Original source (English)
To dream of a fat, healthy pig, denotes reasonable success in affairs. If they are wallowing in mire, you will have hurtful associates, and your engagements will be subject to reproach. This dream will bring to a young woman a jealous and greedy companion though the chances are that he will be wealthy. See Hog.

To dream that your lover is driving a pig, denotes that he is of a headstrong disposition, and likely to prove a drunkard.
