To dream of seeing fat, strong-looking hogs, foretells brisk changes in business and safe dealings. Lean hogs predict vexatious affairs and trouble with servants and children.
To see a sow and litter of pigs, denotes abundant crops to the farmer, and advance in the affairs of others.
To hear hogs squealing, denotes unpleasant news from absent friends, and foretells disappointment by death, or failure to realize the amounts you expected in deals of importance.
To dream of feeding your own hogs, denotes an increase in your personal belongings.
To dream that you are dealing in hogs, you will accumulate considerable property, but you will have much rough work to perform.

To dream of well-kept and happy-looking hogs is a good omen, as it foretells luck and success: but if you see lean and hungry-looking hogs squealing, it shows that any speculation you may enter into about that time will not be of much account if it does not result in a loss.
