To dream of a famine, foretells that your business will be unremunerative and sickness will prove a scourge. This dream is generally bad.
If you see your enemies perishing by famine, you will be successful in competition. If dreams of famine should break in wild confusion over slumbers, tearing up all heads in anguish, filling every soul with care, hauling down Hope's banners, somber with omens of misfortune and despair, your waking grief more poignant still must grow ere you quench ambition and en[??]y[envy??] overthrow.
