Dreaming of the laurel, brings success and fame. You will acquire new possessions in love. Enterprises will be laden with gain.
For a young woman to wreath laurel about her lover's head, denotes that she will have a faithful man, and one of fame to woo her.

To dream you see a laurel tree is a token of victory and pleasure, and if you be married, it denotes the inheritance of possession by your wife. To dream one sees or smells laurel, if it be a woman, she shall bear children. If a maid, she will be suddenly married.
