PROSTITUTE. For a young man to dream of associating with prostitutes, is a sign of poverty and disgrace: if he dreams of seeing these girls anywhere, it foretells misfortune or bad luck: for a girl to dream of them, is a sign that her chastity is in danger. 35, 9.
PROUD. To dream of proud people who disgust you, foretells that you will rise in the world: a girl who dreams this of her lover, will probably marry a rich or distinguished man. 3, 32, 13.
PUDDING. To dream of a hard-boiled plum pudding, or a hard roll of pudding of any kind, is a sign you will be invited to a dinner party; but if you imagine the pudding looks soft and mussy, it foretells that you will go to some entertainment where there will be a row. 19, 70.
PULPIT. If any one dreams of going into a pulpit, it is a sign he or she will visit a place of disrepute, as such dreams work contrariwise: for a girl to dream that she assists in ornamenting or dressing a pulpit, foretells that she will do some act that she afterwards regrets, because of an unworthy person being connected therewith. 62.
PUMP. Dreaming of a pump is an excellent omen: if you dream of pumping clear water from one, it shows that you will have good luck in business, or in a speculation: pumping dirty water is a sign of sickness. 29, 4, 20.
PUNCH. To dream of making this beverage, or of drinking it, is a sign of poverty or disgrace; if a girl dreams that her lover treats her to punch, she had better discard him at once, as he will undoubtedly turn out to be a poor and shiftless fellow. 19, 32.
PUNISHMENT. (_See Stick._) To dream of punishing a child, foretells good fortune to the victim, and honors to yourself. For any one to dream of being punished by whipping, is a sign they will rise in the world, or be honored for some act. 7.
PURSE. To dream of finding an empty purse, shadows forth disappointment; if the purse has plenty of money in it, your luck will be excellent—the more money, the better fortune: if it has in it large gold pieces, or large bills, you will become rich either by marriage or inheritance. 78.
PUTTY. To dream of putty, is a sign of poverty: puttying up holes foretells losses—the larger the hole, the more extensive the loss. If you are putting glass into a window with putty, it foretells that you will soon remove into a meaner place than you now occupy. 6, 4.
