Original source (English)
To dream of any secret order, denotes a sensitive and excited organism, and the owner should cultivate practical and unselfish ideas and they may soon have opportunities for honest pleasures, and desired literary distinctions.
There is a vision of selfish and designing friendships for one who joins a secret order.
Young women should heed the counsel of their guardians, lest they fall into discreditable habits after this dream.
If a young woman meets the head of the order, she should oppose with energy and moral rectitude against allurements that are set brilliantly and prominently before those of her sex. For her to think her mother has joined the order, and she is using her best efforts to have her mother repudiate her vows, denotes that she will be full of love for her parents, yet will wring their hearts with anguish by thoughtless disobedience.
To see or hear that the leader is dead, foretells severe strains, and trials will eventually end in comparative good.
