To dream that you see some person with squinting eyes, denotes that you will be annoyed with unpleasant people.
For a man to dream that his sweetheart, or some good-looking girl, squints her eyes at him, foretells that he is threatened with loss by seeking the favors of women. For a young woman to have this dream about men, she will be in danger of losing her fair reputation.

(See Eye.) If a girl dreams of seeing a good-looking young man who squints, it is a sign that some one has fallen in love with her, and only waits an opportunity to demonstrate his passion: if a gentleman dreams that his sweetheart squints, it foretells that she is thinking about some one else rather than him, and would not break her heart if he refused to “come to tea.”
