FONTAINE’S
GOLDEN WHEEL DREAM BOOK,
AND
FORTUNE TELLER.

This unique wheel was widely referenced during the Middle Ages and is rumored to have been used by Cagliostro for his divinations. I selected it from an old Latin manuscript on astrology and translated it into English for the benefit of readers who can't read Latin. See cover page.

The person getting their fortune told should place the Wheel of Fortune face down, poke a number on it (it’s better to do this with their eyes closed), then check the explanation corresponding to the number they poked. (See Frontispiece.)

The following observations apply to both genders, so the party using this wheel must switch husband for wife or vice versa, depending on which answers fit either party.

I present to you in this work, my dear reader, everything that can be gathered about dreams. Despite the saying, "All dreams are lies," we often see them come true, and they inform us of various interesting events that later occur in our lives. A sensible and knowledgeable person will therefore carefully analyze their dreams to determine which ones are worth interpreting, ignoring those that are too far-fetched due to an overly active imagination or digestive issues.

By carefully examining this book, looking for explanations of your dreams, and analyzing the causes behind them, you will almost always find the truth. This is because you will be following a clever approach that helps you avoid falling into a deceptive, if not dangerous, mistake.

In the Holy Scriptures, God says that He “will pour His Spirit on all people, and your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions.” Both sacred and secular history are filled with countless examples of dreams coming true, so one must be quite skeptical and not well-versed in natural science to dismiss them.

Hippocrates says that when the body is asleep, the soul is awake and travels everywhere the body can go. It knows and sees everything the body could know or see if it were awake; it can touch everything the body could touch. In short, it does all the things that a sleeping person's body could do if he were awake.

There are five types of dreams, each named for their distinct qualities. The first is called a dream, the second a vision, the third an oracle, the fourth a daydream, and the fifth an apparition.

A dream is something that, while we’re asleep, reveals the truth hidden behind certain images, like when Joseph explained to King Pharaoh the dream about the seven skinny cows that ate the seven healthy ones; the dream of the seven full heads of grain, etc.

A vision is just a dream occurring while the body is awake instead of asleep, like Vespasian when he saw the surgeon who had pulled out Nero’s tooth.

The oracle is a revelation or information given to us by some angel or other celestial being who carries out God's will. The angel who appeared to Joseph, the husband of the Virgin, and to the wise men are examples of this.

Revery happens when emotions are so intense that they temporarily disrupt mental balance. What someone thinks about during the day, they’ll dream about at night, much like a lover who spends the day thinking of their beloved continues to do so in their dreams. Sometimes, if someone is anxious about running into a person, they might dream at night that they’ve met them; if they’ve fasted all day, they’ll dream of eating, or if they’ve been thirsty, they’ll dream of drinking. Greed will make a miser dream of his gold and even talk about it in his sleep, which he wouldn’t do while awake.

Apparition is called Phantom by the Greeks, and it is just that nighttime vision that sometimes appears to children and those with weaker minds, who think they see things meant to scare or hurt them.

Of these five types of dreams, the first three seem real, but the last two are completely false.

It’s important to note that all dreams where only parts are remembered don’t mean anything at all; those that the memory holds onto are good and true. They usually happen around daybreak or at least after midnight because, until that time, the senses and body are busy digesting, and the mind, cluttered with thoughts of dinner, can’t dream of anything rational. However, Artemidorus mentions that a sober, moderate, and calm person can dream at any hour of the night or even during the day, and those dreams are likely to come true.

Some authors categorize dreams into three types: dreams about natural objects, animals, and celestial objects. Natural things are used by doctors to assess a person's temperament; animal dreams reflect the emotions and concerns that have occupied the mind during the day; and dreams of celestial objects are hints about divine matters, like the statue that the king of Babylon saw while asleep, which the prophet Daniel explained so well.

There are few people who have the ability to dream about things that will come true, and even fewer who can interpret those dreams, because it requires noticing many things that aren't commonly understood.

There are two main types of dreams: speculative or contemplative, and allegorical or significant. These are worth noting, as speculative dreams often come true, like in the case of a prisoner in a small cell in Paris who dreamed that a cord was being tied around his neck to hang him. After that happened, a stranger appeared with a sword and cut the cord, saving him from death; this played out the next day when the judge gave his sentence and handed him over to the executioner, but he was rescued by unknown individuals sent by his friends. On the other hand, allegorical dreams never occur as one dreams them. For example, dreaming of an angel represents revelation or good news, while dreaming of a serpent trying to bite you symbolizes troubles caused by the jealousy of others.

Speculative dreams get fulfilled pretty quickly, but allegorical ones take longer; often a day or two passes between the dream and its realization.

“Dreams? Nonsense!” I hear some serious person shout. Seriously! And where did this serious person get their wisdom? Definitely not from experience. No, experience shows us the opposite. Dreams are not at all nonsense. I stand by this openly in front of everyone.

I believe that every dream has meaning. I'm not saying it always reveals the future; I’m not claiming that at all. I only mean it has its meaning. Usually, a dream "gives us a glimpse into the soul or heart of a person. The thoughts that occupy the mind and the feelings that influence the heart take shape in our sleep as different images, which shed light on our character. There have certainly been many wild stories passed off as facts about dreams, but there is enough credible evidence to show their significance, making any unusual dream worthy of the dreamer’s reflection and analysis; and it’s undeniable that many aspects of our dreams can indeed serve as omens.

10

ABOVE. Dreaming of something hanging above you means that you will see improvement in your life, and you'll soon find yourself in a better situation than you were in before the dream. 76, 62, 14.

ABSENCE. Dreaming of people who are absent means they will be back soon. It also indicates that you will find success in business. 4, 22.

ABSCESS. If you dream you have an abscess or sore on your body, it suggests good luck and good health, although it may come after a period of illness. 3, 27.

ABUSE. Dreaming that you are being abused or insulted signifies that a disagreement will arise between you and someone you are working with; if you are in love, rest assured that someone has tried to harm you in relation to the one you care about, and they have mostly succeeded. 6, 38, 44.

ABUNDANCE. If you dream that you have an excess of something, it actually indicates a lack; for example, if a farmer dreams of having a huge harvest, it would foretell a shortage—maybe not of that specific crop he dreamed about, but of something that would matter to him. 15.

ABYSS. Seeing an abyss or deep hole serves as a warning; after such a dream, it's best to avoid taking a trip by land or a journey by sea for forty-eight hours, as it predicts travel-related accidents. 62, 19.

ACCIDENT. Dreaming that an accident has happened to you, or to someone in your household, or someone you live with, suggests that you will unexpectedly encounter someone. 72, 3, 11.

ACCOUNTS. Dreams about reconciling accounts are positive signs. If you dream that you discovered a mistake in your financial account, it indicates that you will experience some good fortune. Accounts marked with ink suggest illness. 14.

ACCUSATION. If you dream that someone is accusing you of something, it is a positive sign for the dreamer. 66, 4.

ACORN. (See Oak.) Dreaming of pigs eating acorns means you’ll face setbacks in business and could lose money if you’re not careful; dreaming about picking acorns suggests that a wealthy relative will leave you an inheritance. 65.

ACQUAINTANCE. Dreaming that you argue or fight with someone you know suggests there will be conflicts in your family; in romance, it indicates infidelity; and you may face financial losses. 42, 6.

ACTRESS. If you dream that you love her, it means you'll face challenges. If you dream you see her on stage, you'll succeed in all your endeavors. 68, 5, 18.

ADDER. Dreaming of this reptile means that someone you believe is friendly will hurt you in some way. 19, 2.

ADULTERY. Dreaming that you’ve committed this act is generally a bad sign. If the person you dreamt about is married or a sex worker, it’s likely that you’ll face some kind of misfortune11. If she’s a virgin, it simply means you’ll soon receive an invitation to a wedding. If a married woman dreams of adultery, it indicates she will soon become pregnant and have a girl. For an unmarried woman, such a dream symbolizes misfortune. 51, 7, 3.

AGUE. Dreaming that you have one warns you about the temptation of heavy drinking; dreaming that your partner has an ague signifies love and happiness. 39, 6, 1.

AIR. Dreaming of clear and calm air signifies that you will be loved and respected by many; if you're involved in legal matters, it suggests success. Overall, clear and calm air symbolizes positive outcomes. However, if you dream of thick, cloudy, dark, and turbulent air, it indicates to the dreamer difficulties, illness, loss of good fortune, obstacles in business, and challenges in love. 12, 9.

ALMONDS. Represent wealth and joy; eating them indicates you'll have good fortune in romantic matters. 73, 18, 10.

Alligator. (See __A_TAG_PLACEHOLDER_0__.)

ALMS. Dreaming that people are begging you for alms and that you refuse them indicates a lack and hardship for the dreamer; however, dreaming that you give them generously is a sign of happiness and longevity. 11, 13, 4.

ALTAR. Dreaming of an altar signifies joy and love. The same applies to an Ark. 71, 63, 4.

ANCHOR. Dreaming of seeing one signifies unexpected success in love; however, in business, it indicates that success is far off and can only be achieved with caution. 47, 36.

ANGEL. Dreaming of angels while you sleep is a sign that some are nearby and that the rest of your dream will come true. Seeing many angels indicates many children and a lot of prosperity. 16, 8, 24.

ANGER. (See Rage.) Dreaming that you’re feeling angry indicates that you have strong adversaries; it reminds you to ensure that everything you do is completely honorable. However, it also suggests that you'll receive good news and be in a cheerful mood. 44, 16.

FISHING. (See __A_TAG_PLACEHOLDER_0__.)

ANTS. Dreaming of ants is considered unlucky, and if you dream of them too often, it indicates that the dreamer may not live long. 7, 49, 20.

APES. (See Monkey.) If you dream that you've seen or been involved with them, it means you have hidden, malicious enemies and warns you against pursuing legal battles. 17, 6.

APPARITION. Dreaming of seeing an apparition or spirit dressed in white indicates deceit, temptation to sin, and disappointment in love. 57.

The following is an old prediction in verse:

APPAREL. (See Silks and Satins.) To dream that your clothes are12 in good condition signifies prosperity and happiness; dreaming of white clothing is favorable only for clergymen; for others, it indicates trouble; for workers, it means a decline in business; for the sick, it suggests death. However, if the clothing is black, it signals recovery; dreaming of rich scarlet clothing is positive for wealthy individuals, indicating honor, but is a bad omen for the sick, symbolizing death, and for the poor, it means loss or captivity. Dreaming of women’s clothing is favorable for singles; but for a married man, it foretells the loss of his wife or illness. 17, 20.

APPLES, or APPLE TREES. (See Orchard.) Sweet apples represent joy and pleasure, particularly for women and young girls. Sour apples symbolize conflict and rebellion. 4, 11, 44.

APRICOTS. Contentment, health, and enjoyment, if in season; if not, just empty hopes and bad luck. 22, 5, 64.

ARMS. Dreaming that your arms are weak or thin suggests hardship, illness, and financial struggle; for a woman, it means she risks becoming a widow. If someone dreams that their arms are hairy, it signifies a boost in wealth. 7.

ARMED MEN. (See __A_TAG_PLACEHOLDER_0__.)

ASHES. A terrible fate is approaching; for a lover, this kind of dream suggests that they will feel jealous upon seeing their partner with someone else. 70.

ASP. Dreaming of the asp or adder signifies scheming enemies; however, it’s a positive sign if they don’t bite you. 17, 4.

ASS. Dreaming that you hear a donkey bray indicates that you will experience some loss; seeing a donkey run signifies bad luck. 62, 18, 20.

ATTORNEYS. (See Lawyer.) Dreaming that you are talking to them indicates obstacles in your business and suggests that careful planning is needed to achieve success in your endeavors. It also signifies potential loss of property. 16.

AWAKING. Dreaming that you wake up is a joyful resolution to all your troubles. Waking someone else is a sign that you will inspire love in the one you desire. 61, 4.

BACK. Dreaming that your back is broken, injured, or has scabs means that your enemies will overcome you. Dreaming of the backbone indicates good health and a lot of happiness. Seeing your back represents bad luck. 2, 19, 42.

BACKGAMMON. (See __A_TAG_PLACEHOLDER_0__.)

BACON. Dreaming of bacon or pork suggests the death of a friend or family member, and that adversaries will try to harm you; in romance, it indicates a disappointment of some sort. 74.

BAGPIPES. Dreaming of bagpipes indicates trouble, conflict, and losing a legal case. 20, 1.

BAKING. (See Oven.) If a woman dreams that she is baking bread, it signifies frugality. If she’s a farmer’s wife, it predicts a good harvest. If she burns her bread, it suggests she may experience a miscarriage. 18, 54.

BALL. (See Dancing.) If you dream you are at a ball and dancing with a woman, it means you will marry her; if you dream she is gone and you are searching for her but can’t find her, it predicts she won’t live long after the wedding. Dreaming13 of playing ball or watching it being played indicates that you’ll receive money soon; seeing the ball roll around means there will be a delay in getting it. 54, 11, 55.

BALLOON. Indicates that you will pursue many ambitious ideas in business, but success will not be on your side. 46.

BANANA. Dreaming about this tasty fruit is a positive sign; if you dream that you are eating a banana, it indicates that you will be wealthy and happy. If you dream of seeing bananas growing, it signifies success in romantic pursuits. If a girl dreams that her partner gives her a ripe banana, it predicts that she will soon get married, or should be. 4, 11, 44.

BANK. If you dream about going to a big bank and having money there, it’s a sign that you could be poor at some point in the future. 5, 78.

BANK BILLS. (See __A_TAG_PLACEHOLDER_0__.)

BANKRUPT. It’s a nightmare; your business is in a risky situation, and if you’re not careful, you’ll have to shut it down. 17, 60, 46.

BARBER. Dreaming of a barber signifies losses. 55.

BARN. If you dream that you are in a barn filled with hay and grain, it suggests that you will marry someone wealthy or inherit land. If the barn is empty, the opposite is true, or you may face a loss. 4, 75.

BARKING DOGS. Are a sign that you have enemies who will undermine and insult you. 17, 61.

BARRELS. Represent wealth when they're full; signify poverty when they're empty. 14, 1, 7.

BASIN. If you dream that it's full of money, you will have good fortune; if it's empty, you'll end up with a lot of debt. 2, 13, 69.

BATH, or BATHING. Dreaming of being at a bath where you see people bathing is a sign that you will have good luck in some endeavor. If you are bathing yourself, it suggests that you will do something helpful for someone who will be very appreciative. This dream also predicts a change in your living situation. 20, 31.

BAT. Dreaming of a bat or bats means you'll embark on a pointless journey or one that won't meet your expectations. 42.

BATTLE. If you dream that you're in a battle, or you witness a battle, it means you'll soon start a new venture and leave behind your current job or occupation; it also suggests to a girl that she'll meet a young man she finds intriguing; for a soldier, it indicates that he'll receive a promotion. 14.

BAYONET. Dreaming of a bayonet means you have hostile enemies. 64, 7.

BEAM. This means you will achieve a high status in life. 9.

BEANS. Dreaming about eating beans indicates that trouble is on the horizon. If you're picking beans, it suggests financial hardship. 72, 18, 11.

BEAR. Dreaming of seeing a bear or bears indicates that you have one or more enemies; if a bear attacks you, it means you will overcome your enemy. 68.

BEARD. Dreaming that you have a very small beard suggests legal issues; if it's a long, thick beard, the dream is positive, indicating success. If someone dreams about their beard falling out, it means they will experience the loss of a close relative or face disgrace. 47, 3.

HUNGRY. (See Fast.) Dreaming of being hungry suggests that you will soon start a new venture that will be successful. Hungry dreams are great signs for lovers, as they symbolize energy and success.

ICE. (See Skating and Sliding.) Dreaming of walking on slippery ice in winter indicates that misfortune is coming your way: if you slip and fall, it suggests bad luck is ahead; if you dream of gliding or skating easily over smooth ice, it means you may face some difficulties but will manage to overcome them successfully. For lovers to dream of crossing ice is a sign of bad luck. 4, 28.

INDIGO. Dreaming of indigo signifies for a woman that she will travel across the ocean. If she dreams of putting indigo in water and it doesn’t release any color, she can be certain she will reach India. However, if she interacts with the water in a typical manner, that journey won’t happen. 27, 15.

INFANT. (See Child.) Dreaming of a baby is a great sign, as it promises happiness, luck, and overall success. Lovers who have this dream can feel confident about a joyful and prosperous marriage. For a businessperson, this dream indicates a new and successful venture. 29, 76.

A girl who dreams of being in a bower covered with ivy is likely to marry a poor and lazy man. 2.

JAIL. (See Prison.) If a guy dreams he’s locked up in a prison or jail, it means he will receive honors or recognition, because dreams like this usually mean the opposite: if he’s anxious about his arrest and imprisonment, it just means he’ll be even happier about his new status. 46.

39

JAR. Dreaming that a house is shaken or disturbed by an earthquake, an explosion, or anything happening outside indicates that the head of the family in that house will be ill.

JEW. If you dream that a real Israelite comes along and bothers you in any way, it means you will have a fight with your father; if you think he tricks you in a deal, it suggests that you will likely get a gift from a close relative; on the other hand, if he gives you a better deal, it indicates that your father or another older relative will ask you for a favor. 58, 21.

JOLLY. If you dream that you are with others and feel especially cheerful or happy, it is a sign of sadness; pay attention to who makes you laugh the most, because that person could bring you trouble.

KEY. If you dream about finding a key, or a set of keys, it means someone will reveal a secret to you; dreaming about losing a key, or keys, is a negative sign, as it suggests you will experience shame. This type of dream is especially unfortunate for a young woman. 41, 8.

KISSING. (See Stranger.) Dreams about kissing are interesting: if a girl dreams that a young man she doesn’t really care about kisses her, it might be a good sign, or it might not. If he’s the type of guy who thinks she’s in love with him, it means she could be talked about in a way that will make her unhappy. But if he doesn’t have those feelings, then it’s the opposite—someone will say nice things about her to people she respects, maybe even to her boyfriend. If a girl dreams that her boyfriend kisses her, it suggests he will say something unpleasant when they next meet; similarly, if a guy dreams that his girlfriend kisses him, it means the same thing. 1.

LADDER. Dreaming of climbing a ladder means you’ll become an important person, but still be poor.

LAMBS. Seeing young lambs playing around their mother is a great sign, as it symbolizes prosperity and happiness in your family relationships. If you see them nursing, it indicates there will be a new addition to your family with the birth of a child. For couples to dream of young lambs predicts a quick and joyful marriage. 24, 60.

LANTERN. Dreaming of carrying a lantern on a dark night is a positive sign, as long as you have no trouble navigating your path, because it indicates that you will easily achieve a desired goal; however, if you trip or struggle to find your way with the lantern, it suggests challenges and frustration, although success will ultimately come. 28, 10.

LARK. Dreaming of the lark indicates a quick boost in fortune. For lovers, this is a very positive sign and suggests that their true love will flourish. 47, 68.

LEGS. Dreaming of thick and heavy legs is a bad sign because it suggests illness: dreaming of slender, spindly legs is actually good, as it indicates good luck is on the way. It's not common for someone in love to dream about their partner's legs, but if they do, they might imagine them to be round, plump, and perfectly white; this is a negative dream, and they should avoid thinking about her legs before bed. If a woman dreams that her partner's legs are thin, it means he will be wealthy. 48, 5.

LEMONS. Dreaming of lemons suggests conflicts within your family and worries about your kids; they signify the loss of a relative and disappointment in romantic relationships. 22.

LEOPARD. Dreaming of this animal means you have many fake friends trying to bring you down, and it also suggests family disputes and unhappiness at home. 24, 76.

LOTTERY. (See __A_TAG_PLACEHOLDER_0__.)

LOVE. Dreaming that you're in love suggests you might embarrass yourself and do something foolish, which you could later regret—showing that the dream has the opposite effect—because love is far from a silly emotion unless experienced by fools. If a young girl dreams of falling in love, it means she will likely be laughed at and mocked for some mistake. 64, 52, 1.

LUCK. If you dream that you've had amazing luck in something, it predicts bad luck instead: if a guy has had an argument with his girlfriend and dreams that everything is resolved, he can be sure that the argument will drag on much longer than he would like; for a young woman, the same applies to her boyfriend. 18.

MAD DOG. Dreaming of seeing a wild dog foaming at the mouth and running around means you will be falsely accused of an unethical act or crime. 4, 12, 61.

To dream of getting married yourself predicts your death. 2, 78, 42.

MEASLES. Dreaming that you have this frustrating illness indicates that you'll have good luck, especially if you take part in some shady or dishonest activities, or steal money: but for honest individuals, this omen doesn't apply. If a girl dreams about having the measles, it suggests that a charmer will try to win her heart. 33, 4.

MOTHER. If you dream about fighting with your mother, it means she'll do something generous or give you a gift that will make you happy: dreaming of hugging your mother suggests her potential loss or that you'll be separated from her: if you dream she gives you a present, the dream will likely come true in the sense that she might be having a new baby, either a brother or sister. 46, 34.

48

Dreaming of luscious, ripe yellow peaches suggests that you'll come into a good amount of money, making this dream a great sign for those seeking wealth: however, if the peaches you dream of are very red or appear small and wilted, it indicates that your fortune may be less than expected or that your luck won't bring much. 17, 1, 9.

PEACOCK. Dreaming of this proud bird signifies poverty; if you see it fanning its tail and showing off its beauty, that’s even worse. For a girl to dream of a peacock indicates she will end up with a vain, foolish lover who will turn out to be as broke as a church mouse. 65, 54.

PEANUTS. Dreaming of an abundance of peanuts indicates that you will be poor but content, healthy, and happy. If a married woman who is pregnant dreams of them, it means she will have a boy. 11.

If you dream of buying things from a peddler, it indicates that someone will deceive you, or that one of your debtors will suddenly vanish, which is pretty much the same thing: if a lady managing a household has this dream, she should be cautious to ensure her servants don’t steal or trick her in some way. 42, 13.

However, this dream isn’t very significant since it's just a “counter” to dreaming of a penknife, which is a bad sign. 28, 6.

Dreaming that you are wealthy or have come into a fortune suggests financial struggles and misfortune; however, if you envision someone giving you large amounts of money that could make you wealthy, this dream is likely to come true to the extent that you will gain property.

A married man who has this dream will soon become a joyful father. 7, 9, 63.

SUGAR. Dreaming of sugar symbolizes purity: if someone dreams that their partner gives them white loaf sugar, it means her feelings for him are genuine and selfless; so, it's a positive sign for him to dream about having tea with her, as she would likely add that sugar to his tea. Dreaming of any type of sugar or sugar candy is a very good omen. 19, 48.
