Wandering through a palace and noting its grandeur, signifies that your prospects are growing brighter and you will assume new dignity.
To see and hear fine ladies and men dancing and conversing, denotes that you will engage in profitable and pleasing associations.
For a young woman of moderate means to dream that she is a participant in the entertainment, and of equal social standing with others, is a sign of her advancement through marriage, or the generosity of relatives.
This is often a very deceitful and misleading dream to the young woman of humble circumstances; as it is generally induced in such cases by the unhealthy day dreams of her idle, empty brain. She should strive after this dream, to live by honest work, and restrain deceitful ambition by observing the fireside counsels of mother, and friends. See Opulence.
