To dream of a servant, is a sign that you will be fortunate, despite gloomy appearances. Anger is likely to precipitate you into useless worries and quarrels.
To discharge one, foretells regrets and losses.
To quarrel with one in your dream, indicates that you will, upon waking, have real cause for censuring some one who is derelict in duty.
To be robbed by one, shows that you have some one near you, who does not respect the laws of ownership.

(See Domestics.) To dream that you are robbed by your servants, is a sign that some one among them that you think the most of is deceiving you: if, in your dream, you imagine you have had your silver stolen by a servant, it shows that you will have a difficulty, and discharge one who will be replaced by a dishonest person. 71, 40,
