Losses · Heading 442; source line 3036 · Text transcription

Original source (English)

To dream of losing your hat is a sign you will entertain a large company, either by making a speech, or otherwise attracting their attention: dreaming of the loss of money, a watch, or any valuables of that kind, predicts that you will gain as much and perhaps more than your loss amounts to: if a girl dreams of losing her shoe-strings, she will be kissed by an agreeable young man; any article of clothing that you may dream of having lost, shows that you will rig yourself out in a new suit.

For a woman to dream of losing her wedding-ring augurs little love for her husband; if she finds it again, the love is not wholly dead; for a man to lose his shoes, signifies reproaches (Gypsy).
