smooth lake, with happy and congenial companions, you will have much
happiness, and wealth will meet your demands. A muddy lake,
surrounded with bleak rocks and bare trees, denotes unhappy
terminations to business and affection. A muddy lake, surrounded by
green trees, portends that the moral in your nature will fortify

be marred by immoral and passionate dissipation. To see yourself
reflected in a clear lake, denotes coming joys and many ardent
friends. To see foliaged trees reflected in the lake, you will enjoy

villains. To hear the bleating of lambs, your generosity will be
appealed to. To see them in a winter storm, or rain, denotes
disappointment in expected enjoyment and betterment of fortune. To
own lambs in your dreams, signifies that your environments will be
pleasant and profitable. If you carry lambs in your arms, you will
be encumbered with happy cares upon which you will lavish a wealth
of devotion, and no expense will be regretted in responding to
appeals from the objects of your affection. To shear lambs, shows
that you will be cold and mercenary. You will be honest, but
inhumane. For a woman to dream that she is peeling the skin from a
lamb, and while doing so, she discovers that it is her child,

hopes will abruptly turn into failure. If it explodes, former
