SOURCE ACCOUNT

Felix Fontaine

The Golden Wheel Dream-book and Fortune-teller · 1862

Pulpit · Heading 621; source line 3974 · Text transcription

Original source (English)

If any one dreams of going into a pulpit, it is a sign he or she will visit a place of disrepute, as such dreams work contrariwise: for a girl to dream that she assists in ornamenting or dressing a pulpit, foretells that she will do some act that she afterwards regrets, because of an unworthy person being connected therewith.
