To see others skating, foretells that disagreeable people will connect your name in scandal with some person who admires you.
To see skates, denotes discord among your associates.
To see young people skating on roller skates, foretells that you will enjoy good health, and feel enthusiastic over the pleasures you are able to contribute to others.
