If you dream of jugs well filled with transparent liquids, your welfare is being considered by more than yourself. Many true friends will unite to please and profit you. If the jugs are empty, your conduct will estrange you from friends and station.
Broken jugs, indicate sickness and failures in employment.
If you drink wine from a jug, you will enjoy robust health and find pleasure in all circles. Optimistic views will possess you.
To take an unpleasant drink from a jug, disappointment and disgust will follow pleasant anticipations.

For one to dream of drinking out of a jug, is a sure sign of going on a journey. If the jug be large, the journey will be long; if small, the journey will be short; and so, if the liquid drank be pleasant, so will the journey, and if unpleasant, the journey will be full of troubles.
