This is a very favorable dream. If the dwarf is well formed and pleasing in appearance, it omens you will never be dwarfed in mind or stature. Health and good constitution will admit of your engaging in many profitable pursuits both of mind and body.
To see your friends dwarfed, denotes their health, and you will have many pleasures through them.
Ugly and hideous dwarfs, always forebodes distressing states.

Should a single lady dream she sees a very small man or Dwarf, it indicates that her husband will be a very large man, or have a great intellect. If a single man has this dream it is a sign he will marry a scold. For married people to dream of dwarfs shows that their children will give them much trouble.
