To dream that you have measles, denotes much worry, and anxious care will interfere with your business affairs.
To dream that others have this disease, denotes that you will be troubled over the condition of others.

To dream you have this troublesome disorder shows that you will be fortunate, provided you engage in some disreputable or dishonest speculation, or in a robbery of money: but to conscientious people the omen does not hold good. If a girl dreams of having the measles, it predicts that a rogue will make love to her.
