.
To see others corpulent, denotes unusual activity and prosperous times.
If a man or woman sees himself or herself looking grossly corpulent, he or she should look well to their moral nature and impulses. Beware of either concave or convex telescopically or microscopically drawn pictures of yourself or others, as they forbode evil.
