Original source (English)
To dream of seeing lobsters, denotes great favors, and riches will endow you.
If you eat them, you will sustain contamination by associating too freely with pleasure-seeking people.
If the lobsters are made into a salad, success will not change your generous nature, but you will enjoy to the fullest your ideas of pleasure.
To order a lobster, you will hold prominent positions and command many subordinates.
Take a question into your day.
